He is even better live than on the records---for one thing, he always makes a spectacular entrance. Unfortunately, I don't know anything of his schedule (he was last in Boston quite recently, so I expect he won't be \here/ for a while); I believe he's booked through a New York City agency that you should be able to call or write (they may even have branch offices).
