|
|
Mr. Ross was the M.V.P. sideman in this quartet, but really the honor belonged to him and Brandee Younger in tandem; her harp joined up with his vibraphone to create a single unit, woven and resounding.

|
At one point during the set, a vaguely African groove in 15/8 time suddenly tilted and tightened — morphing into a four-on-the-floor house beat, with Marquis Hill slashing terse provocations on trumpet and Justefan making a clackety racket along the resonator tubes of his vibraphone.
|
|

|
|
The low-key M.V.P. was Mr. Ross, a slight player in his early 20s whose vibraphone was sometimes like a spray of confetti, erupting in brilliant bursts; elsewhere he took solos that had the slightest tug of swing, leaning against the locked-in syncopation of the rhythm section.

In just a few years, he has become one of New York's most relied-upon side musicians, known for his ability to shake up and subtly redefine a band with his urgent, crisscrossing style — as influenced by the spaciousness of Thelonious Monk and the rugged flow of a hip-hop M.C. as it is by, say, the vibraphone playing of Bobby Hutcherson.

This piece is also a metaphorical expression of gender; Eastman was known to transgress gender norms in his work, and though this was usually more overt, such as eschewing on occasion a men's suit for a dress during piano performances, he was infinitely capable of subtlety as well: "Femenine" is composed around a whole-step measure, just E♭ to F played on a vibraphone, and the wild, layered instrumentation between those anchoring notes seems to expand the refrain itself as if it were illustrating something much more manifold and mystical.
|
|
While Sugarlife's lead singer Christian Dautresme gives voice to modern angst, his band members — Stuart Popejoy on keyboard and bass, Takuya Nakamura on synthesizer and trumpet, and Danny Tunick on drums and vibraphone — back him with a broad palette of modern music, which seems firmly rooted in the pop that prevailed during the formative years of Generation X. No two Sugarlife shows are alike and Mr. Dautresme is not afraid to free-associate in audience members' faces, so the cozy confines of Max Fish's basement should add an extra touch of unpredictability.
