That meant a great deal to me in the New York Times. I am currently writing a spiritual memoir about how singing at The Alley, a piano bar in Oakland, changed my life. The New York Times.

8220;Choreographer Robert Moses paces like a boxer preparing for the ring, breaking into spurts of movement that twitch and flow and transform a stocky 52-year-old body into an instrument of anxious grace. Get your rhythms in your weight, he calls sternly to his two dozen students after he demonstrates the phrase, a whirlwind of rippling torso and whiplash legs. Questions? Going once, going twice? Fine, sold. A mordant smile cracks above his silver whiskers. Do you want long or short? He asks, laughing i...
