As a brazilian who loves bossa nova, i gotta say he's the american who better understood that Brazilian aesthetics. The notes come out of his sax as if they were weightless; yet, they are warm and chill, marked with elegance and a bit of sensuality. Like drinking caipirinha by the Copacabana Beach in a January afternoon.

That moment when Charles Mingus visited a sick Paul -- Mingus walked into the bedroom, where Paul lay sleeping. Mingus stood there for a long time in vigil. Then Paul awoke. Mingus was dressed all in black, including a cape and a leather hat. "I thought The Man had come for me!" Paul told Dave later. LoL <3

He doesn't swing in the sense Cannonball does, but he was a unique voice, and instantly recognizable. His sound alone marks him as one of the unique players in Jazz, but his sparse melodicism is also unexcelled.

The general feeling always was that Paul Desmond provided the swing behind Dave Brubeck, who was technically interesting, but rhythmically a bit stodgy. Happy to be corrected by Brubeck's supporters. However, what is rarely denied is that Paul was an exceptional artist in his own right. Always inventive. Rarely playing anything dull.
