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'.

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)

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. Note: Sunday's bash sets
you back ten bills at the door, and another
six for a food/drink chit. Bop 865-2636 for

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)

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-
