But the milestones were few and far between.

  7. 'Romeo and Juliet' ... and me

    It wasn't the words of Shakespeare that sprang to mind Monday night as I found myself sitting onstage at the $240-million Ren&eacute;e and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall in Costa Mesa, surrounded by members of the Pacific Symphony, my trusty clarinet in my lap, the score to Prokofiev's &quot;Romeo and Juliet" ballet music laid out before me and music director Carl St.Clair wielding his baton in front of us.

  10. Robert Glasper's 'Black Radio': Is all that jazz?

    Something curious has been happening on the music landscape lately. In the span of a few weeks, a jazz artist with a critically lauded new album has hit the late-night TV circuit with performances on the David Letterman and Jay Leno shows, debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard pop chart, and performed a packed-to-the-rafters showcase at Austin, Texas' annual rock 'n' roll smorgasbord, SXSW. And the strangest part? The musician's name isn't Esperanza Spalding.
