Chris Drury
 Chris Drury $49.50 After discovering Andy Goldworthy I wanted to go deeper into his kind of soulful art, his unique way of uncovering beauty where others don't see anything else but what's there. I really felt touched by his book and his communion with nature. Looking to explore further into this new vision, I came across Chris Drury. In your book reviews you compare him to Andy Goldworthy and somebody even calls him more soulful. When I got Chris Drury's book, I was disappointed, almost cheated. No doubt Chris Drury is a capable craftsman, but it's unfair to compare the two artists. Chris Drury's art doesn't even come close to reaching the depths Andy Goldworthy's does. Chris Drury utilizes nature for his art, whereas Andy Goldworthy blends with nature and together they do art.  Steiner New York Rangers Chris Drury Autographed Jersey $649.99 A must-have collectible for the die-hard fan, this officially licensed NHL(r) New York Rangers Chris Drury jersey from Steiner comes hand-signed by the player. The jersey also includes the player's number.  A Momentary Lapse $15.98 Take a track like COPALIS. How would you describe this thing? It obviously doesn't swing. It broods. It's introspective chamber music along the lines of Bartok and Hindemith. It's also spooky in a highly original way. It's gothadelic, fer pete's sake. But it's simultaneously humoristical when they're playing those unison lines. Myra Medford is fairly well-known and her virtuosity came as no surprise. Eyvind Kang's violinistics are familiar to me from one of Aiko Shimada's records. Bassist Mark Dresser has a fine grasp of note-bending ambience. Jazz needs composers. Not improvisers. And Drury has taken a giant step in the right direction. |
