Monday, March 26, 1984The Daily Tar Heel5 Mangione's instrumentals provide relaxing evening S.-y.'-'-- -v. 6v 1 7 i ' " if! V it Louis Corrigan Review DTHLarry Childress Pop band Art in the Dark failed to energize a dead audience Thursday. Post-game blues hurt Art's show The mighty Tar Heels had just struck out in Atlanta, and Chapel Hill was becoming a Mudville of sorts when the Athens, Ga. pop band Art in the Dark came onstage at Cat's Cradle Thursday night. The band's performance was disappointing, in part a result of the mood of the town and the audience. In the spring sky, the moon was about three parts live and one part in the dark. The performance went the same way at the Cradle, as the band's semi psychedelic mystique was left in the dark, unrevealed. A sparse crowd of less than 100 gathered for the show. Aside from a group of sillies who danced from the opening chords, the audience was sub dued. Perhaps in response to the audience, Art in the Dark gave an unfulfilling show that lacked real energy. The band even resorted to covers of three classic '60's songs to try to get the audience moving. The band opened with a sound version of "Calling Anyone," one of the four songs the groups performed from its self titled EP. Like many of Art in the Dark's songs, "Calling Anyone" included the rich harmonies of bassist Jack Harrison and guitarist Tim Lacy. "The Girl Is Mine," one of the band's unrecorded songs, was good in that is provided Lacy a chance to show off his guitar playing, which is usually hidden in the mesh of Sam McNair's keyboards, Harrison's bass and Rick Armour's drums. People started dancing to an extended version of "The Answer," which the band played with a conviction found in few of the other songs in the hour-and-15-minute set. "In Color," a song which should ideal ly work as a presentation of the band's identity and mystique, just didn't come off. The vocals were sometimes sloppy and the playing too loose. The vocals, especially the harmonies, were usually on the mark, though, pro viding the real strength of many of the songs. McNair's keyboard playing was subtle throughout the show, expressing itself only occasionally, as with the playful crossovers in "Tell Me." Drummer Armour provided a steady beat and backing vocals. He was denied the spotlight of singing lead at one point when his microphone failed. Whether out of boredom or by design, the band decided near the latter part of the set to depart from some rather uninspiring original material" to perform three classic rock'n'roll songs. The group performed raucous versions of the Who's "Pictures of Lilly," the Beatles' "Little Child" and a show ending and typically played-up version of the Yardbird's "For Your Love." None of the three, however, sounded a bit dif ferent from what any garage band could do. Art in the Dark's performance was disappointing, because the playing was not sharp, and the band seemed to lose its identity as the show progressed. Good bands are able to bring a dead audience to life. Art in the Dark was not up to such a feat Thursday night. 00 pro ftr cgd limn itontEr. rarart THE Daily Crossword by Martha J.

Ta T5 IT 1984 Tribune Company Syndicate, Inc. All Rights Reserved 32884 Relaxing entertainment. Chuck Mangione and his quartet played their brand of modern jazz Saturday night in Memorial Hall to an eager crowd. The audience was a mix of young and old, white and black, but that heterogeneity is typical of Mangione's fans. Mangione has enjoyed wide fame and recognition. He has toured throughout the world. In 1976, his song Chase the Clouds A way was heard by millions as background music for the Olympic Games telecast. In 1980, Give It All You Got was heard around the world during the winter Olympics at Lake Placid, N.Y. Mangione, named outstanding jazz ar tist of 1979 by many groups, was accom panied in' Chapel Hill by four ac complished musicians who also play on his latest album, Journey to a Rainbow, released last May. Headed by Mangione on a type of trumpet called a flugelhorn, the band in cluded Everett Silver on drums, Gordon Johnson on bass, Peter Harris on guitars and Chris Vadala the "everything" man on flutes and saxophones and on triangle, tamborine and various other percussion gadgets. Vadala has been with Mangione longer than the other three. He's an excellent musician who throws his soul into his in struments, and he won ovations from the audience in Chapel Hill for his skill. Mangione played for over two hours with a short intermission. He built a rap port with the audience by introducing NCSL From page 1 Dawn Peters, both of UNC, were elected governor and secretary of state for 1984-85, respectively. Joe D'Amico, NCSL governor in 1982-83 and a UNC student, was a nominee for the Carlisle Award. The award, signifying outstand ing achievement, attitude and involve ment in NCSL, went to Kelly Baldwin of UNC-Greensboro . During the legislative session, bills passed included constitutional reforms for single member districts and the crea tion of a guilty-but-insane plea. Billboard regulation, beverage container laws, at tempted murder statutes and a rewrite of bribery laws were some of the other issues discussed and passed. It 12 C0S7 O? 4 blVti ELLIOT ROAD at E.

Arlaine Rockey Review some of his songs with short, witty monologues interspersed throughout , the night. Among the more energetic pieces Mangione played Saturday was the title song from his 1982 album 70 Miles Young, dedicated to his father on the oc casion of Frank "Papa Miles" Mangione's 70th birthday. "Papa Miles," a stocky, dark-skinned, white-bearded, very Italianate man, was in the lobby selling his son's T-shirts and albums, wearing his everpresent tan colored tarn cap. The Mangiones have a thing for hats; Chuck's top hat is his trademark. Two other notable pieces in the concert came from Mangione's soundtrack for Oscar Lewis' film Children of Sanchez, which starred Anthony Quinn and Delores Del Rio. This album won Mangione the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Golden Globe Award in 1978 and, the following year, his second Grammy Award. Mangione played the ti tle song, a flowing jazz composition, and Consuello's Love Theme, a beautiful slow piece with the air of Spanish classical guitar. The evening was marked by Mangione's enjoyable instrumental jazz I -m ' ' j f " ' DTHJeff Neuvitle Chuck Mangione plays flugel horn in Memorial Hall Saturday. ... His style of modern jazz has earned him international recognition. compositions, some of which, like Feels So Good, are familiar pieces, the type of music that is perfect for good conversa tion and a bottle of wine. The piece which Mangione chose for an encore, unfortunately, broke this relaxing mood. Freddie's Walking, the only song in the entire evening with lyrics (admirably performed by Johnson) was more of a Southern spiritual. It left the audience with the confused feeling of just having been to a revival meeting instead of a cohesive jazz concert. Sometimes the cake is better left without the icing.
