As one of the Blues Brothers, the blue-eyed soul group that brought Belushi a platinum record and a big-budget movie, this slab in a black suit would suddenly turn a series of split-second cartwheels, like a hippo Baryshnikov. Belushi was the ideal comic complement to his SNL colleague, close friend and fellow Blues Brother Dan Aykroyd. But whereas Aykroyd disappears into his wicked, perfectly pitched characterizations, Belushi was a Method mimic. His impersonations seemed fun-house mirrors of his own turbulence.

In addition, the Royal performed, for the first time...
...sentimental. Playing against Martins' coolness is the fervor with which the youngsters perform. Lisa Jackson is a formidable technician at 19, and Gen Horiuchi, 16, has a thrilling attack and dumbfounding poise. He seems to have minutely observed his mentor (one hand on hip, glance askance) and also Baryshnikov (a tendency to open his mouth to show emotion). The audience loved...
