...Rhythms of the Heart, Carter creates music that is wonderfully listenable, probingly intelligent and, at times, breathtakingly daring. On one track, Papa Was a Rollin' Stone, she cheekily combines classic soul and traditional jazz, with Cassandra Wilson supplying the vocals. It's the high point of a CD filled with peaks: voice and violin, darting and duetting, taking the listener into the future of jazz...
...issue was Katzenberg's 2% share of royalties from Disney movies and their lucrative spin-offs in video, on CD and on Broadway.

Disney was prepared to state that the big profits came only from the first cycle of theatrical and video release. But this suit was personal.

...just the other day that I realized that my need for, my addiction, if you will, to new music and new albums started when I got my own CD player. And that's sort of surprising: who would think that such a piece of plastic, electronics and wiring would be a change of one's life. But it was. Rather than doing something because I thought it the only way to get ahead, I've made my summer based on my love for music, a love sponsored by what must have cost a hundred dollars...
