		Alvin Singleton and Charles Griffin were each represented by two pieces: Singleton by Greed Machine” (2003) and Argoru VII (1994), Griffin by Visitations (2002) and Cambiando Paisaje (2003).
		Of Sunday’s music, I was most impressed by Singleton’s Greed Machine, which pianist McCollough and vibraphonist Warner used to open the afternoon.
		Best of all, Singleton avoided the ostinato trap, where some basic rhythm is repeated over and over, as though the composer were running in place, waiting for an idea to come over the horizon.
