My friend Carlos is doing this show tomorrow night in Los Angeles. If you're in the mood for something different, check it out.
Here's what the L.A. Weekly has to say about it...
Douglas Ewart, Adam Rudolph/Willie Kgositsile, Daedalus at Juvee.
Well, sometimes it feels good not to know what you’re gonna get. With Douglas Ewart, it’s useless to speculate. He was president of Chicago’s important Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians for seven years, but that tells you only that he likes to push new directions in sound. He plays a lot of instruments, many of which he invented himself, a skill he developed as a child in Jamaica. He sculpts, often making no distinction between instrument and artwork. He gets conceptual ¾ he’s performed in a group that interacted with dribbling, shooting basketball players. He’s a teacher and a lecturer. He’s a wild card. With Adam Rudolph, you at least know he’s a magician on the skins, able to draw spirit-worldly moans and irresistible grooves from a single drum, or from a roomful of percussion instruments, didgeridoos and oddments. He’s especially adaptable as a collaborator in various disciplines, his partner on this occasion being poet Willie Kgositsile. There’s also a certain Daedalus, playing "guit
ars, machines, love bones," it says here. Makes the movies seem kinda boring, doesn’t it? 4475 Santa Monica Blvd.; 8 p.m.; $10. (323) 666-2989.
