26 May 2011  Crazy things happened in the audience. When Miller first exploded into drumming, the crowd erupted with the first of many spontaneous, marvelously timed, rounds of applause — not jazz’s standard post-solo clapping. Instead, a great roar would arise like at a soccer match. The quartet responded in kind, tearing into their material and delivering a full throttle set of American jazz. [...] 17 April 2011  We’ve enjoyed all the performances of Barak Marshall’s witty choreography thus far. But nothing matched seeing MONGER performed by Israeli dancers, so fluent in Marshall’s artistic mother tongue.
