When A. Lawrence Lowell, Class of 1877, was formally installed as Harvard’s 22nd president, undergraduates were an integral part of the festivities. The College band and a 160-member chorus performed as 13,000 spectators looked on in the Old Yard. Several hours after the ceremony, torch-bearing students wearing red sashes marched en masse from the Yard to the stadium, which also radiated a bold, crimson hue—with red Japanese lanterns forming a glowing “H” along the goalposts. Students marched twice around the track and cheered...
...synthetic strings and the piano enter with the syncopated rhythms of Thelonius Monk. As the album progresses, though, there is a clear shift to house music (although the jazz is still a constant influence) mainly in the way that the songs are constructed with an opening chorus, an improvised middle section and return to the chorus at the end.

In a time when bubble-gum pop, bad rap-rock crossovers and vapid divas seem to control the airwaves, Ben Folds, thankfully...
...grooves that have captured so many listeners. The first few tracks are vintage Jamiroquai, the standout being the first single, “Little L,” which has the band’s signature high energy. With a funky beat and a catchy, singable chorus, it’s the kind of song that has become par for Jamiroquai’s course over the years. It’s only as the album progresses, though, that its sound diversifies, and the quality really picks...
