HOROSCOPES
ARIES Don’t think about
yourself. Focus on the others.
You always do best when you
get your ego out of the way.
You’ll know you’ve done this
when you look back and see
that a tough job was fun.
TAURUS Think you could work
in some quality time with
someone you love? This
doesn’t have to cost a dime,
and it could be your most
valuable investment. Meet
with associates another time.
GEMINI There’s no lack of
excitement in this interesting
day. Stick to your schedule as
much as you can. That’ll help
you make order out of chaos.
CANCER If you’re calm when
people all around you are
losing their heads, maybe you
know the right people. Or
maybe you’re the angel sent to
help them get through.
LEO You’re generally decisive,
which is one of the reasons
others lean on you. Keep the
overall objective in mind in
case it happens again.
VIRGO You’re right in the
epicenter of change, and it’s
good you’re there. Others
sometimes get nervous and
can’t see the forest for the
trees. Don’t do that.
LIBRA Are you getting
conflicting orders? Having
trouble making up your mind?
Maybe you should wait until
the dust clears before
choosing. •
SCORPIO Seems like every
problem that’s solved leads to
some new problem. That’s not
bad — it’s just how it is. It’s
also how you grow.
SAGITTARIUS Don’t take
anything or anyone for
granted. Don’t assume
conditions will be normal.
Chances are they won’t be.
CAPRICORN The way you
think it ought to be doesn’t
seem to quite match the way it
is. Keep pushing for what you
know will work. The others
will come around.
AQUARIUS The more fears you
face, the stronger you become.
You’re getting wiser, too, so
don’t let hard-earned income
slip through your fingers. Shop
carefully.
PISCES You may have
| wondered if you’d do well
| under a great deal of pressure.
Your wit and imagination are
j sharp. Use them to support
your friends, and all will go
well.

character, Benjamin Barry, is vy
ing for a lucrative advertising
contract. Pitted against his ad
vertising adversaries Spears and
Green, played by Michael
Michele and Shalom Harlow, he
makes a daring deal: If within 10
days he can win the affection of
any woman that Spears and
Green choose, he will be given
the contract.
Green knows of Anderson’s up
coming article and, thinking that
she will invariably dump him
within 10 days as required by as
signment, singles her out as
Barry’s prospective love interest.
He, of course, finds her particu
larly easy to enamor — she at
tempts to be as clingy as possible
— yet also finds himself falling for
her.
Hudson and McConaughey
have yet to establish themselves
as the new Ryan and Hanks, but
they regardless make a worthy ap
pearance in “How to Lose a Guy
in 10 Days.”
The film falls short of the ro
mantic-comedy hall of fame and is
not quite as charming as last
year’s “Sweet Home Alabama,”
but it sparks that requisite warm,
fuzzy feeling.
It is certainly not worth racing
out to the theater to see, but if you
happen to be struggling with what
to see while waiting in line, it is 2
hours shorter than “Gods and
Generals.”

McBride
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7
His finger-style technique and abil
ity to incorporate 16th notes with
out muddying his bass lines also
reference Pastorius’ style.
McBride is far, however, from
yet another Jaco rip-off artist. His
band, composed of drummer
Terreon Gully, keyboard player
Geoffrey Keezer and saxophonist
Ron Blake, creates a distinctive
sound on “Vertical Vision” that
breathes new ideas into modern
jazz.
The opening song, “Technicolor
Nightmare,” combines distorted
rock & roll lines with engaging
solo work by McBride on the up
right bass, and Blake on the tenor
saxophone. The rest of the songs
on the CD range froni slow and
ballad-like to the funky “Boogie
Woogie Waltz.”
When playing the bass,
Christian McBride, thankfully,
doesn’t slap the notes very often. In
an era during which most electric
bass players are busy smacking the
bejesus of their instruments, vainly
attempting to recreate the sound of
Vic Wooten, it’s refreshing to hear a
player like McBride grooving in a
different direction.
On “Vertical Vision,” McBride
also shows that he is a capable
bandleader. As well as being able
to write great songs, McBride
knows how to expand upon the in
strumental skills of his band
mates. Instead of creating a CD
shaped showcase that solely spot
lights his own abilities, McBride
has assembled a band for this al
bum that is able to effectively in
fuse tl* record with a rich, over
all sound. They can all play, and
it’s obvious from the first five min
utes of the album that the solo du
ties will be shared between
McBride and his fellow musicians.
McBride has played with the
jazz giants Pat Metheny and Chick
Corea in his career, as well as with
such popular musicians as Sting,
D’Angelo and Carly Simon.
McBride is also the bass player on
the George Duke album “Feel the
Music.”
After hearing McBride play
with so many other musicians, it’s
good to hear him doing something
of his own. Only 30 years old,
McBride likely has a lot more mu
sic and many more years as a com
poser and bandleader still left in
him. And if “Vertical Vision” is
any indication, he is destined to
strike a lasting chord.
