Gilbert & Sullivan: The Mikado / D'Oyly Carte Opera Company
 $9.79 
Sent to live with her grandparents in a quaint coastal Irish town, 10-year-old Fiona (Jeni Courtney) is fascinated by the village's rich folk culture--especially the local myths about a half-human, half-seal creature known as a selkie. Fiona becomes convinced that her supposedly deceased little brother is living with the selkies, and she travels to the beautiful, enchanted island of Roan Inish, where her grandparents once lived, to confirm her suspicions.
Based on the book SECRET OF RON MOR SKERRY by Rosalie K. Fry, the film is the first John Sayles picture shot outside the United States. Although the magical realism of the film may seem like a departure for Sayles, who is known for gritty slice-of-life dramas, he has covered fantastic elements before (BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET), and has dealt extensively with the theme of returning to one's roots (BABY IT'S YOU, RETURN OF THE SECAUCUS SEVEN, and PASSION FISH). The film will particularly appeal to children and adults who grew up listening to stories rather than watching them on television, and the special effects--including a magical transformation of a seal into a woman--are meant to replicate the imagination of a rural child ...

The Gateway trio first recorded for ECM back in 1975. At the time, drummer Jack DeJohnette and bassist Dave Holland were already an established force, and well on their way towards recognition as one of the greatest rhythm teams in the history of jazz. Their work with Miles Davis didn't make anyone forget Ron Carter and Tony Williams, but they created an innovative rhythm style that fit Davis' new approach like a glove. Guitarist John Abercrombie was in the process of synthesizing John McLaughlin, Jim Hall and Jimi Hendrix into a coherent style; and it was his ability to create unfettered melodic variations and rhythmic contrasts, without impeding the boisterous bass-drums dialogue, that made Gateway's music come alive. Twenty years later, Abercrombie is comfortable functioning as either pilot or navigator, and it's his seamless, intuitive brand of invention that makes HOMECOMING Gateway's most far-reaching recital.
Holland's title tune launches this recital with an idiomatic vamp and release, alternating between swing beats and backbeats as only Gateway can. Abercrombie crafts taut little phrases into long, swirling lines and canny rhythmic displacements, allowing the rhythm to surge and merge about him, culminating in distorted outbursts. All the while, Holland's muscular variations inspire his cohorts to respond with quasar-like blips and bleeps.
The remaining eight tunes draw from an equally varied range of improvisational stances. "Waltz New" is an elegant minor cotillion, while "Modern Times" takes a ten-beat cycle and makes it rock. "Calypso Falto" inspires good-natured give and take, even as "Short Cut" plies a traditional brush dance over shifting changes. "How's Never" proceeds from a menacing rock through supple chordal cycles, and "In Your Arms" follows with dreamy long tones and cymbal washes. The closing "7th D" affords the band an opportunity to morph and swing in a free-form manner, while DeJohnette's "Oneness" (with the drummer switching to piano) ...
