Sweet Is the Melody $6.15 Will the ’60s counterculture adage to “Never trust anyone over 30″ become “Don’t trust anyone over 14″? Pop’s newfound fascination with the pre-driver’s-license-eligible set is underscored by this debut from the 12-year-old Nova Scotia singing sensation and the same-named PBS television special it inspired.

A Portrait of the Artist As a Young Man - $17.99 Producer/director Joseph Strick continues his long cinematic love affair with the works of Irish author James Joyce in Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Bosco Hogan plays Joyce’s alter-ego Stephen Daedelus, an irrepressible boy at eternal odds with the strictures of his Catholic home and family. As in his earlier adaptation of Joyce’s Ulysses, Strick manages to successfully convey the liquidity and ideology of Joyce’s challenging literary style. Also like Ulysses, however, the director is stronger with monologues than with visuals. Joseph Strick’s own son Terence plays the artist as an even younger man. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |

Easter Snow: Irish Traditional Flute Music $14.99 Seamus Tansey is a flutist from County Sligo who manages something that you’d think would be impossible: he plays in a strict traditional style, complete with the dark, woody tone favored by Irish players, and yet conveys such a sense of bright, sparkling lightness that it’s hard to listen to him without smiling. It had been many years since Tansey had made a recording, but he was cajoled back into the studio by producer Robin Morton, who also enlisted the help of Scottish fiddler John McCusker (heard here on keyboards and cittern), guitarist Tony McManus and the acclaimed harpist Alison Kinnaird. The result is a wonderful collection of traditional tunes, all played with authority and panache by Tansey and crew. Particular highlights include the title track, a slow air on which Tansey is accompanied by Kinnaird on the wire-strung harp, and “The Battering Ram,” a grim jig composed in memory of the instrument used by landlords to evict their starving tenants during the famine of 1847. There are flashier flutists in the world of trad Irish music, but Tansey plays with a class and concentration that set him apart from the rest. This one is worth seeking out. ~ Rick Anderson |

Alison Brown Quartet $10.99 Personnel: Alison Brown (banjo, guitar); John R. Burr (piano); Garry West (bass); Rick Reed (drums).Recorded at Jukebox and Reflections Studios, Nashville, Tennessee. Includes liner notes by Alison Brown.All songs written or co-written by Alison Brown.Alison Brown, believe it or not, is a five-string banjo player. The rest of her quartet is a standard jazz ensemble consisting of piano, bass, and drums, and you can be confident that there’s nary a bluegrass lick anywhere on this album. Like her compadre B?la Fleck (to whom she must be absolutely sick of being compared), Brown figured out some time ago that the banjo is a fully chromatic instrument with every bit as much melodic flexibility as a guitar, and that its clear, crisp tone is perfectly suited to jazz. It works especially well as a bebop instrument, which Brown demonstrates on this album’s opening track, the rollicking, Charlie Parker-ish “G Bop.” It also works pretty well as a cool jazz instrument, which Brown demonstrates on the album’s second track, the loping, Bill Evans-ish “Red Balloon.” This sort of stylistic variety is grist for Brown’s mill, but it doesn’t always work in her favor: “My Favorite Marsha” (one of several tracks on which she switches to guitar) is nice but borders on new acoustic sappiness — her guitar playing is good but not exceptional. However, “Without Anastasia” draws nicely on classical influences without sounding pedantic, and “Banjo Mambo (Revisited)” is a very fun Latin romp. ~ Rick Anderson |

Something to Live For: The Alison Gertz Story - $5.99 Something to Live For: The Alison Gertz Story was one of a myriad of early 1990s TV movies centering around the AIDS issue. Molly Ringwald stars as Alison Gertz, an upscale Manhattanite who thinks she knows her way around. Still, Alison conducts an “unprotected” one-night affair, which results in her contacting the AIDS virus. Despite her alleged smarts, Alison continues to seek out sexual partners and can’t understand why they’re reluctant to sleep with her, even though she belatedly offers to use contraceptives. Perhaps if it had been made five years earlier, and perhaps if it didn’t have its characters speaking fluent pop profundities, Something to Live For might have been one of the truly important made-for-TV AIDS sagas. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi |
