...Chestnut the best jazz pianist of his generation is a willingness to abandon notes and to play space. He rescues Roberta Flack's The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and Bread's truly horrible AM-radio hit If from years of accumulated treacle by tinkling out the barest hint of melody, confidently letting each note float around until it resolves itself in your head.

...deceptive. Many of the ivy titles were won in more extensive league championships that the Crimson did not always win but merely finished ahead of other ivy brethren. These titles, however, were all earned at a great expenditure of hard work and dedication, and are generally only given the barest of recognition in this paper’s sports page or on the athletic department’s website.
