  1. They conduct classical, but they love pop and rock too

    Ever wonder what longhairs listen to when they let their hair down? Once upon a time, when conductors were regarded as remote intellectual titans, no one would have thought to ask. Marin Alsop, music director of the Baltimore Symphony, once described the archetypal image of a conductor as "this inaccessible person with an accent and an ascot."

  6. Review: Jewish songwriters set 'Broadway Musicals' singing on PBS

    "Broadway Musicals: A Jewish Legacy," which airs New Year's night on PBS (that's PBS SoCal, for local viewers) as part of its "Great Performances" series, shares again the great open secret that American culture is to a great extent Jewish culture. More particularly, it points out the strain of Hebraic melody and rhythm in what we think of as the most mainstream popular music: the Broadway show tune.

  8. Dave Brubeck dies at 91; jazz legend

    In the strait-laced Eisenhower 1950s, Dave Brubeck seemed, on one hand, deeply conventional. He didn't drink, smoke or take drugs. He favored expressions like "baloney!" and "you bet" over ruder alternatives. He had a prodigious work ethic that had been ground into him by his cowboy father on the family's California cattle ranch.

  12. A taste of Hungary's history in Budapest's sumptuous coffeehouses

    BUDAPEST, Hungary &mdash;American coffeehouses are prized for their quick service and fast Internet &mdash; ideal for people on the go.
