For some reason, the producer of Twenty One, Teo Macero (who produced all of the great Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk albums on Columbia) ,chose to have an incredibly bass-heavy mix, which, coupled with Williams's tooth-rattling cymbal crashes, threatens to drown out the subtleties of Allen's phrasing and unique harmonic conception.

After that celebrated turn of phrase, Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin--who has been seen, of late, pumping the flesh of men of less repute--refused to share a podium with Leibovitz. All this from an octogenarian clad in plaid, with tooth-white hair and a black yarmulke...
