...harpsicord to Carter's short-and-to-the-point solos. Carter, who is now one of the top recording bassists, also plays on Tyner's "Fly With The Wind" and "Supertrios." The latter is not as uniformly strong an album as "Trident," but does include an excellent Tyner-Carter duet on Ellington's classic tune, "Preludes to a Kiss...
...framework some numbers are strong enough to stand on their own. In "Bird Lament" a woman sings of the sadness of a bird, bringing herself and the audience to the point of tears without any movement or human language.

For every crisis and every resolution, there is a song; but as the music and lyrics are scarcely less cliched than the plot, the songs hardly lighten the play...
Studied Unreality. If this movie were a big-band arrangement, it would be a duet for a sax man and a girl singer, but with the soloists in a different key from the band. Smack in the midst of the gold-tinsel snowfalls and the studied unreality of the sound stages, Scorsese spins out a naturalistic, contemporary-feeling melodrama about a love affair that goes sour...
