MOVIES ART MUSIC WINERIES COVER STORY BOOKS DANCE FESTIVALS THEATER

BY ADAM TESTATHE SOUTHERN

CARBONDALE — Handles Franklin has a populartelevision “gang” to thank for his introduction tobasketball.

The Harlem Globetrotters star found himselffascinated when a team of his athletic predecessorshelped Scooby, Shaggy, Fred, Velma and Daphne solve a ghostly mystery in a 1970s Hanna Barbaracartoon.

“I’ve wanted to be a Harlem Globetrotter since I wassix years old,” the 6-foot-1 guard said while visiting theBoys and Girls Club in Carbondale to promote theteam’s show Thursday, Jan. 13, at SIU Arena. “It’s beenmy lifelong dream.”

That fantasy became a reality about four years ago,when Franklin signed a contract to join the squad in itsperennial — and one-sided — war against theWashington Generals.

But Franklin didn’t have a ready-made career with theteam, which marks its 85th season this year. Much likethe Generals, he put up a continued fight, but luckilyfor him, his story has a happier ending.

Growing up on the basketball court, Franklin knew that education would also play a critical role inlife.

While playing sports through high school and college,he continued learning and eventually earned abachelor’s and a master’s degree in social work.

After college, his career on the court kept going, as heplayed in various professional leagues. Through thistime, he sent multiple tapes to the Globetrotters officebut failed to attract any significant attention. Then, in2001, he caught his big break.

“I began to make a name for myself and was signed byNike and became known as one of the best ball handlers

in the world,” he said.His skills earned him accolades off the

court, as well, as he and Nike won an ESPYaward for a commercial featuring Franklincreating musical beats with basketballs.

That video caught the attention ofGlobetrotters officials and earned him hisspot on the team. Now, he travels theworld competing against the Generalsand visiting schools, youth clubs andorganizations to promote strongcharacter building and the team’sshows.

Those personal connectionsdeveloped with youth andstudents help separate theworld of Globetrottingfrom playing on a trulycompetitive team.

“Your goal isalways to win incompetitivebasketball. To anextent, our goal still is to winnow, but it’s just as important to be a good role modelfor kids,” Franklin said.

“When people look at athletes, they often get anegative vibe. It’s important for us to show that athletesaren’t monolithic and can be good role models andinspirations, too.”

The Globetrotters aim to influence children and adults alike with their positive message,but through the years, their innovative tacticsand displays have also found a way into

professionalbasketball.

Elements of thegame such as the

three-man weave,the fast breakaway and

the “alley oop” slamdunk have

long been staples of the team’s repertoire.This season, they’re

introducing another new conceptthat Franklin said “could beinstrumental and change the gameof basketball forever.”

Players will now be shooting notonly two- and three-point shots,but also four-pointers.

The four-point line will be set up12 feet beyond the NBA’s regulation

three-point line and will add a newdimension to the game.

Handles said the team hopes to use itto further continue its winning streakover the rival Generals.

Despite all the on-court antics, theteam’s grand finale comes off thefloor.

“One of our biggest tricks isbringing families together,”Franklin said of the Globetrotters’ability to captivate fans of all agesand to cross generationalboundaries.

Get another chance to see The Band Perry at Show Me Center

The Band PerryWith Easton Corbin andBlake Shelton; show startsat 7:30 p.m. at the ShowMe Center in CapeGirardeau; tickets are $32 and $42.

The Band Perry started2010 with a whimperas debut single “Hip to

My Heart” stalled in themiddle of the charts. Alackluster first impressionfrom a Nashvillenewcomer is often a fatalmistake.

However, in Decemberthe band was the hottestcommodity in countrymusic as follow-up single“If I Die Young” soared tothe No. 1 position. Itseemed radio stationsplayed the tune every 30minutes and the video wasdisplayed nonstop onCMT and GAC.

Nowhere was the shift incareer momentum fromlukewarm to scalding hotmore evident than at thebox office at a localconcert venue.

The Band Perry wassupposed to play Nov. 20at The Clemens Fine ArtsCenter at West KentuckyCommunity and TechnicalCollege in Paducah.Although the facility seatsless than 500, only 25percent of the tickets hadbeen sold in advance.

Several weeks before theshow, the band was forcedto cancel the performancebecause of a heavyinternational touringschedule. When the eventwas rescheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday, tickets

sold out immediately.Local fans not lucky

enough to secure a ticketwill have a second chanceFeb. 5, when the bandteams with Easton Corbinto serve as opening acts forBlake Shelton at the ShowMe Center in CapeGirardeau. Tickets are $42and $32 and can bepurchased by calling 573-651-1000.

Kimberly Perry is leadsinger for The Band Perry.She says it doesn’t matterif it’s an intimate settinglike Paducah or a massive

stage in a giant arena likeCape Girardeau, the bandstrives to give the sametype performance.

“We give 100 percent ifthere is only one person inthe audience or athousand,” Perry saidduring a recent interview.“We have a good time andhope it rubs off on thecrowd.”

The spike in popularitydidn’t catch the band offguard. They have been onthe road together for 12years, preparing for theirshot at the fast-paced life

of stardom.“We decided to keep

putting one foot in front ofthe other and try to outlastthe process,” she said. “Wejust hang on for dear lifeand watch where the pathtakes you.”

Natives of Mobile, Ala.,The Band Perry iscomposed of 27-year oldlead singer Kimberly andher two brothers. ReidPerry is 21 and plays bassguitar. Neil Perry is 20 andplays drums, mandolinand accordion. Bothbrothers supply

background vocals,creating breathtakingthree-party harmony.

The siblings weresurrounded by all types ofmusic from an early age.

“Daddy rocked us tosleep with the RollingStones; Mama woke us upwith Loretta Lynn. So weget it honest,” Kimberlysaid. “I remember sittingout on our front porchsinging old Hank Williamsand Bobbie Gentry songsin three-part harmony,hoping to channel thespirits of old country

through musical séance,while fighting off thesouthern Alabamamosquitoes.”

Kimberly Perry sang inher own band as ateenager. She becameproficient on rhythmguitar and piano. Shemastered stage presence.Early on, her brothersworked as roadies for herband, but as their musicalskills developed, the planwas always to unite thefamily on stage.

The Band Perry wasformed in 1999 and playedcountless clubs, festivalsand fairs before beingdiscovered in 2008 by BobDoyle, manager of GarthBrooks. He arranged for ademo to be sent to ScottBorchetta, president of thenewly formed recordcompany, RepublicNashville.

Borchetta signed theband to a contract in 2009and debut single “Hip ToMy Heart” soon followed.Second single “If I DieYoung” was the actbreaker. Behind thestrength of the tune, theband was nominated forGroup of the Year by theCountry MusicAssociation last year andis nominated for a 2011Grammy Award for BestCountry Song.

The band’s latest single,“You Lie,” was releasedthis month.

After opening shows forAlan Jackson, Keith Urbanand Zac Brown last year,the band is opening showsfor Blake Shelton inJanuary and February andwill be part of TimMcGraw’s EmotionalTraffic Tour in the spring.

13 AWARD WINNING WINESCAFE WITH FULL MENU

FROM SALADS TO SANDWICHES


PopDiddy-Dirty Money “Last Train to

Paris”: Sean Combs is seldom onanyone’s favorite rapper list. That’s nothis strong suit. What he’s best at is big,expensive motion pictures of music —story line and soundtrack. This time, achance encounter turned into a lady-hunt and a meld of Ibiza techno, Berlinblip, U.K. grime, and good ol’ U.S.A.thump. That mix makes “Last Train toParis” run — that and songwriter/singers Dawn Richard and Kalenna.These two play prominent parts in therushing electro “Hello Good Morning”and sing background on other cuts.With Diddy, they make a sort of hip-hopHuman League. Diddy whispers hisusual eight-bar soliloquies and tries hishand at crooning (the ice-blue“Twisted”). Much of “Train’s” vibe,however, rests on the exquisite swirl ofsound and guest performances in theelectro-groove. A stunningly sweet“Angels” hosts old pal The NotoriousB.I.G., raised from the dead to pair withhis present-day doppelganger, RickRoss. Surprisingly for a Diddy LP, this“Train’s” on track.

Redman “Redman Presents ...Reggie” and GHOSTFACE KILLAH“Apollo Kids”: Years ago, Def Jam madeits name finding bankable stars (see LL,EMPD, DMX). Today, much is the same,but the label tries, at least on paper, toroot for the veterans. Big Boi and theRoots put out two of 2010’s best-received albums, and now, sneaking inat year’s end, come new releases bygolden-era stalwarts Redman and

Ghostface. Both records are aresistance to change. “Reggie” isRedman in his familiar zone, tossing offgoofy punch lines that are sometimeslame, but never lazy. And while producerErick Sermon is absent, old-schoolersKool Moe Dee and DJ Kool nabappearances. Things unravel only whenthe B-listers (Ready Roc et al.) show uptoo many times.

Ghostface doesn’t have that problem.“Apollo Kids” is heavy on guests, butsome of them (Game on “Drama,” BustaRhymes on “Superstar”) turn in theirbest verses in years here. WhereRedman goes for gloss, Ghostface is allgrit, rocking over dusty beats and joinedby longtime friends (GZA, Method Man,Raekwon). It might play more like arecord-club gift than an album, but it’sthis consistency that makes the newDef Jam feel old again.

Country/RootsJim Byrnes “Everywhere West”: In

the liner notes to his latest album, JimByrnes writes about how he soaked upthe blues while growing up in St. Louis— seeing the likes of Jimmy Reed andHowling Wolf, later playing with FurryLewis and Henry Townshend. The musicobviously inhabited him deeply — andvice versa. While Byrnes went on tobecome an actor of note, perhaps bestknown for his role as “Lifeguard” on thegreat ‘80s TV series Wiseguy, the raspy-voiced singer and guitarist also becamea superb roots musician.

Working again with producer andmulti-instrumentalist Steve Dawson,

Byrnes once more crafts an absorbingand highly entertaining personal visionout of topflight original songs andcovers that meld blues, country, gospel,and jazz. Sometimes, he and Dawsoncome up with inspired rearrangements— Robert Johnson’s “From Four TillLate,” for instance, gets a jaunty,Dixieland-ish makeover with banjo, slideguitar, and horns — and sometimesthey stick close to the originals, as onReed’s “Take Out Some Insurance onMe.” Overall, the results are comfortablyfamiliar yet thrillingly fresh. Quite atrick.

JazzIsaac Delgado “L-O-V-E”: The

eminent singer and pianist Nat KingCole made three records in Spanishfrom 1958 to 1962. On this CD, releasedin August, Cuban-born singer IsaacDelgado presents eight tunes from theoriginal Cole sides — Cole Espanol, AMis Amigos, and More Cole Espanol —and translates four more Cole classicsinto Spanish.

The result serves as a perfectantidote to the recent snowy weather inthese parts. Delgado, who made hisname with pianist Gonzalo Rubalcabaand the brash Cuban populist band NGLa Banda, is quite the velvet crooner.His jazz style is lightly worn and quitewarm. He performs two duets withCole’s younger brother, vocalist FreddyCole, while pianist John di Martinohandles the sleek arrangements.

This is serious cuddling music.— McClatchy-Tribune News

ClassicalNielsen “Symphonies Nos. 4 and 5”:

London Symphony Orchestra, ColinDavis conducting: How often does an80-something conductor discover a newsymphonic repertoire? Almost never,though Colin Davis, now 83, is beginninghis first cycle of Carl Nielsen symphonies,starting with the two best-known, inperformances that are significantadditions to the composer’sdiscography. The rambunctious, wildlyheterogenous “Symphony No. 4,”composed during World War I, has a rarecombination of strangeness and logic.Davis seems fascinated with thesingularity of Nielsen’s counterpoint butfinds a kind of transcendent inevitabilityin the way each episode grows out of the

last, no matter how impulsively themusic seems to go in every possibledirection. Though “No. 5,” written in1920-22, usually is portrayed assomething more controlled, Davis treatsit as every bit the war symphony as itspredecessor, a view of Nielsen throughthe lens of mid-period Shostakovich.These performances reveal the innerworkings of the orchestration in waysfew recordings do. Musicians sometimescomplain that Nielsen works them todeath with details the public neverhears. Well, we’re hearing them here.

PopBuddy Guy “Living Proof”: He’s still

got a few tricks up his sleeve, Buddy Guyboasts on “74 Years Young,” the lead

track on his new album. The blues titanthen goes on, not to showboat but toshow he can still deliver the goods.

“Living Proof” is a set of hard-hitting,no-frills blues built on a collection ofsongs that, save for the occasional tiredmetaphor, are more than sturdy. Guy,producer Tom Hambridge, and GaryNicholson had a hand in writing most ofthem. Guy, of course, fires off someblazing guitar solos, but two of the mostaffecting songs are ballads that find himcontemplating mortality — “Everybody’sGot to Go” and “Stay Around a LittleLonger.” The latter is a duet with B.B. Kingin which both declare, “I feel like I’ve got alot more to give.” This album is livingproof that Buddy Guy certainly does.

MOVIES ART MUSIC THINGS TO DO BOOKS

“The Green Hornet,”opening Jan.14. Thecharacter goes back to thegolden age of radio. Now,director Michel Gondry(“Eternal Sunshine of theSpotless Mind”) takes onwhat promises to be anunconventional superheroouting, starring SethRogen (who co-wrote) asthe dissolute son of aMurdoch-like mediamagnate (Tom Wilkinson).The latter’s death promptsparty boy Britt to hit thestreets with his souped-upset of wheels, the BlackBeauty, and clean up somecrime (Christoph Waltzplays the chief scum of theL.A. underworld) with hisally and fellowmasquerader, Kato (JayChou).

“The Illusionist,”opening in limited releaseJan. 14. An old script givennew life: Decades ago,French master Jacques Tatiwrote a fable about ayoung girl whosewanderings intersect withthe struggling career of atraveling magician. Neverfilmed during Tati’slifetime, it has become anenormously charming andplaintive animated featurefrom filmmaker SylvainChomet.

“Blue Valentine,”opening Jan. 14. RyanGosling and MichelleWilliams star in thisdrama of a house painterand a nurse and a wobblymarriage. Director DerekCianfrance shows us boththe present-day lives andthe early days, yearsearlier, of this couple. Thefilm originally was ratedNC-17 for a few seconds ofsexual activity; wisely, theMPAA re-rated it R.

“The Dilemma,”opening Jan.14. Suspectedinfidelity is the dilemma,and the comedy stars

Vince Vaughn, KevinJames, Jennifer Connellyand Winona Ryder.Directed by Ron Howard,this picture took someheat for its coming-attractions trailer, the onewith the “it’s so gay”wisecrack. Let’s hope thepicture is more interestingthan that controversy.

“The Way Back,”opening Jan. 21. DirectorPeter Weir has taken us tosome forbidding locales inhis career, but this story ofprisoners escaping from aStalinist Siberian gulag inthe early ’40s, and theirperilous trek to India,promises something new,as well as harsh. It’s basedon the Slawomir Rawiczmemoir and stars JimSturgess, Colin Farrell, EdHarris and, from “TheLovely Bones” and“Atonement,” SaoirseRonan.

“The Mechanic,”opening Jan. 28. A remakeof the Nixon-era CharlesBronson flick stars JasonStatham as the assassinbreaking in the new guy(Ben Foster). Expect somebleeding, and somescowling, and morebleeding.

“Frankie and Alice,”opening Feb. 4. HalleBerry stars in thismultiple-personality-disorder drama, and ifthat’s not the sort of rolethat showcases an Oscarwinner’s versatility,nothing is.

“Drive Angry 3D,”opening Feb. 25. “Shot in3D,” as the posters say, asopposed to “lamelyretrofitted inpostproduction the way‘Clash of the Titans’ and‘The Last Airbender’were,” this study invehicular homicide andsecond chances starsNicolas Cage as a felonreleased not from jail, butfrom hell, in order to“make things right” andsave his granddaughterfrom being murdered by acult. Hell, I’d bust outtahell for that.
