I've been fortunate to know masters of improvised ...

Bobby Cole: A Point of View

A sole figure leans slightly against a building, downcast, staring into his soul, and waiting out a lit cigarette when it was still hip to smoke. The guy is Frank Sinatra and the album was In The Wee Small Hours. ...
