A grumpy minder attempts to stop the photographer from taking a picture of Jewel arriving at Christchurch Airport.

Blonde Alaskan hurricane Jewel's arrival at Christchurch Airport was a whirlwind appearance.

The petite poet and performer barely stopped to sign a few autographs yesterday before being whisked away in a waiting van.

The star brushed aside a pre-arranged photo stop with The Press, and members of Jewel's entourage blocked access to the singer.

Jo Dodgson had her camera pushed aside when she tried to capture the moment her daughter Phillipa met Jewel.

The pair had been waiting for Jewel to sign a CD cover, and were excited about the star's arrival. Phillipa knew all the songs on both of Jewel's CDs -- Pieces of You and Spirit. "She didn't say anything but she smiled and wrote me some autographs," she said afterwards.

"I can't wait for the concert. Me and my friend are third row from the front and we're really getting excited now. Jewel is so pretty and such a fab singer," she said.

After her concert tonight at the Christchurch Town Hall Jewel will jet off to tour Asia, Europe, and America.

Febuary 25th, 1999 I found this article today:

Jewel writes songs of innocence By Steve Morse, Globe Staff, 11/15/98 It's a big leap from living in your van as a teenager to being the moral conscience of your generation. Yet that's the path being carved by the quietly ambitious, unashamedly idealistic Jewel; the Alaskan-born singer-songwriter whose debut album sold 8 million copies and made her an icon to wandering youth.

Jewel wrote that debut, ''Pieces of You,'' as a 19-year-old who had moved from Alaska to an itinerant life in San Diego. The album produced three huge hit singles: ''You Were Meant for Me,'' ''Who Will Save Your Soul,'' and ''Foolish Games.''

Now 24, Jewel returns Tuesday with ''Spirit,'' a softly understated, beguilingly beautiful folk record that blends an ecumenical spirituality with a timeless innocence that makes you wonder how the marketplace will react to it. Jewel's vulnerabilities are revealed, but so are her strengths and commitments to the love, grace, and peace ethic.

A focal track is ''Innocence Maintained,'' in which Jewel intones: ''We've made houses for hatred/It's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe/Be careful with each other ... for innocence can't be lost, it just needs to be maintained.''

In many hands, Jewel's moralizing might seem corny, but she invests this song and others with a stunning calm. As she told Billboard, ''I wanted to write a record that was an antidote to all the things that made me worry in the world, so that it's comforting somehow.''

She succeeded, for the new record goes right to the heart. ''We've compromised our pride and sacrificed our health/We have to demand more not of each other/But more from ourselves,'' she sings in the opening tune, 'Deep Water.''

Radio singles may be few and far between this time, though ''Hands'' is working its way up the charts with the life-affirming thought: ''In the end only kindness matters ... We are God's eyes, God's hands, God's mind.'' This may not make the album go ka-ching at the cash registers, but it earns respect.

This album is meant to be listened to as a whole. Gently flowing acoustic guitar, played by former Bostonian Jude Cole, (who also has a fine new solo disc out), anchors these fragile, painterly melodies. Other guests include Ednaswap bassist Paul Bushnell, Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea, Afro-Cuban percussionist Luis Conte, pedal steel guitarist Marty Rifkin, and drummer Brian Macleod.

Jewel herself only plays guitar on two tracks, preferring to concentrate on her voice. It has matured and deepened, yet is still capable of a magnificent falsetto on ''Enter from the East,'' an erotic, cello-limned tune where she sings, ''I must have you all to myself/Feel the full weight of your skin.'' A similarly light and airy eroticism turns up on ''Jupiter.''

While Jewel is searching for love, we soon learn it's a love both on the earthy and the spiritual planes. In the elegiac ''Barcelona,'' with Flea adding a subtle bass line, she sings, ''I'm afraid I am alone/Won't somebody please hold me, release me, show me the meaning of mercy.'' Later, in the same song, she asks, ''God, won't you please hold me, release me?''

Above all, these songs are unerringly pretty. Jewel even adds a protest song in ''Life Uncommon,'' and that, too, is sung so prettily that you won't want to rush the barricades after all. Rather, this album makes you want to sit back, contemplate life, and be glad that an artist as compelling as Jewel is willing to bare her soul, in spite of a possible backlash against such idealism.

Febuary 20th, 1999 Jewel Sued By Former Manager Singer/songwriter Jewel and her mother are being sued for $10 million by a former manager who claims she was wrongfully fired, according to Variety. Inga Vainshtein, who represented the now-platinum songstress when she was a homeless coffeehouse performer, filed suit Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court. She alleges that Jewel Kilcher's mother, Lenedra Carroll, was behind the firing. Jewel's Spirit debuted at #3 this week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, after selling 368,000 copies during its opening week of sales.

Ride with the Devil - Jewel's movie will be released in September after her US tour. For more information about the movie, go to the website. Ride with the Devil
