A jazz news reader recently sent us an e-mail asking where he could buy For All Time, the Dave Brubeck box set we reported on in August. Hope he didn’t snoop around for it in the stores for too long.

Jonathan Butler: The Simple Life
Jonathan Butler’s optimistic music belies a dirt-poor childhood growing up in a South Africa segregated by apartheid. Live in South Africa, a new CD and DVD package, presents a sense of the resulting inner turmoil, mixed with dogged resolve, that paved the way to his status as an icon in his country and successful musician outside of it.
