Jazz and the meaning of life

Although there have been no new entries to this blog for months, the visitors keep on coming. That's a great testament to Al and it makes me (his widow, Faith) really proud to have been part of the life of such a special man. By far the most popular read is Al's Jazz Journey (see side menu), the story of how he came to love jazz and a selection of his favourite music. He wrote it for me soon after we got together in order to explain his musical love to his romantic love and later recorded voice and music together. When I listen to it, I am still impressed by the lightness of language and sheer intelligence of analysis - but most of all by the philosophy of life revealed through it. Al was my great love - and I know I was his. It feels right to use this blog he created to make some observations about his legacy. More soon.
