It's been
two years since guitar virtuoso Leo Kottke last
performed in Eugene. Kottke's music falls between the
genre cracks, drawing all at once from folk, blues, pop,
jazz and classical. Maybe a little rock, too — on
2002's Clone, Kottke worked with Phish's Mike Gordon.
Last year, he released the well-received Try and Stop
Me, a collection of 10 solo acoustic guitar pieces
and one track with Los Lobos. Kottke's playing has been
described as "the most instantly recognizable guitar sound
in the world," and fans say that those who haven't seen
him live haven't really had the true Kottke experience.
See Friday Calendar.
Seattle
salsa band Cambalache makes its last Lane County
appearance of the year at the Vet's Club, adding a dose
of extra spice to the venue's semi-regular Friday night
dance. Cambalache, a nine-piece band deeply rooted in
the latest music developments happening in Cuba, has
been breaking attendance records at salsa clubs up and
down the West Coast. The music starts at 10, but get
there an hour early for a lesson with Herman Reyes.
See Friday Calendar.
The
New York Times calls Audra McDonald a "one-woman
crossroads of vocal genres" — approachable enough
for pop, accomplished enough for classical music and
adaptable enough for almost any genre in between. Her
albums and concerts range from songs by Ellington and
Gershwin, to Kurt Weill and Charles Ives, to Stevie
Wonder and Randy Newman, to John Mayer and Rufus Wainwright.
Besides winning four Tony awards and even an Emmy nomination
(for a non-sining role), McDonald has been a rare and
powerful advocate for new music on an often-hidebound
Broadway, singing in contemporary works by Stephen Sondheim
and John Adams. Her clever, funny new song cycle, Seven
Deadly Sins, features orginal songs by Jake Heggie,
Ricky Ian Gordon, and other rising young songwriters
for the stage. See Wednesday Calendar.— Brett
Campbell
