...chosen to pursue it in the challenging and unpredictable world of new music rather than in the classics. He need not have done so. His flawless technique and singing interpretative style would have been enough to rank him with any of his contemporaries in the safe world of traditional concert life. But while Zukofsky can, and does, play the classics, he sees himself as a latter-day Liszt, introducing the music of his own time, chronicling it and, since he is a composer himself, writing it as well...

Someone brought in a plastic garbage can of Budweiser and ice cubes. When the Burrito Brothers came back in, everyone started getting pretty drunk. Then their drummer took off a wandered out amongst the crowd of a couple of thousand kids to find a girl. He was back in five minutes with a girl in hipslung blue jeans and an ironed...
