The majority of the passengers could not swim, and those not forced overboard by the flames in mid-river, had to jump, or were thrown, into the water when the ship grounded, bow-on, on North Brother Island and the upper decks began to collapse.

Regardless of that, I just have to comment on how amazing this person’s ears must be to hear all these chords, voicings, inversions and rhythms. The person who transcribed all of these great Bill Evans’ solos does not seem to be mentioned in this Omnibook. The colors of his chord voicings, the melodic and lyrical performance, the rhythmic variances in his playing and the interplay and communication between the piano, bass and drums is exciting and rewarding to listen to. I also like playing his music when I have company over to the house as it just sets up the perfect ambiance and class to a dinner or social event.

The problem with SwordSearcher is all the points I listed above. Probably the most polished program I've seen from a design perspective. They really don't compete because most who love e-Sword won't love theWord and vice versa (theWord isn't as simple to use, caters to a more advanced audience, offers a level of depth not in e-Sword but that makes it more complicated).
