Rahsaan Roland Kirk, next door at the Jazz Workshop until the end of the weekend, plays zillions of obscure instruments--the strich, for example--and generally puts on a high-energy show.

Still, while the lowerbrow in the schizoid Delderfield reader may thrill to such blood-stirring experiences as skinny dips and off-coast storms, his higherbrowed self can find plenty of social realism. Delderfield makes his reader see-and even smell-boarding-houses with names like Resthaven and Shangri...
