  1. I would be interested.
  2. I liked it too. One thing that struck me was how much Steve Kuhn had already absorbed the message of Bill Evans.
  3. I was born in '55 and I consider that to be the classic period. The jazz from later decades that I enjoy most is rooted mainly in that classic period. And you know players I'm speaking of, Bill.
  4. Oh yes, highly recommended, Bill. I am reading it slowly and treasuring it. I am up to about 1944, when Buddy was discharged after a very controversial stint in the U.S. Armed Forces (he actually wanted to serve overseas and they wouldn't let him; of course, his famous temper finally landed him in solitary confinement before a medical discharge), and rejoined Tommy Dorsey (at least briefly). Rich's story is compelling (his relationship with Sinatra is detailed) and the coverage of the swing era is quite fascinating.
  5. Happy Birthday Don!
  6. Happy Birthday Bill. A young 80, I would say.
