Raining here. The finest part of yesterday, even with all the feasting, even with the caramel pumpkin pie, was sitting cross-legged on the bed with Gabriel listening to a mix of Oscar Peterson, Ella Fitzgerald and Bill Evans. He decided on the setting, first choosing his bed, then Robin's and my bed, then Sam's. He cleared the pillows from each one, an impulse he has to complete whenever he gets on...

His site links to his Facebook and Twitter accounts and indeed, via song.ly, he tried this year to promote Canadian jazz by directing people to hosted MP3s by Canadian jazz musicians. At his site, Lapp...

The Death of the Cool By Robert McHenry Cool was once associated with reticence, savoir-faire, and irony, none of which is much practiced or regarded these days. Whether or not it is true that you can’t go home again, as Thomas Wolfe claimed—and the claim is just a special case of the more general observation of Heraclitus that you cannot step into the same river twice—it seems that...
