Rosemary Cuttings
How long does it usualy take for rosemary cuttings to root in water? Will it root in water? If not, how do I root it in soil, and how long should that take?
You could root rosemary in water, but there is no reason to. Why make a plant go through that stressful process twice? Water borne roots are different than those developed in a solid medium.
Take three or so inch tip cuttings, remove bottom leaves carefully. Insert the cuttings into a coarse potting medium (part potting mix and part perlite), water them in thoroughly, and place them in a warm, fairly bright location until rooted....about 2 to 3 weeks (or more at this time of year), and ready to repot in several weeks.
If doing several cuttings, don't over crowd them. Be careful not to over water your cuttings, and do not pull them from the soil to see if they're 'ready'. New root hairs break off every time you do that.
If taking cuttings from outdoor grown plants, be CERTAIN that you are not bringing spider mites in with you.
I know that roots grown in water have an outer, spongy layer which makes them unsutable for growing in soil. The growing tips of the root, and young roots, do not have the altered morphology. All I want to do is start it in water, and when roots are just beginning to grow, I will then transplant to soil for it to actualy root. In this way I can avoid having to pull it up to see if it's starting to root. I also read that they should be semi-hardwood cuttings, not tip cuttings.
Cuttings taken from established plants is the best means of propagation. Take 4-6" tip cuttings from a ripe, flower-free shoot in late spring to early summer. Remove the lower leaves, then place the cuttings in a sand/loam/leaf mold mixture or a rooting compound such as vermiculite until the roots have formed. Once the root system is established, plant cuttings in pots or outside in a sunny location. These cuttings should be taken from plants that are at least 2-3 years old.
I know this is a very old thread but I hope someone will respond. :) I'm in NC Zone 7b. My rosemary winters over and I have "shrub" sizes in the yard. I have a feeling this isn't the optimal time to do this, but if I take the cuttings now, could I root them under lights inside and sink the pots outside when we start to have warmer days? Thank you in advance.
I just have to ask why? If you wait until the summer you can just pull off twigs and stick them in the soil outdoors. They'll grow. But if you want a winter project go ahead. I expect it will work. But you will need to guard against overwatering and too much moisture around the tops and causing mould.
You can start them now, better with bottom heat. You will need to tent or mist until rooted. Normal amount of light needed for starting cuttings. I usually start four in a four inch pot, tented and on a 70 degree mat. I remove the tent every couple of days to vent the excess moisture and prevent mold growth. I turn the plastic tent inside out when replacing it, thus the condensation moisture on the inside of the plastic is removed. Al
I took 3" rosemary cuttings beginning of April last year, inserted them in a 1/2 perlite, 1/2 potting medium and placed them in a doomed tray over bottom heat. They rooted in 4 weeks and were potted on into 4" pots and were ready for my mid May plant sale. I wouldn't try doing them earlier here, since I find that light conditions aren't bright enough in my latitude until April (PNW).
I think you mean a domed tray over bottom heat.
I have always found with Rosemary cuttings, April /May to be the best time for rooting.
Here is a link that might be useful: Gardening tips and ideas
While there appears to be a preference for rooting rosemary cuttings in potting medium, rooting in water is easy and it should not be dismissed.
I bought a $2.49 clamshell of organic rosemary sprigs (no roots) at the local supermarket, separated out 3 to 5 inch cuttings, removed leaves from lower halves and put them in clear glasses with Brita-filtered water on a sunny windowsill. About a third of the 16 or so starts began developing roots in 6 days (one shrivelled and was discarded). I changed the water once during that period.
This sure beats starting from seed or purchasing expensive plants. Also it's a simple kid-friendly project.

Zynga Jumps Into the Toy Business With Hasbro
Hasbro will make boardgames, action figures and toys out of some of those addictive games that Zynga builds for iPhones and other Internet devices under a deal announced Thursday.
About 227 million people play Zynga games -- infamously including actor Alec Baldwin -- like Words With Friends, FarmVille and CityVille, be it on their handheld devices, through Facebook or by other digital means.
Hasbro and Zynga were short on details about their arrangment, but executives at both companies have probably been eyeing sales of toys based on Angry Birds, a game from Zynga rival Rovio that has been downloaded 500 million times. Rovio licensed Angry Birds to Commonwealth Toys & Novelties and that company's CEO said in December that sales have been "phenomenal." An Angry Birds movie is also in development.
"Zynga is bringing more games to mainstream culture and is redefining how people play," said Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner. "We're proud to help bring their games to even more people around the world."
The alliance, Goldner said, "is emblamatic of the new innovations and new platforms we are creating across our entire gaming portfolio."
The companies expect the first products from the partnership to be available in the fall.

When the persecution of the Church began in the French Revolution, Father Jacques disguised himself as a peddler, which allowed him to minister to covert Catholics in their homes.

Having problems matching design...
Howdy all,
I am an artist/animator that has been coding his own site for years now, but I haven't really been keeping up with the new code the last couple years. I am trying to figure out CSS, but am having a hard time with how to match the design I created in photoshop.
Before this, I have just been using slices and dreamweaver to create my sites, and have had pretty good luck...
http://webspace.ringling.edu/~dsmith/ (my current site)
Need someone with CSS knowledge to help with Customization
Hello Every one.
I am new here so I am not sure if this is the right section to ask for such help, I am currently working on a site that runs PHPmotion with some Addons such as PHPBB etc, the site is running a custom template and I need some one to modify the colors on PHPBB to match the colors of the site, there are a few other minor modifications to be done.
Some of the job is done and the remaining should take a couple of hours to complete.
I am not very familiar with CSS I tried changing some stuff and messed it up so I don't want to take the risk again.
Help with vertical menu position
I have spent a few hours to get a vertical menu display on the right hand side of the content. I have manged to get it to display how i want it in IE and Firefox but can not get it to display correctly in Google Chrome. The menu is on the left hand side. Is someone able to point out what I'm doing wrong and/or missing?
Page Code:
<?php include('includes/session.php') ?> <?php include('includes/sidemenu.php') ?> <html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/layout2.css" type="text/css" /> <!--[if IE]>
Layout Help Div Overtop Div
Let me preface this by saying I am new to laying out pages in CSS, for the most part its all making sense I am very happy with it, works so much nicer then straight html tables and such.
What I have is div with a picture and its overlayed ontop of another div, this div has text in. I need to position correctly and also have the text wrap around the div/picture. You can see the sample here, http://impactgraphics.ab.ca/elite/
Probmem with using position: on a Form
I have form HTML outputted from Salesforce.com so I don't want to change it.
I'm trying make the form look better by moving the fields to the right and aligned.
I was able to do this using position: absolute; but now it's out of flow and the content below the form move up and it's overlapping.
How can I get the content below the form to stay below the form?

My family is in a bad situation right now. My grandma is addicted to prescription medication. She goes to different doctors to get at least five bottles of the same stuff, which is illegal. She's also getting a divorce from my grandpa.
My grandma spends a lot of time taking care of my great-grandma who has Alzheimer's. My mom has told my grandma that she needs to take responsibility and get help, but she won't listen! The court served my grandma with papers saying she has to have a guardian because she can't make decisions for herself anymore.
Now my grandma thinks she got served those papers because of my mom (which isn't true). They're going to take my great-grandma away from my grandma and she will have to go into a nursing home, which I really don't want! How can I convince my grandma to get help?
Hey hon, all grandmas are different. Yeah, some are your typical grammie: they knit sweaters, bake cookies and play bingo. But there are other grandmoms who have jobs, still love to travel...or have serious problems. The bottom line is that no one is perfect—no matter how old they may be. Grandmothers are real people, just like you and me. And real people make real mistakes.
It sounds as though your grannie may have turned to prescription drugs as a way to deal with the stress of taking care of your great-grandmother. Alzheimer's is an ugly disease that's especially tough on a caretaker. But that's not an excuse for your grandmother. Chances are, she's ashamed of her addiction, but doesn't know how to ask for help.
Instead of judging your grandma, try talking to her. You could say, "Grandma, I'm really concerned about your health. I love you and want you to get the help you need." Can't say it in person? Show her you care with a heartfelt card. Elderly people are at a higher risk of developing prescription drug abuse than younger people. It's important for your grandmother to know she's not alone.
Treatment is available to help grannie get back on her feet. But she's going to need a lot of love and support from you and your family. The first step is to have your grandmother make an appointment with her doctor. It's a long road to recovery, but with you by her side, your grandma can make it. Best of luck, girl!

Idaho Election Results
Elections officials say yesterday will likely be the lowest turnout in state history as far as elections go. If true, that means less than 25 percent of Idaho's roughly 750,000 registered voters cast ballots. Idaho Sec. of State Ben Ysursa says he believes the diminished numbers are directly connected to
Long Island Politician Faces Election Day Challenge — From Her Husband

More Deceptive Campaigning Accusations Being Claimed In Magic Valley
If nothing else this year's political campaign in the Magic Valley has become more interesting than in the past with charges of deceptive practices being leveled against certain groups. First, sample ballots were sent out recently to area voters promoting certain individuals for Precinct Committeemen. But the sample ballots that were sent with the material had been altered to not contain the name of the opponent.

Primary Election Changes
There are a lot of changes in this year's primary that will have a big effect on election results. The legislative district lines were re-drawn for this election cycle, changing polling places, who lawmakers represent and, in some cases, pitting incumbents against each other. But political analyst Dr. Jim Weatherby tells Idaho's News Channel Seven that redistricting will be a factor but it won't be the most influential element in the primaries on Tuesday.
Early Voting May Indicate Lower Expectations
If early voting is any indication some of the changes in voting procedures this year may have an effect on the turnout for election day. In some counties in the Magic Valley officials say the absentee voting has been a little slower this year. Some county officials indicate that may be because those choosing to vote with a Republican ballot this year have to be registered as a Republican.
President Obama's Support Of Same-Sex Marriage Has Some Idahoans Upset

LATEST: Eight fire engines and more than 40 firefighters battled a blaze at in the roof at Ballance's Kapuni Urea plant in Taranaki this morning.
The fire was reported to the Kaponga Brigade about 9.30am but by 10am a third alarm had been raised to call in reinforcements from right around the region, Taranaki Area manager Pat Fitzell said.
''It is a reasonable sized fire,'' Fitzell said earlier.
''There are concerns it is going to get bigger and we don't want that to happen.''
Crews wearing breathing apparatus had entered the building, and the blaze was now under control.
Firefighters would be at the scene for quite awhile, Fitzell said.

Al Foeckler, a former Common Council president and alderman, is the new mayor of Oak Creek.
He will take office on Thursday and serve the duration of the late Mayor Dick Bolender's term, which ends April 16.
Foeckler, a personal injury attorney with Cannon & Dunphy SC, was appointed mayor Tuesday night on a 3-2 vote, receiving the minimum number of votes to succeed Bolender, who died unexpectedly Dec. 10. Acting Mayor Stephen Scaffidi received two votes, and former Mayor Dale Richards didn't garner any votes, though he was nominated.
Foeckler, a 13-year resident of the city, served on the council from 1999 to 2008, leaving after his fourth son was born. He received his bachelor's and law degrees from Marquette University.
He said he asked to be appointed out of respect to Bolender, who he served under, and because he was familiar with issues facing Oak Creek.
"It's just a civil calling to help the city in a time of need," he said. "I've kept my finger on the pulse of the city. I came here with no ax to grind. And I have no interest of running for mayor."

Selden will have thrown thousands of pitches to hundreds of batters by the time she makes a final exit from the pitcher's circle, just as Findlay will have strained to see the spin on thousands of pitches released by hundreds of pitchers when she ...

It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

Perhaps it would be interesting to open up a "universities" category (or subcategory of Organization) to list universities that teach lisp?

re: unicode possibilities
I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Rhode Island Kids Count found kids enrolled in the health insurance program for low-income children and families have better access to preventative health care. The new study on RIte Care comes on the program's 20th anniversary.
Fewer elementary and middle school students in Rhode Island are obese. That's according to a new analysis from Rhode Island Kids Count. But the needle isn't budging on obesity in high schoolers.
Rhode Island Kids Count releases new numbers on Monday that show 12 percent of young school children in Rhode Island were chronically absent during the last school year, meaning they missed 18 days or more of school.
The study finds that for Kindergarten students who are chronically absent, there is an increased risk of low achievement that persists at least into middle school. The students are also more likely to be held back a grade.
Rhode Island Kids Count Executive Director Elizabeth Burke Bryant says a number of factors can contribute to chronic absenteeism.
Stress can affect developing brains, including the kind of stress that poverty can create. But a strong caregiver can mediate those effects. Those are the findings of a new study in the Journal JAMA Pediatrics. It's not news that stress and poverty can have negative effects.
Kids Count is out with its annual report on the health, education and safety of children in Rhode Island.
The report shows there are close to a quarter million children in the state. Nineteen percent live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level.
The good news, says Kids Count director Elizabeth Burke Bryant, is that they're healthier than they once were.

|Envisioning our future
Maui Zamora, one of the many participants at the Envisioning conference, presents the History & Context Canvas
WINNIPEG – The Philippine Heritage Council of Manitoba (PHCM) hosted a conference dubbed: Just imagine… Envisioning Celebration for Manitoba's Filipino community on March 7, 2015 at the Skyview Ballroom of the Marlborough Hotel.
One hundred twenty members of the local Filipino community attended the conference.
"There was a good cross-section of people who participated … from diverse sectors, various ages, the old and the new with distinctive immigrant experiences. Each one was asked "to imagine" how our community would be in the year 2030 or 15 years from now," said PHCM president Perla Javate.

WINNIPEG – Pilipino Express was treated to a musical evening at the Manitoba Theatre for Young People (MTYP) for the production of Annie Jr. as presented by École Leila North Community School. As an aside, I had done my student teaching at this school, and I was involved in their 2012 production of Alice in Wonderland Jr., so I came with background knowledge of the amount of work that goes into a production like this.There is a lengthy process of auditioning, casting, after-school and lunchtime rehearsals, as well as the creation of costumes, backdrops, and sets. This entire process is made possible by dedicated staff members who volunteer their time and efforts for the production, as well as the students themselves who use their strengths – from the talented cast members to the backstage crew, to the makeup and hair teams, and even the photographers and promoters. In total, it was announced that there was an estimated 120 students involved between the two separate casts and crew.

My husband's birthday is coming up and he loves Trappist beer (Chimay, Orval, Rochefort, etc.). I was able to score some of the hard-to-get Westvleteren 12 for this special day. Any suggestions on some food to pair with it to enhance the flavors? I've never tasted it but I don't want to mess up the combination. Thanks in advance!
I'm planning on Stilton cheese because I read it's a good mix. Also some pepparkakor (Swedish gingerbread cookies). :)
Sausage! The spicier the better. I do a fancy version where I take slices of cooked sausage, slather them with grainy German mustard and wrap them in puff.
Lamb stew! I did a 5 course beer pairing for my husbands birthday and each dish was prepared with the same beer paired for drinking. I used an abbey ale in my lamb stew and it was great!
QueenSashy is a trusted home cook.
I would go with some kind of hearty beef stew. Or braised oxtails with root vegetables. Or roasted pumpkin with toasted walnuts, arugula and blue cheese.

On the 10th anniversary of American soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy's death, Point of Departure's Stuart Broomer surveys the saxophonist's early work, pointedly noting that it was Lacy – and his associate, trombonist Roswell Rudd – who were most responsible for creating a niche for pianist Thelonious Monk's so-called difficult compositions in the Jazz tradition. Although Lacy (1934-2004) continued to play Monk tunes and allude to the pianist's canon in his own improvisations until his death, the band he, Rudd, drummer Denis Charles and bassist Henry Grimes organized in 1963 first gave the prominence to Monk's music that the Jazz establishment, including even the respected Free German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach, wouldn't adopt for 40-odd years. Broomer also points out that Lacy's expatriation to Europe in the late 1960s helped expand interest in Monk compositions among a generation of Continental pianists including Holland's Misha Mengelberg, von Schlippenbach, Swiss Irène Schweizer and Berlin-based Japanese Aki Takase.

Performance portraits by Susan O'Connor
Remembering Trail-Blazing Records from the West Coast New Thing
New York's Free Music scene, and the innovators who arrived in the Apple to expand it, is the usual focus of histories of 1970s Avant-Garde Jazz. But, as Mark Weber points out in his blog, LPs on tiny labels by experimental players who eventually became known elsewhere, were also being recorded in Los Angeles at the same time. Among the discs that reflected the burgeoning local scene there, were first efforts by veterans such as clarinetist John Carter, cornetist Bobby Bradford, flautist James Newton and pianist Horace Tapscott. Weber also speaks to multi-reedist Vinny Golia, whose Beverly Hills-based 9 Winds imprint also began in the 1970s to record younger experimenters with similar advanced ideas. READ
A Plea for More Experimental Films About Experimental Music
Although British filmmaker Stewart Morgan writing in The Wire admits that film techniques such as editing detract from the spontaneity of free music, he argues that a thorough understanding of both mediums can result in superior products. Morgan, who made a documentary about AMM percussionist Eddie Prévost, prefers stylistic videos such as Helen Petts' take on saxophonist Lol Coxhill to more orotund efforts such as Shirley Clarke's Ornette: Made in America about saxophonist Ornette Coleman. More to the point, he declares that there's much filmic territory left to explore. Considering that inventive filmmakers from Norman McLaren to Luke Fowler have been influenced by Jazz, he insists that with the right tools, more creative music films, both features and documentaries, can be made.

Jazz Fusion Pioneer Julian Priester Has No Regrets
While Dave Segal of The Stranger blog spends a little too much time quizzing veteran trombonist Julian Priester about his now-popular 1970s Fusion LPs on ECM, the interview does provide a good overview of Priester's career. Someone who also was also in groups led by Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Lionel Hampton and others, the trombonist reveals that his interest in electronic sounds didn't arise from his crucial membership in Herbie Hancock's pioneering Mwandishi Fusion band, but from his gigs with Sun Ra's ever-evolving band in his hometown of Chicago. Although he recently played on a Sunn O))) track, the trombonist remains a road-tested, committed Jazzman who didn't make more ECM sessions 40 years ago because the producer demanded too much control.

Connecting Many Scenes in Dallas: Stefan González
Son of Texas' most experimental Jazz trumpeter, but with a history of playing in Metal and Punk units, drummer Stefan González tells the Dallas Observer's Jonathan Patrick how he isn't content to limit himself to any one scene. A drummer since the age of four, with lessons from, among others, Alvin Fielder, very early on González began playing other music, along with being part of the Jazz trio, Yells at Eels with his older brother Aaron González on bass and his father Dennis González on trumpet. Not only is he also part of other bands including a Jazz-Rock trio, a Free Jazz quintet and a Latin-Fusion, Hip-Hop band, that also includes bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, but his solo voice-and-percussion project, Orgullo Primitivo places him firmly within the city's burgeoning Noise Music constituency. READ
The Right Man Once in the Wrong Place: Bobby Bradford
Cornetist Bobby Bradford, 80, has been playing superlative Jazz for more than 60 years, but there's one "might have been" that haunts many music followers: he was asked but couldn't participate in the recording of alto saxophonist Ornette Coleman's seminal Free Jazz LP in 1961. Bradford was writing his final teaching certificate exams then and couldn't get away. He had known fellow Texan Coleman for years, worked in his group – Don Cherry took his place – and was later a part of another Coleman ensemble. Bradford doesn't regret missing the date, he tells Wondering Sound's Kevin Whitehead. Since then as well, his reputation has been confirmed with his trail-blazing work in a quartet with the late clarinetist John Carter, plus collaborations with many like-minded European musicians such as the late British drummer John Stevens and an almost 30-year partnership with Norwegian saxophonist Frode Gjerstad. READ
Joëlle Léandre: An Improvised Philosophy of Music and Life
The questions from The Bomb's Whitney Curry Wimbish are this side of naïve, but this Q-and-A-via-Skype interview with French bassist Joëlle Léandre gives the latter plenty of space in which to express her opinions about music, life and tradition. Léandre, who over her 40 year career has done everything from interpreting the works of John Cage to improvising alongside the likes of reedist Anthony Braxton and trombonist George Lewis, insists that her music isn't elitist but for everyone. "With improvisation, there is no gender, no hierarchy, you can have every musician dialoguing together, she says. Conservatory-trained Léandre delineates the historical tradition of improvisation, maintaining that sophisticated composition and improvisation are closely linked. READ
The "Next Big Thing" wasn't even notated music (in 1974)
Now that it's been 40 years since Deutsche Grammophon decided to issue a three-LP box of Free Improvisation, The Wire's Philip Clark looks back on what was then DG's commitment to new music – notated as well as improvised – regardless of bottom line rewards. That box, which featured the sounds of Iskra 1903: trombonist Paul Rutherford; guitarist Derek Bailey and bassist Barry Guy as well as New Phonic Art 1973 with clarinetist Michel Portal and trombonist Vinko Globokar, was supposed to interest listeners in modern improvisation and link it to modern sounds by the likes of Stockhausen, Ligeti, Kagel or Nono. But there was no Free Music follow up. Furthermore, according to his thesis, ever since DG has become part of the giant Universal conglomerate its idea of contemporary sounds has become the likes of inoffensive music from composer Elena Kats-Chernin made famous in a bank commercial; and rocker Sting's noodlings; rather than the creations from those Clark would deem serious composers. READ
The Unknown Who Knew Everyone: Will Connell, Jr.
Although virtually invisible to the average Jazz fan – even those involved in the Free Jazz scene – Will Connell Jr., who died late last year at 75, was a consistent link among many strands of so-called Downtown music. In this obituary for All About Jazz, John Pietaro puts together the pieces. A saxophonist and music copyist with a radical bent, Connell was first a member and music librarian for Horace Tapscott's Union of God's Musicians and Artists Ascension big band in Los Angeles. After he moved to New York in 1975, not only was he a part of large bands led by the likes of bassist William Parker, cornetist Butch Morris and reedist Henry Threadgill , amomg many others; but his music copyist skills were frequently in demand, most famously in disseminating the score for Ornette Coleman's Skies of America. Over the years Connell's playing associates raged from rockers such as Talking Heads and James Chance to younger Free players such as saxophonist Ras Moshe and cellist Tomas Ulrich. READ
Free Music is Part of Québec's Distinct Culture says Ellwood Epps
A former Torontonian, who now divides his time between Montréal and New York City, trumpeter Ellwood Epps explains that the attraction of Canada's second city to improvising musicians isn't just the cheap rents, but also the acceptance of distinctive art, which helps to contribute to a so-called distinct society. Epps tells écho!'s Nicholas McGrath that the number of free improvisers moving to Montréal has increased four-fold over the past decade. Epps, whose experience ranges from duo gigs with alto saxophonist Yves Charuest to membership in Niolas Caloia's large Ratchet Orchestra, admits that while larger Toronto attracts musician from everywhere, most are from a single generation. Free players in Québec on the other hand, range from the very young to those players 50 and over such as drummer John Heward and alto saxophonist Jean Derome, who ply their craft with players of every age. READ
Kenny Wheeler's Long-time Canadian Links
When trumpeter Kenny Wheeler died last year at 84, most commentators mentioned that the long-time London, England-based trumpeter was Canadian born. But The Ottawa Citizen's Peter Hum points out that the Toronto-born, St. Catharines-raised Wheeler always maintained close ties to his native land. Famous for his sidemen stints with everyone from saxophonist Evan Parker's small groups and Johnny Dankworth's big band to American composer Anthony Braxton ground-breaking quartet, Wheeler influenced local musicians not only through performances at venues like the Ottawa Jazz Festival, but during the years he regularly taught at the Banff Centre's jazz workshop in Alberta. Experiencing Wheeler's music was both a "life-changing experience" and a "religious experience", says respected Toronto multi-instrumentalist Don Thompson. READ
The Critics Have Spoken: 2014
Jazz and improvised music went through many changes in 2014, with some new musicians coming to the fore and older masters maintaining their innovations. You can get some idea of that from National Public Radio's annual survey of the best albums of the year. The 140 well-informed critics managed to cite varied sessions that ranged from younger stylists including alto saxophonist Steve Lehman (at #1), tenor saxophonist Mark Turner and pianist Jason Moran to elder statesman like trumpeter Wadda Leo Smith (at #2), tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins – and of course John Coltrane's Offering as the top reissue. Follow further links to Francis Davis' analysis of the year's music as well as further breakdowns of individual ballots. The curmudgeon view from this perch however is the glaring exclusion of most non-American and experimental players from the results. READ
Mats Gustafsson Gets All Fired Up
The idea may initially have been spur-of-the-moment, but for the past couple of years, Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson's 28-member Fire Orchestra has been organized enough to gig all over Europe. Despite players living in Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, Nickelsdorf, Lund, Göteborg and Copenhagen, he tells London Jazz News' Geoff Winston that the ensemble has reached a point where it successfully mixes together influences from Prog and Psych Rock, electronic and notated contemporary music plus the Jazz-improvisations of Duke Ellington, Fletcher Henderson, Charles Mingus, John Kirby and Sun Ra. READ
Jazz, Lies and Music Streaming
Despite claims that internet streaming is a fine way to disseminate music, a debate in The New York Times presents many different points of view. Most germane are those from Jazz guitarist Marc Ribot, who points out that the greatly reduced returns musicians get from streaming verses physical sales, means making a living playing minority music becomes almost impossible. Reader comments are mixed, though professionals like baritone saxophonist Josh Sinton and guitarist Liberty Ellman confirm Ribot's experience. READ
Guess What? John Coltrane Records Still Sell Well
Following a business analysis of how Offering, the most recent reissued session by saxophonist John Coltrane, has become a best-seller and staple of the Jazz "charts", Forbes contributor Nick Messitte comes up with some contrary research in the so-called age of digital. While repeating the old shibboleth that avant-garde Jazz has a small, inbred audience, he does point out that there's the allure of physical product with booklet notes and with no downloading allowed plus there's an advantage in investing in proper niche marketing. Of course, being able to market a lost session recorded by one of Jazz's acknowledged greats can result in impressive sales as well. READ
Celebrating Leo Records on Its Real Home Turf
Earlier this year the third annual Leo Feigin Festival took place in St. Petersburg celebrating the Russian-born, London-based record company founder. As The St. Petersburg Times' Sergey Chernov points out, the festival is an outgrowth of Feigin's efforts to not only release records by Western avant-gardists like pianist Cecil Taylor and bandleader Sun Ra, but also Feigin`s long-time effort to give recording opportunities to Russian experimenters like pianist Vyacheslav Ganelin and his trio, drummer Oleg Yudanov of the Jazz Group Arkhangelsk and younger players like multi-reedist Alexey Kruglov. As Feign keeps adding to his catalogue of 800-plus releases, his keen ears for talent means that some of the younger performers, featured at the festival may soon be recording on Leo. READ
Learning On the Road from Horace Silver
While pianist Horace Silver (1928-2014), is best-known for his catchy compositions and funky playing which set the standard for Hard Bop in the 1950s and 1960s, he continued recording and touring for many years. In this reminiscence for New Music Box, trumpeter John McNeil, who has created some innovative but underrated CDs of his own, tells of touring as a sideman in Silver's quintet in the late 1970s. Silver, says McNeil, was stickler for rehearsals, being on time for a gig, keeping a musician's own problems away from the job, and unconcerned with a person's racial background. READ
Portuguese Jazz after the Revolution: Rodrigo Amado
A photographer as well as a saxophonist, Lisbon-based Rodrigo Amado tells Avant Music News' Mike Borella about the gradual flowering of Portuguese Jazz that arrived with the country's liberalizing society after 1974's peaceful, ant-fascist revolution. As part of the scene, playing with other local sound explorers such as violinist Carlos Zíngaro, Amado was also fundamental in helping to create two different record labels to record more progressive music. Today besides playing locally, he has evolved recording and/or touring partnerships with musicians like Americans, trumpeters Peter Evans and Dennis González and multi-reedist Joe McPhee, as well as Europeans such as Norwegian drummer Paal Nilssen-Love and British saxophonist Paul Dunmall. READ
Magically attracted by Free Jazz: Silke Eberhard
Starting off with a background listening to Hard Rock, Blues and big band music and playing conventional Jazz, Berlin-based alto saxophonist Silke Eberhard finally heard records of Ornette Coleman and Eric Dolphy plus tenor saxophonist Charles Gayle live and found herself drawn to Free Jazz. In this unsigned article in The Olden Retriever, she discusses her early years becoming a musician; her turn away from playing Bebop to less structured sounds; her views on the present scene of many Jazz festivals, but no mass media exposure for Jazz; and how her various groups, featuring among others, pianist Ake Takase and bassist Jan Roder, try to put their own stamp on classics by Dolphy and Coleman. READ
Discovering Pharoah Sanders' Arkansas Past
Although during the mid-1960s it may have seemed as if tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders materialized out of nowhere to add his frenzied playing to the ensembles of Sun Ra and John Coltrane, The Arkansas Times' Will Stephenson points out that the saxophonist had already established himself in his home town of Little Rock. Collecting information from local musicians, Stephenson notes that before he traveled first to Oakland, Calif., and then New York, "Farrell", as he was known, played R&B throughout the then-segregated city, studied Coltrane solos assiduously, and finally abandoned Little Rock around the time the racial situation become infamously ugly.
