A controversial tale of friendship and tragedy during the Great Depression   They are an unlikely pair: George is "small and quick and dark of face"; Lennie, a man of tremendous size, has the mind of a young child. Yet they have formed a "family," clinging together in the face of loneliness and alienation. Laborers in California's dusty vegetable fields, they hustle work when they can, living a hand-to-mouth existence.

Jaws: Memories from Martha's Vineyard: A Definitive Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Greatest Suspense Thriller of All Time

The filming of the blockbuster film Jaws is regarded as a landmark event in both the history of motion pictures and the quaint New England island of Martha's Vineyard, where the geographic isolation necessitated the hiring of hundreds of locals to work as actors and laborers.

The works of African American composers such as Hale Smith are often mistakenly classified as jazz. However, classical aficionados will appreciate the complexity and grace of Hale's music. Its contemporary, urban sound makes it a natural descendent of the classical music of the past.Throughout his career, Hale was certainly involved in the jazz scene, collaborating with such luminaries as Eric Dolphy and Ahmad Jamal, and the influence they've had on his music is easily heard in pieces like "Variations a Due" for saxophone and cello. The smoky horn melodies would sound perfect on a film noir soundtrack or in a jazz club. "Innerflexions" turns a symphony orchestra into a big band par excellence. In addition to working with jazz greats, Hale is responsible for arranging spirituals for singers such as Kathleen Battle and Jessye Norman, and this talent for arrangement is part of what makes this album's music so memorable.

Personnel includes: William Hooker (drums); Roy Nathanson (saxophone); Andrea Parkins (accordion, keyboards); Jason Hwang (violin, electronics).Includes liner notes by William Hooker.As a distinctively original drummer, William Hooker has made an indelible mark on the New York music scene, playing with everyone from David S. Ware to Sonic Youth's Lee Ranaldo over the course of his long career. THE BLACK MASK, Hooker's first studio outing of the 21st century, finds him pushing the boundaries of modern jazz ever further. As Roy Nathanson's questing sax lines interact with Jason Hwang's cascading electronics and Hooker's own muscular drumming, one is reminded of the glory days of 1960s NYC free jazz a la Archie Shepp, Sunny Murray, et al.However, not only is ELEVATED no throwback to improv's past, it's a bold step into the future of experimental music. Alternately turbulent and contemplative, this is "jazz" only in the sense that it features traditional jazz instruments working in an extemporal mode. Ultimately, this is contemporary American music; full of fire but informed by a sense of structure that allows dramatic moments to build, stormy passages to ebb and flow, and tonal lyricism to pervade even the most frictional scenario.
