question:
What happens when the one and only Bill Murray recites American literature and flexes his pipes on songs from the great American songbook  backed by three accomplished classical musicians at a packed Orchestra Hall?
âNew Worlds:  Bill Murray   Jan Vogler and Friendsâ was the name of the show the famed Wilmette-raised actor and comedian  along with cellist Jan Vogler  violinist Mira Wang and pianist Vanessa Perez  brought to Symphony Center on Tuesday night as part of a national tour in support of their new Decca Gold album of the same name.
 Murray  sang a little  danced a little  cracked a couple of jokes. The inveterate Cubs fan traded his tuxedo jacket for a Cubs windbreaker at the end  prompting a roar from audience members  one of whom had draped a Wrigley victory flag over the side of the platform that was put up on stage to accommodate extra seats.
The tone shifted from light to serious and back again.  Murray  sometimes recited over musical accompaniment; sometimes  his  recitations stood on their own. One selection merged into the next in a seamless  two-hour flow of spoken word  song and instrumental music. Like all highly skilled actors   Murray  is a virtuoso of tone and timing.  His  typically laid-back manner fools no one  for thereâs always a finely honed theatrical sensibility and command of craft peeking through.
Who could resist James Fenimore Cooperâs evocation of a pristine early 19th-century American woodland (from âThe Deerslayerâ)  as recited with all due wonderment by  Murray  over a movement from a Schubert piano trio?
Or  Murray âs thoughtful rendition  half-sung  half-spoken  of âJeanie with the Light-Brown Hair â a nostalgic slice of early America I have never heard so poignantly done as here?  Murray  may not have classically trained vocal technique  but  his  baritone is pleasant and musical and absolutely true to the words and the deep emotions they convey  and that was all that mattered.
There was so much else to savor all evening long. You havenât heard âIt Ainât Necessarily Soâ until youâve heard  Murray âs sassy  jazzy transformation of that beloved Gershwin classic. Nor are you likely to forget the gutsy intensity of feeling he brought to Van Morrisonâs soul standard âWhen Will I Ever Learn to Live in God.â
After that number   Murray  flung long-stemmed roses to the fans  who were up on their feet  loudly cheering the hometown favorite. âThanks for coming â itâs nice to be home â he told them  as he  Vogler  Wang and Perez waved their goodbyes.
If this is what it takes to sell light classical music and renew interest in neglected classics of American literature to a mass concert public  maybe  Murray  and friends are on to something. Long may their team flourish.

question:
In an interview with NHK after polls closed   Abe  said  he  would push for an amendment.
“The ruling parties have been granted a majority ”  he  said. “I think it was the people’s voice telling us to make progress in politics and bring results with a stable political base.”
For a leader touting stability  the election had been a gamble.  Abe  had called the vote more than a year early  justifying it by saying that  he  needed a new mandate to deal with the threat posed by North Korea and to work through the details of a consumption-tax increase.
Many analysts said  Abe ’s motive was more opportunistic  however  with the prime minister taking advantage of the disarray of the Democratic Party  Japan’s main opposition party  and a small bump in  his  approval ratings after a number of scandals earlier this year.
The LDP has long dominated postwar Japanese politics. For many Japanese voters   Abe ’s leadership represents stability after years of short-lived governments before  he  returned to the prime minister’s office in 2012.
Some analysts suggest  however  that the weakness of the opposition may mask discontent with  Abe  and a lack of support for many of  his  policies. One exit poll cited by Kyodo showed 51 percent of voters saying they don’t trust  Abe   while 44.1 percent said they do.
Koichi Nakano  a professor of political science at Sophia University  said that the election exposed a lack of widespread support for  Abe ’s policies.  Abe  did not win “because people enthusiastically support  him  ” Nakano said. “People are disaffected and the opposition is divided.”
The bad weather may have also helped  Abe . The approaching Typhoon Lan left voters battling strong winds and heavy rain to make it to polling stations. On Monday  Kyodo estimated the final turnout at 53.69 percent  only marginally above a record low in the 2014 election.
Despite the rain  a number of voters could be found exiting a polling station in Tokyo’s cosmopolitan Roppongi neighborhood Sunday morning. Nobue Koizumi  a 67-year-old retired translator  said she had felt compelled to vote because of fears about  Abe ’s security policies.
“I don’t particularly support  Abe   but I do support” the LDP  said Hiroki Shinohara  a 54-year-old wholesaler at the Tsukiji fish market. “I feel it’s doing what’s right for Japan  and Japan needs it.”

Japan election: Shinzo Abe's coalition wins supermajority


question:
Reports of the film industryâs impending death have been greatly exaggerated. Itâd be more accurate to say the business is consolidating  with earnings for some major studios soaring in recent years and others taking big write-downs. Head and shoulders above everyone else is Disney  which reported profits of $2.5 billion in 2016 and made five of the 10 most successful films of the year (including the top three). The company  which owns Lucasfilm  Marvel Studios  and Pixar  already makes almost $1 billion more than its next biggest rival. That casts the news of its reported interest in acquiring  Fox  in an even more daunting light.
The deal Disney and  Fox  discussed  initially reported by CNBC  would sell âmost ofâ 21st Century Fox to the Walt Disney Company  though not the broadcast network or its sports programming (Disney already owns ABC and ESPN  making similar acquisitions moot and possibly illegal). This acquisition  which has apparently been discussed âon and offâ for weeks and is currently inactive according to The Wall Street Journal  would focus on  Fox âs film studio  smaller cable channels like FX and National Geographic  and international assets like Sky TV. It would  essentially  amount to a merger of the first and third biggest movie studios  resulting in a potential monopoly that my colleague Derek Thompson noted could be illegal.
Whatâs unsettling is that Disney is already focused on making films on the largest scale possible  leaving little room for the kinds of mid-budgeted dramas and comedies that used to thrive in Hollywood. If  Fox  were subsumed  that would leave Disney with only four major rivals: Warner Bros.  Paramount  Universal  and Sony  all of which also rely on revenue from other sources (mainly television) to make money.  Disney/Fox  would be a corporate monolith like no other  with an even larger stable of superheroes to throw around.
As the CNBC story describes   Fox  supposedly opened talks with Disney because of a âgrowing belief among its senior management that scale in media is of immediate importance and there is not a path to gain that scale in entertainment through acquisition.â Disney  it seems  is the only company with the âscaleâ that  Fox  has in mindâthe kind of limitless funds that can compete with expected future rivals like Amazon  Google  and Netflix. This line of thinking may seem a little strange coming from  Fox   the company that distributed the most successful film ever made (James Cameronâs Avatar  which has four sequels in production) and owns the rights to the X-Men franchise  which has been a solid earner for almost 20 years.
