Жульен готовится вступить
во взрослую жизнь, но любящая мать зорко следит за тем, чтобы этого не
произошло. Она даже готова поиграть с сыном в футбол, только чтобы он не делал
этого с друзьями. С родной бабушкой внуку видеться тоже нежелательно – ведь
она может подарить ему уродливую рубашку или свитер не той расцветки. Папа
усиленно профессорствует в университете, сестра хоть и понимает больше других,
скоро уедет в колледж. Просвета никакого. На свою беду Жульен обзаводится
подружкой и даже бреется ради нее первый раз в жизни. Узнав, что бритву дала все
та же бабушка, мама ненадолго лишается дара речи. А когда выясняется, что сын
вместо тренировок бегает на свидания, ее ярость взмывает до небес. Сын робко
пытается бунтовать, но только распаляет материнскую страсть.

Always a friend of Brazilian music, going
back to his time spent in Brazil in the early '80s, Hendrik Meurkens returns
once again to the idiom in a live performance at Cecil's Jazz Club in West
Orange, New Jersey. There is only one obvious standard Brazilian tune here --
Jobim's "Triste" -- and one near-standard, Jo?o Donato's "A Ra" (better-known in
North America as "The Frog"), plus a convincing medium-tempo bossa nova
translation of a non-Brazilian standard, "I Can't Get Started." Meurkens
contributes two fleet, attractive choros of his own, "Mimosa" and "Menina Na
Janela" -- both of which have been performed on earlier Meurkens recordings --
as well as an aural picture of "Prague in March" and the contemplative "Bolero
para Paquito," in which Meurkens' harmonica comes closest in sound and manner to
his most-commonly cited reference point, Toots Thielemans. Whether on harmonica
or vibraphone, Meurkens flies as comfortably as ever over the various Brazilian
jazz grooves from drummer Adriano Santos, bassist Gustavo Amarante and pianist
Helio Alves, with Jed Levy brought in on tenor sax and flute to supplement
Meurkens' usual quartet. Nice! |

Even in the face of epochal success, it's
tempting to ponder what Barbra Streisand might have accomplished had she not
spread herself across so many diverse entertainment media; so much ambition, so
little time. This collection of 19 Streisand duets chronicles collaborations
with Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland at one end of the scale and Don Johnson at
the other. It finds the singer dabbling--if, as her bluesy miscue with Ray
Charles on "Crying Time" argues, not necessarily triumphing--in styles she
largely eschewed elsewhere in her career. Still, her unlikely collaborations
with Barry Gibb ("Guilty," "What Kind of Fool") and Donna Summer ("No More Tears
(Enough Is Enough") during the disco era scored her some of the biggest
successes of her career, ample proof that with the right chemistry, Streisand
could be as powerful a pop music chameleon as she was a diva. New recordings
with veteran Barry Manilow (the warm, low-key "I Won't Be the One to Let You
Go") and Josh Groban (David Foster's overwrought "All I Know of Love")
supplement recordings that stretch from the '60s kitsch-a-go-go of Harold
Arlen's "Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead" across five decades of Streisand's
unparalleled career. |
