A sound check along the Memphis-to-Nashville 'Music Highway'

Matthew Rushing was moved
![His focused intensity in performance does not call attention to itself, yet Matthew Rushing inevitably draws the eye whenever he appears onstage with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Blessed with versatility and a fluent technique, he performs with scrupulous integrity, always getting to the heart of a choreographer's intentions. <b>¶</b> In Ailey's "Revelations" -- one of three works Rushing is scheduled to dance when the company begins a five-day L.A. engagement Wednesday night -- his clarity and sculptural control make the solo to the spiritual "I Wanna Be Ready" a portrait of a man preparing for the great beyond. He can be a shambling, understated clown in "Blues Suite" and a sleek bravura showman in a role fashioned for Mikhail Baryshnikov in "Pas de Duke." <b>¶</b> "I'm a performer. I get most of my information through performing, because I feel I'm most open in a performing atmosphere," the compact, thoughtful, 35-year-old L.A. native said recently, sitting in an office between rehearsals at the company's spacious, 5-year-old Manhattan headquarters. The dancers had just returned from a well-deserved break following a five-week New York City season and were preparing for the four-month, 50th anniversary national tour that is bringing them to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion this week.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2009-03/45611554-16180908.jpg "His focused intensity in performance does not call attention to itself, yet Matthew Rushing inevitably draws the eye whenever he appears onstage with the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

The soul of Ike & Tina Turner
![The pop world has focused for so long on the remarkably sensual energy and excitement of Ike & Tina Turner's old live show that it is often easy to forget the duo also made some dynamic records.
