...computer software ever had such a splashy introduction. Special lights on the Empire State Building, free newspapers in London and a party in Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, headquarters with Tonight Show host Jay Leno heralded the debut of Windows 95. And the hype apparently worked: the new software, which is easier to use than previous versions and offers access to the Internet with the click of a mouse, has been selling briskly. Not that Wall Street was impressed; by week's end Microsoft stock was down...
...records in the '70s, before she entered her teens. In the late '80s she began to get international attention as the lead singer for the arty Icelandic rock band the Sugarcubes (Thor was the guitarist).

Its 1991 debut album, Forever My Lady, contained three rapturous songs, including the title track; its 1993 follow-up, Diary of a Mad Band, also featured a trio of handsome soul numbers, including Cry for You. Its newest CD, however, offers not just a few potential hit singles but a whole album of appealing music. Its "concept" is to take listeners through a night or so with Jodeci--the parties, the flirtations with female fans and so on. The songs flow into one another as the night winds on. Melodic...
...Lamartine, which he topped off with a year of jazz studies at Boston's rigorous Berklee College of Music, Terrasson mixes a thorough knowledge of the jazz canon--from Cole Porter to Duke Ellington to Miles Davis--with a rich harmonic sense and a carefully reined iconoclasm. On his debut album, Jacky Terrasson (Blue Note), he squeezes fresh insight and nuance out of fossilized tunes like My Funny Valentine, Bye Bye Blackbird and Porter's I Love Paris by accelerating the tempos, throwing in breakneck stops and starts and reassembling the melodies as if shuffling a deck of cards...
