We were so honored to have had as our guest for our recent May 31st "Book Lunch", featuring author Laurie Verchomin. We discussed her poetic and classic memoir, "The Big Love: Life And Death With Bill Evans", which in my view one of the best jazz books to have come out in a long time, in part for the individual uniqueness of the author's perspective. We also discussed her spiritual journey and her artistic progress. I also wrote an original piano piece to thank Laurie called "Verchomin's Buddha Nature". It was so special to have her on and we know you will love it ! https://anchor.fm/mitch-hampton https://www.patreon.com/journeyofanaesthete?fan_landing=true https://www.jouneyofanaesthetepodcast.com/ http://www.audibletrial.com/JourneyofanAesthete New England Conservatory #music #jazz #composing #humanities #podcasts #audible #anchorfm #film #theatre #philosophy #filmtheory #filmarchives #spirituality #jazz #composition #literature #poetry #soundart #soundtracks #playwrighting #theatre #arts #travel #augustwilson #legacy #writing #philisophy #artsbroadcasting #books #audiobooks #creativity #artists #folkart #artisans #creation #spiritual #meditation #academics #filmarchives #travel #travelwriting #music #BillEvans #jazz #Buddhism #spirituality --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mitch-hampton/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/mitch-hampton/support
