Ten years on, it's still all about the jazz, baby. The Hawaii International Jazz Festival celebrates its first decade of existence with shows at the Blaisdell Concert Hall on July 18-19, and Wailea Marriott on July 25-26. Performers include Grammy-winning flutist Nestor Torres, Grammy-nominated pianist Makoto Ozone, guitarist Larry Coryell, vocalist Tierney Sutton and trumpeter Tiger Okoshi.

Playing for the home team will be Jake Shimabukuro (right), Keahi Conjugacion, Gabe Baltazar, Jimmy Borges, the Honolulu Jazz Quartet and more. Check www.hawaiijazz.com or call 941-9974.

Brief your baby-sitter before you go out

Make sure your baby-sitter is savvy about safety, with these tips from Parents magazine:

Emergency care: Infant/child CPR and first-aid training are essential. Discuss common choking hazards.
Accident action plan: Show your sitter where you keep your fire extinguishers, first-aid kit, flashlights and emergency phone numbers.
Drowning prevention: The sitter should keep the bathroom door and toilet lid closed, and never leave a child unattended in a bath.
Sleep: The sitter should put a baby to bed on his back and keep the crib free of quilts, pillows and stuffed toys.

Where there's a Will ... they're on the way

The National Endowment for the Arts will launch what chairman Dana Gioia calls "the biggest tour of Shakespeare in American history." Between September 2003 and November 2004, Shakespeare in American Communities will bring professional companies to all 50 states. (Hawai'i's date is not yet settled.)
