• Out of Touch? ; As the Grammys Present 'Music's Biggest Night,' Some Question Their Continued Relevance

In January, when Nine Inch Nails mastermind Trent Reznor was making the press rounds after winning a Golden Globe for his score to the film "The Social Network," the always mercurial industrial music pioneer grabbed the occasion to throw some dirt on the Grammys. The Grammys ...just kind of feel out of touch," Reznor told MTV. "It's not about integrity, or if [the music] is ahead of its time, or if it's taking chances. Aside from that niche of music that I have no interest in -- Black Eyed Peas territory, disposable pop stuff -- there's almost an incentive to go back to making music as adventurous and groundbreaking as you can, because nobody gets a big hit anymore.

• Friends Join Forces for Nonstop Night of Music

During his 40-plus years playing guitar locally, Eric Loy -- who performs three nights a week every week -- never had the opportunity to appear at Gilly's. He finally gets that chance when he opens for his friends Mike Brush (drums, vocals), Layne Loxley (keyboards, vocals), Jeanne Harman (flute, guitar, keyboards, vocals), Sam Lambrose (guitar, vocals) and Steve Weihunt (bass, synthesizer, vocals) of the Moody Blues tribute band Days of Future Passed at Gilly's on Friday. (Owner) Jerry (Gil-loti) contacted me out of the blue last year and wanted me to open for Alan Holdsworth, but I was already booked," Loy said.

• A Stormy Night of Music

I've seen the Nonet at past jazz festivals and am always struck by how much Nick Moran contributes to the group's stage presence Generally speaking, I find jazz performers to be less charismatic than their rock counterparts (yeah, all that improvisation demands technical attention, whereas the rockers can concentrate on being showy). But Moran is an exception. Standing by his upright bass, he exudes energy and looks like there's no place he'd rather be. Just before 8 o'clock, I headed down to the Wisconsin Union Theater for the evening's headlining event, the David Sánchez Quartet I noticed the absence of the old arcade lights across the hall from the Rathskeller. Maybe it was the beer, but I felt a wave of nostalgia for the campus area's past. The quartet was one of the most singular j...

• 'A Little Night Music' Falls Flat in Westchester

The musicals of Stephen Sondheim are not on the list of easy-to- do shows, thanks to the composer's tongue-tripping lyrics and complex compositions. Perhaps the most difficult of the entire Sondheim canon is "A Little Night Music," thanks to its operatic style and understated comedy, though community companies frequently stage revivals, including the current one by the Kentwood Players at the Westchester Playhouse.
