BUCK'EYE' DOC Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Another wonderful chance to see JPJ perform again in the US. Now if only Jimmy will come to Cleveland and play at the Les Paul Tribute Concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveAJones Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 John performed as a guest musician in the pit for the Merce Cunningham Dance Co. at the Barbican Centre in London on 6/19/05. I think it's terrific they are getting together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternal light Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 I saw Merce Cunningham when he was still performing as a dancer. Mostly he choreographed, though. Einstein on the Beach comes to mind. Philip Glass was a favorite composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly OT, but Baryshnikov did a photo tribute to Mr. Merce Cunningham a little while ago: NYT: Baryshnikov's Artistry, Behind the Camera Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the link. Photography goes very well with dance. Whenever a dancer is injured, a camera is a wonderful way to stay occupied while the injury heals. I really enjoyed watching Merce Cunningham's company perform. They are one of the most athletic companies, very modern visually and musically, modern art that moves.
