...Yuen divided time between their primary instruments and kalimbas for the calypso "Global Warming," a tune which simultaneously reflected Rollins' environmental concerns as well as the African influence in Carribean and American music. Anderson proved a worthy front-line counterpart for Rollins. Their joint choral statements were closer to interplay than harmonization; they seemed to form a mutual inspiration society. Anderson's solos added much needed firepower which both complemented the maestro and compensated for Rollins' more conservative improvisatory moments. Anderson's feature on Duke Ellington's "In My Solitude" stands out as a highlight of the concert. His flurry...
...problem with Bette is not Bette but "Bette." Miss M is a perfect stage persona, high decibel enough to reach the cheap seats. But TV needs character, not caricature, and interplay, not vamping. When "Bette" sings Wind Beneath My Wings to make up to her hubby, Midler is really playing to the studio audience. If this were satire, like Grosse Pointe or even Cybill, it might show her character as a bit self-absorbed. But since Bette is at most a loving spoof, the message, in "Bette's" words, is "I'm a goddess!" Even if you agree...

Not only does the art look like a Bluefly.com ad, the show is also winkingly laced with faux-product plugs (like "limited-edition Stussy surveillance shades"). Alas, ironic-style porn turns out to be as tiresome as the real thing. And as a genre, spy parody is about as happenin...

Rhodes geologist Carol Ekstrom will trace 2.7 billion years of geological history to show how that dramatic landscape was formed. Her husband, anthropologist Peter Ekstrom, will discuss the interplay between the environment and the culture of the folks who put down roots there. The Dubois area was once the largest railroad-tie-producing region in the U.S., and Burch Center director Sharon Kahin will take visitors to camps once inhabited by Bunyanesque Scandinavian immigrants who hand-hewed ties with razor-sharp precision. The area is also the home of the Mountain Shoshoni, and archaeologist Larry Loendorf will lead hikes...
