Berko review: THE OLDEST PROFESSION @ convergence continuum
by Roy Berko 31 Mar '18

31 Mar '18

*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••* *Capsule Judgement: **The script, which is more character study than plot driven, doesn’t have much to say, but it does entertain. Though “The Oldest Profession” is one of Paula Vogel’s lesser plays, it gets a humorous staging. * *To read the entire review go to: **www.royberko.info* <http://www.royberko.info>* to read the capsule judgements of the other Cleveland reviewers go to: **www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com* <http://www.clevelandtheaterreviews.com> *••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*

Come and get your swing dance fix with Gypsy Jazz band Moustache Yourself and Get Hep Swing. What is Gypsy Jazz? As much as a style of music can be created by one person, Gypsy Jazz was created by one man: Django Reinhardt. Other people played roles in the formation of this style and it continues to evolve today, but Django's influence is the most celebrated. Django was a Gypsy (Romany), and a guitar player of unusual talents despite a serious handicap on his left hand. Gypsy Jazz centers around the guitar; both rhythm and lead, although the violin plays an important role in many Gypsy Jazz groups. The violin player that played with Django in the first Gypsy Jazz group, The Hot Club de France, was Stephane Grappelli and he is arguably just as important in the creation of Gypsy Jazz. Most often there is a double bass player and occasionally Gypsy Jazz groups will include an accordion, and/or a clarinet, and/or a mandolin. If you are interested there are many resources on Django and Gypsy Jazz! Ultimately it is impossible to accurately describe Gypsy Jazz in words, it needs to be seen, heard and felt. A few key attributes of Gypsy Jazz: Groups consisting entirely or at least dominated by stringed instruments. A special form of rhythmic guitar accompaniment called La Pompe. (The Pump)Improvisation on all instruments. Waltzes, fast tempos, minor keys, exotic melodies. Men with moustaches. Everyone is welcome to come and have fun with us at the swing dance. There is no need to have previous dance experience or a dance partner. The Lakewood Masonic Temple is located at 15300 Detroit Avenue, Lakewood, Ohio 44107. There is a parking lot in the back and plenty of street parking available too. Please enter the building through the front double doors. Please see www.GetHepSwing.com for the most up to date information on dances, bands playing at the dances, classes, private lessons, school programs, and special topic workshops.
