Re: [F_minor] Gould and jazz

[Brad Lehman <bpl@umich.edu>]

10 years ago here, February 1996 (and some more in 1997), we had a 
lively discussion about the Bill Evans album "Symbiosis" that GG raved 
about.  Apparently, a copy of the score was also found in Gould's estate.

For a while, Verve promoted this album with a sticker on the outside of 
the packaging, proclaiming Gould's endorsement of this music.  Maybe 
they still have that sticker?  "What a tremendous impression it has made 
upon me. 'Symbiosis' is very much my kind of music. I have been 
listening [to it] almost obsessively. ... [It has] had a particular 
influence upon me over the years."

This album was composed and conducted by Claus Ogermann, who also had 
been the main arranger for Barbra Streisand's album "Classical 
Barbra"--another Gould favorite album.
