Critics liked his musical descriptions of a murky autumn morning on a ferry; of the chimes of St. Patrick blended with a Gregorian Chant; of Pell Street, Manhattan's Chinatown, and an old Chinaman playing on his single-stringed fiddle; of Greenwich Village and its weighty dramas made of little lives; of Times Square, its crowds, its glitter, its noise...
