SEE 'EM IN THE MOVIES: Honolulu Symphony Pops conductor Matt Catingub talked backstage with Dianne Reeves after her performance with the symphony Saturday. Catingub cut his hair for a role in George Clooney's upcoming movie "Good Night and Good Luck." Reeves is in the movie, too.

DESSERT, OR NOT?: Guy Merola, left, DeShannon Higa, Steve Jones and Mark Wong met backstage as musicians and symphony supporters enjoyed dessert at the "Backstage Pass" party before Reeves' performance. Jones, who'd been booked to play two songs with the symphony in the first half of the program, was able to stay and enjoy dessert, and Reeves' performance as well, but Higa had to rush off to Gordon Biersch for a late-night gig with his wife, Rocky Brown. Higa had played several strong solos while the symphony was backing Noel Okimoto's excellent set as Reeves' opening act. Reeves and her trio thrilled jazz fans with her performance as the headliner. Catingub got a big round of applause when he came out sporting his new short haircut -- the first time in more than 15 years he's been without his trademark flowing mane. He cut it at George Clooney's request so he'd have a 1950s look for Clooney's film.

DON'T CHA?: Tori Alamaze, in white bustier, celebrated backstage with concert promoters Gene Cardwell, left, and Darryl Hill, O Lounge owner Liz Watanabe, front, and dancers Michelle Ramos and Nefertiti Robinson. Alamaze had rocked the club with her hit, "Don't Cha," on Friday, proving as hot in person as she sounds on her hit. Hill credited Ramos with making the supporting choreography a success.
