Donald Byrd, Great Trumpet Man Passes
SADDENED by the passing away recently of the eloquent man of the trumpet, Donald Byrd. His sound was so very exciting, so lyrical and quite engaging. His improvisatory ideas were shiny and fresh and so vibrant they had brilliant impact on the mind. The super brass men like Donald Byrd were so wonderful and such a joy for all of us who love the magical world of jazz.

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....
