Amazing.

As before, I have the book Study of Fourths available. I had to move the link to a different location. Just go to: playpianowithsparks This is a Dot Com site :)

I love the message of this poem. As one who came to appreciate Bebop a bit later in life, I feel that this form of music will be immortal as long as there are jazz fans who will listen.

Should make it into to a kid book, kid these days need some more Jazz education, so they have some. It's better than none.

This lovely talented long tall genius wrote a poem for me for DEATH OF A BEBOP WIFE, a man who was lauded as a genius in Japan and Africa but could not get a gig in New York even with his bebop reputation of playing with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie; Al Haig, my first husband, called "BISH" to take his place on BIRD WITH STRINGS. I was the still photographer when he married Keiko and I treasured this beautiful man's sensitivity with words and the piano. A true genius.
