A GENIUS FOR ONE DAY AND I ALREADY HAVE A DETRACTOR!!! LOVE IT. During this act, the trumpet player began a solo, but he sounded tentative and unsure of himself, like his improv genie had been left in the bottle. Perhaps because of this, he cut out of the horn playing pretty quickly, and then squatted down and started tinkering with some objects on the stage in front of him. We were seated up in the nosebleed section, so it was impossible to make out the nature of the objects, but he sure seemed to find ‘em fascinating. (My wife ventured a guess that they were Lego pieces.) In any case, this mystifying tinkering went on seemingly for ages, as SROs musical accompaniment soldiered on, eventually becoming sort of arrhythmic and tedious. I kept waiting for the soloist to return to his horn, but it never happened. WTF was he playing with on that stage floor? And why did some of the audience cheer on this awkward display? Just being polite? Was it intended as this on as some sort of performance art? Anyone know? - Slog Commenter.
