Wacky coincidences department: I was taking a tour of the Hollywood Bowl this afternoon when I saw a photograph of a conductor named Izler Solomon. Who he, I asked myself. Signing on to the classical Internet (user name and password: Tristan Klingsor), I find that Soho the Dog had this very day answered exactly that question, in the midst of a meaty post on the Federal Music Project, which I wrote about a while back.
