** SUMMARY ** Books AAJ USA Articles AAJ Italy Mr. Soprano The TAO Saxophone on Tour CD Liner Notes Concert Reviews Essays Poetry Unpublished Works
Gilles writes daily: personal remarks, taking notes of events witnessed in the streets, jotting down dreams and realities, documenting small "things," seeing many details that happen to be right there -- numbers, words, colors, sounds -- which, more than often, remain unnoticed by many. Observing and writing is one of his special gifts.
