ANSWER TO PREVIOUS PUZZLE:

RELEASE DATE– Friday, March 30, 2018

Los Angeles Times Daily Crossword Puzzle

Edited by Rich Norris and Joyce Nichols Lewis

Few artists have electrified 

Ann Arbor audiences like Chick 
Corea. His 2015 performance 
with Herbie Hancock was one 
of the most recent University 
Musical Society performances 
of the past couple of years. His 
historic performance at Hill 
Auditorium during the Great 
Blizzard of 1978 (again with 
Herbie Hancock) was released 
as part one of “An Evening with 
Herbie Hancock & Chick Corea: 
In Concert.”

This 
coming 
weekend, 

Corea partners with the Jazz 
at Lincoln Center Orchestra to 
present an evening of Corea’s 
music 
at 
Hill 
Auditorium. 

The concert will also feature 
the Jazz at Lincoln Center 
Orchestra, another ensemble 
that has proven to be extremely 
popular 
among 
Ann 
Arbor 

audiences.

This 
concert 
also 
marks 

the end of the Jazz at Lincoln 
Center’s 
first 
tour 
without 

Wynton 
Marsalis, 
the 

accomplished 
leader 
of 
the 

ensemble 
who 
is 
currently 

taking a brief hiatus to pursue 
other projects.

“This was a good first foray 

into touring without Wynton,” 
said Jason Olaine, Director of 
Programming and Touring for 
Jazz at Lincoln Center, in an 
interview with The Daily. As 
they enter their last couple days 
of performances, “the band and 
Chick have been really happy.”

Jazz at Lincoln Center is a 

notoriously busy organization. 
I interviewed Olaine as he 
arrived back to New York from 
Shanghai, and as the ensemble 
moved from Arizona to Chicago. 
With 
this 
hectic 
schedule, 

it’s easy to understand why 
Marsalis might have stepped 
away from the ensemble for a 
little while.

“Usually our Jazz at Lincoln 

Center Orchestra with Wynton 
Marsalis tours between 13 and 
18 weeks every year,” Olaine 
said. 
“Wynton 
scheduled 
a 

short sabbatical and our agent 
happens to be Chick’s agent.”

While the Jazz at Lincoln 

Center Orchestra and Chick 
Corea go on tour all the time, 
Ann Arbor is lucky to have 
hosted 18 previous Jazz at 
Lincoln 
Center 
Orchestra 

concerts 
and 
five 
previous 

Chick Corea concerts.

“This concert does speak to 

your in-house-programming to 
have been able to secure this 
date,” Olaine said.

Corea is perhaps best known 

today for his versatility. He 
has performed throughout his 
career with a huge number 
of artists, collaborating with 
everyone from Miles Davis 
to Bobby McFerrin. He has 
worked frequently in the past 
with the Jazz at Lincoln Center 
Orchestra and is quite popular 
among the members of the 
ensemble.

Last time he worked with the 

orchestra, “Chick had a great 
time and we loved it,” Olaine 
said. “Victor Goines has been 
working with Chick as co-music 
director,” he continued, and 
there has been “lots of great 
energy all around.”

Corea 
and 
the 
ensemble 

have gone on to develop a close 
relationship, performing not as 
soloist and orchestra but as a 
coherent ensemble.

“It’s a little bit different 

than coming up with a new 
setlist every night,” Olaine said. 
“Chick is such a grandmaster, 
and it’s been to be pretty special 
(to work with him).”

In the past, the ensemble 

has collaborated with Corea to 
perform newer compositions. 
They 
also 
worked 
quite 

extensively on the music of 
Thelonious 
Monk. 
During 

this 
tour, 
however, 
they’re 

“primarily focusing on (Corea’s) 
music,” Olaine explained.

Saturday’s 
performance 

marks the end of the tour that 
started in Provo, Utah on Mar. 
20. Given what he has heard 
of the first portion of the tour, 
Olaine seemed confident that 
it will be a magical event. The 
Final Four basketball game on 
the same night recently pushed 
the concert back a half hour, and 
he predicted that this would 
only add to the energy of the 
performance.

“The concert in Michigan 

on Saturday is gonna be a great 
one,” Olaine said. In their 
previous collaborations, “Chick 
has had a great time and we 
absolutely loved it.”

As for future performances of 

both the Jazz at Lincoln Center 
Orchestra and Chick Corea in 
Ann Arbor, Olaine was hesitant 
to make any promises. “When 
it works out next, we’ll see,” he 
said.

As for the end of the tour, 

however, he predicted a great 
performance. 
Saturday’s 

performance will mark the 
end of a fantastic tour and 
(hopefully) the beginning of 
a new collaboration between 
artist and ensemble.

“Chick has been having a 

great time, and our guys love 
Chick,” Olaine said. All in all, it 
promises to be another exciting 
evening for these two ensembles 
in a city that has played host to 
some remarkable concerts from 
them over the past 40 years.

A 
breakthrough 
for 
the 

University’s 
business 
and 

fashion scenes, The Michigan 
Fashion Media Summit (MFMS) 
will be hosting their first annual 
conference on Apr. 13, 2018. The 
student-run, 40-person team is 
sprinting to the finish, prepping 
for the event’s debut, one that 
will transform the Ross School 
of Business into an impactful 
fashion mecca. High fashion 
does not even begin to describe 
it. Wolverines, you do not want 
to miss this one.

The 
day-long 
conference 

entails 
a 
never-before-seen 

grouping of speakers from the 
fashion 
industry. 
Attendees 

of the event — hosted by Amy 
Levin, founder and executive 
director of the global fashion 
community College Fashionista 
— can look forward to talks 
from fashion industry geniuses, 
including Gary Sheinbaum, CEO 
of Tommy Hilfiger Americas, 
and David Cho, Director of 
Partnership 
Activation 
for 

Adidas.

Anxiously 
awaiting 
the 

arrival 
of 
the 
event, 
the 

confident, savvy and, of course, 
highly fashionable founders of 
MFMS spoke of their inspiration 
for the creation of an event of 
this caliber.

“What was really important 

to me is teaching incoming 
Wolverines, and also current 
students, about the importance 
of networking, and just how 
rewarding it is to form an 
event that touches every part 
of business through a fashion 
channel. That’s really why we’re 

filling a void, we are putting a 
different spin on what fashion 
organizations currently exist on 
campus,” said MFMS President, 
Founder and LSA senior Ali 
Gropper.

The void that MFMS is 

filling has caught the attention 
of industry titans, such as 

Rachel Zoe, who has expressed 
immense 
support 
of 
the 

organization’s 
work. 
Truly 

unique to Michigan’s campus, 
MFMS aims to reach students in 
all corners of the University.

“Every person who cares 

about what they wear, who 
has an interest in brands, who 
knows what’s cool, who knows 
what’s trending, who is on 
Instagram and scrolls … we 
touch every single inch of any 

industry through this channel 
of fashion but really it extends 
so much further than that,” 
said Kinesiology senior Rachel 
Roth, who is also the co-founder, 
creative 
director 
and 
chief 

marketing officer of MFMS.

With 
an 
emphasis 
on 

networking 
and 
the 
inner 

workings 
of 
the 
fashion 

industry, MFMS is merging the 
best of both worlds to present a 
conference that is multi-faceted, 
fabulous and, above all, high-
fashion.

Drawing 
inspiration 
from 

the Michigan Sports Business 
Conference, MFMS brings a 
creative twist to the traditional 
business 
atmosphere 
often 

portrayed in the Ross School of 
Business. 

“It’s a different vibe in the 

two different businesses … you 
go into a sports office, it doesn’t 
matter what organization you’re 
working with, everyone’s in 
a suit and tie and it’s kind of 
that culture. You walk into a 
big fashion company, there’s 
no dress code. People wear 
whatever they want. It’s a little 
more relaxed. It’s more creative. 
It’s more fun,” said LSA senior 
and MFMS co-founder and chief 
operating officer Ryan Walker.

As Apr. 13 rapidly approaches, 

MFMS is certainly an event you 
want to keep an eye on. Aiming 
to reach students of all career 
trajectories, the opportunities 
for involvement in both the 
business and fashion worlds are 
endless.

things The MFMS has to offer,

MFMS, by visiting their website.

Michigan Fashion Media 
Summit a breakthrough

MARGARET SHERIDAN

Daily Arts Writer

When my 11th grade A.P. 

American Literature class began 
reading 
“Beloved,” 
by 
Toni 

Morrison, I couldn’t have been 
more 
excited; 
it 
represented 

the blend of American history 
and contemporary voices that I 
loved, and I had yet to read any of 
Morrison’s works. I don’t want to 
ruin the plot for anyone who has 
yet to read it, so let it suffice to 
say that the novel tells the story 
of Sethe, an enslaved woman 
who runs away with her children 
from a plantation and, upon facing 
capture and re-enslavement, is 
presented with an impossible 
choice. It’s one she makes and 
sticks to.

I immediately fell in love with 

Morrison’s writing. I had never 
read a book so simultaneously 
blunt and musical, sparse yet 
evocative. Yet my experience with 
the book, beyond my appreciation 
for Morrison’s talent, was shaped 
primarily by my shock at how 
Sethe’s action quickly became 
the most polarized topic among 
my grade class. I had never seen 
my classmates so animated over 
debating a person’s decision in 
a piece of literature, from any 
course. Either the mother’s choice 
was unequivocally wrong or it was 
justified, something that we could 
see ourselves making.

I argued at the time that we 

couldn’t know if we would have 

done the same thing; part of the 
brilliance of “Beloved” is how 
Morrison keeps us at a distance 
from her characters, a distance 
I couldn’t help but feel was 
deepened by the fact that the 
majority of my class, faculty and 
school was white; my peers and 
I had grown up learning about 
American slavery in neat, annual 
units. Though I had incredible 
history teachers in high school, I 
felt that my classmates and I had 
never been taught how to fully 
grasp the weight of that piece of 
our history.

Since then, “Beloved” has been 

my answer whenever people ask 
what my favorite book is. My reply 
to the follow-up question has 
been, from 11th grade until just 
this year, because it’s “the most 
visceral lesson in empathy a book 
has ever given me.” I’ve spent the 
past year reading and writing and 
talking about “Beloved” for my 
English thesis, and have decided 
it is more true to say that reading 
the book is a lesson in the limits of 
empathy. Based on the true story 
of Margaret Garner, no other book 
I have ever read has reckoned so 
viscerally with the limits of white 
access to and empathy for Black 
narratives, access to incomplete 
records of American slavery’s 
history, the troubled articulation 
of 
unspeakable 
trauma 
and 

the strive to recuperate stories 
that have been lost to history. 
Through language stripped down 
to only the most vital elements, 
moments of uninhibited love, of 

private intimacy, are rendered 
in 
heartbreakingly 
exquisite 

prose. The epilogue of “Beloved” 
may be the most beautiful and 
haunting piece of writing I’ve ever 
encountered.

“Beloved” is part of why I chose 

to major in English and history, 
and part of why I’m so invested 
in 
interdisciplinary 
work. 
In 

“The Site of Memory,” Morrison 
noted that in writing “Beloved,” 
her job had become figuring 
out “how to rip that veil drawn 
over ‘proceedings too terrible 
to relate.’” I think that learning 
how to reckon with this veil that 
reminds us of experiences or parts 
of our history we may never fully 
understand is of vital importance 
for us as creators and consumers 
of art, as students and teachers, 
as active participants of a world 
in which these issues are only 
escalating in urgency.

The 
first 
time 
I 
finished 

“Beloved,” I scribbled on the back 
page: “Reading this book feels 
like listening to a stethoscope 
pressed up against the heart of the 
nation.” A pretentious thing to say, 
perhaps, but it feels truer to me 
more so now than ever. My copy is 
heavy with fading penciled notes 
from high school, careful red 
underlining from this summer and 
eager highlighting from the past 
few weeks as I’ve tried for months 
to articulate what I feel to be true: 
For its lessons, for its warnings 
and its beauty, “Beloved” is one of 
the most important books of the 
past half century.
