In this dazzling epic from Akira Kurosawa, a petty thief named Kagemusha (Tatsuya Nakadai) gets saved from a death sentence because he resembles the warlord Shingen Takeda (also Nakadai). The warlord has been fighting two other leaders for control of 16th-century Japan and impersonators often take his place during battles to put him out of harm's way. Because of Kagemusha's strong physical similarities to the warlord, he's a perfect choice for a "shadow warrior." However, the arrangement suddenly changes when Shingen gets fatally wounded while watching a battle. Adhering to Shingen's final wish, the warlord's men keep the death a secret, and Kagemusha struggles to transform himself from a criminal into a leader.
KAGEMUSHA marked a welcome return for the legendary director, who had not made a movie since 1974. Nakadai, a supporting player in earlier Kurosawa films, expertly portrays the leading role(s), almost always filled in the past by Toshirô Mifune. KAGEMUSHA also features the final screen appearance of longtime Kurosawa ...

On paper it seems as if such titanic and distinctive musical personalities as Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane might not mix very well, but this stellar set, recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1957, plays almost like a blissful extended duet between the two (with support from a sensitive yet hard-swinging bassist and drummer). The opener, "Monk's Mood," for example, features the composer/pianist's typically brilliant, idiosyncratic playing, while Coltrane floats over the top in the most lyrical of modes. Monk, in particular, is a master of tension-and-release tunefulness, creating rhythmic ...

THE SNOW QUEEN - THE STORY and the MUSIC(CD track number in parentheses)PROLOGUE: A long time ago, an evil magician created a magic mirror that reduced the goodness and magnified the bad of anyone who saw their reflection in it (1). But when the evil reflections inside the mirror broke out, the mirror itself shattered into millions of pieces which were blown about by the wind, landing in the eyes and hearts of the unsuspecting townsfolk. The Snow Queen, creator of winter wind and snow, was also greatly affected by this tragedy as tiny slivers of mirror lodged into her very soul. Dark times lay ahead.ACT ONE: Many years later... Christmas Eve day in the town square finds people in the holiday spirit but as the spell has endured through the years, something is amiss (2). Somehow, the spell has eluded Kai and Gerda who are very dear friends. Kai, one of the boys in town, gives his best friend Gerda, a rose (3). The Snow Queen appears stirring up snow and wind, and a sliver of mirror gets lodged into Kai's heart. Kai drives Gerda away in tears. The Snow Queen entices Kai away (4). When spring arrives, Gerda goes searching for Kai. On her journey, she gets swept up by a raging river (5), then meets an enchantress (6) who casts a spell as she combs Gerda's hair, combing her memory of Kai away. Summer passes in the enchantress' flower garden (7) but Gerda's memory of Kai returns when she meets the rose. She leaves the garden and comes upon a crow (8) who flies her to the castle (9). At the castle, the prince and princess perform a royal dance (10). Gerda asks them if they've seen Kai (11). To her dismay, they have not seen him but they shower her with gifts and a golden carriage to help her on her search (12). ACT TWO: As Gerda is riding through the forest (13), a band of Gypsies hide behind enchanted trees and ambush Gerda, stealing all her gifts (14). A little Gypsy girl steals her muff and wants to keep Gerda as a playmate. She befriends Gerda and Gerda tells of her search for Kai. After the Gypsy girl tells Gerda of her life, she tries to return the muff but Gerda won't accept it. Instead, the Gypsy girl gives Gerda a reindeer to help guide her on her journey (15). The reindeer guides Gerda to the edge of the Snow Queen's realm. It gets very cold and Gerda and the reindeer almost freeze to death (16). A guardian angel and her fellow angels come to Gerda's aid (17). The guardian angel says that all Gerda needs to fulfill her journey lies within herself. She points the way to the Snow Queen's Castle where Gerda finds Kai playing with blocks of ice (18). the Snow Queen told Kai that she would let him go free if he ever solved the mystery of the ice blocks. Gerda runs to Kai and embraces him but he is nearly frozen. Tears run down Gerda's face and onto Kai's chest, melting the lump of magic ice in his heart. Kai's own tears wash away the mirror fragment from his eye and he rejoices to see Gerda. The Snow Queen enters and tries to regain her hold on Kai but sees that Gerda's love is strong enough to overcome all that is ice and evil. Seeing that the mystery of the ice blocks has been solved, she sets both Kai and Gerda free. Kai and Gerda arrive at the palace on Christmas Day and retell the story of their adventures to the prince and princess (19). The story of the Snow Queen is so touching that the townsfolk begin to cry, their tears washing the mirror fragments from their eyes, and so freeing them of the long-standing spell. The prince and princess rejoice with a grand dance (20), followed by the palace acrobats (21). Kai and Gerda join the townfolk in the festivities as everybody celebrates the return of the wonder and joy of the holiday season!ABOUT THE COMPOSERRandall Michael Tobin (Randy) has been playing ...
