SUBJECT:	Bear Comes Home by Rafi Zabor Back to Subjects
eric Feb 23 2015 at 7:20 PM	So I’m at my local wonderful library, where I get books printed on paper to read - what a pleasure - and I see this orange cover, with a black silhouette of a bear playing a sax on the cover - then I see the name Rafi Zabor, whose writing I have always respected. It’s in the 25 cent rack - buy a book and support the library thing - and as I start to read the first page I fall in love with it. A story about a bear who plays jazz, who lives and breathes jazz and who talks - or speaks, eloquently. I turn over the book and there, on the back cover is an endorsement of the book by our man, Pat Metheny. Wow, there is no such thing as coincidence. You like to read? You like music? Read this book. (PS 1979? Where was I? Oh right at the Pat show in Asbury Park.)
