...device still means going through the skin and thus providing a possible infection site, but researchers have found ways to keep the invasiveness to a minimum. The Jarvik 2000--a far more elegant successor to the Jarvik-7--runs power through a fixed jack implanted behind the patient's ear. And Abiomed's AbioCor uses a small transmitter outside the skin to beam radio waves for conversion to electricity inside. Designers have also found ingenious ways to have their hearts do the actual pumping: the AbioCor is essentially a sphere within a sphere, with the inner ball scuttling back...

Everything emerges extremely ear-friendly, and while Schwartz doesn't provide extraordinary insights into old material, he does offer a varying array of comfortable, well-worn tunes. This is a musician who focusses on his strengths but also knows his own limits, leading to an easy and diverse sound...
