Did anyone see the fascinating New Yorker piece on Weldon Keys? Not surprisingly, I'd never heard of him until my favorite professor, who had known him in San Francisco half a century ago, published this wonderful CD of recordings on piano and clarinet. Just some relaxed jazz with clever lyrics, but very nice. As it turned out, a friend of mine - a poet and clarinetist who recently moved to town - is a Keys admirer, and so was quite pleased with this CD.

Oh, and I should note that the iTunes purchase of the Hendrix is wholly attributable to the stranger
