Bill Evans at the Vanguard was always a gas. - Donald Fagen ヴァンガードのビル・エヴァンスは、いつだって最高だった。ドナルド・フェイゲン


Complete Village Vanguard Recordings 1961 - Bill Evans

" Bill Evans at the Vanguard was always a gas. Those familiar only with his studio recordings don’t realize what a spry, funky hard-charger he co uld be on “up” material in a live setting. When he played quirky tunes like “Little Lulu,” he could be funny, too. Of course, even then, he rarely shifted out of that posture you see in photo s, doubled over at the waist, head inside the piano as if trying to locate a rattly string. By th e late seventies, I noticed that this quintessentia l modernist had developed an odd, loping shuffle in h is right-hand lines, as if he was regressing to an antiquated rhythmic style dating back to Will ie Smith’s day. What was up with that? " by Eminent Hipsters: Donald Fagen

" ヴァンガードのビル・エヴァンスは、いつだって最高だった。彼のスタジオ・レコーディングしか知らない人は、ライブという場で「あがる」曲をやっていた時の彼が、どれだけエネルギッシュで、ファンキーな攻め手だったかがわかっていない。 " by ヒップの極意 EMINENT HIPSTERS ドナルド・フェイゲン

Steve Jobs: For all his insistence, he respected passion. スティーブ・ジョブズは、自己主張が激しい反面、情熱を尊重する人だった。


" (3) our debate would be inconclusive, in which case I’d just go ahead and do what I had proposed in the first place. Each outcome was equally likely, but when this third option occurred, Steve never questioned me. For all his insistence, he respected passion. If I believed in something that strongly, he seemed to feel, it couldn’t be all wrong. " P.58

The 10,000 hour rule: How long do Olympic athletes train for on average? - 10,000 時間積み上げの法則

" The 10,000 hour rule, based on a study by Anders Ericsson. Gladwell claims that greatness requires enormous time, using the source of The Beatles' musical talents and Gates' computer savvy as examples. The Beatles performed live in Hamburg, Germany over 1,200 times from 1960 to 1964, amassing more than 10,000 hours of playing time, therefore meeting the 10,000 hour rule. Gladwell asserts that all of the time The Beatles spent performing shaped their talent, and quotes Beatles' biographer Philip Norman as saying, [So by the time they returned to England from Hamburg, Germany, they sounded like no one else. It was the making of them.] Gates met the 10,000 hour rule when he gained access to a high school computer in 1968 at the age of 13, and spent 10,000 hours programming on it. "
