Guston's final phase was essential to painting's resurgence in the 21968s, but how he got there is much less familiar, even to die-hard fans: an extended transition from paintings piled with squirming colored shapes through ones that isolated black rocklike orbs on mostly gray grounds.

J.P. On "Layers of the City," his 12th album as a leader, Mr. Allison convenes what seems like a standard-enough jazz quintet — trumpet, keyboard, guitar and drums, plus his bass — but the music ranges widely: from swinging post-bop to cloudy, hypnotized peregrinations to rocklike fervor.

13, that "It is difficult to determine whether the name sprang from France, Germany, or Holland." James's father was impressed by his son's "rocklike" character on the rural plantation, giving him the nickname Peter, and he was known as Pete or Old Pete for the rest of his life.

After test screenings went badly MGM hired another director, Jack Sholder, to re-edit Hill's footage and do some re-shoots to try and save the film. Sholder deleted a lot of the scenes from Hill's version, including many scenes of character development, added the scene where James Spader's character is piloting the ship to safety after they jump into the supernova high-gravity field (originally auto-pilot saved the ship from the crash but Sholder wanted to give Spader's character something more to do), added some scenes with more focus on humor, changed the original voice of the ship's computer Sweetie and added a new one which had "more emotion", removed entire dialogue from another computer called George who was on Titan and who gave Nick some information about the mining colony, removed the original rocklike/electronic score by Burkhard Dallwitz, and added a new one by David C. Williams. After Sholder's cut was test screened and got a better reaction from a test audience, new executives took over MGM/UA: Alex Yemenidjian, and Chris McGurk. They were unhappy with the reaction that Supernova got from the test screening of Sholder's cut.
