HORT CUTS gives sharp music. Annie Ross and the Low Note Quintet; Lori Singer and the Trout Quartet ~- Short Cuts, The Soundtrack Album, imago 1993 Robert Altman’s latest film Short Cuts is a frank look at the modern American impulsive bounce through life without ethical boundaries. This fascinating film — rejected by all major Hollywood studios (there's a major clue as to how on-the-money Altman is) — taps the same rubber-necking response " many of us have when we happen upon the public misfortune of athers. | ‘One of the central relationships in the film is that of a dissolute jazz-singing mother played by vo- calist Annie Ross and her tormented daughter, played by Lori Singer, a cello virtuoso. The boiling tension and bleak alienation between the two is _ played out musically throughout “the film, — ; ‘The soundtrack, produced by Ratios 2 Michael Becker RECORD REVIEW Hal Willner, oozes dark resigna- tion and unease. Annie Ross and the Low Note Quintet have some substantial ma- terial to work with. To Hell With Love (one of sev- eral tracks by Doc Pomus and Dr. John), Punishing Kiss (written by Elvis Costello and Cait O’ Riordan), and A Thousand Years (written for Annie's screen character by Gavin Friday and the Man Seezer) are depressing and outstanding. A revised version of a track in the film, Evil California (These Blues) has \ggy Pop singing duet with Ross — a fine debasement for sure. The jazz flow is cut with riveting charges from Singer's outstanding bow. Highlights by Lori Singer and the Trout Quartet include Berceuse from The Firebird Suite by Igor Stranvinsky and Cello Concerto in B Minar by Dvorak, City Councillor A voice for the community from the community Wednesday, November 17, 1993 - North Shore News ae CORRECTION NOTICE in our B1G-2 Bay Day Preview flyer, 30% off Jackets on page 2 should have read, "Our reg. 79.99 to $299.
