JAMES MONTGOMERY BAND-- James Montgomery spent a long time spreading his blues around Cambridge before his Band, formerly his Blues Band, signed a recording contract with Atlantic. Two years ago, in a virtuoso display of harp playing, talking blues, and group discipline, the ensemble upstaged an ailing Bonnie Raitt in one of Sanders Theater's more rollicking concerts. Assuming his harp is still in tune, Montgomery can be expected to lead his band to a successful return to Cambridge this week at The Performance Center. They are playing with the Chris Rhodes Band, a local favorite...
...fairly smoothed-out version of his old-style folk-blues voice, Dylan sang forcefully, sometimes threateningly.

The calotype image has a soft, fuzzy, dreamy quality--a gentleness that interacts with the figure of the old, blind preacher playing his harp. In every photograph on exhibit--from a mystical photogravure protrait of Yeats to a study of shadows in gum-biochromate by Edward Steichen--the artist/photographer has deliberately chosen a technique that combines with and supports the visual effect he tries to achieve. This exquisite co-ordination of method and result...
