Entry #127

Listening to:

Oscar Peterson, "Tricrotism" from The sound of the trio. Classic jazz, recorded live at a restaurant, London House in Chicago. As this track starts, you can hear the clink of cutlery, which is pretty neat. The way that Peterson sort of sings to himself as he plays live is something I'm still getting used to. It occurs on the live tracks on Oscar Peterson's finest hour too.

Glenn Gould is famous for doing the same on some of his recordings. Some people like it, and some loathe it.

From the random($foo) weblog:

George Bush said he didn't reveal the drunk driving charge because of what his daughters might think of him. He had preferred that they think of him as a man with numerous failed business ventures who now executes people.
