2022: The Year in Green’s Party

This has been another great year on this blog of me sharing a thought or two about pop culture! This was a year I needed pop culture, entertainment and escapism more than ever. I got to do so many awesome things and I can’t believe that in early 2023 this blog turns 10! Here are some of the highlights of 2022:

TCM Stands in Solidarity with Black Lives

Turner Classic Movies stands with our Black colleagues, talent, storytellers and fans — and all affected by senseless violence and social oppression, because we believe Black Lives Matter. Our parent company, WarnerMedia, is supporting these organizations that work to advance social justice: 

Color Of Change 

Equal Justice Initiative 

The National Action Network 

The National Urban League 

NAACP Legal Defense Fund 

National Center for Civil and Human Rights 

WarnerMedia is expanding its content innovation program OneFifty with additional funding to seed issue-focused creative ideas from communities who often go unheard. We are proud to be part of an organization committed to change. We know words and social posts alone are not enough, and we pledge to hold ourselves accountable and take meaningful action. One of the ways TCM is doing that is by amplifying the work of Black voices.

You can also find previous, in-depth conversations to learn more about the history of Black representation in classic Hollywood on our YouTube Channel or in our book Hollywood Black, written by prominent film historian and author Donald Bogle. The following films are airing this month on Turner Classic Movies that showcase different aspects of Black life.

Woody Allen And His New Orleans Jazz Band – Wild Man Blues

“Woody Allen’s New Orleans jazz is a combination of mournful blues and lively syncopation played with raw spontaneity. His clarinet tone is downright edgy in the treble clef, although his low-register work is more soulful. He affects a decorative style with a vibrato frequently wide enough to drive a Mack truck through.

Five of the 15 tracks are from the books of past greats. Louis Armstrong’s “Hear Me Talkin’ to Ya” is a languid lament, Lillian Hardin Armstrong’s “Lonesome Blues” is delivered in an upbeat stop-tempo, and King Oliver’s “Dippermouth Blues” is rendered slow and easy. There’s musical breadth and depth to charts like Fats Waller’s “Come On and Stomp, Stomp, Stomp,” the prayer-like “Lead Me Savior,” and the title track. Eddie Davis (“The Manhattan Minstrel”) is the musical director, vocalist, and banjo player with the seven-piece band and pull-out trio.

Part of a tandem production, this CD features re-recorded selections from the video documentary of the same name. The session was played without rehearsal in a Manhattan church, the documentary’s music supplemented by additional tracks.” – PATRICIA MYERS/JazzTimes.

COUCH TOUR: EDDIE HENDERSON with Donald Harrison, George Cables, Gerald Cannon, and Lenny White, SMOKE JAZZ CLUB, 9 SEPTEMBER 2022

Another stand alone “couch tour” for a set in real time. If the previous night’s challenging trio was rewarding albeit work, this one was a more typical end of the week of the week celebration.

Of course, I last saw EDDIE HENDERSON more than 50 years ago as part of Herbie Hancock’s glorious Mwandishi band at a classy Kansas City club. He was, with Benny Maupin and Julian Priester, part of a traditional palette of horns for Hancock to color a churning fusion rhythm section—except Buster Williams played acoustic bass masterfully and Billy Hart, as I’ve rediscovered through the streams of lockdown and beyond, still has subtle chops. So does Lenny White who also paid fusion dues with Return to Forever but contributed to last night’s success.

Henderson has a brighter tone than Jeremy Pelt and Josh Evans who have been my recent trumpet heroes. He can play with force, but his lines are rich and don’t rely on high register pyrotechnics. Still he makes for an interesting contrast with his long time partner, altoist Donald Harrison who brings a grit and New Orleans slinkiness. Henderson swings just fine but he has a different and slightly simpler relation to the beat than Harrison. Still they make a very successful team.

Henderson has released two albums for Smoke with Harrison and the immaculate Kenny Barron. Well, much as I would have loved to see Barron too, it has been too long since I have crossed streaming paths with George Cables who fed both horns rich responses—melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic—with an appealing exuberance. They did his appealingly intricate Why Not, but he/they had standards like Surrey with the Fringe On Top, Born to Be Blue, and another show tune I couldn’t place to dig into.

Straight ahead stuff but not tame, just by now elder statesment (Henderson will turn 82 this year) keeping the craft alive. Harrison and Gerald Cannon, an implacable rock on bass, are a bit younger than me, so elder statesmen age, and Cables and White are in their 70s. They still swing hard even as they are in jackets and ties with ball or thinning hair lines and not dashikis and Afros.

But Miles Davis and his immediate acolytes like Hancock didn’t let the jazz chops fall away during the heyday of fusion even if others took short cuts. Much of it is forgettable, but the players who came back from the brink continue to make a difference.

And we were all young once. I should know.

Gil Evans Out Of The Cool Rar

Out of the Cool, released in 1960, was the first recording Gil Evans issued after three straight albums with Miles Davis -- Sketches of Spain being the final one before this. Evans had learned much from Davis about improvisation, instinct, and space (the trumpeter learned plenty, too, especially about color, texture, and dynamic tension). Evans orchestrates less here, instead concentrating on the rhythm section built around Elvin Jones, Charlie Persip, bassist Ron Carter, and guitarist Ray Crawford. The maestro in the piano chair also assembled a crack horn section for this date, with Ray Beckinstein, Budd Johnson, and Eddie Caine on saxophones, trombonists Jimmy Knepper, Keg Johnson, and bass trombonist Tony Studd, with Johnny Coles and Phil Sunkel on trumpet, Bill Barber on tuba, and Bob Tricarico on flute, bassoon, and piccolo. The music here is of a wondrous variety, bookended by two stellar Evans compositions in 'La Nevada,' and 'Sunken Treasure.' The middle of the record is filled out by the lovely standard 'Where Flamingos Fly,' Kurt Weill-Bertolt Brecht's 'Bilbao Song,' and George Russell's classic 'Stratusphunk.' The sonics are alternately warm, breezy, and nocturnal, especially on the 15-plus-minute opener which captures the laid-back West Coast cool jazz feel juxtaposed by the percolating, even bubbling hot rhythmic pulse of the tough streets of Las Vegas. The horns are held back for long periods in the mix and the drums pop right up front, Crawford's solo -- drenched in funky blues -- is smoking. When the trombones re-enter, they are slow and moaning, and the piccolo digs in for an in the pocket, pulsing break. Whoa.

Out of the Cool, released in 1960, was the first recording Gil Evans issued after three straight albums with Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain being the final one before this. Evans had learned much from Davis about improvisation, instinct, and space (the trumpeter learned plenty, too, especially about color, texture, and dynamic tension). Gil Evans discography and songs: Music profile for Gil Evans, born 13 May 1912. Genres: Progressive Big Band, Cool Jazz, Jazz. Albums include Out of the Cool, The Individualism of Gil Evans, and The Gil Evans Orchestra Plays the Music of Jimi Hendrix.

Things are brought back to the lyrical impressionism Evans is most well known for at the beginning of 'Where Flamingos Fly.' Following a four-note theme on guitar, flute, tuba, and trombone, it comes out dramatic and blue, but utterly spacious and warm. The melancholy feels like the tune 'Summertime' in the trombone melody, but shifts toward something less impressionistic and more expressionist entirely by the use of gentle dissonance by the second verse as the horns begin to ratchet things up just a bit, allowing Persip and Jones to play in the middle on a variety of percussion instruments before the tune takes on a New Orleans feel, and indeed traces much of orchestral jazz history over the course of its five minutes without breaking a sweat. 'Stratusphunk' is the most angular tune here, but Evans and company lend such an element of swing to the tune that its edges are barely experienced by the listener. For all his seriousness, there was a great deal of warmth and humor in Evans' approach to arranging. His use of the bassoon as a sound effects instrument at the beginning is one such moment emerging right out of the bass trombone. At first, the walking bassline played by Carter feels at odds with the lithe and limber horn lines which begin to assert themselves in full finger popping swing etiquette, but Carter seamlessly blends in. Again, Crawford's guitar solo in the midst of all that brass is the voice of song itself, but it's funky before Johnny Coles' fine trumpet solo ushers in an entirely new chart for the brass. The final cut, 'Sunken Treasure,' is a moody piece of noir that keeps its pulse inside the role of bass trombone and tuba. Percussion here, with maracas, is more of a coloration device, and the blues emerge from the trumpets and from Carter. It's an odd way to close a record, but its deep-night feel is something that may echo the 'cool' yet looks toward something deeper and hotter -- which is exactly what followed later with Into the Hot. This set is not only brilliant, it's fun.

MUSIC MONDAY 爵士乐 / Juéshìyuè / Jazz

I am not good at doing these even semi-regularly.

Xi’an rapper DaBozz/大包子 (big buns) is often called “cold aunt” (冷酷阿姨) for reasons I have yet to work out. I haven’t been able to find out all that much about her or this track, but given her recent performance at the annual Shanghai Concrete & Grass Festival earlier this year, it seems she’s something of a rising star in China’s indie music scene. As you can probably figure from the name of the song, it’s an homage to jazz musicians and music, and its personal and political significance. The lyrics are very poetic, so please forgive my translation, which really can’t do her original work justice. 

Read below for lyrics in simplified Chinese, pinyin, and my attempt at butchering the lyrics through lazy translation…

One wasted day, he was so despondent, but had to put on a brave face in front of others Soon all he could do was scream to vent his age, he didn’t even want to go to the bar and make a cheap but glamorous encounter This time all we need is some music

Jazz’s played on, the cells are awakened It plays Miles Davis’ “Birth of the Cool” with Gil Evans Piano and trumpet, breathe in the air of the pleasant rhythm  Hot coffee’s made palatable by cold jazz Relax and chill, this is just one kind of jazz

The temptation of jazz, you swallow your spit  Now you’re enveloped in the strong rhythm This music’s far from making an impact on your soul But it’s an intoxicating rebellion 

You choose to smoke while listening to Armstrong’s howling  Or to ferment in the sadness of a Holiday song Chet Baker’s lugubrious, romantic tone Stan Getz’s rare cheerful struggle and laughter

Ornette Coleman’s strange beauty  Albert Ayler’s experimental sections Norah Jones sings so lazily John Coltrane has you in awe of the turbulent surge

You decide to return and release yr soul  You nod your head to the rhythm as the big band plays  Or enjoy the flicker of the improvisation of a remarkable and original piece Ragtime ,blues are the roots New Orleans , Dixieland , Chicago , Bebop hardbop Swing cool Fusion modern Free loft and more

This is what jazz is, open up your soul  The beat’s confused and complex, the tune’s hard to determine This is the freedom of jazz, to repeatedly pull you out of your body to wander in boundless space This is jazz , it belongs to night, da second name’s black , let’s take a nightfly This is jazz ,rises n falls ,running in the fog , finds new roads and then lost

Reason and hallucination surrender to one another, pause a while to turn the human world into a paradise   Well-dressed people use it to fabricate some kind of high-end atmosphere, a token to show unconventional taste  But we know that jazz is the spirit of freedom Tradesmen who don’t play a single note don’t rely on inertia to exist It originated in a depraved life as if drunk or dreaming Black people’s emotions, warm and cool, desire and relief SO Listening to jazz doesn’t require any explanation  100 kinds of emotion strike directly deep down in your heart It’s a hallucination, it’s a train, it’s a swirling eddy too deep to see or to know Jazz has is already a collection of everything I want About spirituality and confusion, about moments and collisions  Truthful language can’t describe it (Duke) Ellington said jazz is a dream!

Acclaimed singer, dancer and actress Dianna Agron makes her Café Carlyle debut, September 19-23. So far in her career, very few people have heard Dianna sing the kind of music she loves best. Her lower register calling, she will present songs typically sung by men. From Dylan and The Doors to The Kinks and The Zombies, Dianna will be paying tribute to some of finest male-fronted acts of the '70s. By way of the hit TV show Glee, selling more than twelve million albums worldwide and tackling two major tours, she is no stranger to the stage. Having recently moved to New York, she is thrilled to bring her voice to the Café, something she feels cements her place in the city.

Performances will take place Tuesday - Saturday at 8:45pm; and Saturday at 10:45pm. Weekday pricing begins at $90 per person / Bar Seating: $75 / Premium Seating: $140. Weekend pricing begins at $110 per person / Bar Seating: $85 / Premium Seating: $160. Reservations can be made by phone at 212.744.1600 or online via Ticketweb. Café Carlyle is located in The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel (35 East 76th Street, at Madison Avenue).

About Café Carlyle at The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel:

Originally opened in 1955, Café Carlyle is New York City's bastion of classic cabaret entertainment, a place where audiences experience exceptional performers at close range in an exceedingly elegant setting. Since composer Richard Rodgers moved in as The Carlyle's first tenant, music has been an essential part of The Carlyle experience. No place is that more evident than in the Café Carlyle.

Café Carlyle is known for talents including Woody Allen, who regularly appears on Monday evenings to play with The Eddy Davis New Orleans jazz band. For three decades, Café Carlyle was synonymous with the legendary Bobby Short, who thrilled sell-out crowds for 36 years. His spirit lives on through the music at Café Carlyle.

Continuing the tradition of the 1930s supper club, Café Carlyle features original murals created by French artist Marcel Vertès, the Oscar-winning art director of the 1952 Moulin Rouge.

Woody Allen & Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band no Café Carlyle

[someonewhotravels]

Empire State of Mind

Нью-Йорк случился два месяца назад, а кажется - в прошлой жизни, но тем рациональнее о нем получился текст.

Случился НЙ случайно. Скорее, потому что виза, чем потому что dream destination. Визу я получила неприлично давно и все откладывала момент, чтобы ею воспользоваться. Мальчик на паспортном контроле тоже не понял, почему откладывала, пришлось импровизировать.

- Были раньше в США? - Нет. - Почему же вы до сих пор не приезжали, вашей визе уже пять лет, - листает паспорт, в котором практически не осталось чистых страниц, смотрит вопросительно. - Меня парень не пускал и со мной ехать не хотел. - А что изменилось теперь? - У меня новый парень. - Оооокей.

Город всегда мне казался немного overrated - все хотят туда поехать, все хотят там жить. Словно самый популярный мальчик в школе. Нравится всем, знает об этом, пользуется, а тебя вся эта агония обошла стороной - то ли думала, что недостаточно хороша для него, то ли не совсем понимала, что у вас может быть общего.

Но спустя много лет вы с тем самым «популярным мальчиком» встречаетесь и оказывается, что тогда, в школе, вам нравились одинаковые фильмы, вы слушали одинаковую музыку, ходили на одинаковые кружки, и, в целом, могли подружиться. Но тогда не подружились, а сейчас - самое время.

И нет, я не хочу жить в НЙ, но пожить несколько месяцев - хочу. На период действия гостевого абонемента в публичную библиотеку моей мечты.

ЖИТЬ

В идеале - успеть пожить и в Бруклине, и на Манхэттене, чтобы узнать и понять город лучше. Целесообразно снимать комнату или квартиру на Airbnb, но обращайте внимание, легально ли хост сдаёт свои апартаменты - обычно лицензионный номер указывают сразу в описании. Глобально вас наличие или отсутствие лицензии никак не коснётся, но может случится та��, что вашу бронь отменят накануне и вам в срочном порядке придётся искать новое жильё.

В Бруклине приятно жить в районе Williamsburg, на Манхэттене мое сердце покорил отель The Jane, в котором останавливались выжившие после крушения «Титаника». В отеле три типа номеров: кабины, похожие на купе, на одного и двух человек с общим душем, и очень красивые капитанские каюты с балконами. Провести там ночь, словно очутиться в начале 20 века, или в фильме Вэса Андерсона The Grand Budapest Hotel.

ТРАНСПОРТ

Чтобы добраться из аэропорта JFK в город, вам сначала нужно воспользоваться AirTrain и доехать до станции Jamaica. Стоимость $6 (с учетом налога) в одну сторону, оплата на выходе. Берите мелкие наличные, потому что разменять крупные купюры поздним вечером негде, а карту терминал упорно не принимал. Сотруднику пришлось пропустить меня бесплатно: «Я видел, что вы старались, проходите». Выходите, проходите мимо LIRR путей и на лифте спускаетесь вниз к метро.

Передвигаться по городу на метро и только на метро. На, кажется, самом простом и понятном в мире с wi-fi на каждой станции.

MetroCard - must buy. Уд��бно купить на неделю за $34 (с учетом налога) и кататься энивэй, энитайм, анлимитед.

На выходных метро работает all night, но будьте внимательны - иногда поезда по ночам меняют маршруты и приходят не совсем на те колеи, где вы их ждёте. Но ночное метро - особая романтика. И бомжи. Много. Но они не пахнут. Совсем. Magic, или скорее достаточное количество приютов, где у них есть возможность привести себя в порядок.

ПИТЬ

Бары в Нью-Йорке - любовь. Понятие лучшего бара очень относительно, учитывая их количество на квадратный километр и количество квадратных километров. У меня, конечно же, был свой must visit, формируя который я ориентировалась на World’s 50 Best Bars 2018, рекомендации людей, которым можно доверять и немножко на рейтинг с отзывами.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🍸 Angel’s Share - мой фаворит. Я до сих пор помню вкус маскарпоне в коктейле Check to Check. Бар hard-to-find, находится на втором этаже японского ресторана и это придаёт ему очарования.

🍸 Bathtub Jin - отличный бар с коктейлями на джине, живой музыкой и танцами, классным вайбом и бронзовой ванной. Место, где сервис какого-то сверхуровня: в уборной есть человек, который открывает вам двери, подносит мыло, подаёт полотенце для рук и улыбается.

🍸 Dante - итальянский бар-ресторан, #9 в рейтинге лучших, с приятным интерьером и без лишнего пафоса. Говорят, сюда ходил и Хемингуэй тоже.

🍸 Employees Only - спикизи бар, #26 в рейтинге, внутри таинственный полумрак и флирт-фактор выше среднего. Понравился мне после того, как заиграла Wonderwall и хор голосов гостей подпевал Oasis.

🍸 The Top of the Standart - фенси бар на крыше отеля с легким дресс-кодом и видом на город 360.⠀⠀⠀

Лучшие бары #4 The Nomad, #15 Attaboy, #16 Dead Rabbit и #41 BlackTail остаются на следующий раз вместе с The Campbell в помещении бывших офисов высокопоставленных сотрудников Grand Central, Katana Kitten, George Washington Bar, и руфтопами SixtyFive, Bar 54, 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar, The Press Lounge и Pod39.⠀⠀⠀

Не забудьте взять с собой ID, часто просят показать на входе.

ЕСТЬ

Если с барами все было продумано и спланировано, то с едой - ситуативно, поэтому были и Friday’s, и Bubba Gump Shrimp. Есть лобстеров - обязательно, в любом виде: ждут вас в Lobster Place на территории Chelsea Market (не только лобстеры ждут, если что, а все возможные виды морепродуктов) или в Burger & Lobster. 

В районе West Village можно на скорую руку перекусить в классном средиземноморском Taboonette.

Хотела, но не успела, пообедать в Chinatown, зайти в кофейню Chalait на самые вкусные вариации матча-чая и красивые завтраки и с той же целью - в Cha Cha Matcha, в Sadelle’s на бейглы, в Freemans на еду и уютный дворик, в Cheesecake Factory на понятно что.

КУЛЬТУРНАЯ ПРОГРАММА

В НЙ хочется тратить деньги. Но не на шопинг, а на билеты, потому что глаза разбегаются и хочется успеть везде.

Я успела на гастроли Cirque du Soleil и их шоу Luzia. Это был мой первый раз и он был фантастическим: от смены декораций до музыки и гуттаперчевого мальчика.

Быть в НЙ и не сходить на бродвейский мюзикл, это как поехать в ЛА и не попасть на Universal. Я выбирала между The Lion King (потому что первый диснеевский мюзикл), Aladdin (потому что очень люблю) и The Phantom of the Opera (потому что самый первый ever и мой одногодка). Выбрала последний, так как оказался самым удобным по графику, но по остальным страдаю до сих пор. Сказать, что было потрясающе - ничего не сказать. Костюмы, декорации, эффекты и, конечно, музыка - мурашки начинаются с момента, когда начинает играть Theme Song и больше не уходят.

Мюзиклов, конечно, гораздо больше, включая современные постановки с известными актерами, весь список по ссылке. Стоимость билетов в среднем варьируется от $29 до $195, но зависит от спектакля. 

На мюзикл я променяла одно событие, которое давно осело в моем wish list: выступление Вуди Аллена и The Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band в старейшем Cafe Carlyle. Не жалею, но хочется пожелать мистеру Аллену крепкого здоровья и все же однажды успеть.

Зато я успела на самый известный в мире иммерсивный спектакль Sleep No More в заброшенном пятиэтажном отеле McKittrick. Существует он с 2003 года и в его основе лежит пьеса Уильяма Шекспира «Макбе́т». То, как это выглядит и как организовано - невероятный космос, продуманный до мелочей. Гости собираются в баре за коктейлями, и отправляются бродить по отелю согласно сформированным группам. Первое и главное, что меня смутило - это количество людей, их одновременно около 300. Они двигаются хаотично, бездумно, иногда примыкая к десяткам других людей, которые двигаются за тем или иным актером. У меня было собственное представление о том, что меня ждет, которое не совпало с реальностью, - я думала, что буду бродить по отелю, заходить в его номера и становится свидетелем событий чужих жизней, а оказалось, что актера сначала нужно найти, а потом не потерять. В общем, я однозначно хочу повторить и Sleep No More с уже имеющимися вводными, и сходить на еще один - Then She Fell. Он более камерный, поставлен по мотивам «Алисы в стране чудес», а дествие проходит в заброшенном госпитале в Williamsburg. В постановке задействовано всего 15 зрителей, что позволяет каждому гостю максимально взаимодействовать с актером, но и билеты стоит покупать заранее, а не как я. Стоимость билетов на Sleep No More - от $80 до $120, на When She Fell - от $125 до $200.

На музеи тоже хочется тратить деньги, но я, к своему стыду, никуда не успела. Или, если совсем честно, они не вписались органично в мой slow living нью-йоркский график. Не хотелось бежать, чтобы успеть все, потому что точно знала, что еще вернусь. Меня ждет Morgan Library and Museum с неверотяной коллекцией книг старшего Моргана, Whitney Museum of American Art с настоящим духом Америки, MoMA с Шагалом, Ван Гогом, Пикассо, Моне, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum с постоянно обновляющимися экспозициями и, конечно, легендарный The Metropolitan Museum of Art. У каждого из музеев есть определенные дни, когда можно попасть бесплатно, но я даже боюсь представить эти очереди из желающих.

Еще я три раза была в The New York Public Library и каждый раз у меня перехватывало дыхание от маштабов и всего того важного, что происходит здесь каждую минуту. Ну и от мерча, конечно, - он невероятно красивый.

ГУЛЯТЬ

Гулять везде. Манхэттен - находка для топографического кретина. Пока составляла маршруты - выучила остров на память, чего не случалось со мной никогда. Если посмотреть сверху, то это словно сетка из двенадцати avenues, и переплетенных с ними двухсот с лишним streets.

Том Хэнкс в своей книге «Уникальный экземпляр. Истории о том, о сем» (да, тот самый Том Хэнкс пишет книги), просто и понятно описал Нью-Йорк: «Он имеет форму ладони. Авеню, все под номерами, длинные, тянутся от пальцев к запястью. Стриты, все пронумерованные, идут поперек ладони. Бродвей, линия жизни, изогнут на всем протяжении. Два средних пальца – это Центральный парк».

В НЙ есть ощущение, что ты уже все это видел - просто мы, видимо, успели посмотреть слишком много фильмов. Но это не портит впечатление о нем. Каждый находит здесь то, что ему близко и важно.

Мне хотелось подняться на Top of The Rock, зайти в Grand Central Terminal, пройтись по Times Square, прогуляться по High Line, увидеть дом из сериала F.R.I.E.N.D.S, посмотреть на новенький The Vessel (бесплатно, по регистрации) и Brooklyn Bridge. Что-то было по дороге, что-то встретилось случайно, но программа минимум is done, только Central Park остается на следующий раз и более благоприятную погоду.

А еще - это невероятно фотогеничный город, кажется, его нельзя сфотографировать плохо, даже если делать это левой рукой с закрытыми глазами.

УЕХАТЬ

У меня есть любимое равлечение - приезжать в города, чтобы уезжать из них. И поехать к океану - неизбежная часть программы поездки в НЙ. Я долго и занудно выбирала пляж, на который хочу, - чтобы маяк, серферы, бесконечная береговая линия и мало людей. И Fire Island оказался идеальным местом. Google Maps показывает, что доехать сюда можно и общественным транспортом, но у меня такого опыта нет. Идеальный вариант - арендовать машину или найти друзей с машиной, которые не против составить компанию. Я счастливчик и у меня был второй вариант. Провести там день - не жаль, даже если это один из всего лишь семи дней в Нью-Йорке.

Еще одним идеальным местом могло бы стать Ditch Plains Beach, но было далеко и нецелесообразно.

ШОПИНГ

В принципе, кроме Urban Outfitters и Brooklyn Flea Market меня мало что интересовало, а тратить время на шопинг не хотелось, потому что все самое интересное находится далеко. Но если вам время позволяет, рекомендация знающего человека к вашим услугам: в The Mills в Jersey Gardens на товары нет налогов, но есть хорошие скидки.

Но самый потрясающий шопинг вас ждет в старейшем книжном магазине-кинозвезде Strand Book Store, где на трех этажах собрались new, used и rare книги. Это как Amazon, только самовывоз и все можно потрогать, и мерч у них классный.

TO NOTE

Помните, что в НЙ не учтен налог с продаж (SalesTax) в размере 8,875% и финальную сумму вы узнаете уже на кассе или при оплате. Не удобно, но привыкнуть можно.

Чаевые рекомендуется оставлять в размере 18% от общего счета.

PR: Jean-Michel Bernard Plays Lalo Schifrin

VARÈSE SARABANDE RECORDS TO RELEASE JEAN-MICHEL BERNARD PLAYS LALO SCHIFRIN Featuring Performances Of New Arrangements of Schifrin’s Beloved Themes, Played by Acclaimed Pianist/Composer Jean-Michel Bernard (September 18, 2017 – Los Angeles, CA) – The result of a concert performed by Jean-Michel Bernard celebrating the music of legendary composer Lalo Schifrin at the 2016 La Baule Film Music Festival in France, Varèse Sarabande will release a new studio recording of JEAN-MICHEL BERNARD PLAYS LALO SCHIFRIN digitally and on CD October 6, 2017.  The album features three piano duets performed by Bernard with Schifrin himself! In addition to this wonderful release, Varèse Sarabande, together with Musicians at Play and Music Fund Los Angeles, will be celebrating the 85th birthday of Schifrin with a special concert on October 7th in Los Angeles, at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale (concert details: http://bit.ly/2h8cyXO). Lalo Schifrin calls Jean-Michel Bernard his ‘soul brother.’  The two first met over 25 years ago, but it wasn’t until they were reacquainted in 2016 that they would strike up a musical friendship.  Schifrin was the guest of honor at the 2016 La Baule Film Music Festival.  Bernard was asked to give a tribute concert to celebrate the Maestro, and re-orchestrated Lalo’s themes for the performance.  Though not originally scheduled to – Bernard invited Lalo to join him on stage and the two played 35 minutes of amazing improvisations, culminating in Schifrin’s beloved “Mission: Impossible”.

“After a Dirty Harry Blues duo with Pierre Boussaguet, he launched into a wild piano duel with Jean-Michel on Happy Birthday—it really was Boussaguet's birthday—before ending on a white-hot reprise of Mission: Impossible… thirty-five minutes later!” described the French journalist Stéphane Lerouge. “The audience, fully aware that they had witnessed a historic happening, gave them a standing ovation that stopped the clock.” Inspired by the music of Schifrin and determined to recreate the historic moment by recording his arrangements for this album, Jean-Michel began recording this album – featuring Lalo’s beloved music from Mannix, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid, The Cat, the Dirty Harry Suite (featuring composer – and Clint’s son – Kyle Eastwood on electric bass), plus a melodic trip to Lalo’s roots with pieces like Lalo’s Bossa Nova and Tango Del Atardecer. After an initial recording session in France, Lalo invited Jean-Michel to Los Angeles to record a series of duets at the legendary Capitol Studios where Lalo would join him for three pieces.   “Jean-Michel reserved two pieces for him [Lalo], each for two pianos: Chano (originally written for Gillespie), and a lengthy introduction to The Plot, like some fantasy joust nourished on jubilant quotes,” wrote Lerouge. “He also built up an original suite combining Recuerdos from Che! (with a baguala rhythm) and the love theme from The Four Musketeers in Renaissance style, forming a made-to-measure piece for Sara Andon, a stunning New World classical flautist. These three piano duets, performed by Lalo and Jean-Michel, can be heard on this album: Introduction to The Plot, Chano, and The Cheketeers Suite.” Take a musical adventure with this delightful new recording JEAN-MICHEL BERNARD PLAYS LALO SCHIFRIN.  Perhaps Schifrin himself summed it up best, "In La Baule, it was a magnificent child. From now on, it's an adult." Track Listing 1. Mannix 2. Bullitt 3. Cool Hand Luke 4. Dirty Harry Suite 5. Lalo's Bossa Nova 6. Mission: Impossible 7. That Night 8. Tango Del Atardecer 9. The Cat 10.

When he was 14, he was awarded first place at the Bordeaux Conservatory and later graduated from the Paris ‘Ecole Normale de Musique’. At 19, he recorded with the London Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, whilst pursuing a career as a jazz musician and performing with prominent jazz artists including Wild Bill Davis, Jimmy Woode (Duke Ellington’s bassist) and Eddie Davis. From 1987 to 1991 he worked as musical director and conductor of the successful radio show “L’Oreille en Coin” on National Pubic Radio France Inter. Between 2000 and 2003, he performed with the Ray Charles Quartet on the European and Australian tours as organist and conductor, “this guy is a genius, he is extraordinary” Ray used to say concerning Jean-Michel Bernard. He also scored many documentaries and commercials during the 90’s.  His career as a composer began with animated films, followed by collaborations with masters such as Lalo Schifrin and Ennio Morricone. He frequently works with director Michel Gondry and has composed songs and scores for films including Human Nature and The Science of Sleep, which screened at the Sundance and Berlin Film Festivals. He was nominated for the World Soundtrack Awards in 2007 as Discovery of the Year and won the France Musique/UCMF award at the Cannes Film Festival the same year. In 2008 he scored the music for Michel Gondry’s Be Kind Rewind, Cash by Eric Besnard, and A Pain in the Ass by Francis Veber. The same day Be Kind Rewind was shown at the Sundance Festival, Jean-Michel Bernard performed alongside rapper/singer Mos Def and Gondry, an avid drummer. The following year, the Cannes Film Festival invited him to represent France in the film music concert program. He also received an award for his achievement outside of his native country from the European Union of Film Music Composers (UCMF) and was appointed as sound designer for both HBO’s channel and website. He has collaborated with French actress and director Fanny Ardant on two of her films Chimères Absentes and Cadences Obstinées starring Gerard Depardieu and worked on Academy Award winning Hugo by Martin Scorsese. He scored the music of Love Punch by Joel Hopkins starring Pierce Brosnan and Emma Thompson, Love at First Child by Anne Giafferi and Money by Georgian director Gela Babluani. Bernard has conducted master classes at the Cannes Film Festival as well as in Montreal, Angers, La Rochelle, Krakow, Cologne and in Aubagne, where he performed a live version of “Jazz For Dogs”, an album co-created with Kimiko Ono and featuring a number of prestigious guests including Fanny Ardant, Francis Lai and Laurent Korcia. In 2014, Jean-Michel Bernard began teaching film music classes at the Paris Conservatory and was guest of honor with Michael Giacchino at the Audi Talent Awards in Paris with the Paris Symphonic Orchestra, at Braunschweig Festival and at Soundtrack Cologne Festival. He scored “Terra”, a contemporary dance project which premiered at the Coronet in London in March 2016 and participated as composer, arranger and performer on The Avalanches long-awaited second album Wildflower. His most recent project is an album celebrating the legendary Lalo Schifrin entitled Jean-Michel Bernard plays Lalo Schifrin which includes 3 piano duets with the master himself. The album will be released in 2017 with concerts in Los Angeles, Paris, and Japan, at the Tokyo Blue Note Jazz Festival. "To me it is amazing that I found a real 'soul brother' in the sum of his expressions (composing, conducting, performing, etc.). I cannot find words to reflect my admiration for his genius, a real miracle because he is my double." (Lalo Schifrin). ABOUT LALO SCHIFRIN Lalo Schifrin is a true Renaissance man. As a pianist, composer and conductor, he is equally at home conducting a symphony orchestra, performing at an international jazz festival, scoring a film or television show, or creating works for the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, the London Philharmonic and even The Sultan of Oman. As a young man in his native Argentina, Lalo Schifrin received classical training in music, and also studied law. He came from a musical family, and his father, Luis Schifrin, was the concertmaster of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Buenos Aires at the Teatro Colon. Lalo Schifrin continued his formal music education at the Paris Conservatory during the early 1950’s. Simultaneously, he became a professional jazz pianist, composer and arranger, playing and recording in Europe. When Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires in the mid 1950’s, he formed his own big concert band. It was during a performance of this band that Dizzy Gillespie heard Schifrin play and asked him to become his pianist and arranger. In 1958, Schifrin moved to the United States and thus began a remarkable career. His music is a synthesis of traditional and twentieth-century techniques, and his early love for jazz and rhythm are strong attributes of his style. “Invocations,” “Concerto for Double Bass,” “Piano Concertos No. 1 and No. 2,” “Pulsations,” “Tropicos,” “La Nouvelle Orleans,” and “Resonances” are examples of this tendency to juxtapose universal thoughts with a kind of elaborated primitivism. In the classical composition field, Schifrin has more than 60 works. To date, Lalo Schifrin has written over 100 film and television scores including Mission Impossible, Mannix, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid, Amityville Horror, four of the Dirty Harry films, and more recently Abominable and the Rush Hour trilogy.  Lalo Schifrin has now won five Grammys® (twenty-two nominations), one Cable ACE Award, and six Academy Award® nominations (for Cool Hand Luke, The Fox, Voyage of the Damned, The Amityville Horror, The Competition, and The Sting II).  His longtime involvement in both the jazz and symphonic worlds came together in 1993 as pianist and conductor for his on-going series of “Jazz Meets the Symphony” recordings.
