Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:36:54 GMT

Simon Moullier was determined to give New York City one more chance.The French-born vibraphonist seemed to have everything required for a successful jazz career. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, where renowned trumpeter and professor Darren Barrett made him an essential part of several recording projects, Moullier earned a Master’s degree from the elite Thelonious Monk Institute in 2018 while studying with jazz legends Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Billy Childs.Most importantly, Moullier, 29, had developed a distinctive voice on his instrument, a rhythmically assertive and melodically charged approach that made him one of the most exciting young vibraphonists on the scene.But his phone didn’t ring. For two years.“I was putting in a lot of hours at home,” said Moullier, who moved back to Nantes in western France for the first 18 months of the pandemic. “I put in even more hours practicing in Nantes.

Young love blooms among carnage in Berkeley Rep’s compelling ‘Let the Right One In’

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 16:36:54 GMT

Oskar is a lonely 12-year-old boy, viciously bullied at school every day of his life. His father leaves, his mother drinks and the teachers look the other way. He feels as isolated by them as he does wandering through the desolate forest of birch trees surrounding his town. It’s there that bodies are found, strung from branches like sides of beef, in “Let the Right One In.”Framed by Christine Jones’ macabre scenic design, these slayings intrigue Oskar (a magnetic Diego Lucano) almost as much as his new neighbor Eli (a beguiling Noah Lamanna), a lithe beauty who makes him shiver in more ways than one. Based on the exquisite 2008 Swedish movie of the same name, this hauntingly lovely National Theatre of Scotland production eschews cheap scares, instead tapping into a deep vein of existential dread in its West Coast premiere at Berkeley Rep.On its surface a coming-of-age story in the horror genre, closer to “Buffy” than “Twilight,” it’s also an unsettling meditation on our most element...
