Like Evans, Mehldau prefers the trio format, performing last week at Scullers with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy. A so-called piano intellectual, Mehldau lived up to his reputation, often quoting Bach-not only Johannes Sebastian, but Carl Philip Emanuel, whose "Solfeggio in C minor" was heard in skeletal form during one improvisation...
...Hindu dance to old-school breakdancing, but it never felt like a simple variety show. There seemed to be an understanding that this was no random display of talent. This is part of what we are, this is what we do, all seemed to say, from "hardcore jazz" trio Triple Threat (Jon Natchez '99, Adam Schneit '98 and Ben Herson) to dazzling drag queen MsBegotten (Sasha Badian...
...familiar luscious sound of Sarah Cracknell's voice fills my headphones as I turn on the new St. Etienne album, The Sound of Water. The British pop trio with the un-British sound has been together for more than a decade now, and it seems like they get better with every album.

Roswellians sent the WB thousands of bottles of Tabasco sauce, a favorite condiment of the aliens. (WB flacks reshipped bottles to TV critics nationwide.) Felicityphiles have sent in cassettes like the ones Felicity mails to her friend Sally--and, creepily, locks of their own hair--and crashed WB servers with e-mail. Meanwhile, Freaks freaks are sending peanuts to networks that may buy the show (a favorite character on the show...
