Keith Jarrett specializes in surprises. His youthful stints with the bands of Miles Davis and Charles Lloyd put him at ground zero of the jazz-rock fusion movement. Then, in the 1970s, he unplugged his keyboards and started giving the totally improvised, all-acoustic solo concerts that established him as the most individual (and successful) jazz pianist of his generation. The '80s saw him recording arrestingly fresh versions of pop ballads with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette--as well as Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier on piano and harpsichord...
...flygirls are not an entirely new creation: the original script by Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice calls for a small group of singer-dancers called "Soul Girls" to appear ever so often in the show. However, it was James A. Carmichael '01, the choreographer for this production of Jesus Christ Superstar, who really gave the "Soul Girls" some soul: he added a dash of 'tude, a handful of sexy moves, and really transformed them into the hot-n-spicy, no-holds-barred flygirls they are today.

...Jesus Christ seems to require some degree of egotism (these are the same people who say "Hey, Jesus!" to Fowler when they see him around campus). The fact of the matter is that the Jesus of Jesus Christ Superstar is no walk-on-water, parable-loving "other." In Sir Lloyd Weber's version of the Passion, Jesus is a man--not da man, not the Son of Man, just a normal man who is fighting against his own Superstardom to get a very simple message across...
...broadway and musical comedy were all but synonymous. Of late, though, the Great White Way has become a neon-lit recycling bin for tributes (Fosse), revivals (Annie Get Your Gun, Cabaret), retread movies (Footloose) and British imports that were creatively dead on arrival (any Andrew Lloyd Webber show). Yes, Stephen Sondheim still strikes sparks, while a few up-and-comers, especially Adam Guettel (Floyd Collins), show signs of vibrant life. But it's long past time for something really fresh. Contact, the exhilarating dance play by choreographer Susan Stroman and writer John Weidman that opened last week at Manhattan...
