Lana and Lilly Wachowski's The Matrix (1999)—an inspiration for Norwegian pianist and composer Espen Berg's Maetrix—divides opinion. The movie is regarded by some, including one assumes Berg, as a prescient masterpiece addressing the existential threat posed to humanity by digital technology. Others say it is pretentious twaddle. No...

New and old converge on Water Music. Tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman showcases a quartet with longstanding partner Matthew Shipp on piano together with the fresh rhythm axis of bassist Mark Helias and drummer Tom Rainey. Although they have not played with Perelman before, they are not exactly Johnny-come-latelys. Both have achieved veteran status, not only individually, but also as a team, exemplified by Rainey having fuelled Helias' mighty Open Loose trio since its inception back in the late 1990s.

It was surely a matter of time before Aengus Hackett got around to a contemporary jazz trio recording. The Galway guitarist has been a regular on the Irish jazz scene since graduating from the Conservatory of Amsterdam where he studied with Jesse van Ruller. But like many of his contemporaries, jazz is only one facet of his music making. Whether doubling as an electronica producer, intertwining Irish and Turkish folk music with singer Sanem Kalfa, or embracing anything from gamelan to post-rock, Hackett is nothing if not diverse. With drummer Matthew Jacobson and double bassist Derek Whyte, Hackett leads the way on a program of all- originals of predominantly straight-ahead jazz, edged by more experimental forays.

Taras Kutsenko and Alex Sino presented the classical-to-jazz crossover album Domus Solis for your GRAMMY consideration. Music supports global communications and surpasses limitations, and few genres illustrate this better than classical music and jazz. Both have rich histories and specific characteristics, yet they share a profound ability to stimulate emotion and tell stories. The album Domus Solis written and produced by Taras Kutsenko and Alex Sino artistically bridges the traditions of joy in music history from Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” to Leontovich’s “Shchedryk” (also known as “Carol of the Bells”). It masterfully transitions from the structured elegance of classical music to the improvisational freedom of jazz. By arranging and recording these iconic pieces, Domus Solis brings their joyful spirit into a modern context, creating a unique and uplifting listening experience enhanced by sound designer Sasha Gusev.All musicians behind this album are virtuosos in their own right, each bringing a unique perspective to the fusion of classical and jazz.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B.
