Works by the Burning Artist Co-op.
Review: Considering that the artists behind the Burning Artist Co-op hail from different cities, the occasional group show is a rare and monumental task. Their combined work looks at diverse subject matter through varied media, but true to this shows title, there are elements in each artists work threading them all together. Sculptor, painter and designer Noah Norton of Menomonie, Wis., presents a modern perspective on archaism. The darkly psychedelic nature of California resident Marq Spustas posters and illustrations share a connection to Milwaukee artist Ric Stultzs graphic-novel-esque drawings and paintings of disturbing, cute creatures. Josh Norton of Lincoln, Neb., merges woodcuts with digital photographs to create images that are both graphic and organic. Andy DuCett, the co-ops lone Minneapolitan, combines drawing, found-object installations, video and collage that merge relics of the Industrial Revolution. Jahna Peloquin

An exhibition of 54 pieces from the Yaroslavl Art Museum.
Review: An ancient city northeast of Moscow, Yaroslavl was once an enclave of onion-domed churches rich in gaily painted icons depicting Christian saints and scenes from the life of Christ. Come the Russian Revolution of 1917, the countrys new Soviet rulers launched an assault on religion and destroyed many of the churches and their centuries-old paintings and artifacts. Fortunately, the people of Yaroslavl staged a quiet rebellion of their own, spiriting off the icons and preserving them as folk art and monuments of easel painting. Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the icons have been recognized again as cultural treasures steeped in history as well as religion. Fifty-four of Yaroslavls lavishly decorated icons are featured in this exhibit most never before seen outside Russia. (M.A.)

For its annual winter concert on the West Bank, squeezebox master Dan Newton's Cafe Accordion Orchestra will have a new look. The Francophile band recently said au revoir to 15-year member Brian Barnes. The guitarist and vocalist headed off to Kentucky, so now versatile guitar ace Bob Ekstrand (a k a Little Bobby E) will step onto the Parisian sidewalk. The CAO also welcomes back former member Diane Jarvi as a truly special guest. Jarvi has made several splendid CDs of original singer-songwriter fare and timeless Finnish folk, but before attaining cult fame on two continents, she was heard singing on the combo's 1996 effort, "Dancing on the Moon."

One of the only first-generation beboppers still making onstage magic, and one of the most fun-loving entertainers jazz has ever produced, James Moody is an ageless wonder. He has his own distinct sound on alto sax, tenor, soprano and flute. Plus Moody's comic singing turns are endearing, especially the mock female falsetto that he trots out on "Moody's Mood for Love." And his jokes always work, even the familiar ones. The lovable living legend should get great support this week from a unique band from Pittsburgh, co-starring the Grammy-winning Ashby brothers -- Jay with his lyrical and lithe trombone, Marty on groovy guitar. On drums is veteran Roger Humphries, the man who anchored several Horace Silver hits in the mid-1960s, including the classic "Song for My Father." Highly recommended. Tom Surowicz

Minneapolis music blog Switchblade Comb gives us the perfect antidote to a case of the Mondays: a weekly all-vinyl record night. Instead of more typical dance nights, which usually are geared toward well-worn crowd favorites to get the floor moving, this night is one for the true music geek who prefers obscurity. Expect an eclectic, five-hour mix of punk, funk, blues, country, rap, Britpop, garage rock and more, spun by a rotating line-up of Switchblade Combs bloggers and friends. The only genre that seems to be blacklisted is irony; its tagline reads No Eagles. No Phil Collins. No Bummers. Jahna Peloquin
