THE RAM/THURSDAY, OCTOBER 3,1985/13 Jeffs in Court & Glenn's Close Bv- Sharp Suspensein Jagge Edge

Edge: Glenn Close as an attorney represents client Jeff Bridges in a murder trial.

by Lisa Martin The film opens as any good mystery should. It's a dark, stormy night inside a house at a secluded beach. As the spine- tingling music rises, so does the audience's pulse rate. A blood-curdling scream cuts through the darkness. This is the beginning of Jagged Edge, Richard Marquand's new film, dubbed a "psychological mystery-thriller." The story is about the murder trial of Jack Forrester (Jeff Bridges), who has been accused of savagely killing his wife, an heiress to a San Francisco newspaper. Although Forrester initially has trouble finding a lawyer to defend him, attractive Teddy Barnes (Glenn Close) soon comes to his rescue, She stopped practicing criminal law several years before and vowed never to go back, but Teddy agrees to take on For- rester's case. There is one condition, though. This prominent lawyer warns him sternly that she will only defend a truly inno- cent man. in these first few scenes, the action is to none. When Forrester declares that he is Glenn Close is a powerhouse. She is self- layers of the story are dramatically peeled fast-paced and often confusing as the camera "shattered" by his wife's death, one laughs assured, intelligent, and as Barnes, she has away to reveal a zinger of an ending.

The power of Sting's new band is not surprising, considering that its members in- clude some of today's premier American jazz musicians. Twenty-four year old Branford Marsalis (brother of Grammy winner Wyn- ton), plays the horns in a style that integrates traditional jazz with the pop/rock sound. Darryl Jones on bass also plays with Miles Davis, the legendary jazz musician. The other members of the band are just as talented and experienced. Omar Hakin on drums is a member of Weather Report and can be heard on David Bowie's hit single, "Let's Dance." Keyboardist Kenny Kirkland is Wynton Marsalis' pianist and has played with Chaka Khan and Crosby, Stills and Nash. Sting opened the show with a driving rendition of "Shadows in the Rain" an old Police song that was rerecorded on his new album. He continued for a total of two and a half hours, playing in "You Can't Say That," "The Children's Crusade," "Set Them Free," and "Moon Over Bourbon Street" as well as the rest of the cuts on the album. The only song excluded was "The Russians," a controversial song criticizing the existence of nuclear weapons. For the most part, Sting avoided playing recent Police megahits, concentrating mainly on the Turtles album. Some exceptions were an upbeat version of "Driven to Tears." and a dazzling ten minute performance of "One World (Not Three)." The concert Sights Steppin' Out & •withP.J. Lucus-
