LONDON is a deceiver. On an ordinary street the houses can suddenly close in and stop abruptly with a fence. Stray dogs and debris wander into the blocked street. Beyond it is another district, perhaps with a small church or some woods.

Boston has a floating musical bistro called Jazzboat plying the harbor on two sold-out weekly cruises. Around New Orleans' Bourbon Street the crowds wander in and out of clubs that open onto the sidewalk. They can hear anything from driving Dixieland to the attenuated sounds of progressive jazz. In New York there are more clubs than at any time since...
