...Over the Class of 51's tenure on the basketball courts of the Indoor Athletic Center, the Crimson quintet struggled only to a 25-73 record. But as is typical of Harvard teams to this day, a single victory over one of the Killer P's--perennial Ivy powers Penn and Princeton--made Harvard's season...
From his early days in Miles Davis' quintet to his groundbreaking work with the rap trio A Tribe Called Quest, Ron Carter is the rare bassist who propels music as much with his ideas as his skills. On this, his first album-length experiment with Latin jazz, Carter realizes that others have come before him, so rather than beat the congas to a pulp, his expert quartet, featuring ace percussionist Steve Kroon, flirts with them. Latin classics like Besame Mucho and Corcovado are splendidly reworked into disciplined, mid-tempo jazz tunes, while samba-flavored Carter originals Loose Change...
...paraphrase the Supremes, where does the love go? After tabloidy squabbles, Spice Girls went from a quintet to a quartet and lost their audience; En Vogue shrank from a quartet to a trio and went out of style. It's tough for any group of divas to stay on top--they're often in 3-in. heels, after all--and just a few months ago, Destiny's Child, an R.-and-B. quartet that's now a trio, seemed to be tottering. But late last year, its single, Independent Women Part I, went to No. 1. And last week...
...latest American album will break the first-week sales record set in March by 'NSync's No Strings Attached, the Boys nevertheless reestablish their positions as heavyweights of pop with Black and Blue, unarguably the strongest boy band release of the year. Replete with standout tracks that reflect the quintet's maturation since Millennium, Black and Blue not only confirms the perennial hit-producing magic of Max Martin and Rami, the principal songwriter-producers behind the Boys, but also marks the fruits of Nick, Brian, A.J., Kevin and Howie's first steps into songwriting...
...Linkin Park's debut came with instructions, they might read something like this: 1. Argue with your mother. 2. Stomp off to your room. 3. Slam the door, crank up the stereo and sulk. Fitting this much angst into one album should be impossible, but this southern California quintet (vocalists Chester Bennington and Mike Shinoda, drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson and DJ Joseph Hahn) proves conventional wisdom wrong on track after track of an album destined for heavy rotation in the stereos of disaffected suburbanites everywhere...
