...Trio 99[to]00 (Warner Bros.), due out Feb. 8, Metheny teams up with two of the hottest young guns on the New York City jazz scene, bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Bill Stewart, for a bare-bones blowing session recorded in two days flat. The songs range from no-nonsense blues like Metheny's own (Go) Git It to a feathery bossa nova romp through the harmonic obstacle course of John Coltrane's Giant Steps. The biggest surprise is the old-fashioned show tune A Lot of Livin' to Do, coolly reharmonized in the oblique, quizzical manner of Metheny...
Metheny's melodic side is also in evidence throughout his haunting score for the film version of Jane Hamilton's novel A Map of the World (Warner Bros.). Its spacious, Coplandesque lyricism is clearly the work of a composer who grew up on the prairie's edge (he comes from Lee's Summit, a suburb of Kansas City). "The geography of Missouri has had an incredibly strong aesthetic impact on me," he says. "You see everything from a distance. You look out and there's a tree, and 25 miles beyond it there's a pond.

...World Economic Forum in Switzerland Monday morning, Bill Gates and Steve Case, America's two most powerful technocrats, had the ears of the world's economic policy makers. While Case took the time - again - to sing the praises of his merger with Time Warner (parent company of Time Daily) and the synergies it will allow, Gates touted the virtues of the one-product company. Pressed on rumors of a Microsoft merger with media content firms such as Viacom, Gates said Microsoft will stick to software design. Industry analysts see the announcement as a preemptive strike against Microsoft's possible breakup...
...software markets. In any case, Microsoft's management style, a delicate balance between top-heavy control of product content and maverick innovation in the trenches, would be impossible to maintain in a conglomerate such as Viacom. So while the breadth of a firm such as AOL Time Warner, with holdings in varied markets, may seem more daunting than a group of nerdy guys from Washington State, Microsoft remains a force to be reckoned with...
