(Sat. 10/18) Jazz Mandolin
Project-”How Much Land Does
A Man Need”
That’s a great question, and one
that The Jazz Mandolin Project
is posing to audiences now in
an exciting new chapter of its
already illustrious career. This
timely performance is a unique
combination of literature, video
and live musical accompaniment.
Leo Tolstoy’s famous short story,
“How Much Land Does a Man
Need?” is retold through narra-
tion, a new magical body of com-
posed music and video footage
that Masefield collected while
touring the country in 2005. The
contemporary observations fol-
low the Russian tale in a moving
modern context that enables the
audience to reflect and ask ques-
tions of its own time and place.

(Fri. 10/31) My Brightest
Diamond
This year Diamond releases their
sophomore album, A Thousand
Shark’s Teeth, originally meant
to be a more classical, string
quartet affair, the work slowly
evolved and refined itself over
a period of six years. Influenced
by artists such as Tricky, French
composer Maurice Ravel and
Tom Waits, in addition to the star
exploration themes of Anslem
Kiefer’s paintings, the imagi-
nary landscapes of photographer
Robert ParkeHarrison, films by
Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and Alice in
Wonderland, A Thousand Shark’s
Teeth is a musical snowglobe that
sparkles each time you touch it.
The songs, whose themes broach
intimacy, kisses by moonlight,
laundry, lost friendship and more,
marry vast instrumentation – ma-
rimbas, harps, clarinets, French
horns, rabid guitars, vibraphones
to name a few – to create an
unequaled amalgamation of
style and color. www.mybright-
