In 1976, tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon made a triumphant return to the United States after spending 14 years living in Copenhagen. He quickly established a working quartet with George Cables on piano, Rufus Reid on bass, and Eddie Gladden on drums. Cables, who will turn 81 on November 14, believes being hired by Gordon was a pivotal point in his career. "Up until that time," he said, "I was spending a lot of time with the electric piano and with other keyboards -- clavinet, synthesizer, and the like. With Dexter, for me, it was rediscovering the piano."
Fittingly, The Mastermind receives its release in the wake of a headline-grabbing heist at the Louvre. The criminals responsible for that robbery employed methods that suggest they're not students of French heist movies. There was no ingenious plan to break in through the roof or via an adjoining building under cover of darkness; instead the thieves went to work with angle grinders in broad daylight. Kelly Reichardt's film is inspired by a similar 1972 incident in which thieves entered the Worcester Art Museum in Massachusetts during opening hours and walked out with four valuable paintings.

Frank Hanavan's Hoboken is wet. In his streetscapes, surfaces glisten. The sky is rarely glowering, but it does seem full; ready to have something to say, or wrapping up something that it is busy saying. The canopy of foliage that hangs over the streetcorners feels saturated with moisture. Even the shadows on the sidewalk are puddle blue. Businesses have their umbrellas open. A few people do, too.
