On Sunday Dance Theater of Harlem plays with power and passion 3 thursday m arch Bruce Hornsby: If you've ever been to a UM music school concert or recital, it's easy to understand how talents like Bruce Hornsby, Pat Metheny, Steve Morse, Hiram Bullock, Danny Gottlieb, and Jaco Pastorius (and the list goes on and on) have gained worldwide recognition. Horns by, a 1977 graduate, is known for his dis tinctive compositional blending of jazz, rock, country, and classical music Although he had played more than 100 shows with the Grateful Dead and con- tributed to albums by Bob Dylan, Don Hen- ley, Squeeze, and Bob Seger, Hornsby first came to nationwide prominence in 1987 with his debut LP The Way It Is. His latest album, the jazz-inflected Harbor Lights, lists Bonnie Raitt, Branford Marsalis, and Pat Metheny among the contributors. Tonight he takes the stage at 7:30 at the Dade County Auditorium (2901 W. Flagler St.) with the UM Symphony Orchestra and guest percussionist-UM grad John Molo (drummer for Hornsby's band the Range), performing selections from his four albums in a benefit concert for the Music School Building Fund (they've outgrown their present digs). Cough up the $13, $18, or $26 'cause this show will be burnin'. Page 42 Now Times They're playin' in tune at 284-2238. (MDF) Voice of the Moon: When Federico Fellini died last Halloween, he was at work on his 22nd film, which undoubtedly would've yielded the mix of fantasy and social commentary, sexuality, and autobiography for which he was so well known. Then again, Miamians never got to see his last completed film, 1990's La voce della luna (The Voice of the Moon), which played only in limited release and was never shown here. Until now. University of Miami film student Horacio Segal has organized Cine Art, a weekly art-film series that presents hard-to-find avant-garde flicks by renowned directors including Godard, Polanski, and Truffaut. Ticket price is three bucks; show- time is every Thursday at 8:00p.m. at Beau- mont Cinema (1111 Memorial Dr., Coral Gables). Go see this one in memory of Felli- ni's favorite leading lady, actress Giulietta Masina (his wife of 50 years), who died last week. Hear the voice at 284-6902. (GC) friday april ally pay for your entertainment (seven bucks if you want a table, two if you plop down on a barstool), MoJazz (928 71st St., Miami Beach) is the premier place to catch our finest local jazzers. And tonight through Sunday from 7:00p.m. to 2:00 a.m. you can help celebrate an auspicious one year anniversary with some of the fine musicians who helped build the Normandy Isle club's rep: trumpeter Melton Mustafa (our Best Jazz Artist pick), steel-pan man Othello Molineaux, New York saxman Turk Mauro, and a host of locals (Mo says more than 30 are skedded) who'll turn out 'til the wee hours to toot, blow, scat, squonk, harmonize, vocalize, and generally make jazz noises.

(BW) AIDS: Art vs. Silence: While recently exiled Cuban artist Reynold Campbell cannot yet step on American soil (he's lived in Costa Rica for the past year and is currently await: ing a U.S. visa), he's sending his message wherever his colorful, controversial canvas es go. Overturned crosses, coffins where penises should be, and wings sprouting from muscular but dejected arms are among Campbell's recurring religious and mythological motifs. Images of nude young , men in fear and pain or tangled in sexual relations with other men and women, Deco- like in their regal realism but placed in psy. MoJazz First Anniversary: By now you know we crowned Mo Morgen's joint the best place to hear jazz in Miami, as did our readers. (And, for that matter as has Mo since he opened last April.) Despite minor flaws such as having to actu- for the week Gilberto Gil, above, and Gal Costa get tropical Saturday chedelic surroundings, confront the reality of AIDS and examine the prevailing atti- tudes among various age groups. The exhi- bition, which has already toured through several Latin American nations, opens tonight at 7:00 at the Alfredo Martinez Gallery (2311 Le Jeune Rd., Coral Gables) with an auction to benefit Community Research Initiative, and remains on view until May 5. Admission is free. The purpose is to educate at 442-0808. (GC) satur da y a pril Gilberto Gil and Gal Costa: Best known today for his style of crowd-pleasing, politicized bossa nova and samba, Gilberto Gil is just as likely to launch into a haunting Brazilian-tinged cover of Hendrix's "Up from the Skies" when he performs tonight at 8:00 at the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts (1700 Washington Ave., Miami Beach). As leaders of the Tropicalia move ment in the late Sixties, Gil, Gal Costa, and other musicians from Bahia (the Carnaval capital) wrote the score for Brazil's usher- ing into the information age. Their music plugged ethnic rhythms and national issues into the global-rock revolution, defining a new cultural identity for Brazilian youth. Twenty-five years later, Gil remains a politi- March 31-April 6, 1994
