Marbled Monday

For Marbled Monday this week, I’m sharing three books about Ireland that are bound in the same lovely marbled paper. They are: 

Substance of the Speech of the Right Honourable Lord Sheffield: Monday, April 22, 1799; Upon the Subject of Union with Ireland

A Sketch of the State of Ireland, Past and Present by John Wilson Croker, 1822.  

A Reply to a Pamphlet Entitled, Arguments For and Against an Union by Richard Jebb, Esq., 1799.

All three of these books are no longer in their original bindings, having been rebound to match one another using this marbled paper. Each book is fully bound in fantasy patterned paper that is teal, green, and pinkish red. They all have tan paper labels on the spine that are printed with the title of the book and the date of publication. And, just by coincidence, my nail polish nearly matches the pinkish red in the paper, as seen in the sixth picture shown here!

Now, I would like to note that it is not usually a good idea to wear nail polish when handling rare books and archival materials—it’s possible for the polish to transfer color to the paper and leave a mark. However, I use gel polish, which is set into a hard polymer using an LED light. Because of the curing process (and possibly the layer of clear top coat), no color transfer happens when you drag your nail across the page! Ah, the miracles of modern science.

Reverence

Review by Matt Collar

Alto saxophonist Charles McPherson celebrates the ebullient spirit of his mentor, the late pianist Barry Harris, on 2024's Reverence. Roughly a decade younger than Harris (who died in 2021 at age 91), McPherson performed and studied with the legendary pianist, teacher, and notoriously comprehensive intellectual during his formative teen years growing up in Detroit. The relationship not only gave him a solid foundation in the fundamentals of melody, harmony, and rhythm, but reinforced his passion for the bebop jazz building blocks set forth by Charlie Parker, his main stylistic influence. While there are no specific Harris compositions featured, the album certainly embodies the kind of intellectual, yet still passionate style the pianist championed. Recorded live at Smoke Jazz & Supper Club in New York, the album finds McPherson leading the same group featured on 2020's Jazz Dance Suites, including trumpeter Terell Stafford, pianist Jeb Patton, bassist David Wong, and drummer Billy Drummond. Together, they dive into a handful of the saxophonist's originals, including the minor-blues opener "Surge" (which features a fiery solo from Stafford) and the swinging waltz "Blues for Lonnie in Three," whose spritely trumpet and sax melody evokes the classic Clifford Brown and Max Roach albums of the '50s. We also get two standards, including a tender reading of "Old Folks" and a soulful take on "Come Rain or Come Shine" that showcases McPherson's throaty, play-from-the-heart style. All of this leads to the album-closing "Ode to Barry," a sparkling Latin jazz homage to the pianist. Over 60 years into his career, McPherson ascended the ranks of jazz master long ago, and finds his own creative voice alongside the work of his idols Harris and Parker. Reverence honors that journey, and McPherson plays with the kind of hard-swinging, cogent improvisational style that echoes their spirit.

FAST FORWARD for Liquid Frontiers @ Kunstlerhaus Wien April-June (1999)

Less interested in fashion per se, the exhibition prefers to focus on, firstly, the ideas and experiments which are developed in the name of fashion or emerge as a result of its suggestive power and, secondly, the communication of these ideas to a mass audience. In the place of clothes, Fast Forward exhibits examples of the use of fashion in such media as film, video, photography, illustration, animation or architecture as a means of addressing the new forms of collaboration between fashion designers and practitioners of other creative disciplines.
