If, and only if, you can't go another day without hearing some Jazz, then your best bet would be to head down to the Jazz Workshop to get an earful of Chuck Manglone, Monday through Thursday at 8:30 and 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, 8:30, 10:30, and 12:30.

But if you can hold out until Friday night, you can get a look at the Duke Ellington orchestra conducted by Duke's son Mercer at nearby Sanders Theatre.

The Harvard Summer School concert, with $4 and $3 seats, should be especially attractive to Duke's fans, because Mercer is in the process of changing the orchestra's repertoire to mostly Duke's old stands and a couple of lesser known Ellington varieties.

Two Generations of Brubeck is back in town, that is if Lenox, Mass, can be considered part of town. Brubeck, at least to me, has not written or played an original piece of music in the past ten years and with the possible exception of Take Five, I never thought he deserved any of the acclaim that critics usually shower upon him.

But he is everybody's favorite, so I feel helpless in recommending that you don't attend this concert.
