...Matt Savage, who led his trio through a swinging, bop-tinged evening at Manhattan's Blue Note. His sets ranged from the standard My Favorite Things to originals like Groovin' on Mount Everest. He traced melodies simply, sometimes decorating them with trills, and shifted between softly gliding passages and furious fantasias with his arms whipping up and down the keyboard, using even his fist to bang out a climactic chord.

It also stands in contrast to Dean's furious backpedaling...

They threw him a ball near the end of the game, and he was supposed to go out of bounds with it. Cozza was furious when he turned it back inside before he took it in for the touchdown. [It] turned out to be the game-winner...
