Danielo Perez

his recorded interview and performance with Marian McPartland on her "Piano Jazz" series on Concord CD. It is interesting, and insightful and entertaining.

Oh, and you'll like............Chris Anderson

If you like Diana Krall, you will probably like Pat Barber, Holly Cole and Jane Monheit, so there will be no hope for you in this world.

Ah, Bill Evans. The three albums he did with Paul Motian and Scott LeFaro before he (Scott) died: Trio nirvana. Doesn't get better. Lefaro was a monster. Dead at 22? Car accident, I believe. Evans delicate touch of the ivories: sweetness....and Paul Motian? You talk of lightness of being on the skins? Tonight it's Waltz for Debbie.

Warren, that's positively poetic! And I agree completely, Paul Motian has the most amazing touch.
