...capital of ant farms. As you'd expect, listening to Woody Allen complain about "never being able to lift more than ten times his body weight" is funny, but in Antz, it is the panorama that steals the show.

With their mostly undistinguished arrangements backing the saxophonist as if he were a B-list crooner, the sessions have long been dismissed by jazzbos as being beneath his talents. But he himself was proud of them, and listeners today, accustomed to the burr-in-your...
