Page 6-Tuesday, March 21, 1978-The Michigan Daily NEWS FROM THE{ MAJOR EVENTS OFFICE Jimmy Buffett brings his Coral Reefer Band into Hill Auditorium for one night only, this Friday evening at 8:00 p.m. The sales of Buffetts "Changes In Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes" album have just surged over the platinum mark. This week, ABC is releasing his new album, "Son Of A Son Of A Sailor," so we can expect a previewof some of his new, tasty tunes. Opening the show will be Warner Brothers' outstanding new artist, Marc Jor- dan. He combines sensitive lyrics with sub- tle jazz flavorings to produce some very emotional music. The combination of Jordan and the laid-back Florida songs of Jimmy Buffett should send us on a tropical cruise this Friday in Hill Auditorium. Tickets are still available. Tickets went on sale, last week, for the John Denver and Jackson Browne concerts in April. Having two artists of this calibre in Ann Arbor, within three days of each other, seems to be turning this town upside down. it is understandable, since both artists have hot albums riding the charts: John Denver's "I Want To Live" and Jackson Browne's "Running On Empty." upcoming torts March 24: Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band April 12: Jackson Browne, with special guest Krla Bonbff April 15: John Denver ... tickets are available at the Michigan Union Box Office (M-Fri, 11:30 to 5:30).

The evening began with the Scherzo Capriccioso, Op. 66 by Antonin Dvorak. This short work, characterized by Dvorak's melodic freshness and spon- taneity infused with traces of Czech folk tunes and dance rhythms was perfor- med smoothly, with a natural flow. The rhythms were tight and the attacks precise, but at times the percussion (especially the cymbals) was too loud - overpowering the rest of the or- chestra. THE VIOLIN melodies were strong and unified witha full sound and great intonation. Both the French horn and flute soloists played sensitively and blended well with the rest of the or- chestra. Overall, the dynamic contrasts were appropriate and brought out well. The next piece on*the program was Concerto for Violin and Orchestra by Aram Khachaturian, whose style and idioms are modeled after the rhythmic folk dances and improvisational lyricism of the folk songs of Armenia and Transcaucasia. Albert Markov, the violin soloist, played the surging, emotional melodies of the Allegro deciso very assuredly with a steady, rounded tone and almost perfect in- tonation. Markov played with great dynamic control, performing difficult rhythms easily and using consistent phrasing. In the allegro vivace, Markov played with energy and vibrancy, and his volume was loud - always enough to sound over the orchestra. At the end, he took several solo bows while many in the audience stood applauding. After intermission, the orchestra played the Hary Janos Suite by Zoltan Kodaly - a suite for orchestra adapted from the operatic score which tells of the adventures of the Hungarian folk hero Hary Janos. The prelude was played smoothly and the pianissimo by the lower strings was exceptionally beautiful. When the volune grew to a forte, however, the brass played too loud and the first violins were prac- tically inaudible. In the Song, the slowly shifting tex- tures carried by shimmering first violins were played gracefully. Superb flute and oboe solos sounded above the floating string accompaniment. The or- chestra played the Intermezzo with a full, solid sound and exceptional balan- ce, while the broken chord progressions of the cimbalom added an oriental color.

Paul Simon, after all, had been the dominant force of the duo; he was the composer and guitarist, whereas Garfunkel was the vocal genius. His concert Sunday evening at Ford Auditorium featured a delightful com- bination of past S&G hits and his most notable solo efforts. The concert's opening act was Dan Hill, whose current single "Sometimes When We Touch" has firmly lodged it- self in Top 40 playlists across the coun- try. Hill appeared alone onstage with his acoustic guitar, and immediately captivated the audience with a number of outstanding compositions. With a very relaxed on-stage manner, Hill related several anecdotes about his hit tunes, including selections from his latest LP, Longer Fuse. ART GARFUNKEL began his set with the first of three songs he perfor- med during the evening which he has not yet recorded: One of these, "High- way", was composed by vocalist Stephen Bishop, who recently appeared with Garfunkel on the Saturday Night Live television program. Although Garfunkel reached a couple of flat notes in the opening number, he quickly recovered with a strong ren- dition of "For Emily, Whenever I May Find Her" from the early Simon and Garfunkel LP, Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. He later per- formed "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" fromthe same album, with the inter- HI fl STUDIO Stereo T. V. Serie Fast-Competent RENTALS ATST1UDENT RATES 215 S.

Art Garfiinkel In My Sleep", from Garfunkel's latest LP, Watermark. He also sang a sequence of his recent solo recordings, including the title tune from his album Breakaway, and the hit single "I Only Have Eyes for You". THE BAND and the audience both hit, a funky stride with the song "Cecilia", which included some innovative high- tone electric guitar work, and spon- taneous rhythmic hand-clapping from the crowd. The tune "All I Know" from the LP Angel Clare was strikingly set with a simple piano and cello accompaniment. Garfunkel shot for - and reached - the more difficult high notes he had avoided in some of the earlier songs; his interpretation of Jimmy Webb's lyric was clear and beautifully con- trolled. Garfunkel closed the set by playing the two songs the audience most wanted to hear. Backup band members again supplied harmony for the current smash single,' "( What a) Wonderful World", which Garfunkel performed with Paul Simon and James Taylor on Watermark. The focus was on Gar- funkel for "Bridge Over Troubled Waters", easily the most popular song Simon and Garfunkel recorded together. Garfunkel handled the soaring vocals with ease, his voice ringing with powerful emotion, and was complimented by an excellent piano accompaniment. The audience demanded two encores, one of which was the old S&G favorite, "The Sound of Silence". A heavy elec- tric arrangement, and some eerie blue lighting gave an additional mysteriousness to the classic Paul Simon composition. By swinging both old and new favorites and popular new songs, he fulfilled the expectations of every member of the audience. 1NSTANT CASH! WE'RE PAYING $1-$2 PER DISC FOR YOUR ALBUMS IN GOOD SHAPE.
