...rather than drown out the singers. Böhm's stickwork, as spare and exacting as needlepoint, is also an inheritance from Strauss, who, to contain his enthusiasm, often conducted with his left hand in his pocket. Years ago, during a Dresden performance of Die Frau, Strauss forgot himself and signaled a climax by thrusting both fists in the air. Böhm later chided him for it. At the next performance, the composer introduced the climax by shaking only his right hand in the air; with his left, he waved to Böhm, sitting...

After inviting them, the Soviet government did everything it could think of to mash the smash-even going so far as to cancel scheduled performances in Moscow and Leningrad. Hines and his boys found plenty of cats in the boondocks, playing to S.R.O. crowds. "Jazz is happiness," grinned Fatha. "I know the Russians don't have much to smile about, but after they heard...
