Council members: build on the U.C.'s core strengths. Trumpet the council's small, less glorious competencies--like airport shuttle bus services, concentration fairs and consensual statements on noncontroversial issues such as cuts in student funding--as indicative of its ability to represent the concrete and substantive issues that concern students, no matter how small they might seem at first. Buttress these strengths by consciously taking measures to mend the atrocious reputation of the council: Start campaigns to increase voter turnout for council elections, continue to increase student involvement in local politics with voter registration drives, educate students...
...What I Can (with What I Got), a torchy tune about the advantages and imperatives of being a knockout babe. Johnson's rendition, in the Larry Grossman musical Paper Moon, is a KO as well; she coos, she beguiles, she does everything but bump it with a trumpet. It's the sort of turn to persuade even a show-biz skeptic that, yes, the Broadway musical is alive and well...

Marsalis ended the tune by leading the trumpet section offstage followed by trombones and saxes in a second-line march. A five-minute standing ovation brought Marsalis back with pianist Eric Reed for a rendition of Marsalis's best composition of the evening, the ballad "Spanish Yaounde." Another five minutes brought the entire band back for "Across the Track Blues" to close the night...
...despite the fact that it took nearly an entire set for their talents to emerge. One standout was the trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, who is perhaps one of the most versatile and loudest trombonists today. Though he only rarely picked up his horn, Marsalis also distinguished himself, particularly in his trumpet duel with Marcus Belgrave and his balled performance. Those performance stood out from the concert together with the adventurous selection of seldom-heard Ellingtonia which constituted a fitting tribute to the Duke in itself...
...much onstage signalling and Faithfull's blatant note-checking, the last half of her performance felt like a work in-progess. Her ensemble for that set includes a percussionist, electric guitarist, bassist and trumpet player--as harmonic as the New-Age-sounding synthisizers, chimes and cymbals were, they were rather ordinary next to Faithfull's cathartic voice...
