arts
estival ends a year of memorable jazz on campus
By DAWN POMENTO
Collegian Arts Writer
It is an unfortunate law of nature
that motivation to do work de
creases proportionately to the in
crease in temperature. As the
semester draws to a close and as
signments pile up, the weather gets
nicer and it is easy to find things to
do other than study.
Added to the list of reasons not to
study or work this weekend is the
Second Annual Penn State Jazz Fes
tival sponsored by the Penn State
Jazz Club and the University Con
cert Committee Saturday. The Fes
tival will be on the luscious green
HUB lawn, so bring your own blan
kets.
This year's Festival will begin at
11 a.m. and features four jazz bands
from a variety of backgrounds. The
Dr. Jules Thayer Reunion Band,
will get the festivities going. Presi
dent of the Jazz Club Cary Stadt
lander said that the band is made up
of people that Thayer, a psychology
professor at the University, played
with as a student at the Berklee
College of Music in Boston. Stadt
lander added that Thayer still plays
gigs with the other musicians in
New York City. Stadtlander de
scribed Thayer's music as "mostly
contemporary, straight ahead

Grateful Dead sparks creative thoughts
By LISA NURNBERGER
Collegian Arts Writer
The Grateful Dead...hmmm...w
here to start? After being emersed in
a week of Grateful Dead tourism
seeing three shows at the Spectrum in
Philadelphia and two shows at the
Centrum in Wochester, Mass., of the
Dead's Spring Tour my beliefs in
humanity were reaffirmed.
There are so many facets to the
Dead that it's hard to decide what to
include and what to exclude and
make it 'all come together' into a
cohesive whole...but, if you'll bare
with me, I'll make a humble attempt.
And just dive right in.
As all good philosophy does, the
Dead provides a critique of present
day society. But rather than impose
opinion, their lyrics implicitly offer
suggestions. What they do is neatly
revealed in the lyrics of Terrapin:
"Story teller makes no choice, soon
you will not hear his voice, his job is
to shed light and not to master."
So if they don't candidly "tell" you
about the horrors of this living and
spell out how to live the good life,
what do they do? Well, I guess it
would be best described as a bridging
effect, which in my opinion, is the
purpose of art. Not to glorify present
day existence, not to dwell on "physi-

destroying itself.
their set a 1 p.m. The band is com
prised of several East Coast Offer
ing performers. East Coast Offering
performed at last years' Jazz Festi
val and is a popular favorite at Cafe
210 West where they perform
monthly. The high point of last
year's festival, in Stadtlander's
opinion, was the performance by
East Coast Offering at the end of the
day. Stadtlander described their
music as "high energy jazz fusion,
real funky and real upbeat." As a
side note, he added that they had
toured with Prince.
At 2:30 p.m. Scott Robinson's Mul
tiple Instruments Quartet is sched
uled to perform. The band lives up
to its name; Stadlander said that
Robinson plays approximately 30
different instruments. Robinson
was the youngest full time faculty
member at the Berklee College of
Music in Boston. Stadtlander de
scribed the band's music as mostly
mainstream jazz, "sort of mellow,
really flowing and fluid with a lot of
improvisation." Stadtlander said
that it can take a lot of concentra
tion to follow music of this order
because it is very deep.
The headlining act, Vital Informa:

for drummer Steve Smith, formerly

one form of Beauty/Truth which con
stitutes all the other things we consid

Some how, they capture this es
sence through the combination of the
Dead's lyrics and musical flow,
which, contrary to popular belief, is
in no form heavy metal. To accu
rately describe the music is pretty
much beyond language, but being a
jounalism major I guest I should give
it a go. The complexity of the interac

"Terrapin," played last Tuesday
night at the Spectrum in Philadelphia
pretty much sums up the whole trip
(if

with the lyrics, to convey the bridging
effect of getting from here to there.
The music itself evokes the feelings of
a journey mental in this case

Stadtlander, said that Smith is an
extremely versatile drummer and is
capable of playing a lot of different
styles. All five of the members of the
band have an impressive list of
credentials. Smith is'another grad
uate of Berklee and has a strong
background in jazz. Before joining
Journey, he performed with Jean-
Luc Ponty and Ronnie Montrose.
The other members have also
toured with legends in the jazz
world. The current line up of the
band includes keyboardist Tom Cos
ter, formerly with Santana, saxo
phonist Dave Wilczewski, who has
also performed with Jean-Luc Pon
ty along with Smith, as well as Allan
Holdsworth, Narade Michael Wal
den, Al Cooper, and Matt "Guitar"
Murphy. The cofounder of the band,
Tim Landers played bass with Billy
Cobham and Al DiMeola before
lending his talents to Vital Informa
tion. Stadflander identifies the new
est member Frank Gambale as
"one of the hottest fusion guitarists
around." Gambale, played with
Chick Corea befor joining the band.
Vital Information has released
three albums on Columbia Records,
Vital Informaton, Orion and most
recently,Global Beat. The music of
the band reflects the diverse back
grounds of the members and Stadt
lander describes it as "jazz fusion
with a lot of Latin and Reggae
influences."
cept is virtually inconceivable to cur
rent day Americans who are too busy
running from their computers to the
gym, the Dead convey it none the
less. A line that really struck me as ,
so, so true is, "everything becomes
vain." Think about it. Reflect on it...

mately ego-centric, for our own self
gratification? To affirm our self
worth? Listen to the words and inter
nalize them. "Comes a time when the
blind man takes your hand and says
`don't ya see?' "
And "see" is pretty much what the
lyrics make you do, or should I say
"let" you do. 'A certain line will stay
with you; you reflect on it for a while
and then it'll come to you in a "but of
course" sort of way.
If their message had to be summed
up, it would be, although a lot of it's

The University Resident Theater
Company will end its 1986-87 season
with the production of Tennessee
William's Camino Real, which opens
tonight at the Playhouse Theater.
Camino Real showcases the efforts
of 45 actors playing 100 characters
and 125 stage and crew members. It
is the largest URTC production in
three years.
Set in a seaport town, the play is
William's vision of a contemporary
hell where such famous characters as
Lord Byron, Don Quioxite and Kilroy
stop for a visit only to find themselves
hopelessly trapped in a sinister
world.
"Camino Real is William's attempt
to save mankind from self-destruc
tion. He sees in this play the world in
a state of moral crisis that we've
created for ourselves," said director
Robert E. Leonard, a professor in the
University's theater/arts depart
ment.
Even though the play is a depiction
of moral crisis and struggle, it cannot
be categorized as tragedy. Camino
Real is a surrealistic adventure that
also contains a lot of comedy.
Williams once said that he had
worked for that diverse effect be
cause he "didn't want the play to be
identified by academics into one little
mold."
He shouldn't have worried too
much about that, though. It would be
difficult to find any one mold to
encompass the many facets of this
play. For example, in one moment
the audience could be sniffling about
the tragic death of a character only to
be chuckling a moment later as three
street cleaners come to clear away
the body in stooge-like style.
"Camino Real is a grand episodic
pageant about romantics trapped in a
Former members of Journey (Steve Smith) and Santana (Tom Coster) are part of Vital Information who will headline
the Jazz Festival tomorrow.
This has been a memorable year
for jazz at the University, largely
because of the efforts of the Jazz
Club. The University has been
treated to the talents of up and
coming jazz recording artists such
as Skywalk and Cabo Frio as well as
many local musicians. When the
likes of Stanley Jordan and Bobby
tive....and live by the rules, that we
don't even realize has formed us into
what we are.
But at the show, the only rule is that
you have to feel it, and regain your'
humanity probably the reason why
those "long haired hippies" have
turned their back on conforming to
this world and have dedicated their
lives to following an art form the
Grateful Dead.
, Being human and learning how to
feel again, that incomprehensible
verb. The music fills you up until you
have no choice but to move to it
because you are it and it's in you.
Self-consciousness pretty much flys
out the window because there are no
rules to conform to..and this....is the
beauty of the Dead's music. So Bobby
Weir may go off on a tangent in his
playing and the band may have to
start the song over again which is
what happened on Monday night in
the Brendon Byrne Arena. But that's
the price for spontaneity and creative
flow.
And so ends my blurb on the Dead
and the Spring tour. To some, I may
have been stating the obvious, and to
others I hopefully have replaced
some unfounded beliefs with some
new one. But whatever... where ever
you may be in your understand
ing..."let it grow" and share it.
cynical and corrupt world," Leonard
said.
Some of the spectacle is found in
the fiesta scene of the play which is
similiar to a New Orleans Mardi
Gras. The scene packs motorcycles,
breakdancers, 16-foot puppets and 60
different costumes into four minutes
of stage time.
"It is a theatrical spectacle of song,
dance, poetry, sculpture, painting
and dramatic action," Leonard ex
plained.
The leading roles in Camino Real
are played by six graduate students
from the theater/arts department:
- Frank Garrish, Martha Kemper, Su
san Ligget, Thomas Foral, Mary
Ryan and Jeff Cummings.
Those six actors will each play
several roles in the 10 different sto
ries that are contained in the play.
The main storyline focuses on a
young boxer named Kilroy who is
arrested for vagrancy in the Camino
Real.
This production of Camino Real
will be complemented by two guest
technicians. Duke Durfee, a graduate
from the University's MFA program,
has returned from his professional
career in New York City to design the
sets for the production.
Pat Simmons, a professor at Flor
ida State University is responsible for
the lighting. Simmons has worked as
a professional light designer in re
gional theaters and on Broadway.
Camino Real is a difficult play to
produce because of its tremendous
size and complex story. But viewers
should not be intimidated by the
enormity of this tragi-comedy.
Even though Williams offers a dis
mal allegory saying that comtempo
rary society is going down the drain,
the play still contains some hope: the
poets and the dreamers may still be
able to save us.

"We're loud and obnoxious,"
Tommy Stewart, the bass player
and manager for the band Hallows
Eve, said.
The speed metal/heavy metal
group from Atlanta headlines a
three band bill, along with the
Rhythm Pigs and Heart of Dark
ness, tonight in the HUB ballroom.
How loud is Hallows Eve? Stewart
says, "Possibly one of the loudest
bands that ever existed," and sup
ports his boast with harsh num
bers, "the sound level in our
soundcheck is 137 decibels 50 feet
from the stage and our playing
volume is generally around 130
decibels." When the band opened
for Motorhead, who play by the
credo "loudness rules," they were
asked to turn down their ampli
fiers. So why do they play at such
high volumes? "Why not?" Stew
art replied.
The band may be loud but Stew
art's genial Southern accent and
subtle sense of humor hardly seem
obnoxious. He elaborated,"lf you
love us, you love us. If you hate us
you'll leave halfway through the
first song. We won't do anything to
change your mind." The other
members of the band are Tim
Heleton, drums; Dave Stuart; gui

Thomas Heaney and Mark Hensel
will be giving their premiere voice
recital at 8 p.m. Monday in the Reci

interest in performing was sparked in
them last spring after hearing their
senior colleagues' give recitals. The
two decided they wanted to "do a half

said Heaney.
Both are juniors at the University.
