Retroactive Pulitzer #1
Author's Note: This record has inspired me to create a new feature- the Retroactive Pulitzer. I will be handing them out at random intervals for work that I deem to be of the most outstanding & deserving calibre. So there.
I'm sure many of you reading this (especially if you are Seth Gordon) are saying to yourselves, "Well Tom, where have you been?" and the answer is, "Damned if I know." Eddie Sauter's ridiculously effective & authentic hommage to the ichi ban composer of the 20th century filtered through the ceaslessly inventive playing of Stan Getz and conducted by one of the guys who invented the "Broadway Chic" style of orchestration that the Washington Post has so astutely accused moi of practicing will jamais leave my iPod.
Jamais, je dis.
