...tracks, most of which are Coltrane originals, are arranged by order of performance. The first cut, "India," immediately reveals the unique musical direction Coltrane was pursuing. The droning, buzzing sound of the oud, a Middle Eastern lute-type instrument, is the first sound to present itself, followed by Coltrane's and bass clarinetist Eric Dolphy's repetition of a hypnotic two-note motif. In the solo section, the performance assumes the format of much of the music on this collection-dense, angular horn soloing over essentially no chord changes.

Bibby wasn't the only reason why his team pleasantly surprised college basketball by beating three No. 1 seeds on its way to the championship. Indeed, Arizona's Wildcats had almost as many story lines as free throws in their win over Kentucky's Wildcats. There was vindication for Lute Olsen, the "Coach from Glad," who forever silenced his detractors. There was guard Jason Terry, who slept in his uniform the night before the final.

...weird place to be because in pop, women are always an endangered species. From Elvis to Eddie Vedder, modern pop has been a guy's game; the primal image is of a man and his guitar, the tortured satyr and his magic lute. And the women? They can scream in the audience or maybe sing backup. In childhood girls are no more encouraged to pick up a Les Paul Black Beauty than pilot an F-16. They are expected to play only one instrument: the voice...
