"Oh, yes," he says, "it is very possible that I will play, but I don't want to travel." And he will probably give his public scant warning of what would surely be the most dramatic and talked-about recital of the year. "I would like," says Horowitz, "to announce an appearance quite modestly-and at the last minute...
...bossa nova while on a State Department-sponsored tour of Latin America. It was simple, Byrd discovered, "to play a very full jazz solo with this stuff; you can do a great deal that you can't do with regular four-four time."

...wartime torpedoing of a Liberty ship before he settled down to a diet of slim pickings on Broadway-supporting roles and choruses. He had no better luck touring small nightclubs and occasionally appearing on television. He seemed to hit bottom in 1960 when he recorded a slow-selling album titled A Tribute to Mario Lanza, with his own name printed in minuscule letters across the bottom of the jacket. Stuarti's rising fortunes, as a matter of fact, can be measured by that very same album: now that he is a nightclub success, it has sold 150,000 copies...
