There's laid back and then there's Paul Desmond. A tone like no other, a sense of rhythm like Bird, an awareness of space like Miles,. The result is poetry in musical motion. If you can forget the world just for a moment, listen to Desmond just for a minute. There's a romaticism that trancends the obvious. A conquest of the sublime through simple musical form, so clear to the ear, so hard to realise. Paul Desmond, we thank you.
This man is responsible for my love of alto sax. I picked up this horn at the age of 15 and, I think, I will die with it stuck in my mouth as I take my last breath. Never get tired of listening to this magic sound. To make my story even more magic, I just met Don Thompson (b) at the Vancouver Island University as he was working with the 4th year students, preparing them for their final graduation recital. Another "Gentle Giant" of jazz. Four nights of Don on piano and vibes.Can you beat that?
