Dakshina Ensemble featuring Kadri Gopalnath and Rudresh Maha...
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University

"With this visionary new work, he’s boldly breaking some exciting new ground while going all the way back to his Indian roots." —JazzTimes Alto sax player Rudresh Mahanthappa has won particular praise for his skillful integration of Indian musical concepts into his compositions and playing, adding a keening vocal quality that blends seamlessly into his post-bop fluency. When he was first heard here last year with jazz pianist Vijay Iyer, he impressed the crowd with his horn mastery, whether fiercely attacking fast tempos or drawing out entrancing lines on ballads. In the Dakshina Ensemble project, he collaborates with one of his inspirations, Kadri Golpalnath, a legendary master of South Indian Carnatic classical music. Golpalnath is renowned for his unique approach to the alto sax, which adapts the sound of South Indian double-reed instruments like the nagaswaram in a way that’s akin to how Debashish Bhattacharya uses the guitar to perform ragas. With this powerful septet, which also features violin and electric sitar/guitar, they create an organic hybrid of Indian traditions and boundary-breaking jazz. Member-only presale through September 2. Contact the Wexner Center's ticket office/patron services desk at (614) 292-3535 to order your tickets. Not a member? You can join and order tickets at the same time. Public ticket sales begin September 4.
Wojaczek
Where: Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University
Date: 2007-09-12 19:00:00
Type:
Conceived in tandem with Basquiat, Wojaczek shows the last days of the rebellious, self-destructive Rafał Wojaczek, whose poetry (written in communist Poland) has made him a Eastern European countercultural icon. Majewski finds an appropriately savage yet charming visual style to match Wojaczek’s poetry and life—as A. O. Scott writes in the New York Times, “Just as Wojaczek’s nihilism has a core of passionate wit, so too does the movie.… Gorgeously grim black and white, Mr. Majewski’s camerawork has an almost classical austerity.” (89 mins., 35mm)

Syndromes and a Century (Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2006) Fri, Jun 1 - Sat, Jun 2, 2007 | 7:00PM Film/Video Theater "A shot of pure filmmaking joy."--Philadelphia City Paper Young Thai director Apichatpong Weerasethakul (a past Wexner Center residency award recipient and visiting filmmaker) has received his most rapturous reviews yet for Syndromes and a Century, his latest essential film. Set in two times and places--a historical country hospital and a modern urban one--it tells the story of two reticent romances (or is it one romance told twice?). Weerasethakul is regarded as one of the most unusual and visionary directors to emerge in the 21st century, and this film is again filled with delightful mysteries and delicate moods. (105 mins., 35mm)
Macy Gray
Where: Lifestyle Communities Pavilion (Formerly Promowest Pavilion)
Date: 2007-09-07 19:00:00
Type:
Macy Gray's hit single, 'I Try,' introduced listeners to a different kind of female voice -- carefree, deep and somewhat raspy but beautiful nonetheless. Her sophomore effort, 'The Id,' is an edgy follow up to her debut CD, 'On How Life Is.'

"Compelling….every piece is rich in its own bare beauty."—Prefix José González from Sweden quickly sold out his last show here, enthralling devoted local fans with seductive songs from Veneer, his debut release, which has sold over 700,000 copies worldwide. So don't delay in getting your tickets for this return appearance. He'll highlight new songs from In Our Nature, his sophomore release on Mute. The new CD reveals a darker streak in lyrics that acknowledge the place of anger in González's worldview, alongside lighter tunes with humorous twists and a brilliant cover of Massive Attack's "Teardrop."
Hanson
Where: Newport Music Hall
Date: 2007-09-18 19:00:00
Type:
Sounding like a revamped Jackson 5 for the '90s, Hanson came storming out of Tulsa, OK, in 1997 blessed with photogenic looks and a surprisingly infectious sense of melody. Now, they're less a novelty act and more a true, bluesy rock band. This tour supports their current album, 'The Walk.'

This Chicago native says his jokes are representations of his observations from life, and he has been exposed to many different people in his life. "I make fun of the ideas that people have in their heads that just don't have any basis in reality," he says. For example, he told a joke about a woman who would not eat Chinese food at the time when China captured an American spy plane. "Everyone carries at least some bit of that and I think, you just got to point it out," he notes.
