February 24, 2010
The concert promoter George Wein, now 84, has been getting out to clubs lately. "More than 20 times in the past year," he said in an interview on Tuesday. In Brooklyn, which he reckons he hasn't visited more than two dozen times since 1960, he's been to Zebulon and Barbès and the tiny Puppets. He's been spending time at the Jazz Gallery, on Hudson Street in the South Village. And there he was last month during the crammed, chaotic Winter Jazzfest, settled in for a long night at Kenny's Castaways on Bleecker Street.

As 2009 rolled around it "wasn't quite dead," like the resolute characters in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. But it was walking toward the light.
