Bill Evans: Vivid Improvisatory Elegance
Poetic jazz piano performances are inspiring. One of the most eloquent jazz piano artists is the passionate man of intense creativity, Bill Evans. Some of his work on the incomparable Riverside label is so profound. A veneer of resilient passion shines in the immaculate improvisatory work of Bill Evans. A strong, favorite of mine in the Evans musical portfolio is the jazz composition with so much lyrical quality....the one called 'Waltz for Debby.' Just like other elegant jazz pianists like Bud Powell and McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans is an artist of tremendous power. His penchant for grand linear keyboard work is a marvelous joy to experience.

Nice Writing
THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy. He does not use too many adjectives. His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.

COOLING OFF WITH WEST COAST JAZZ is loads of fun. The temp is wildly hot now and so I listened to Art Pepper jazz, grand West Coast stuff....
