...Good, Happy Style. Jonah used to blow his horn open, and no man in the business blew it better. But Jonah's clarion trumpet call sounded too loud over the tinkle of cocktail conversation, and for most of his career he was never able to make it into the plush jazz caves where the money lies. Then in 1955 he had an offer to fill in at The Embers, reluctantly agreed to play with a mute, and quickly evolved the "good, happy style" that has brought the crowds running to him ever since...

Balfour-"both of whom were trembling, they were so ashamed"-Lady Astor even stirred up a critique on her big moment from a clarion-voiced observer: "Afterwards Sir Winston Churchill said I had made a very remarkable performance-but he would only speak to me in the lobby, not in the House. He said: 'When you entered, I felt you had come upon me in my bath and I'd nothing...
