...through--and get through more easily with a rousing or sweet-souled tune. Griffith, 42, might be doomed to good humor, with her chipmunk-cute face and perky soprano. In her new CD, Blue Roses from the Moons, she aims for direct emotion and musical simplicity. The bass-heavy Wall of Sound from her 1994 Flyer has crumbled; this is a live-in-the-studio set with a country feel and, among the sidemen, songwriter Sonny Curtis and the three survivors from Buddy Holly's Crickets. The team is relaxed and enthusiastic; it's the aural equivalent of a good...
...Bellamy, who appeared in the 1993 Broadway musical Red Shoes. From the moment he received his alto sax to his final moments lying on the stage, his performance brilliantly portrayed the ups and downs of a musicians life.

The bass-heavy Wall of Sound from her 1994 'Flyer' has crumbled; this is a live-in-the-studio set with a country feel and, among the sidemen, songwriter Sonny Curtis and the three survivors from Buddy Holly?s Crickets. "The team is relaxed and enthusiastic; it?s the aural equivalent of a good mood," notes TIME's Richard Corliss. "It?s not that people aren?t sad, don?t get kicked around, never die. It?s that music can evaporate...
Also among those present were a small group of alumni from the first Harvard Jazz Band. According to bass player Mark Schuster '74, the jazz band at Harvard actually started as an unofficial organization four years before director Tom Everett was hired. The band at that time was called the 'Prescott Sodality,' (named for the street their rehearsal space was on), and it was led by a student, David Archibald '71. Soon after Everett was hired, the Sunday and Monday Jazz Bands were formed and they have continued to this...
