Last night, the multi-faceted production of "Now I'm Fine" by comedian/trumpeter/composer Ahamefele J. Oluo, It is an autobiographical suite, alternating Oluo's darkly humorous monologues with musical selections performed by a 16-piece orchestra, a string quartet, and the vocalist SoulChilde. Oluo, who plays with the garage-jazz group Industrial Revelation, is a powerful player and writer who likes to push musical boundaries. (I only wish there was more of his trumpet playing in this show.)
