Here's a haunting one by Bill Evans - can't get enough of him. I actually caught him live at the Hollywood Bowl years ago, along with Dave Brubeck and George Shearing on the same bill.

AN INTERVIEW WITH MARIAN MCPARTLAND
I've been a fan of Marian McPartland for a number of years. In fact, I learned her arrangement of "Emily" from one of her early lps.
Billy Taylor is in charge of this interview. Enjoy.........

- As Time Goes By -
I hadn't realized how long it had been since I posted - I've been working on a couple of CD's since my last post. One is called "Songs for Valerie", (my wife) and the other is called "Quiet Elegance" which is synthesized harp music. Both are on CDBaby.com. CDBaby.com is a great resource for unknown artists, like myself, to reach a broader audience and they even have resonably priced hosting for music websites.

- Bill Evans: The Days of Wine and Roses -
I could listen to Bill Evans all day long. His smooth improvisations, harmonics, and technical excellence really appeal to me. (click on arrow to see the video)
