Kidman steals the show in 'To Die For'

By Michael A> Posey | October 9, 1995

Starring in the black-comedy, "To Die For," Nicole Kidman shows that she no longer has to play Gilligan to husband Tom Cruise's Skipper in such past movies as "Far and Away" and "Days of Thunder." Going it out on her own in Gus Van Sant's newest flick, Kidman shines as Suzanne Stone, a perky and ambitious weather girl in a sleepy New Hampshire town, who will do "anything" to make it big. "To Die For," the perfect medium for the talents of the kewpie-eyed vixen of this summer's "Batman Forever," is Van Sant's much heralded thriller/farce.

Galper trio introduces Dartmouth to 're-bop'

By Aditya Dutt | September 27, 1995

When alto-saxophonist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie hit the jazz scene in the 1940s, few predicted that the course of jazz music would be changed forever. Be-bop, the music that Parker and Gillespie conceived, also had a few derivatives, including hard-bop and re-bop. The Hal Galper trio, a jazz group that will perform at Rollins Chapel tonight,is best known for its interpretations of standards and originals in the re-bop tradition.And though they maintain a relatively low profile, their music largely speaks for itself.It is a mix of the fare that be-boppers played and "cool-jazz," developed by the Miles Davis quintet in the 1950s but with a degree of lyrical improvisation that is absent in most jazz groups today. Comprising pianist Hal Galper, drummer Steve Ellington and acoustic bassist Jeff Johnson, the trio has a unique voice: subtle and quiet, but intense and energetic at the same time. Galper, a graduate of Boston's Berklee School of Music, is the most prominent voice in the trio's latest recording, "Re-Bop." His style, however, is hardly reminiscent of be-bop.
