In the mid-1990s, two major Hollywood studios, Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures, each launched their own broadcast television network with the hope of becoming the fifth major player in an industry long dominated by ABC, CBS, NBC, and, more recently, Fox. Despite the odds against them, the WB and UPN went on to alter the landscape of primetime television, only to then merge as the CW network in 2006—each a casualty of conflicting personalities, relentless competition, and a basic failure to anticipate the future of the entertainment business. Unfolding amid this backdrop of high-stakes business ventures, fanatical creative struggles, and corporate power plays, Season Finale traces the parallel stories of the WB and UPN from their prosperous beginnings to their precipitous demise. Following the big money, big egos, and big risks of network television, Susanne Daniels, a television executive with the WB for most of its life, and Cynthia Littleton, a longtime television reporter for Variety , expose the difficult reality of trying to launch not one but two traditional broadcast networks at the moment when cable television and the Internet were ending the dominance of network television. Through in-depth reportage and firsthand accounts, Daniels and Littleton expertly re-create the creative and business climate that gave birth to the WB and UPN, illustrating how the race to find suitable programming spawned a heated rivalry between the two but also created shows that became icons of American youth culture. Offering insider stories and never-before-published details about shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer , Dawson’s Creek , 7th Heaven , Gilmore Girls , Smallville , Felicity , Girlfriends , Everybody Hates Chris , and America’s Next Top Model , Daniels and Littleton provide an exhaustive account of the two creative teams that ushered these groundbreaking programs into

Tenor saxophonist Joel Frahm and keyboardist Bruce Katz pay instrumental tribute to the rhythm & blues tunes of pop icon Aretha Franklin in a manner that is removed from stock arrangements or rote interpretations. Frahm and Katz tend to change things up a bit on the majority of these well-chosen selections, which bear only a minimal resemblance to the powerful songs of Sister ‘Re. That Frahm’s modernistic personal style is sublimated, or that Katz doesn’t groove hard and strong, is not the issue. What is at hand makes this group stand alone as a unit dedicated to this music of their youth, leaving karaoke or copycat charts to much less-talented musicians, as they bring a different heartfelt aesthetic to these proceedings. Electric guitarist Chris Vitarello is a major factor adding new voicings, while Franklin’s electric bass guitarist Jerry Jemmott makes his funky presence felt on five of these selections. The always exemplary and talented Katz rotates on piano, Hammond B-3, and Wurlitzer, while a two-man horn section is added on three tracks. Of the obvious modifications, “Maybe I’m A Fool” is a sprightly waltz with Katz on piano in more an N.Y.C. street style, while the famous “Rock Steady” is much lighter on its feet than the original, and does not necessarily “get down” with dual bass, drums, and electric pianos. Completely off the charts, Vitarello’s slide guitar à la Duane Allman or Derek Trucks moves in secular-to-New Orleans-shuffle modes during “What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” Frahm’s influences cum King Curtis via Michael Brecker clearly come to the surface on the choogling shuffle “Love the One You’re With,” but the churchy organ of Katz spurs a light or loping funk and some clockwork rhythms for “Spirit in the Dark” where the tenor saxophonist adopts a spiritual stance akin to John Coltrane. A very slow, urban blues accented by Vitarello and the horns identifies “It Ain’t Fair,” similar to the Art Blakey/Bobby Timmons evergreen “Moanin’,” while back to New Orleans, the upbeat, funky pace of “Packing Up, Getting Ready to Go” might have been a better first number than the last selection. Unfortunately, the opener “The House That Jack Built” is the one track that really falls flat, a clearly simplified cover that belies the creative nature of these musicians. Overall this recording expresses a good time had by all, clearly a labor of love, and brings Franklin’s Detroit gospel to star power rhythm & blues music forward in a different light. While not likely to shake and quake booties or turn dance music into an intellectual thesis, Frahm and Katz achieve a balance somewhere in the middle that should be pleasing to many younger jazz and older non-jazz fans. ~ Michael G. Nastos, RoviPerformers: Bruce Katz – Hammond B3, Organ (Hammond), Piano, Wurlitzer;

Established fans of this scrappy Irish quartet may be startled by the band’s slight turn toward electronica on its fourth studio album, but there’s no need to fear: the focus is still on bittersweet melody and whimsical lyrics. Lines like “Bring your canary, bring your flame” and “I’d say life’s a different story when you’re facing certain death” and entire songs like the snotty, raunchy “One Stringed Harp” offer an interesting counterbalance to what are often delicately beautiful arrangements and tunes; on “The Great Defector” a slightly off-kilter verse slides into a startlingly simple and lovely hook in the chorus, all the while flirting with a ska beat. (It also features the couplet “You’re the chocolate at the end of my cornetto/I love the way your underwire bra sets off that X-ray machine.”) “Blow Ins” is subtly lounge-flavored until the gentle vocals come in and change the whole mood; “Breastfed,” oddly enough, is written in 7/4. If you’re looking for more cowbell, then try the relatively rockish “A Better Band,” and if you’re looking for less melody, try the weirdly tuneless “How Your Heart Is Wired.” Blue Lights on the Runway is one of those rare albums that you can pretend to like for its alt-credibility while secretly just enjoying it for the hooks. ~ Rick Anderson, RoviPerformers: Bruce Brackman – Brass; Leroy Jones – Brass; Craig Klein – Brass; Matt Perrine – Brass; Ciara Breen – Vocals; Clare Finglass – Vocals; David Geraghty – Vocals; Paul Noonan – Vocals; Timothy O’Donovan – Vocals

The Benoit/Freeman project is a reunion of sorts, as both smooth jazz icons worked on 1986’s landmark Rippingtons debut Moonlighting and together wrote Benoit’s hit “Every Step of the Way.” Since then, Freeman’s career with that band and Benoit’s as a solo artist spearheaded the smooth jazz movement while expanding the rules on just what modern jazz is. The new project combines the radio-friendly pleasures inherent in their separate endeavors with an exciting expansion and interplay of fresh and innovative ideas. Though the focus is clearly on the interplay between guitar and piano, the two are surrounded by all-star backing talent like Nathan East, Abe Laboriel, John Robinson, and former Rippingtons members Steve Reid and Tony Morales. Much attention was directed to Kenny Loggins’ wonderful vocal performance of “When She Believed in Me,” but the Phil Perry sung version of “After the Love Is Gone” is superfluous; it’s beautiful but adds nothing to the original Earth, Wind & Fire arrangement. Instrumental highlights include “Mediterranean Nights” (a seven-minute meditation featuring symphonic elements and Freeman’s rich electric guitar work), the percussive “Swept Away,” moody “The End of Our Season,” and a remake of “Mirage,” one of Moonlighting’s most beautiful tunes. The two seem to have been too busy for a follow-up, but smooth jazz could definitely benefit from another tandem brainstorm like this. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music GuidePerformers: Robert Becker – Viola; Larry Corbett – Cello; Stephen Erdody – Cello; Steve George – Vocals (Background); Jerry Hey – Flugelhorn, Trumpet; Suzie Katayama – Cello; Suzie Kattayama – Cello; Cynthia Morrow – Viola; James Ross – Viola; Daniel Smith – Cello; Anjani Thomas – Vocals (Background);

Essentially, LeAnn Rimes is a covers album, with one new song (”Big Deal”) tacked onto the end, which makes it a return to her roots — which, in turn, means that it’s sort of a salute to her main influence, Patsy Cline. Rimes tackles no less than five songs from Cline’s 12 Greatest Hits, plus “Lovesick Blues,” which Cline also recorded. It’s a tricky situation for a singer pegged as a Cline soundalike with her first hit single, “Blue.” If those comparisons bother Rimes, it’s impossible to tell from her performance, since she sings these six songs exactly like Cline does. As it turns out, imitation is a crutch Rimes uses quite often, since she mimics Janis Joplin on “Me and Bobby McGee” and pretty much uses Marty Robbins as a guide vocal on “Don’t Worry.” Since she has a good voice and these are, by and large, great songs, it’s hard to complain — given the best set of songs of her career, she delivers good, professional performances, stumbling only on “Me and Bobby McGee” with Joplin-like histrionics. So, LeAnn Rimes winds up being one of her better efforts, even if her vocals are fairly mannered and the arrangements are fairly predictable. But the most curious thing about this covers album is that Rimes turns in her best performance on the lone new track. She sounds loose, confident and exciting on “Big Deal,” and even more importantly, she never sounds like one of her idols — she sounds like herself. And since it comes at the end of the record, you can’t help but wish she’d recorded an album of new, pure country songs as good as “Big Deal” instead of a collection of covers, no matter how well she sang those covers. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music GuidePerformers: B.
