...Geri Halliwell: Spice Girl turned U.N. Goodwill Ambassador Skinny: If she wants to be a real humanitarian, she'll spare the world another solo album ODDS...
Susan Sonntag writes that good camp constitutes a third aesthetic genre, right alongside the beautiful and the sublime. The good camp in this show is made up of Al Shookup (Seth Fenton '01), Brook Werm (Adam Green '99), Geri Atrick (Ben Forkner '01) and Elle Nino (Royd Chung '01).

In the end, both recordings prove to be quality examples of contemporary small-group jazz. They are worthwhile, though not essential, acquisitions for serious acoustic jazz fans...
Haden's trio with Geri Allen feels less like a vehicle for showcasing the pianist and more like a veteran, integrated combo--no surprise, since they had played and recorded together well prior to the engagement, unlike the group with Rubalcaba. Allen's set is also evenly divided between the compositions of Allen, Haden and Motian, while Rubalcaba's featured three Haden tunes and three standards...
