I'm Glad

 
Album Review: I'm Glad

Review

Tom Pletcher, whose cornet style is purposely closely modeled on Bix Beiderbecke's, sits in with the Classic Jazzband, a sextet from Sweden that consists of cornetist Bent Persson (who often sounds like Louis Armstrong circa 1927), Goran Eriksson on alto and clarinet, trombonist Jens Lindgren, banjoist-guitarist-leader Holger Gross, bassist Goran Lind, and drummer Christer Ekhe. Also added to the group is pianist Ulf Johansson Werre and bass saxophonist Frans Sjostrom. Unfortunately, Persson only takes solos on three numbers, and a tradeoff by "Bix" and "Satch" never takes place. But Pletcher is in excellent form and well featured on such numbers as Frankie Trumbauer's "I'm Glad," "Skylark," "My Melancholy Baby," "Riverboat Shuffle," and even "Goody Goody." Easily recommended to fans of 1920s-style classic jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

"I'm Glad" is the third single from Jennifer Lopez's third studio album, This Is Me... Then (2002). Released in 2003, it did not follow the success of her previous two singles, peaking at number thirty-two on the Billboard Hot 100, though its remixes by Paul Oakenfold, Ford, and Murk became club hits in the United States, propelling the song to number four on the Hot Dance Club Play. The song samples Schoolly D's 1986 song "P.S.K. What Does It Mean?".

Music video

The music video was directed by David LaChapelle. The choreography by Jeffrey Hornaday was adapted from his work for the 1983 film Flashdance starring Jennifer Beals, whose character, Alexandra Owens, is also a construction worker by day and an exotic dancer at night. Lopez wore an outfit similar to that Beals wore in the actual film and she also stated that this was one of her most complicated videos and that a lot of effort was put in it. The video received four nominations at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards: Best Female Video, Best Dance Video, Best Choreography, and Best Art Direction.

The recreation of scenes from Flashdance led Maureen Marder—whose life was the inspiration for the storyline of the film—to sue Lopez, Sony Corporation, and Paramount Pictures for copyright infringement in November 2003, claiming the video was an unauthorized depiction of her life story.[1] The lawsuit was dismissed in June 2006.[2]
