Jazz great to perform at Lied rnaio counesy ot grp Records Jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval will perform at the Lied Center tonight. From Staff Reports Arturo Sandoval, the celebrated jazz trumpeter of the “Mambo Kings” and “Havana” movie soundtracks, will play tonight at the Lied Center. Originally a classical musician, he studied under the innovative Dizzy Gillespie, combining the Latin sound with his mentor’s masterful style of jazz. Soon, he began playing around the world and joined the international ranks of superior trumpeters like Maurice Audre and Adolph Hereseth. Sandoval defected from Cuba in 1990, and began performing in the United States. He now serves as a full professor at Florida International Uni versity. In 1992, he joined the Dizzy Gillespie United Nation Orchestra. Sandoval pulls from a grab bag of styles, easily moving from Afro-Cu ban jazz to classical music in the same song. His 1994 album “Danzon” won a Grammy for Best Latin Jazz Album. Tonight’s concert will begin at 8. Ticket prices range from $22 to $14, and are half-price for students from UNL, Wesleyan and Doane. Two pre-performance talks will be given by David E. Sharp, director of jazz studies at UNL’s School of Mu sic, at 55 minutes and 30 minutes before curtain. Film depicts end of German era By Fred Poyner Rim Critic ~ “In the German language, there are more terms for the word deceit than any other lan guage, and most of these have a ring of triumph.” SosaysJean-Luc Godard as he blends bits of exis tential commen tary into a dispas sionate view of a ii vided Germany at the end of its com nunist rope. Never mind “Alphaville,” the 1965 novie to which this was the supposed :equel. “Germany” portrays the end of he Cold War, the fate of European listory in the shadow of the swastika, and the death of a separatist West. The figure of Lemmy Caution (Eddie Constantine) is the key meta phor within a series of metaphors. As the Last Spy, his trek across the land scape of Europe at times begs the ques tion of whether Godard thinks history in general, and Germany in particular, is evolving or devolving. Followingthis thought, one charac ter comments, “History is the process of man’s goals—he is both the cause and the effect.” Text switches from German to French and back again to combine with snapshots of present-day Ger many and a Germany long gone. In retrospect we are left to explore the relationship between the myth of the individual and the will of the state. Godard at times defies all explana tion, which is exactly the attitude he works to incorporate into his films.

The process utilizes a new system Icnown as Instant Audio. Smallens said lie expected the Instant Audio to be used much more extensively in the future. A quick glance through the web reveals that Natalie Merchant’s next single, “Wonderfulalso will contain the video for the song for both Macintosh and IBM, for those users who have CD-ROMs. No mention of price is included. Several industry people agree this is definitely the way to go. “Some of these videos never get seen more than once,” said Mark Waldrep, president of ADC Entertain ment. “It’s not hard just to throw the video on there. My company can put together a full presentation on the empty space of an album within two weeks for about $25,000, at no addi tional cost to the consumer.” ' Jimmy Dixon, director of New Media for Reprise, agreed. “It just seems like a good idea to get these videos out for people to see them,” Dixon said. “So why not use all that extra space on CD singles? It’s not like it’s getting any use now.” Smallens also sees Enhanced CDs interfacing with the Internet in the future. Eventually, Enhanced CDs will be able to get updates from the Internet for things such as tour itineraries or diaries, Smallens said. Other possibilities include video being broadcast over the Internet, pos sibly even to the point of holding an on-line concert. Apple and Reprise also havejoined forces to give each company a little edge. “Apple gives us technological le verage, and we give them street cred ibility,” Dixon said. Artists like Filter, who write al most all of their music on Macintosh computers, might be perfect spokes men for Apple musical programs. Reprise’s Enhanced CDs will use Apple’s Media Tool instead of the Macromedia Director, which is what most people now use. Almost every company represen tative said plans to do more Enhanced CDs, as we]l as interaction with their web pages, were in the works. An entire conference is being held in March on the CD Extra/Enhanced CD format. The conference will be an attempt to set down some general guidelines for what Waldrep describe as “uncharted territory.” But for some in the industry, the future is too unpredictable to even discuss. “I don’t like talking about the fu ture,” Smallens said. “There’s just so much happening.” Seuss Continued from Page 12 over the place.” Harler-Smith said although it was a difficult piece, she enjoyed the chal lenge. “Everyone knows the text,” she said, “but the composer set the entire text to music, and he repeats things not necessarily in the text. “It took forever to memorize.” The variety of music within the work also presented a challenge, Harler-Smith said. “There are different styles of mu sic in the piece, such as blues, Ameri can ppp and opera,” she said, “and you have to use your voice in a lot of different ways.” The work with the piece thus far has been nothing but positive, he said. “It’s been great,” he said. Harler-Smith said she was equally pleased with the performances, but said she was a little edgy during the performances at the Rogers House Bed and Breakfast Inn, 2145 B St. “It was a really small, intimate place for this piece,” she said. “We were right on top of the audience, about a foot away. “I have a pretty loud voice, and I was afraid I would scare people.” Sunday's performance begins at 3 p.m. Admission is free. ..About fcabetes CaHvtm. 1-800-DIABETES Jazz festival begins By Cherie Krueger Staff Reporter ~ ' The 1996 Nebraska Jazz Festival is under way and in full swing.
