But the group failed to evoke the level of audi- ence enthusiasm that the others achieved, due in part to the lack of new material. All in all, the "East Meets West" show confirmed what many have been suspecting for some time: that for the first time in hip -hop history, the California scene is giv- ing New York rappers a real run for their money.

CHAMPION JACK DUPREE Ocean Mist Tavern Matunuck, R.I.

FOR DECADES, blues fans in the U.S. have had to admire Champion Jack Dupree from afar. The New Orleans -born pianist, whose rough- and -tumble keyboard style is matched by his invitingly gruff vocals, has spent the last 30 years in Europe. But with a surge of ac- tivity that began with an appear- ance at the 1990 Jazz and Heritage Festival in the Crescent City, Du- pree's visibility has grown im- mensely. And domestic ears have had a chance to realize something that his solid Rounder record, "Back Home Again In New Or- leans," strongly suggests: He is one of the most captivating blues performers at work today. The opportunity to draw such a conclusion multiplies drastically when one gets to see Dupree in an informal setting, as is the tiny Ocean Mist. Sitting on a kitchen chair (a pillow duct -taped to the back), pushing notes around a spinet piano, speeding up and slowing down passages to accom- modate lyrical moods, letting whole chords languish into decay so his whispered vocals could car- ry more weight, Champion Jack made a case at this June 10 show for the blues being the most pli- able of American pop genres. He also came off as an inspired eccen- tric, unconcerned with prescribed notions of blues rhythms. While trading phrases with gui- tarist Kenn Lending at a discon- certingly slow pace, there was a mastery on display; his music held you rapt even when it crept along. Which made his feisty and fertile demeanor genuinely significant. Alluding to lonely bedrooms, mid- night "tricks," and the attractions of pot, he helped us draw a picture of himself: a worldly guy who hasn't forgotten the pleasure of his youth. JIM MACNIE
