...roots as a dance music and involves a long history of Dizzy Gillespie's blazing, sweat-soaked solos or Mongo Santamaria's pulsing congas. Just as jazz only truly manifests itself in front of an audience, its "cousin" (as Paquito d'Rivera dubs it), Latin music needs interplay with spectators. Especially when contrasted with the grainy, blurred handheld video footage that trails the musicians' everyday lives, crisp steadicam film underscores the fact that even though the musicians do deliver stellar performances, they appear slightly detached and removed from their collective element...
...interplay between the individual and society, between self-definition and collective identity, and between cultural standards and human norms has long intrigued social scientists and philosophers. Three new exhibits at Boston’s Institute of Contemporary Art (ICA) showcase artists’ attempts to make sense of the distinction between what is personal, what is cultural and what is universal...
...second exhibit, a collection of ink drawings by Marlene Dumas, a South African living in Amsterdam, explores the interplay between historical notions of feminine beauty, photography and art. The drawings—displayed checkerboard style in an almost dizzying array—mix traditional and contemporary figures of female beauty with androgynous faces based on photographs from a book depicting insanity. The line between the beautiful and the grotesque is blurred not only by androgyny, but also by the side-by-side placement of figures as disparate as round, curvaceous Ruben-esque women and today’s waifish models...
...role in creating the special music of the theater. "I work with my public to find the right note," he says. "I'm like someone who is tuning an instrument. If they help me, we arrive at the truth. If they don't, I get angry." Nor does his interplay with the public end with the final line of text. On a good night, a sweat-drenched Luchini will return after the curtain calls and launch into a so-called prolongation - an improvised monologue in which he extols Céline's genius, chides people for coughing during his performance...
...push Blake’s more cool and subdued solo into another, more frenzied direction. Blake’s resistance to percussive prodding created a palpably apparent tension, until Stewart resolved the matter, asserting his authority in the first of many explosive solos. Building up from a simple extended interplay between nothing but hi-hat and bass drum, Stewart frenetically tore into his kit, twisting spell-binding, gravity defying licks, occasionally straying into Latin inspired patterns that provided a pulsing cross-current to Murphy’s bass...
