Stan Kenton Big Band Enchants All of Us

Jazz time today. I got excited with this beautiful warm weather. Feelin' super! Been listening to tremendous jazz music. Just finished enjoying the brash and terrific Stan Kenton Big Band. The sound is wild...Gigantic sheets of sound...fine brass work and saxes and a beat that engages one's mind. The tunes that got me going in this Stan Kenton time were 'Limehouse Blues' and 'Harlem Nocturne.' Superior work by the Kenton aggregation.

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.
