Despite Weber’s obsessive grooming and refining of materials, his tastes are strikingly multi-faceted. This diversity perhaps accounts for the film’s narrative style, which is free-form and free-associative to a head-spinning degree. Archival footage of outrageous singer-pianist Frances Faye will dissolve into a filmed sequence of desert explorer Sir Wilfred Thesinger, which will morph into a series of still shots from small-town parade, which will change into a picture of a young model wearing a turban and silk shawls. Characters and events tumble by, with nary a clear transition...
...Joel's latest CD is a collection of 10 pretty solo-piano miniatures with such earnest titles as Invention in C Minor and Fantasy (Film Noir).

...Eleven, 20, 25). Natural and inspired, tracks such as his cover of Fats Domino’s “I’m Walkin’”display Connick’s smooth vocalizing backed solely by his own adroit self-accompaniment. As usual, the singer-pianist invites several guests to perform with him, and 30 is no exception; one of the album’s highlights is trumpeter Wynton Marsalis’ tasty solo and obligato on “I’ll Only Miss Her (When I Think of Her”).
