...Rockafeller Skank," before launching into "Lost in Space," their theme song from the 1999 movie of the same title. It wasn't the most auspicious of choices for an opener: just as that movie disappeared without receiving much of an audience, the manic energy of the lead singer dissipated among the less than 100 people who turned up. Poor publicity might have been to blame for the empty-looking floor: while they were on tour to promote their new album Getting High On Your Own Supply, word about the concert was rather last-minute. Finally, in the second song...
...didn't help that despite the extravaganza of stage decor, lead singer Mry Mary looked like he had decided to throw on a tatty T-shirt before coming on stage. It took the drum 'n' bass beats of the single "Heart Go Boom" to finally get the crowd going, and even then, the transition into a slower song killed the momentum. Another single, "Stop the Rock," came next, but the rock was already stopped: like a weak bomb, the crowd bounced slowly but never exploded.

"Sometimes there was no electricity, or the gas would be shut off," the singer recalls. "I remember standing with my mother in the line to get food stamps." She eventually won a scholarship to the Wooster School, a private school in Connecticut...
...roof-raising American classical singer and the veteran French composer and pianist rendezvous for a session of bittersweet jazz songs. Legrand selected the tunes (all his own, including Afterthoughts and The Summer Knows), and his piano persuasively conjures the smoky languor of a Left Bank nightclub. But the star of this show is Norman's brilliant voice, which cuts through the nocturnal mood like a shaft of light. Though you can't help wondering what the diva could do if she shrugged off the opera-house manners and let herself go a little more, there's no denying an instrument...
