If it wasn't for the single bead of sweat running down the side of Flex Fowler's cheek, you'd swear the whole thing was effortless. Aztec Two Step is an almost meek group that doesn't try to impress you with a lot of flashy theatrics. Their concert Sunday night at Esby Gym was casual and low-key but very very good. Neal Shulman and Flex Fowler are the core of Aztec Two Step, and they complimented each other nicely in a number of ways. While both play acoustic guitar and sing, Fowler is by far the better vocalist and Shulman the better guitarist. Yet there was no vying for the audiences attention. They played as a duo, with tight, precise harmony. Fowler is the country boy from Maine and Shulman the New Yorker. This accounts for the contrast in style between songs like Baking , a down home country tune and A Conversation in a Car, a ballad which in- cludes reference to the New Jersey Pike and Jim Lowe-'s MiIkman's Matinee . About half way through the concert came the Tradi- tional Seeds and Stems tlay backi portion, which in- cluded a song called t'Humpty Dumpty . lt's a story of how Humpty asks Cinderella out but she turns him down for the prince, we are led to believe that Humpty may have jumped off that wall rather than fallen. Who's to say? As an encore, Aztec sang The Persecution and Res- toration of Dean Moriarty which is one of their best cuts, based on Jack Kerovac's novel On the Road. The name Aztec Two Step, by the way, is not the way Q. io the bathroom in Mexico after drinking the ' comes from a poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. O it , 2 .,b,. 1 iv V
