Core classes are notorious for having long, unexciting lectures and mind-numbing sections. Given this context, Literature and Arts B-82, “Sayin’ Something: Jazz as Sound, Sensibility and Social Dialogue,” stands out for its guest lecturer this week. Geri Allen, an award-winning pianist and composer, is one of the most prominent female musicians in jazz today. Allen is finishing up a week-long residency at Harvard consisting of educational discussions, performances, and hands-on practice.

...special effects to bring the toys in the store to life. And while the toys themselves aren’t outrageously original or imaginative (in fact, the film features several commercial toys that already exist) they add a quiet charm to the film’s colorful construction.
