Moon Hooch I

Wenzl McGown and Mike Wilbur, saxophones; James Muschler, drums.

Spawned from New York City’s subways in 2010, the busking trio Moon Hooch seamlessly blends house, dubstep, drum & bass and jazz into a style aptly coined “Cave music.” Moon Hooch creates frenzied foot-stomping bashes with nothing more than two saxophones, drums, and the occasional contrabass clarinet. Their self-funded, self-released debut album ratifies the wild praise heaped upon them by a dedicated–and rapidly growing–following. [Discover Jazz]

The Triumph of Marius

The Triumph of Marius

Giovanni Battista Tiepolo  (Italian, Venice 1696–1770 Madrid)

Date: 1729.  Medium: Oil on canvas. Dimensions: Irregular painted surface, 220 x 128 5/8 in. (558.8 x 326.7 cm)

The subject of this triumphal procession is identified by a Latin inscription at the top of the canvas from the Roman historian Lucius Anneus Florus (Epitome of Roman History, 36:17): "The Roman people behold Jugurtha laden with chains." The African king Jugurtha is shown descending a hill before his captor, the Roman general Gaius Marius. A youth beats a tambourine while other figures carry booty, including a bust of the mother goddess Cybele. The thirty-year-old Tiepolo included his portrait among the figures at the left. The procession was held on January 1, 104 B.C.

The picture—a masterpiece of Tiepolo's early maturity—is from a series of ten canvases painted about 1725–29 to decorate the main room of the Ca' Dolfin, Venice. [The Metropolitan Museum of  Art]
