Wow! Thanks to all for talking her up. Lineup: Julia on keyboard and vocal, Danny Meyer on sax, Cory Fogel on drums and backing vocal, Chris Vosek on cello, and Andrew Tholl on violin. It reminded me of Shara Worden's musical universe, minus the flamboyant stage performance. The music is meticulously crafted. (At one point, when the strings needed to stop to tune, she remarked, "Sometimes the air does things to the instruments. Then we have a micro-tonal performance.") Julia's voice is strong and her style is distinctive. Toward the end of the performance they reached a cacophonous crescendo, with the strings sawing away as hard as they could, and as much feedback, distortion, and piercing sounds as any headbanger could want. But generally the tone was a lot more mellow. After the show everyone ahead of me in line was buying vinyl--at least three albums that I saw. I think Julia probably appeals to audiophiles. ------------------------------ End of ecto-digest V16 #890 ***************************
