...cool and she is hot, sultry and cerebral, soft and brassy -loud enough to wake the folks in New Jersey. She does her standards, like Can't Help Loving Dat Man of Mine, and successfully essays a few that are not attached to her name, like The Surrey with the Fringe on Top.

The experience appears to have sharpened his sense of irony. He writes lyrically of the terrain of Spain, of the "vast and seamless tent" of sky above Madrid. Like...
