...most listeners probably would not think that Shaggy has anything to do with the '60s rock generation. His threads are too natty, his music too produced and his lyrics just too ridiculous to be associated with the raw, sensual guitars and edgy lyrics that characterized music of the late '60s and early '70s. Well, gentle listener, you are wrong. Yes, that is Shaggy doing a re-make of Janis Joplin's "Piece of My Heart" (actually, he has two versions on the CD--the regular radio mix and an "urban re-mix"). Shaggy has committed sacrilege by performing the song...
...musical equivalent of a five-part series in the New York Times on wage stagnation, proves groundless. Doc Cheatham & Nicholas Payton rescues its idiom from both the dead end of strict revivalism and the cornier precincts of Dixieland, reinvesting it with swing and individuality and reminding us why this sensual, pleasurable music was once called "hot."

...tights ending in bare feet, they began with their arms and bodies connected and for the duration of the piece they were never separated for more then a few seconds. The choreography moved from simple embraces to lifts and complicated intertwingings of the two bodies that at times was sensual and erotic. The energy between the two dancers, as they rolled, turned and twisted around one another, built as the music grew in intensity. At times, it seemed that the women was a mere toy, so light that the male dancer could easily manipulate her around his body and into...
Several of the minor players shine in their roles. Georgia Shao-Chi Lee '98 is consistently likable, sensual and amusing as Moon Beauty, the prostitute who takes in Hawk and Little Jade. Chan is quite good as the tortured, Byronic Wang Kuilong. Li, as Chief Yang, wavers between a delightfully arrogant rendition of the part (as he struts about unfolding and snapping shut a large gold fan) and a problematic tendency to stumble over his lines. And Patrick Wang, who plays several small parts--most notably Grandpa Guo, the New Park gardener who first finds Hawk and tells...
