...audience. Both have spirituality. You learn the jazz vocabulary by listening to records and watching other musicians. Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey.

You have to be as faithful to it as possible." On Dec. 4, Marsalis will test his fidelity in concert at New York City's Lincoln Center, appearing with Flautist Hubert Laws and Soprano Kathleen Battle on a program that will highlight both Bach and Ellington.

Inside, Georges Danton, self-absorbed as usual, pays scant heed to the instrument with which in a matter of weeks he will find more intimate acquaintance. On this same grim morning in the winter of 1793-94, Maximilien Robespierre, whose health (and humanity) has been virtually consumed by the revolutionary fever that has burned within his puritanical soul for a lifetime, reluctantly awakens. He knows that with the return to Paris of Danton, once a colleague in revolution...
