The other instruments joined in creating a temporary sense of meter, but it was interrupted by an explosive vamp played alternately by Raskin%u2019s baritone and Voigt%u2019s alto.Here the ensemble demonstrated its ability to create tremendous momentum in an avalanche of sound. A wild tenor solo was jolted by four dramatic unison chords by the full ensemble, and instantly the group returned to the elegiac mood of the opening conversation. The piece ends as the group leaves the stage, except for the soprano, which offers a wistful commentary on the opening tenor theme. An alto answers mysteriously offstage, and the piece comes to an evocative end.A less abstract piece, %u201cEl amor en los tiempos de la tinea,%u201d drew heavily from the world music explorations of contemporary jazz. Larry Ochs explained, %u201cROVA%u2019s sound is deeply indebted to jazz, for it is the great saxophonists of the jazz world who have been continuously redefining and expanding the expressive possibilities of the saxophone over the past five decades. ROVA%u2019s music, however, resists categorization,%u201d he claimed.%u201cFirst, ideas of form and sound formats developed or attributed to composers of new music are often employed in our pieces. Second, improvisation is employed to greater or lesser degrees to fill out the body of the piece. And third the music employs the expressive possiblities of postbebop jazz,%u201d he said.Most of all, ROVA%u2019s music involves the stretching of perceptions, which can also be said to be the purpose of the entire Celebrate Brooklyn series. Judging from the audience%u2019s rousing ovation following the show, obviously those who came to be musically stretched got what they came for. %u2014 D.B.Drawings MonumentalThe works of 22 contemporary American artists who use drawing as a primary medium is featured in the Brooklyn Museum%u2019s second national drawing exhibition which opened earlier this month. The show, Monumental Drawing: Works by 22 Contemporary Americans, is an exhbition of approximately 65 large-scale works by both well-known and up-and-coming artists. %u201cThe drawings, conceived and executed as independent pieces, range in date from 1980 to 1986,%u201d says Charlotte Kotik, curator of contemporary art, who organized the show. %u201cWhile employing a variety of techniques and subject matter, they all use the largescale format as one of their essential properties.%u201dIn addition to demonstrating the range of expressions and styles which reflect the diversity of contemporary art today, %u201cMonumental Drawing%u201d also illustrates how the increasing popularity of drawing has influenced the physical and intellectural scale of recent works on paper, says Kotik. Since World War n , drawing has undergone changes that have been even more dramatic than those affecting painting and scultpure.Artists in the exhibition are: Zigi BenHaim, Cynthia Carlson, Robert Cumming, Carroll Dunham, Joyce Fillip, John Himm e u m b, o i j a i i H u n t, R u u e t t L u u g u , H u u c itMoskowitz, Bruce Nauman, John Newman, Diane Olivier, Elfi Schuselka, Richard Serra, Robert Stackhouse, Donald Sultan, Andrew Topolski, Michael Tracy, Randy L.
