...think it was much of a story," Bob says bluntly, and he is as cheerfully caustic to his regular customers. His goal is to buy his own snack shop or maybe even a small restaurant-nightclub where the Great Pacific Jazz Band, the septet he has led from his piano for 20 years, can play. These days, they've got a regular Sunday gig in Encino. Sometimes Molly drops by to sing...

In Palm Beach, Fla., last week, Ignat Solzhenitsyn, 13, played in his most formal concert yet, performing Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto with the Soviet Emigre Orchestra. Only 18 months old when his father was exiled, the boy has thrived at his family's isolated home in Cavendish, Vt., where he began playing at age six and still practices between schoolwork for three hours a day.
