...Cola's original title was El Coca-Cola Grande. Coca-Cola threatened to sue for copyright infringement, so they changed the title. It shows you how reasonable even the largest corporations can be. The show is a pidgin-Spanish parody of a tenth-rate nightclub act, and it got rave reviews, although all my friends who've seen it say it's terrible. Opens tomorrow at 8 p.m. at the Cabaret at the Charles Playhouse in Boston...

Billy Taylor, formally the leader of the band on the David Frost Show, played brilliantly. His skillful quotations were full of polish and wit, and they showed a musical form deeply rooted in the classical tradition. Earl "Father" Hines, perhaps the most acclaimed jazz pianist alive, captivated the audience by holding a right hand trill for five complete courses, simultaneously improvising with his left hand...
