During my freshman year, I served as a reheasal pianist for a bunch of on-campus shows, performing with G&S at the Loeb, but I was most involved with the DHO. From there I started getting into producing: twice for DHO and once for HRDC (Into the Woods). While I absolutely love opera, I cannot sing at all, so producing was the best way for me to involve myself and be as close as I could to the actual performances without being on stage. I am also a broadcaster for WHRB and have an opera show Sunday nights every...
Jones sold 8 million copies of Come Away with Me, her lovely, unpretentious 2002 debut. While that's an incredible figure for an album by a previously unknown jazz pianist and singer, it does not really convey the extent of Jones' ubiquity. ZZ Top once sold 8 million records, but you could avoid Eliminator by staying out of biker bars. Come Away with Me--by virtue of being inoffensive, authentic and really good--was inescapable. If Jones wasn't laying down a mellow vibe for your latte, she was providing the sound track for your dinner party, the theme...
DIED. RUBEN GONZALEZ, 84, Cuban pianist who rose to international fame as a member of the Buena Vista Social Club band; of respiratory and kidney failure; in Havana. With a gutsy and playful musical style, he was a pioneer of the mambo and the cha-cha.

...bolted the lush?s apartment door from the outside just before the murder was committed - and, as played by Duryea, is a sympathetic soul looking to redeem a promising life pissed away. He?s also falling in love with Catherine. So he joins forces with her as a pianist-singer duo at the nightclub of menacing Marko (Peter Lorre), who knew the dead woman. All this amateur sleuthing wins the initial contempt of detective Broderick Crawford, who snarls to Marty, ?You just gotta play detective. Do I go around playin? piano...
DIED. RUBéN GONZÁLEZ, 84, pianist and patriarch of Cuba's music scene who found late-life stardom after his appearance on the Grammy Award-winning 1997 album Buena Vista Social Club and in the subsequent documentary; in Havana. González, who was rediscovered by guitarist Ry Cooder, was initially nervous about playing on the album: he suffered from arthritis and didn't have a piano (his was ruined by termites). But he welcomed the attention and happily began performing again. "If I can't take a piano with me to heaven," he said...
