Pianist Dave McKenna: The Fresh Air Concert

Rock critic Ken Tucker says that sales of movie soundtracks have become inextricably tied to the films they come from. He takes a look at three recent CDs featuring songs from Twins, Beaches, and I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

Terry Gross interviews Fresh Air jazz critic Kevin Whitehead. He's worked as a rock and restaurant critic. He believes he distinguishes himself by actively featuring artists outside the insular New York jazz scene. Whitehead is also a former seminarian, and a bassist who plays free improvised music.

Film critic Stephen Schiff says that movies about the corporate world all seem to follow the same formula: an executive's failure coincides with a subordinate's rise. He says Working Girl, starring Melanie Griffith and Sigourney Weaver, is no different.
