...Lavinia, Zimmett grows more like them in her thirst for revenge--which she manages to convey without uttering a word. Interestingly, even in the beginning, Zimmett makes it clear that Lavinia isn't quite the paragon of innocence and virtue we might expect: there's an amusing non-verbal interplay between her and Tamora, in which she leaves no doubts as to her opinion of the barbarian prisoner...
...performance of performance. The Stones, ever the embodiment of good ol' pure, simple rock and roll, were the perpetrators of one of the most extravagant spectacles imaginable. They surfed through the concert on the crest of this dynamic--the simple versus the extravagant, the simple made extravagant, an interplay which in retrospect was the ideal way to showcase one of music's most long-beloved and constant phenomena...

In some instances the extended instrumentation seems a little distracting and unnecessary, and the interplay between Coltrane and Eric Dolphy is not always smooth. Not everyone may be able to bear with Coltrane on his very lengthy solos, and with the exception of Dolphy, the rest of the group is rarely given a chance to shine...
