...were asked for headshots and r??sumés. I didn’t have a headshot, and I scrawled my own pathetic r??sumé: “Juggling—basic skills. Dancing—a little bit in high school (a big lie) and a lot in trashy clubs (a small lie). Singing—was in a choir once.” After a moment’s hesitation, I decided not to mention my double-jointed thumb...
...what an exceptional history it is. Haynes’ r??sumé, forged over nearly seven decades, is to die for. Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Pat Metheny and Chick Corea are among the many luminaries who have continually called on him to help them shine. Haynes credits a lifetime at the forefront of jazz to his natural feel for swing—his drumming was once described by Thelonious Monk as being like “an eight ball right in the side pocket.” His success must also be due to his constant evolution...

In setting “Tosca” in the middle of a totalitarian r??gime, LHO’s production suggests that the potential for chaos that lies at the outer rim of any agenda is the essence of freedom itself—that, whether in victory or tragedy, we live most fully where the plans of others fail. The stakes are high...
