CHICAGO ART ENSEMBLE...combining theatrics with innovative jazz for finest sound around Page Friday 2 THE UBYSSEY Friday, November 23, 1979 Co-op radio jazzes up air waves

By DANIEL MOON The red studio light goes on and once again Ken Pickering is on the air. Outside the Hastings Street studios of Vancouver's Co-op Radio a few rubbies meander in the cold November rain but upstairs things are hot as usual on the Thursday night jazz broadcast. Pickering slips an Anthony Brax­ ton album onto the vintage turn­ table and beams alien saxophone music to the waiting ears of thousands of invisible jazz buffs. He leans back in his chair and explains: "I inherited the Jazz Realty show from Eric Metcalfe of the Western Front. He convinced me that it was my duty to do a show." That was four years ago and he's still at it. Fellow jazzoholic John Orysik shares the duties of the one-hour show that runs Sundays from 7-8 p.m. as well as the Thursday night gig. That show begins at 10:30 and ends when the deejay runs out of energy not out of records. Asked why the program runs so late, Pickering answers in a slow measured voice. "It's traditional. They always stick this kind of music in the middle of the night when they figure no one is listening. Or they figure all the jazz cats are crazy and are the only people around who are awake at 3 a.m."

As the latest Muhal Richard Abrams album blasts through the monitor speakers and Barry Aschul's improvisational Another Time, Another Place is cued up for airplay, I begin to wonder whether PICKERING... play ing the whole jazz spectrum from New Orleans to the European scene the show consists solely of so- called avant garde jazz.

By SEAN CAHILL One of the few reasonably acceptable forms of modern art is o that style classified as expression­ z ism. It is a much-sought-after effect o •Ta X which is seldom accomplished suc­ O cessfully. Like most types of con­ temporary art it can provide a com­ fortable and profitable refuge for in­ competent artists who are able to peddle their wares simply because they are good entrepreneurs. On the other hand, there are some individuals with a genuine de­ sire to pursue expressionism as a legitimate medium for their ideas. Seemingly, Ian Linsley is one such artist.

An exhibition by Robert Linsley Of drawings, oils and pastels. In the SUB art gallery Until Nov. 30

Most of his artwork displayed in the SUB art gallery is marred by an inability on his part to separate childish scribblings from serious artistry. But he has unquestionable potential.

Many of his drawings and paint­ ings display a disregard for detail. He often resorts to the multi-stroke, mixed pastel technique that child­ ren use in elementary school to cover up their errors during rudi­ mentary art classes.

Although Linsley may appreciate children's art, it isn't necessary for him to utilize children's techniques in otherwise legitimate art work.

When one ignores the flaws, it is possible to see Linsley's almost pro­ fessional ability to introduce primi­ tive ideas and movement into his paintings. Some of the works are almost emotionally indifferent while others display an overwhelming feeling of violence, particularly those paintings which attempt to incorporate the styles of Matisse Peruvian midgets es, these fidgety little Yrascals are terrified when they see the size of our monstrous burgers. 15 classic burgers.
