Kerrytown concert

We went to a concert - new compositions/recordings from latest CD "Things you must do before you die" by Virgil Moorefield. He is a professor in the music dept. of U of M and a jazz musician/composer. The promo in the newspaper said that it was electronic ambiance and earthy rhythms. It was not that, and poor Peter was probably mortified by it --but lived through it. To my ears it was very satisfying. I'm not sure what category of music the works belong to -- some mixture of "New Music", jazz and chamber music. It was not melodic but comprised of strange sounds and rhythms. There were 6 musicians including a percussionist with a stageful of interesting instruments. It made my week!
