...McCaffery hit a three-pointer with 6:48 left in the half to stop the bleeding and jump-start Harvard’s own scoring run. The Crimson scored seven unanswered over the next two-and-a-half minutes, narrowing Princeton’s lead to 30-14. This sharp-shooting stretch helped Harvard recover to shoot 35 percent for the half. Freshman Emily Tay came off the bench to score 14 for the Crimson. Senior guard Laura Robinson added 10 points, while McCaffery and Hallion chipped in seven apiece. Harvard carried some of the energy from its first-half...
...with the Ensemble’s current instructor, Joh Camara, and I was amazed by his djembe playing. The djembe is kind of an hourglass-shaped drum; it has goatskin on the top, and there’s an iron ring on the rim. It has a really distinctive, sharp sound. I’d never seen djembe playing.

Three weeks later, after sleepingwalking through its final four games, the Quakers fell victim to a 22-2 first half run by Boston College but played the Eagles even...
...ranged from Blonde Redhead to Aesop Rock. Listeners, faced with such an influx of voices, were almost universally underwhelmed. This year’s record takes a step back: by distancing himself from the celebrity-studded meanderings of “Silence,” Herren returns to the sharp, intricate rhythm collages that made him famous. “Security Screenings” builds its songs on looped samples, delicately intermeshed beats, and electronic flourishes, dipping in and out of new modes with each bar. The result carries both the heft of hiphop and the prettiness of indie electronic...
