...JAZZY WONDERLAND (Columbia). And just when you thought you couldn't bear another Christmas song, here come 14 of them by a gaggle of top jazz artists ranging from Harry Connick Jr. and the Marsalis family to Dexter Gordon, Marlon Jordan and Joey DeFrancesco. Hardly the first -- but far from the worst...
...DEXTER GORDON: HOMECOMING -- LIVE AT THE VILLAGE VANGUARD (Columbia). Gordon's 1976 return to the U.S. after 14 years abroad produced a smashing live album. Now reissued with the latest batch of Columbia Jazz Masterpieces releases (other offerings include Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington and Dave Brubeck), this two-disk set features a throaty version of 'Round Midnight that ranks as one of the great tenor sax performances of all time...

Defense attorneys are also insisting that Noriega cannot get a fair trial in a nation where the President has publicly called him a thug. Yet the fact that twelve jurors could be found who were unfamiliar with the congressional testimony of Iran-contra star Oliver North makes it less likely that those objections will stand...
