On previously unheard 1979 recordings for Dutch radio, impulsive improvisations by the trumpeter-vocalist are expressed with his inimitable featherlight phrasing
1. Undine
Writer-director Christian Petzold s romantic drama reimagines the titular water nymph mythological figure as a historian (Paula Beer) living in modern day Berlin who develops a relationship with a diver (Franz Rogowski.) Reuniting Petzold with the two leads of his previous movie Transit, which boldly blended a World War II-era novel with the present day, Undine may not quite reach the level of that film or his haunting post-Holocaust noir Phoenix. Yet it s another inspired pairing of past and contemporary elements that have made Petzold among the most exciting filmmakers working today.

Samuel E. Wright, Voice Of Sebastian In Little Mermaid, Dies At 74
The actor’s daughter, Dee Kelly, told The Hollywood Reporter that Wright had battled prostate cancer for three years.
Actor Samuel E. Wright, who is best known for providing the voice of Sebastian the crab in the 1989 Disney animated classic “The Little Mermaid,” died on Monday at the age of 74.
The actor’s daughter, Dee Kelly, told The Hollywood Reporter that Wright had battled prostate cancer for three years.
“He was the brightest light,” she said.
Although the character of Sebastian gave Wright his pop-culture cachet, he had a long career on Broadway, where he starred in musicals like “Pippin,” “Jesus Christ Superstar” and “The Lion King,” and in Hollywood, where he was a character actor in TV shows like “All My Children” and “The Cosby Show,” and in films like “Bird,” Clint Eastwood’s Charlie Parker biopic.
