Oh my goodness, what a beautiful day to kick off wedding season! Annie and Derrick got married and the gorgeous Idaho Botanical Gardens in Boise on what couldn't be a more perfect day. Even though these two love birds have already shared 8 years together and have an adorable 2 year old little boy (Derrick Jr...or "Baby Derrick"), their love for each other seems to be be stronger than ever in light of all of their history together. They both wrote beautiful vows for each other that definitely had these girls sniffling! These two make a great team and it goes to show that "when you know, you know" even when you meet at a track meet when you are just little youngins. ;-)
Thank you so much to Annie and Derrick for choosing us to document your perfect day.

In my search for relvant ressources related to Enterpise Portal development I found that it's an area that seems to lack a lot of fundamental information. For instance it's at the moment not possible to find any books describing the subject.
Therefore i figured that I would use this blog to collect some of the internet ressources that I find useful – please see links below:
- MSDN ressources on Enterprise Portal development
- on blogs.msdn.com I stumbled accross this development cookbook

Exhausted after medical management, EPRC and 3 months of pregnancy(4 Posts)
I don't know what to do with myself today. I went for my 13 week scan last Wednesday only to be told by the sonographer that the baby had no heartbeat. I felt like I had been hit by a bus. I have been feeling so sick and so tired since early June. I asked when it had happened as I still felt all my symptoms. She measured the baby and said it was 12+5 weeks. So it had only just happened. We were taken up to a ward and I was seen quickly by a registrar and offered three choices. I went for medical management of missed miscarriage as I was terrified of having a general anaesthetic as I have a two year old already to care for. I liked the idea of taking a pill there and then and getting the miscarriage started.
Then I went home to return to the hospital 48 hours later for more pills. My husband and me were in shock. We had expected to come out with our baby's scan picture but got a leaflet on missed miscarriage instead.
We went back Friday morning and I started the drugs. I knew there would be pain but I was not sure what it would be like as I had a Caesarian with my daughter as she was breech. I got pain and bleeding in the afternoon but then it went in the evening. I started the drugs again on Saturday morning. It was very frustrating as I just wanted it all over. I asked about surgery as I was getting desperate and was told that as the baby was nearly 13 weeks medical management was a better option as the baby was quite big. So we stuck it out. Suddenly at 3.30pm the pain came on in waves. I miscarried at 5pm but then the placenta wouldn't come out. I ended up having EPRC at midnight on Saturday. In the end it the surgery wasn't that bad and I was glad to have it finished. I came home Sunday morning.
But what do I do now? I have felt so ill since June and my body put so much effort into that baby and then it died anyway. It is the months of effort that are hard to deal with. The miscarriage itself was over 5 horrible days but this has been going on for months. I know it could have been worse. The baby could have died later. But it is still so hard to come to terms with. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Xxx
So sorry for your loss. There is not much you can do. You have to allow yourself to grieve, you have lost a baby. Take it easy, one day at a time. Rest, rest some more, and when you think you've had enough, rest again. Get your DH to provide cake and teas. And cuddles.
Slowly, it will get better.
Katie I'm so sorry you have lost your baby. It takes it out of you physically, on top of months of feeling rubbish from early pregnancy. Your hormones will be crashing down, and the emotional trauma also takes it's toll. If you work make sure you are signed off for a couple of weeks and that someone is looking after your DC so you can rest. You need some headspace to allow you to come to terms with the loss and grieve.
I've found it very helpful to have a little ceremony to say goodbye e.g. Plant a tree. The baby's life, however short, was important and it helps to acknowledge that.
Thanks for your kind replies. I am tempted to try to get back to 'normal' as soon as possible and just get on with things like housework and looking after DC but I will follow advice to get some rest and let other people help. xxx

The One Thing White Writers Get Away With, But Authors of Color Don't
By Gracie Jin
Critics are dumbfounded by the fact that Bill Cheng, a Chinese American from Queens, New York, wrote his debut novel about rural Mississippi. Would a white writer have received the same response?


text: I purhased my 59-AVi earlier this summer (early June) and foolishly decided to go through an online e-tailer which offers region-free mods. I wanted a top-of-the-line unit for my new H.T. and the 59-AVi by most people's standards and reviews is supposed to be referance playback so I was very much looking forward to it. I took a 3 year extended warranty on the modified unit at this e-tailer whom I'd purchased a mid-range JVC DVD player from approx. 1.5-2 years earlier. I've never had a problem with this older player before, it was excellent quality, so I trusted this company to offer the same for my newly modified Pio Elite. Anyways, to make a long story short... I was unabale to connect and run the player all summer as I didn't have any viewing monitor or source - I was waiting for my DLP projector to be installed and my in-wall speakers weren't in place yet, so up until 3 weeks ago it sat in it's packaged box, unopened and exactly as I received it. Well 3 weeks ago my dealer/installer finally came through and got to work on my H.T. setup. He built me a nice little cabinet to house my amps, video scaler and DVD player. Everything was in place and hooked up and it took a full day to do all the installations and everything. The only thing was, my HD Leeza video scaler was not hooked up yet because they were having some minor issues with the Arcam amps and it was late in the day and there was still more tweaking to be donw with the pj as far as calibration... so we left it at that and they told me they'd be back in about a week and a half (they had a meeting out of town). No problem. At least my Home Theater was finally setup and I could watch movies. So I finally had my chance to test out the player... and it didn't look too hot! The problem was, I didn't attribute this to the player yet because I figured they still had a lot more adjustments to do and the leeza wasn't connecxted yet so it wasn't outputting a true native signal and I was told they would be back to perfect everything. Fine, I made do for two weeks and watched my movies in lesser quality. Here's the thing... They came back today to put hook up my scaler and put the finnishing touches on my setup and just for fun, I asked them to install my older JVC player as well because I noticed that for some reason... my new Pioneer was having a bit of minor issues with layer changes. It would freeze up for half a second which is something I never experienced with my JVC and didn't much like. Well they hooked up the JVC and got my HD Leeza running and calibrated both players and the works. Now HERE'S where the problem is... My relatively cheap $500 JVC player plays BETTER than my $1000 + top of the line Pioneer Elite player!!! I'm extremely angry about this and don't know if it's a faulty unit, if the region-free modification screwed it up or if the player just stinks! It looks as though there are serious interlacing issues! There is an EXTREME edginess to the picture! Moving images very briefly break up into lines and to the discerning eye, the overall pq is just blotchy and ugly! It's extremely noticeable on animated features, moreso than other films. Even animated menu screens break up and look ugly! How can this be?? My JVC is now connected as well and the image is absolutely pristine and beautiful! But I am angry that I am not seeing the quality from my $1,000 + DVD player over an older JVC not even half the price! Plus I'm even more upset because the sound is greatly improved on the Pioneer Elite, but I'm not going to watch DVD's on it that makes my picture look crappy and cheap like there are interlacing issues! Has anyone ever heard of this before or ever experienced something similar and what could this be the result of? Is it possible that the Pioneer Elite 59-AVi is just all hype and really doesn't offer optimal DVD playback afterall? I'm sorry for the very long post but I really hope somebody reads through this and offers some feedback! Thanks in advance!

Plot thickens with Mossad, US and Swiss taking blame
Conspiracy theories about 9/11 are growing and getting more bizarre, writes Jon Ungoed-Thomas
So says Kristen Breitweiser, the widow of a man killed in the attack on the World Trade Center. But for millions of people around the globe, the answer is clear: the US government knew the attacks were coming and allowed them to happen. The only mystery is whether the perpetrators were Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, or the Saudis. Or the Swiss. Or possibly even the Canadians.
In the weird world of the conspiracy theorists, all those countries and more have been implicated in the 9/11 attacks.
- The twin towers, you see, had been rigged with explosives to ensure their collapse. No jet crashed into the Pentagon: it was a missile instead. And, of course, President George W Bush knew everything beforehand.

When Will it End?
When Will it End?
As if it wasn't enough that the OUSA (Otago University Students Association) executive spent $750,000 on the UBS (University Book Store) deal without telling their members let alone asking them.
As if it wasn't enough that they have arguably acted unconstitutionally in doing this.
Now they have been caught with their pants down, blabbing about the amount of the purchase in direct violation of a confidentiality clause in their contract with Whitcoulls to members without taking the precaution of requiring these members to sign confidentiality agreements or even cautioning them to not disclose the amount to non members before telling them.
Not surprisingly a case of chinese whispers is now sweeping accross the Otago campus. While the student association may have only told a handful of members that they spent the best part of a million dollars of their money on a bookstore without asking them, those students have told other students, who have told other students and so on and so on, til inevitably, which should have been obvious, non-members heard about it and now its in the papers.
At about this point, one would think, that the right course of action might be to step up to the plate and admit they stuffed up, that OUSA had no right to spend $750,000 on UBS shares without consulting their members and acted arguably against their own Constitution - at the very least this action smacks of inaccountability at the worst it was illegal. One would think, that the fact this amount got into the media as result of the President telling students without having the foresight to have their confidentiality assured would mean he would come forth and take the flak for this negligence, it would be the honourable thing to do.
But no, the President is now emailing the poor students he spilled the beans too, after the fact, and threatening them with legal action in an attempt to gag dissidents.
A student we spoke to, Matthew Flannagan, shared the contents of one of these emails from the President:
"As OUSA potentially incurs a liability for disclosing to non-students, it may be interpreted that that liability also extends to any member that does not respect the confidentiality clause of the agreement.
Please - keep this to yourselves. If this goes out into the media, then OUSA will investigate whether that liability is in fact held by the individual who disclosed."
This threat came despite Mr Flannagan stating to the President, when asked why he wanted to know the amount, "because other people have asked me what it was and I want to be able to give an accurate informed answer to them." The President deemed this response appropriate and proceeded to tell this student the amount, then had the cheek to send the above threat.
Mr Flannagan also added "the President said to me that the UBS agreement allowed him [the President] to tell individual members, and that now that he had begun to do so, he expected that the figure would get out."
So the Executive makes an ill advised purchase and blows student money unconstitutionally. The President tells students the amount of the said purchase but fails to adequately protect the association by not having them sign confidentiality agreements and not even cautioning them to not divulge the information and admitting he knew that the figure would get leaked and now, after realising his mistake, he is going to try to pin his negligence on the poor students, whose money he spent without asking them on a contract he broke the terms of, if they refuse to remain silent.
Student Choice would like to point out that it does not necessarily follow that the fact we are in posession of the President's email seeking the silencing of the members he spoke to, the fact we have statements from some of these students means that any of these students were the source of the leak who told us the figure of $750,000. We will not reveal who the members are who brought this amount to our attention as we will not assist OUSA in their construction of a scapegoat to take the rap for what they have done.
If the President did not want
this amount to get into the media there were prudent steps
that he could have taken to protect the association and he
did not take them. It is not the fault of his constituents
that he has breached the confidentiality of the contract he
signed ultra vires.

the door that lays before him opens and a man step out .
the man lets out a light smile before he sits on the other side of the 1st man .

" i know who you are" Merkel says " your that tec with the rich bitch for a girl " he giggles.
Corrigan ignores the insult " so you have quite the job don't you , i didn't think that you would ever be took down but here you are " he says.
" yeah and i wouldn't have been if it weren't for that fucker in the gas-mask " Merkel says .
Corrigan bursts in to laughter " haha you mean you expect me to believe that the sandman came for you "
" oh i wouldn't be saying that if i were you " Merkel says " hes very real and he has eyes as black as the night sky " .
" yeah right " Corrigan says dusting down his short black hair " oh yeah and next you will be telling me that a guy will dress up as a bat 25 years from now"
" oh fu-" Merkel is cut off as two men drag him to his cell " you and Swift should start a club " Corrigan yells .
Corrigan smiles and picks up his phone and dills the number of his best friend and childhood crush Dinah Drake.
" hello ? " Dinah asks " is this Jim ?" she asks nicely with a slight Irish hint to her voice .
" yup that's me " Corrigan says " i was going to ask if you would like to come with me and the wife to the boxing match tonight "
" sure i would love to " , " we could ask Wesley to come too " she says.
" that would be nice " Corrigan says " the three of us were so close in high school ".
" yup i allways found it cute that both of you had a thing for me" she giggles.
" anyway i got to go bye " Corrigan says kindly with a blush on his face .
" bye " Dinah says then she makes a kissing sound and hangs up.
meanwhile ...
a thug runs down into the dark city with sweat running down his face .
but he looks up to see a man in a gasmask and hat stares down at him from the roof top above .
" oh go-" he says as a gas ball hits the floor and blows up .
the man in the mask picks up the body and ties it up for the cops .
" happy dreaming " he says to the body .
he runs home and unmasks .
He puts on his casual cloves and runs to the boxing match that he was invited to .
[ At the boxing match ]
The three long time friends standout out side the boxing ring as they look out for Wesley Dodds .
Once Wesley gets to them they all sit down and watch as the main event steps on the ring .
" Ted's is the master at this " one man says .
" Yeah he could kick anyones ass " a woman says .
As the four watch Ted grant fight his way to the top Dinah moves her head in to Wesley 's chest and smiles.
In a dark room a man looks at the screen that lays before him and smiles .
" When the sky turns purple " he says to himself " when the sky turns purple"
He says as the screen shows four men that have been chosen for his plans.

Switching to Diet Soda Probably Won't Help You Cut Calories
Ditching sugary drinks is a smart move for your health, not to mention your waistline—an average can of soda packs in about 150 calories and 39 grams of sugar (that's over 9 teaspoons). Switching to diet may not help your calorie-cutting efforts much, though: A new study suggests that at the end of the day, you'll probably still consume the same number of total calories overall. Scientists are still learning… Read More »

You Know You're an Influence When…
Someone chats me up on one of the local dating boards and goes off on a random rant about how so many people seem to come visit his profile but no one ever seems to hit him up. He blames it on queerfolk wanting Superman that lives a block away…
I responded with:
One of the biggest problems with profiles comes from the way people try to make their profiles all – for lack of a better word – hetero norm. Add to the fact that many of us here (and yes I admit I'm one of them) comes from the experience of personal ads in local rags and our inherent ability to try to read between the lines. Things end up getting translated from one thing to another and whatever charm one might have aimed for is translated to something completely different. Why do you think I wrote my profile the way I did? For people to translate the scary to terrifying and the good to bland. It would take someone of exception character to realize the truth of the paradox.
I then went on to say:
I can tell you the fact I didn't respond was because your six things you can't live without didn't include coffee. With coffee not being on the top six (or some explanation as I had) I wasn't sure whether you'd fully appreciate one of the few vices I live by. I also try to avoid people that live next door; instead looking farther away from the New England area. You see, I am a living example of, "writers – when they're alone, they're prophetic; when they're with people, they're pathetic. They're just too in their heads. " I am not in a rush to meet and have coffee. I like learning about people from their writing instead of face to face as I can learn more by what they write about than what they project.
The thing is that no sooner than he read my response, he updated his profile to include the hows and the whys. He even went so far as to accentuate the one thing I didn't bring up: his height (I might get to that in a minute). He re-wrote it to being a little less (what I call) hetero-norm. He added elements that people don't often talk about: spirituality… I mean sure I've seen plenty of people professing one form of Christianity or another, but not so much Buddhism or other spiritual paths. Of course the price for this wisdom and this change of approach with his profile is he stopped talking to me and then went to blocking me.
While I expected most of his response to the advice I had given him (stopping the conversation and perhaps even the block), it got me to thinking about the conversation I had with @JayTheManDater over on his blog on WordPress. While I found myself relieved that the conversation didn't lead to embarrassing and potentially shallow admissions on my part (I am looking for someone taller than me, not shorter), at the same time I find myself modestly disappointed not even a "thank you" was given for what I said… After all this man was 12 years older than I was and was definitely raised to know what manners were…. It did also give me a giggle on how he had admitted that part of the reason why he moved away from Boston was because of the Non-Bostonian Hate that he would get for being from Boston. Why the giggle? Because Rhode Islanders call people from the state north of ours "Massholes" and it struck me ironic that he did precisely the thing that causes Rhode Islanders to call them that…
It also got me thinking about how manners in the Tundras of New England have changed so much. As a world traveler, I continue to be amazed about how people around here avoid anything and everything with strangers that require manners or politeness to be used. The older people (I'm talking Octogenarian) might nod in your direction or say "hello" as you walk by… My age and younger positively avoid it. During my daily walk I've watched people ignore me, look away, sometimes even so much as cross the street in order to avoid being remotely civil.
The only response I have for queerfolk here is, "and you wonder why I look outside of the area?"
Still though, it makes this old queer proud. I might not be thanked, I might even be ignored… But at least people hear what I'm saying and making use of it. And with that, I'm off. Time for some inspirational music and to read through some of my news sites before it's time to take the Monster Child out for his afternoon walk. Until the next time.

I was at a sleepover at my BFF's house and we were playing truth or dare. I got dared to run down the street in my jammies, with curlers in my and bunny slippers on my feet. It was late and there was no one on the street, so I decided to do it. Right as I got to the end of the street, my crush turned the corner walking his dog. The second he saw me, he turned right back around and walked away. To this day, he still will not talk to me.

Michael Menger has been writing and directing for over 15 years. He has extensive experience work-shopping original plays, as well as giving detailed and constructive feedback to playwrights during their creative journeys.
Inspired by numerous physical theater and modern dance companies Michael founded The Really BIG Dance Company in 1991. Dance pieces were created collectively and the company got a reputation for their unique sense of humor. (Most famous was the legendary dance piece: Cows.) The company was incorporated as a non-profit in 1995 under the new title The Really BIG Production Company Michael served as Artistic Director until 2001 when he chose to leave the Northwest to pursue a career in New York City.
While in Portland, Michael had the opportunity to direct opera, musicals and straight plays in a variety of venues; from hole in the wall theatres to the prestigious Portland Center for the Performing Arts in Portland, Oregon and the Pantages Theater in Tacoma, Washington. Regardless of the locale, Michael quickly became known for his inventive staging and highly physical productions.
In additon to directing and choreography, Michael has written several plays including, Tracks, The Really BIG Dance Company Goes To Hell!, The Holiday Show, The Pirate Show!, Out West!, and most recently Perfection, which he wrote, produced and directed for his wife Kellie. Michael and his wife are currently putting the finishing touches on their much awaited musical extravaganza: The Really BIG Pirate Show!

Douglas and Gordon asked their staff to sum up why they enjoy working for D&G and every single person cited at least one of the following reasons:
Their employees are encouraged to progress and are always promoted from within. The Lettings Director, Virginia Skilbeck, started her D&G career as a Secretary…it could be you, one day!
They retain our staff because they invest in them and reward them for their hard work. D&G people are good at what they do and perhaps most importantly, enjoy it and take pride in knowing they work for one of the best agencies in the industry – in 2009, D&G was voted Supreme UK Estate Agency and 2nd in 2010.
Douglas and Gordon believe their people set them apart. Have you got what it takes?

The Warriors have made no secret about how much they like C.J. Watson. General manager Larry Riley did what he could to keep Orlando from getting its hands on Watson, who was a restricted free agent.
But, it might be a good idea for Watson to get back on the court and remind the Warriors why they value him so much. That's because third-year guard Acie Law is making a strong bid for Watson's minutes.
"I'm not really worried about it," Watson said. "I'm just trying to get healthy."
Watson, who passed up the Warriors' three-year, $4.5 million offer and settled for a one-year deal for $1 million, is expected to play tonight at Sacramento. He hasn't played much this preseason, thanks to a sprained right medial collateral ligament, which he sustained on the first day of training camp. He got just less than six minutes in Monday's loss at the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring four points on 2-for-3 shooting with two assists.
Law, meanwhile, has been gaining favor with coach Don Nelson. He has 29 points and five rebounds in 38 minutes during two preseason games, both against the Los Angeles Lakers. Using his strength and physical style of play, Law showed Nelson he could fill a niche.
"Because we're just so overloaded at point guard," Nelson said, "I told him to concentrate more on playing small forward for me. Actually, he's a pretty good defender. He's strong and pretty physical, so I can use him there a little bit, especially if I have an injury."
At 6-foot-3, 202 pounds, Law would no doubt be the smallest point forward in the NBA, and one of the tiniest ones in history.
Law's transformation started in Anaheim when guard Monta Ellis sprained his ankle and was forced out of the game. Nelson played Law with rookie guard Stephen Curry, with Law getting matched up with Lakers guard Kobe Bryant.
Law was able to hold his ground with Bryant and wasn't afraid to give a hard foul. Since then, Nelson has had Law guard swingman Stephen Jackson in practice.
"I look at it as an opportunity to get a chance to play," Law said. "It's a challenge. I look forward to that. Jack is one of top players in the league. It's fun. It's bettering my game. I'm trying to make him better, being hard, fouling him, making it tough for him. It's a lot of fun."
Ellis and Curry figure to get most of the point-guard minutes. That leaves little for a third point guard. Watson, because of his ability to score and his understanding of the offense, seemed a lock as that third point guard. But Nelson said Law is challenging Watson.
"My knee feels better," Watson said. "Come game time, whatever minutes I get, I just have to take advantage of them. I've just got to go out there and earn my spot."

Lots of variety in this Set!
There's some great finger-poppin' and boody-shakin' magic, by the likes of James Brown, Mandrill, and Jeff Beck.
There's a whole mini-set of "my lover done left me" soul blues, featuring the amazing new talent La'Porsha Renae.
And in the middle of the Set, there's a run of magnificent, adventurous, exploratory jazz, beginning with the Pastorius/Metheny collaboration, right through to Moffett's amazing "For You".
Nothing to do but to leave it with you! Welcome to my new followers from California and Wisconsin. And Thanks to whoever it is that's spread the word on Jazz Gumbo thoughout Japan! I LOVE it!

Okay, I admit it – One of the main incentives to add the last two cuts was so that the 'newest' music in the Set wouldn't be from the late eighties. This issue (or, more likely, non-issue) of vintage has been a small, niggling background concern of mine from the start of Jazz Gumbo.
You see, I never set out to do an 'oldies' show. I did set out with a focus on vinyl, that being the heart of my personal collection, and my lifelong portal into the world of music. I was so attached to vinyl in the early nineties that as it was phased out, in favor of the cd, I essentially stopped buying new music. For some years, I wasn't going out much to hear live jazz, nor listening to jazz on the radio (this was before Jazz FM was born in Toronto), nor consuming jazz via the internet (having survived computer-free until '98).
I spent those years listening to my albums at home, and continuing to grow my collection by patronizing the many great used record stores – in Toronto and elsewhere – as well as through the generosity of many friends over the years, who thought of me when they gave up their vinyl collections.
My guess is that I have about two thousand albums by now. It's not huge by the standards of collectors, but it's a lot of music! Enough to last me the rest of my life, if it came to that. Because I'm always discovering and re-discovering magic within the scope, depth and variety of what I already have.
But of course, new artists continue to come along, and to redefine the music. One of the first cd's I bought, when my resistance to the form finally gave way, was "Songbook" by Kenny Garrett. Another was Erykah Badu's "Baduism". A short while later, I came across Brian Blade's first "Fellowship" album in a remainder bin. These and other works tied in to some of the last music I bought in vinyl form years earlier, such as Charnett Moffett's "Net Man" and Jack DeJohnette's "Parallel Realities".
With Jazz Gumbo, I aim to share and glory in the amazing wealth within - and heir to - the Jazz traditions. I've stretched back as far as the thirties, and veered as wide as to include classical and country music. But I don't want it to be all history. I want to keep up, and show how the roots of Jazz extend into the most dynamic sounds of today, as well as those of yesterday. So one thing this work of love has done for me is driven me to explore more of the music of the last two decades that had slipped by me. I try to include some of it in each show. But sometimes, I get so caught up in the satchel of vinyl I bring into the studio with me that including anything from this century becomes an afterthought.
It's sometimes occurred to me that maybe I ought to just stick entirely to the vinyl, and forego the newer music…leave it to others. But then again, I never intended for this show to be about oldies. I play what I play here because of how very alive it is, how fresh and original, whenever it was recorded. Ultimately, I believe I want to keep it that way.
Much Love!

On balance, this Set is a bit Freer than most. That is, a lot of the music strays beyond the conventions of the mainstream. And this freer music comes in lots of variations.
The earliest selections are the opening and closing numbers from Coltrane. The "Kulu Sé Mama" album was recorded in '65 but not released until two years later. It is a bridge between 'Trane's earlier work, which stuck to mainstreams structures, to later work which is far more abstract than anything in this Set. They are perfect numbers for introducing the avant garde, "Welcome" especially so, based as it is on the birthday song we all know, but transformed into something far richer and emotive.
The Sonny Greenwich and Jazzmeia Horn numbers are quite accessible, also. The melody and chord structures are there, but relaxed a bit, leaving more room for stretching. One way to look at free jazz (and this is only one way), is to think of improvisation as not just happening within the structure of a melody; instead, the structure itself becomes improvised. Hancock's tune takes this a little further.
The Christian Scott piece is free in a different way, doing so much with tone and atmosphere, and Gary Thomas does something similar. One of the pieces I really love is Braxton's offering. I freely admit that a lot of Braxton's music is beyond me – I can't enjoy it. But there are others, like this one, that floor my. This piece is so dynamic, so driving and insistent, that it just barges beyond any analytics my mind wants to throw up and gets to my core. And I keep listening to Braxton for the occasional number that will get to me in a similar way.
In a real sense, I think that gets to the heart of it: music that carries me somewhere emotionally or viscerally, whether I "understand" it or not. So much of the music of Miles Davis (who isn't represented here, but should be) has been like this for me. From the time I first listened to him, in the late sixties, I could never really catch up to him. "Spanish Key" was the number that pulled me into the "Bitches Brew". But by the time I 'got' it, and went out and bought his next thing – "Live/Evil" in this case – he was into a whole other sound, and I had to un-learn what I expected of him before I could 'get' that. And it was like that right to the end in my experience of listening to Miles.
I hope there's plenty in this Set for you to love, to be tantalized by, to open up to. Next Set, we'll slip back into a lower Earth orbit.

As promised last week, this Set has an example of Ella Fitzgerald at her scat-singing best. Part of the lore surrounding Ella is that she often forgot her lyrics, and this may be a factor that got her started in scatting. But on this cut, it sounds as though bypassing the words was intentional. She just dives in and goes for it. And what a job. Who knows the name of the tune bop classic she quotes?
Norman Connors was a jazz drummer who ultimately gained his greatest fame as a producer and arranger of smooth, pop and funk jazz pieces. But to me, his greatest work came with three albums he produced in the early seventies: "Dance of Magic", "Dark of Light" and "Love From the Sun". They are wonderful, edgy, fluid works of progressive jazz magic, which I've played from often during the run of Jazz Gumbo. They feature great work from casts of great musicians, including Herbie Hancock, Gary Bartz, Carlos Garnett, Buster Williams and Dee Dee Bridgewater.
Forgive the poor sound quality of the Pharoah Sanders piece. I'll be looking to replace it with a clearer, crisper version soon.

Ella Fitzgerald would have had her one hundredth birthday in late April, but she missed that landmark by a few years, having died at age 89. Her road to becoming the First Lady of Jazz began when, at age seventeen, an orphaned, struggling drop-out, she won the Amateur Night contest in front of the mercilessly judgmental crowd at Harlem's Apollo Theatre.
What I have always loved most about Ella's voice is its brightness and clarity. It rings like a bell. "Stairway" doesn't show off one of her other distinguishing characteristics – her scat singing. I'll present a great example of that next week.
Adam Makowicz is a musician I've had the privilege of hearing up close and personal. He performed a spontaneous tribute to his wife Joanna, at a small gathering in Toronto's Polish consulate one evening. What the man does with 88 keys is amazing. I believe he rivals the Tatums and the Petersons for dexterity and brilliance.
Tonight's is a great Set. I hope you'll take it all in and enjoy it.

Ah, Yes! I feel I'm back in the groove with this Set!
The works that are newest to me in this Set are the offerings by BadBadNotGood and Nguyên Lê, and I LOVE both of their albums. Both of these artists create unique sounds with great dynamism.
There are two offerings that have strong socio-political messages. Gil Scott-Heron's "Message", from '94 is aimed at a generation of rappers notorious for its misogyny and glorification of macho violence. He counsels rappers to know their history and to resist being tools of fear and destruction in their communities.
And Fela Kuti's "Zombie" from '76 was a condemnation of the oppressive military government in his native Nigeria. This song was an immediate sensation and a provocation. In response the military attacked and burned the community he founded, beat him severely and threw his mother from an upper window, fatally injuring her.
It's interesting that though the situation in Nigeria was specific and local, Fela's music was a powerful, galvanizing force world-wide. His music, and the brilliant social criticism of Gil Scott-Heron, lives on.

To be honest, I'm not all that happy with this Set. It's partly the selections and partly the way I've put them together. And I have only myself to fault.
Jazz Gumbo started out as a way of sharing my favorite music with anyone who would have it. Over time, it's become more of a project of exploration, as I've sought to go beyond music I already know and love, to discover new artists and new sounds.
Great music often takes awhile to seep in, to open up new channels of listening so that it can be heard. Much of my favorite music took some time to become my favorite music. And I was too hurried with this set, and I included too many pieces I haven't lived with long enough to know if I will love them. I don't really know how this Set sounds to me, let alone to you. Not that it won't always be changing, because it will.
Anyway, we'll learn together whether this Set is worthy, whether it works. It will take time.

I'm LOVIN' that Hair! Lovin' the music too. Courtesy of Valerie June, one of the new voices contributing to Jazz Gumbo this week. Not Jazz, but definitely worthy of inclusion in the stew, for the bluesy, folksy soul she brings.
It's interesting to me how musical categories morph over time. How to categorize what Valerie June is doing? Or Esbjorn Svennson? Or Michael White? Or Kendrick Lamar?
What is Jazz, anyway? Not the same as it used to be. What's Pop? What in the world is Adult Contemporary? I don't know - don't really care. Not really important. I think the usefulness of the labels is in helping you to find what you want to hear, and maybe in carrying you from that sound to another that you may not yet know that you want to hear. Exploration by association, you could call it. Like picking up some Pharoah Sanders because I heard him backing up Coltrane, then getting something by Norman Connors or Joe Bonner because they played with Pharoah, and then....
Music is a wondrous world to explore. And so vast. Enjoy this little corner of it. Then take another step.

Oscar Peterson's "Hymn to Freedom" is a gorgeous piece of piano playing, which evokes both the social and political aims of the Civil Rights movement and the spirituality that fueled it. It's the final cut of Peterson's most classic album. Forgive the scratchiness of the sound. I played it off of a very well used piece of old vinyl.
Lately, more of the music you hear on Jazz Gumbo is coming from digital files, but most of the older, soulful tunes are coming off of albums I've been carrying around for a lot of years. It's a wonder that some of them still play at all. Wither's "I Don't Know" is an old favorite, from an album I bought while in high school, back in the early seventies.
I was turned onto Baird Hersey, whose album cover is featured this week, by the proprietor of a used record store in Cambridge, Massachusetts. I never saw Hersey live, but among his large ensemble were musicians I often saw in local clubs, which was surely a reason I bought this and two other of Hersey's excellent albums.
I once caught Terence Blanchard in Boston, in a concert in which he got into a cutting contest with rival trumpeter Jon Faddis. Faddis "won", in that he was the flashier of the two, and hit a few blistering high notes that drove the audience wild. But it was Blanchard who came with the rich tone, and the beautiful, melodic lines. What a show that was!

The opening theme for Jazz Gumbo is "Music Evolution" by Buckshot Lefonque.

One of my main inspiration for doing Jazz Gumbo is Eric Jackson, a long time jazz deejay in Boston. I listened to him while I was in college, and even more after I dropped out and spent the next few years in Cambridge, working odd jobs and thinking about being a writer. I say 'thinking about' because in truth, I did a lot more thinking and dreaming than I did actual writing.
I had a beast of a 1940's era, cast iron, Royal typewriter that I bought in a pawnshop in Central Square. I'd pound away at it in spurts of an hour or so at a time, but that was mostly tortuous. I hadn't figured out yet about letting my work sit for awhile before critiquing it, and I also had no appreciation for the importance of rewriting and editing. I think I believed that most great writing came via first drafts and on waves of inspiration. Consequently, I was mostly horrified at the lack of quality in what came through that Royal typewriter. And because of that, I spent a lot more time reading science fiction, smoking herb and listening to music than I did improving my craft.
Eric's show was phenomenal. He played such quality music, and such a variety of music. I was heavily into fusion during those years, and Eric certainly played his share of Return to Forever and Weather Report. But what I most remember was that he introduced me to music I was largely unfamiliar with, and a great deal of that was the music of Old Masters whose work I thought was dull and stagnant.
I can well remember some of the great music I heard for the first time on Eric's show. He introduced me to Horace Silver via a re-issue of some of his 1950's era work, titled "Sterling Silver". And he got me really hearing Mingus for the first time when he played the entire 28 minute long "Cumbia & Jazz Fusion". It was also on his show that I first heard cuts from Joni Mitchell's "Mingus" album. And the great album "Gifts" by Michael Gregory Jackson that I've raved about, but which remains virtually unknown.
Eric comes to mind tonight because he often played Eddie Jefferson. I always loved what Jefferson does, but I never had any of his music. (Except for a couple of great duets with Dexter Gordon that I've played on JG). Blame it on the odd jobs, and on the habit of mostly buying my jazz albums in second hand stores. Jefferson's music just never popped up there. And even when I bought new music, I never ventured into the sections set aside for vocalists. Now, for the first time, I have a subscription to an online music service and am exploring artists and albums at will. And Eddie Jefferson was one of the first artists whose work I sought out.
Tonight's "I've Got The Blues" is a taste of Eddie, and more will follow. I'm glad about the music service. On the down side, I'm now no longer only playing music that I own copies of. I liked that. On the other hand, I'm being exposed to more music than I've ever had access to, and I'm passing lots of it on to you.
Be well, good People. Live, Listen & Love, and I'll be with you again soon!

Breath of Life
We can wonder why we are here. Maybe it's an accident, maybe a mistake? The truth is we are here because of destiny. No one needs to validate us or the call on our life, because God made us in His image on purpose for a purpose.
God breathed life into us. He plucked us from eternity and placed us on the planet to flourish. We lost that breath of life and we lost our way. We muddled through as best we could but our whole world began to wither and decay.
God loved us so much that He couldn't leave us separated from Him. His love left Heaven for earth to live among us, die as us and be raised from the dead. Jesus defeated death so we could have life, that endless abundant life we had in the beginning.
Now we can have the exciting destiny we were made for. As we commune with our beautiful Lord Jesus every day in prayer, we can be fueled with grace, again and again, for the journey of overcoming adversity, impacting others for the Kingdom of God; and leaving a legacy on the planet.
John 3:16 (MSG) - "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.
