Space Minds, New Worlds, Survival of America is probably not destined to change all that, but Jenkins' latest release offers solid, meaty examples of some of the frontiers at which more convention-oriented jazz musicians may find themselves in a couple of decades...

Coach Billy Cleary had warned it might take a little while before the first-year flub-ups ended and the freshmen settled down to play solid hockey; and it did--about ten minutes. By the time the four-goal third period came to a close, everybody but the sadly out-of-place Northeastern cheerleaders wore a breathless smile...
...significantly, Hanna Schygulla starred in all three. She is to Fassbinder what Giancarlo Gianini is to Lena Wertmuller: a charismatic presence who carries the entire film.

The film has already garnered prizes at this year's Berlin Film Festival to her for best actress, and to Fassbinder for best director. One waits...
Actually, "shale oil" is neither shale nor oil. The rock is marl, a variety of limestone laced with a solid fossil fuel called kerogen.
