Valerie Capers Hears All
Sun Bronx apartment of the pianist Valerie Capers as she played the Cy Coleman classic "The Best Is Yet to Come," caressing each word in her warm, husky voice. With only a week to go, she was rehearsing every day for her September 3 debut at Dizzy's Club Coca-Cola, the opening night of the monthlong "Diet Coke Women in Jazz Festival." Cindy Blackman, Renee Rosnes, Carol Sloane and other top artists will also perform in the series. "I'm not quite satisfied," Ms. Capers said to the bassist John Robinson, a member of her quintet. "Try it with me?" Setting up next to the piano, he said, "Valerie, you're never satisfied!" Laughing, she replied, "You're right about that!" They swung into the tune. If Ms. Capers, 65, didn't wear dark glasses, it would take some time to realize that she is blind, having lost her sight at six as a result of a childhood illness.

Lottery fever strikes
It didn't take Maria Strazemski long to name what she would buy if she wins the $330 million Mega Millions jackpot tonight. "I'd buy my husband a Porsche, and share with my family," said Strazemski, 57, of the Richfield section of Clifton. "I'd travel to the Mediterranean and take a cooking class in Tuscany." She did not feel that a jackpot could be too large, but felt that with a certain size jackpot, several people should win. "Or, someone who is in need should definitely win," she added. On Thursday, the New Jersey Lottery Commission and acting Executive Director William T. Jourdain were visiting a booth at Blaine Avenue on the Boardwalk to sell tickets for tonight's drawing and give advice to people buying tickets. The jackpot is $330 million for the annuity option paid over 26 years, and $194.4 million for cash.
