this time, we will have our Birthday Party - Jazz at the MAZE is now three years old!
No birthday party without a proper birthday present! Bring your present we will appreciate!
Let's have a short look, at what one of our fans (and besides a passionate art collector) brought from New York: Márcio De Campos went straight to Christie'sNew York to take advantage and acquire some Picasso or van Gogh for cheap from one of these bank directors in final decline.
What Márcio gave as a present to the MAZE is absolutely sensational: A Full Installation of one of the most famous French sculptures of the last century! TERRIFIC!
This lesser known sculpture is called "Fountain of Rio de Janeiro" and was shown in an exhibition in the early 20ths of the last century, as a part of the Dadaistic Protest against the installation of the Sugar Loaf Cable Car. The Dadaistic Movement in Rio eventually came to an end during the Military Regime and therefore this sculpture was forgotten a long time and only resurfaced a couple of years ago.
Our question to you is now the following:
Do you know the name of the artist?
The first seven people sending the right answer to us, will have one Bitburger for free! Mail us or call us at (21) 2558-5547.
And, fair enough, when the exhibition is over, we will have a new toilet for the gentlemen on the lower varandah,for ladies the two at the entry and one more on the promenade deck.
Look at one of our recent Jazznights (in March) with Julie Hughes - vocals, Wolf -sax, Alessandro - alto sax, Lennart - hammond, Vinicius - percussão - Summertime:
Got my head in a whirl for a brown-skinned
girl
With a look just like a laser
Till she picked my pocket and whipped my
watch
On the tram to Saint Teresa
I tracked her down to a shanty town
Made of planks and bits and pieces
Where she lived with her mother and twenty-four
brothers
Two teenage aunts four nieces
This friendly gathering welcomed me
With fried up yams and cane-rum
And proposed a move from the family
groove
So I would get my yum-yum
It's a landlubber's ark and I'm up with the lark
And the parrots and boas and toucan
nd Gabriella and her mother's fellah
A look-alike Lucky Lord Lucan
But the script got clipped as the hammock
unzipped
To a million Catholic vetos
Creep-crawly biting things
And dive-in-the-dusk mosquitos
For the side-effects of pendulum sex
Eliminate depravity
In the tropical grapple, who wins is the
apple
Of Newton's Law of Gravity
UNTRANSLATABLE - but suitably registered
folks!
How much of all this gets into the final film -
well I guess we'll all just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, just think about
the Bittburger, the Bohemia or the Black Princess waiting for you here on
Friday. Or maybe a glass of wine to wash down the pizza or the churrasco while
we all play away? Remember there will be vans running all night, so leave your
car at home.
