HOFFMAN EYES JAZZ CAREER

DUSTIN HOFFMAN is chasing an unfulfilled life ambition to become a jazz pianist.
The Rain Man actor has starred in dozens of hit films in his thirty-year big-screen career - but he insists he would give up Hollywood in an instant to be an accomplished piano player.
And so the star has begun taking lessons to help him achieve his dream.
He says, "I promised myself that before I kicked the bucket I'd become a decent jazz player. The guy I'm practising with says he'll have me playing in a year.
"If God tapped me on the shoulder and offered me an ultimatum - acting or jazz piano - I'd make the decision in a New York minute."
