14— . The Daily Collegian Monday, March 23, 1981 angione: playing for the people Editor's note: Last week, Jazz artist and :omposer Chuck Mangione and the Mangione Quartet played to their second sellout crowd in Eisenhower ‘uditorium in less than two years. Since le, release of "Feels So Good" three tears ago, Mangione's energetic and nelodic sound has' become increasingly copular. After the concert last week, Jaily Collegian Staff Writer Justin :atanoso talked with Mangione about cis commercial success and musical :mivictions. The following is edited for ength and clarity. - INNOVATIVE TEACHERS :April 4th at the Sheraton Inn 9:30 a.m. Registration Costs: $1 for the Workshop; $5 for Lunche - on and Workshop ":Advance Reservations for lunch mustbe„made by March 31st Registration form Name DI will attend the workshop O I will attend the luncheon and workshop Return this form to the Box outside 181 Chambers COLLEGIAN: It seems there's always a dispute after an artist becomes suc cessful that he's sold out to com merciality. I imagine you've heard it before, "Chuck Mangione isn't the same as he used to be he's gone com mercial." MANGIONE: I hope I'm not the same as I used to he. I'm not the same person as I was a week ago, or yesterday. If commercial means that there's a whole lot of people that like our music, then were the most commercial thing you can find. And I'm not a believer of forcing Chuck Mangione of TOMORROW WORKSHOP Phone anything down anybody's throat and I'm a firm believer in playing exactly what I feel like playing. And that's what I do. We've sold out Hollywood Bowl for 18,000 people, we sold out Radio City for two days, we sold out Ontario Place for two days, a week at University Am pitheater. So if that means selling out, then we've been selling out a long time. COLLEGIAN: Even so, there's been a lot of televison performances, shorter songs: Is your music evolving? MANGIONE: I don't see myself as anything but playing exactly what I want to do. A lot of short songs on TV, we talked about that today, man. If you want to get people an hors d'oeuvre so they know what the hell you're doing, who you are, what you're involved in, you play TV. If you don't, if you want to sit in the corner and cry and say, "Gee, what a drag, nobody likes my music, I can't get a gig, nothing's happening, the world's a drag," you can do that, too. I like to play. So if that means I have to find a way to play two minutes and 30 seconds on the Johnny- Carson Show, or play five minutes at the Grammys, I'll be happy to do it. COLLEGIAN: Good business then, right? MAGIONE: It's not business, man, it's my feeling of wanting to play music for people. It has nothing to do with business. If I was a businessman, I would have been retired 30 years ago. COLLEGIAN: You played a lot of your older music tonight, but with a lot of new touches, new hooks. Was that spon taneous or do you work on them? MANGIONE: I just play the music. Every night it's supposed to be different, it's not supposed to be the same as the night before. COLLEGIAN: Your new album (a live double album release due out next month) you said was recorded last December during a benefit concert for Italian earthquake victims. How quickly did you get that concert together? MANGIONE: I only had a . couple weeks to get it together because it wasn't really planned. I called up a whole lot of good friends who I had met musically, in the past and they all said they'd love to come. It was just a great excuse to get together with some incredible musicians and it was probably one of the greatest nights of music I ever been involved in. I can't wait for the (album) to come out. COLLEGIAN: You said it was a great excuse to get together with some of the finest musicians in the business. But there was a feeling behind that concert. There was a cause there. Was everybody feeling the same thing? MANGIONE: Whatever they were feeling, it sure was positive. And it was great . . . I didn't want it to stop. We played from nine at night until five in the morning. I have • a double album (coming) out of the highlights of the thing and there's enough music for another double album. It was just a great feeling, and like I said before, just a wonderful excuse to get together, COLLEGIAN: With your popularity, you're in a unique position to expound your political beliefs. A lot of musicians in a position like yours do. How do you feel about that? MANGIONE: I don't believe in using whatever relationship I have with the public to impose on them my about feelings about politics or religion or anything that's an individial's point of view. I do benefit concerts. I did the earthquake thing, I do concerts for the Special Olympics. I've had invitations from every political candidate in the world to 'do benefit concerts for lots of bread, where 'they'll give you a ton of money. But I think the music is not supposed to be involved in that, that's all. The music is supposed to be a place to escape from all the bullshit of, every day life. That's what it is really. I mean, people go through all kinds of madness all day long and they come to a concert and listen to a song to escape. They go to a ballgame to escape.

KULP Daily Collegian Staff Writer Few musical productions can be as enjoyable and moving as an evening of 'Food folk music. Such was the case at riday evening's Bright Morning Star concert in the HUB Ballroom.

The show opened with a haunting folk ballad "Hangin' Tree," which typified the political and social messages that permeated the band's lyrics.

The lyrics, as true of most folk lyrics, represented the strong and sincere convictions of the composers. Bright Morning Star presented their concerns with humanity and humor, depicting greedy businessmen, striking coal miners and .victims poisoned from radiation caused by incompetent political leaders. Although the six member band per formed well together, the concert's highlights came when the members performed singly. Two particularly impressive songs were "Serious Men" and "Talkin' Self Defense Blues." The first dealt sarcastically with those "serious men" in Washington and eleswhere, who seem to have perfected the science of creating problems. The latter, a humorous warning to muggers and rapists, told of learning self-defense. It concluded with a warning to street criminals, " 'cause you never know who you're going to meet on the streets!" The high point of the concert came with a wonderfully abrasive and frighteningly accurate attack on the Reagan regime entitled "Ronnie's Boys." The song was preceded by mournful comments on "day number 60 in the Reagan • Crisis, as 200 million Americans are still being held hostage." By JUDD A. BLOUCH Daily Collegian Staff Write' There comes a time in the career of any great en tertainer when the award-winning parts or the songs composed by the best writers start coming in at an ever decreasing rate; lines at the box office shorten and record sales drop. Worst of all, popularity fades. Some performers pull out of their slumps, but many do not. The love that an actress or actor, songstress or singer enjoys is a fleeting thing that once lost is hard to find. One performer who not so long ago turned out movies and recordings that pleased both the critics and the public but is now struggling for attention is Barbra Streisand. Her latest product, the comedy film "All Night Long," is a good example of her recent battle to regain her waning popularity. Now, Streisand's comedic talents are many and no one can dispute that. Her previous roles in films like Charlie King The concert ended with a beautifully sung rendition of an old Appalachian hymm, "Bright Morning Star," from whence the band takes its name. Singing in both harmony and round, the band left the HUB Ballroom with the warmth and feeling that is truly great folk music. "What's Up Doc" and "The Owl and the Pussycat" are classic instances of her ability to play confused, scatter-brained women who usually end up causing chaotic situations. Streisand has left audiences in stitches, clutching their stomaches and rolling in the aisles a million times or more. But in "All Night Long" the combination of the rapid, Brooklyn accent and the outstanding nose down which peers a pair of large, expressive eyes are no longer enough to get the laughs they used to. When compared to previous movies featuring Streisand, this one has to be considered a dud. One would never think this to be true from just looking at the posters and other publicity. The ads make "All Night Long" look like another adventure into lunacy with Streisand as your guide. The plot is supposed to, be based around Streisand in the roll of Cheryl Gibbons, the wife of Mike the fireman (Kevin Dobson). Cheryl and Mike's relationship is not so hot, ... % • • •. . . j3.a'>'%~'s' slv'' h; ; , s ~ ; 4r''`,'~.~.~Gip '~~ t.... »...... ~.

Through their bodies, ballet, one of the most pleasing and breathtaking art forms, was done jus.tice. As a ballet, "Coppelia" has been around for more than 'a century. The plot is simple: Franz becomes in trigued with a beautiful girl, Cop pelia, who unbeknown to him is the mechanical creation of Dr. Coppelius. Swahilda, Franz's girlfriend, notices his interest in Coppelia and proceeds to win him back by impersonating the doll. The production was magnificent. The sets were spectacular, the or chestra was at one with the dancers, and, the costumes were colorful withotit being distracting. But all these' technical trappings might have been wasted had not the dancers been as competent as they were. Yet competent does not begin to describe the performers. As a group they were consistently in character, and their corp ensemble worked beautifully as well. But excellence did not limit itself to the supporting roles. ............... s?'s . • xa.gwge.mtoggyaNO.akietAAO.,?).so6l4:::.*o-...4.tiet..o.sg;.3.mogg.avovVraffAw,. togetheronthesamestage.DameJoanSuther land, Marilyn HorneandtenorLucianoPavarotti perform selections from various sources under the direction of Richard Bonygne conducting the New York City Opera Orchestra. a) MONDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES 'The Monkey Mission' Stars: Robert Blake.

(Repeat; 60 mina.) Tamara Hadley, as Swanilda, The Daily Collegian Monday, March 23, 1981-15 humor, mime combined awesome strength and control with delightful lightness and playfulness of character. Smilingly gleefully through tremendously demanding allegros and adagios, she made pointe work look like fairytale fun. William Degregory, as Franz, made his leaps, tours and beats look equally as enjoyable. When part nering, he seemed secure in his lifts and timing. He and Hadley danced to, with, and for one another. Humor is not often associated with ballet, but in "Coppelia" it is used to advantage. The life-sized mechanical doll roles called for extensive use of mime. Coppelia (Sari Braff ) and Swanilda both moved with the ap propriate awkwardness of a wind-up toy. Swanilda's sequence with Dr. Coppelius (Dane Lafontsee) in the second act was exactly timed, making it one of the evening's high points. But good timing was a con stant through the whole performance, marking the Pennsylvania Ballet as a troupe of thoroughly rehearsed as well as talented artists. The dancers knew what they were doing and the performance reflected their expertise. When discipline and talent meet on such a level, the result is truly . professional artistry. so she fools around with Mike's sister's cousin's son.

This is great for Hackman, but disastrous Streisand. The character of Cheryl is, much like other Streisanc: roles, a bit off-the-wall. She has blindingly blonde hair; -4. wears jumpsuits of a particular purple hue and: composes country-western and opera on her electri& organ. She is an odd lady indeed. This isn't enough; however. 'All Night Long" is a loosely written, poorly con structed film that does a better job at exploring the problem of male menopause than it does getting laughs; like before, great for Hackman, disastrous for" Streisand.
