...There has been nothing like it in jazz, before or since," says Gunther Schuller, the multifaceted composer, conductor and musicologist who edited the score, which was discovered among Mingus' papers after his death. Schuller directed a proper world premiere of the work at New York City's Lincoln Center last year. (CBS has issued a recording of the performance.) He was at the podium last week for another Manhattan performance, which was to be reprised a few days later at Tanglewood and at the Chicago jazz festival. Sue Mingus, the composer's widow and flame keeper, is trying to schedule...
...Detroit rising oil prices could worsen the skid that the U.S. auto industry has suffered since the start of the year. The price increases threaten sales of profitable but fuel-thirsty vans, pickup trucks and full- size cars, including the Chevrolet Caprice and the Lincoln Town Car. That would mean further woes for General Motors, Ford and Chrysler, which temporarily shuttered 45 of their 62 U.S. and Canadian plants and fired or laid off 38,000 workers during the first half of the year...

Nonetheless, he gave a rationale for accepting a boost: new revenues, said Bush, are a necessary part of any compromise package to cut the budget deficit, and a lower deficit in turn is essential to bring...
...waiting in bread lines wearing RAISA NYET buttons on their nondesigner lapels. Instead of the three wardrobe changes a day of her 1987 visit, Gorbachev adopted a dare-to- be-frumpy look for her round of appearances at the Library of Congress, the Capital Children's Museum and the Lincoln bedroom. Although she could not resist adding glitter to Thursday's embassy lunch with such celebrities as Jane Fonda and Dizzy Gillespie -- so famous for being famous they need no parenthetical explanation even in Moscow -- she had the political sense to leave her gold American Express card at home...
