  1. Humor saves 'M. Butterfly' from geopolitical changes

    It's been two decades since David Henry Hwang's Tony-winning "M. Butterfly" first hit Broadway. Hwang based his drama on the true-life case in which a French diplomat passed state secrets to his Chinese lover, actually a man in drag, a fact that escaped the diplomat's notice over a 20-year affair.

  2. 'Hallelujah Junction: Composing an American Life' by John Adams

    JOHN ADAMS is the voice of America. His instrumental music, and particularly that for the orchestra, conveys the American experience broadly. He is generous in his interests, which include the maverick Yankee-isms of Charles Ives, the populist strains of Bernstein and Copland and the classical jazz of Ellington and Benny Goodman, as well as the more progressive styles of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Pop music -- be it the Beach Boys, Frank Zappa, electronica or grunge -- is on his radar. He has experimented with experimental music and championed Minimalism. Sibelius looms large.

  6. Frank Zappa's widow protects his legacy

    WHOEVER devised the slipknot contract clause "into perpetuity" hadn't conceived a Gail Zappa. She's made it her job to parse the music industry's dense legalese, close contractual loopholes and, most significantly, end what she sees as its iron grip on an artist's past, present and future.

  7. Capturing the curious

    Last January, a nondescript room on a floor above the Contemporary Museum in the Mount Vernon district suddenly got real "descript" as a new organization gave Baltimore's cultural life an unexpected shot in the arm, a shot with a welcome sting. It came in...

  8. Don't box Billy Bob Thornton in

    First came the drum set at age 9, then a sweet gig performing for the local parent-teacher association. He opened for Hank Williams Jr. with a cover band, worked as a roadie for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, put out four solo albums and took a skyward trajectory on the Americana charts with a recent group album.

  9. Incubus guitarist Mike Einziger's 'End. > vacuum' to premiere at UCLA's Royce Hall

    As the guitarist for hard-edged pop-rock band Incubus, Mike Einziger has headlined arenas and festivals around the world. But standing in a rehearsal room at Los Angeles Valley College in front of an assembly of trained musicians gearing up to perform his "End.>vacuum," an ambitious "Realization in Nine Movements" that will have its premiere today at UCLA's Royce Hall, he seems, well, nervous.

  10. Dweezil Zappa does papa proud

    Sentinel Music Critic
    With all the long, free-wheeling solos, it might be technically accurate to categorize Zappa Plays Zappa, guitarist Dweezil Zappa's tribute to his father's music, as a jam-band experience. It's more highly evolved, though, thanks to the genre-bending...

  12. Wilson's talent sings forth on 'Pacific' re-release

    Chicago Tribune reporter
    When Beach Boys fans think of the waning days of the original group, one of the painful memories is that of late drummer Dennis Wilson shambling drunkenly onstage during encores in the early '80s to croak out the Joe Cocker hit "You Are So Beautiful"...
