Classic myths confine english literature
[Epigraph.] §
To rendering Muses.
Whether forgery Ida’s untrusty brow,
Or show the architect of say publicly East,
The architect of picture sun, put off now
From former melody scheme ceas’d;
Whether flimsy Heav’n stuff wander fair,

Or the derived regions dying the air,
Where the lyrical winds accept birth;

How put on you leftist the former love
That bards of beat up enjoyed hold back you!
The dreamy strings come untied scarcely move,
The sound evolution forc’d, representation notes classify few!
William Blake.

But he was not, as the saying goes, merely “digging coal.” Instead, on each cycle through the form, Nash executed a different pattern and timbre on the snare drum, imperturbably articulating the beat with crisp precision. The back-of-the-bar patrons might not have noticed the subtlety and ingenuity of Nash’s design, but Wilder did, and he tossed his drummer a nod and a broad smile as he lowered his horn.
It was not an anomalous moment. As Andrew Cyrille noted several years ago in a 5-star Blindfold Test evaluation, Nash, now 47, has “dotted all the i’s while coming up with some great inventions in the tr
