After a long, long lockdown, tweets and memes about the impending “hot girl summer”, the reboot of the roaring ’20’s, etc. were abuzz. While I’m not quite sure if these hedonistic fantasies fully manifested into a real societal phenomenon, the month of June was frenzied nonetheless. I was back in the city, semblances of regular life were beginning again, and the sun seemed to hang in the sky unbothered, a limitless background to the bright potentialities everyone was anticipating. June was hot; it was impossible to step outside in anything more than shorts and a t-shirt. Walks around the city meant being consistently covered in a layer of sticky sweat and being okay with it. All of this melted into a boundless energy: June was the month of freedom.

It was the beginning of a new phase of life for me in a lot of ways: I was starting my new full-time job, my first “real” career move. I had my own apartment downtown and I was finally living out the visions that consistently dotted my mind throughout the beginning of the year. I could traverse the city without a care in the world, walking or biking around and seeing glimmering faces dining, shopping, socializing, or leisurely taking in the world around them as I was. I was spending a lot of effort getting my apartment set up, mood-boarding my life away and scouring various vintage furniture Instagram pages for the perfect mid-century cabinet. This urban independence pushed me to embody the ’70’s; I imagined myself wearing patterned button-down shirts, long hair flowing as I browsed vinyl records to take back and enjoy while lounging on my mustard-colored sofa before getting ready to go to the disco. I could imagine this ’70’s chic lifestyle because it was so easy to emulate in 2021–I did exactly what I described, the only difference was that I had a smartphone or whatever.

Disco and Japanese city pop became the soundtrack to my city boppin’. Throughout the summer I hosted several of my closest friends, a privilege of having my own apartment. As tourists do, we fanned out and explored through multiple neighborhoods. I found that ’70’s disco, funk and soul music permeated the airwaves no matter where we were. Everyone seemed to be in on the same energy as me and they weren’t afraid to express it.

One of my favorite moments was returning to Nowadays for their Mister Sunday party in the backyard for the first time in a year and a half. It was the second party of the season and it still wasn’t fully back, only being advertised via a link for people on their email list. The party just so happened to coincide with the week that several friends were visiting, and it was so special having all of my favorite people in one place: my oldest friends were there alongside new friends I had made since moving to NYC. The rest of the crowd felt like friends too, a chaotic but supportive community of people who were all there to have fun. This was the first time I wore a frog hat to Nowadays, and it became a signature look that lasted the rest of the year.

Something clicked for me when I was on the dance floor that day. The sun was setting and rays of light were shining throughout the crowd; I was in front of the DJ booth, mesmerized by the analog equipment and vinyl records. I remember being in awe at the way the light reflected off the record, the sunshine and disco sounds blending into one. The dance floor was frenetic, and I looked back and saw all of my best friends smiling and having fun. It came together in a moment of ecstasy: this was the original energy, the crowd existing as a singular unit, each person feeding off of the good vibes of everyone else. It was the power of music. It was freedom.

5 Miles Davis albums everyone should hear

Miles Davis Passed away 30 years ago today on September 28, 1991. To mark his passing I thought I would put together a list of his albums that every music lover should hear. The first 5 are the albums I come back to most so start there. The second

1. Sketches of Spain - I have listened to Sketches of Spain more than any other Miles album. Beautiful music start to finish. Small group setting + Gil Evans = Magic

2. Jack Johnson - Jack Johnson is the second most listened to Miles album for me. I keep coming back to it. Miles added some rock to the long tracks on this release. This is pure and uncompromising music.

3. In a Silent Way - Released in 1969, a seminal year in music. The electric sounds Miles added really come together on this release. This album was a turning point in his catalogue. For the next decade Miles would push jazz and music for that matter farther than anyone thought possible. Side note. I purchased a warped copy of this release a while back. Was pissed when I noticed it was warped when I brought it back home. Found another clean copy at Goodwill a few months later for a dollar. I miss the days that records could be purchased for next to nothing...

4. On the Corner - Every time I put this album on I hear something new. Just play the first track... It might be his most forward thinking release when it came to the forms of music that at the time were yet to be realized. This is a release that created pop music foundations for years to come. When you listen, pay attention to the transitions, the drumlines the guitars and the in-between spaces. Then the differences between this and the music Miles released before On the Corner. What is amazing is for the most part, the sounds were there but here he creates something brand new. As the title implies, this is the sound of Jazz moving out of the studio/venue and out onto the street.

5. Nefertiti - Miles had many peaks in his long career and for me Nefertiti was one of them. It is a subtle release. Miles moved away from the obvious and fully embraced the mood here. This is a mid day low key release that is best enjoyed when distractions are removed.

After you have heard these move a bit deeper into his discography:

6. Porgy and Bess - Another Miles and Gil Evans colab. Honestly as a single, Summertime from Porgy and Bess is the highlight of the collaboration between the two artists. Miles Ahead, Porgy & Bess and Sketches of Spain is quite the 3 album run.

7. Bags’ Groove - Miles, Monk and Rollins play a beautiful set here. Great entry point into the 2nd tier of his well known discography. This is up there with my most listened to releases. Mostly because I found a super clean copy at a record store that was missing the cover when I first started buying vinyl. Because it was one of the first classic jazz albums I owned I played it a ton. If I remember correctly that same day I found The Art of Coltrane The Atlantic years, Time Further Out and a Cannonball Adderly release.

8. Milestones - Similar to Bags Groove here we find Miles in classic form with Coltrane & Cannonball Adderley.

9. 'Round About Midnight- 'Round About Midnight & Tribute to Jack Johnson are my Miles Davis album covers. But you should also listen to the album as well since its amazing.

10. E.S.P. - Great Hard Bob release. Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and Tony Williams were all in sync.

Finally, here are a few albums you have probably heard but should listen to again:

11. Birth Of Cool- Just the title of this album shows you how much confidence Miles had at a young age. Release in 1957 it influenced Jazz for decades to come.

12. Kind of Blue - You know it. I know it. Everyone knows this album. Why list it then? Because there are still ears out there that have yet to hear it.

13. Bitches Brew - Of all the release I am including, Bitches Brew is the toughest listen. It is just so far out. And it's not an album in the normal sense of the term. Its hours and hours of improvisation cut down into manageable bites which were then compiled into a set of songs. This is dense and at times feels like madness. Honestly at times I lose the music and have to focus to get my brain back on track. The album is a challenging and while it might not be everyone's taste, everyone who listens to music should hear it.

Listen to more Miles Davis and your life will be better. That I can guarantee.

Lightning Bug Festival: Ch 4

A/N: Xana is pronounced Hannah. Mara is 13 her spells are in Latin. Raina is 13 her spells are in Portuguese. (They are twins) Harley Sigma is 19. Razielle or Raz is 13. Spoiler I don’t own the following shows, tech companies and etc. that are going to be mentioned. If I did this would be a book and maybe a movie or the tech would be real. Sparta is Not Greece two different places and Atlantis is real it’s the future things are different know. Also Please Review. Disclaimer: Don’t own the following shows, tech companies and etc. that are going to be mentioned. If we did this would be a book and maybe a movie or the tech would be real. Ch1, Ch2, Ch3

@myrandomzshit

First Days

November 13, 2039, 0750 CTUS

Mara

After Harley finished briefing, I turned the music up. Then my phone began to ring. I looked down at my phone and saw my little brother’s name and picture, Brendan, I turned down the music and accepted the call. “What do you want?” I barked. “I can’t just call my older sister?” he replied. I rolled my eyes, “Talk to Rain,” I threw my phone at Raina.

After she talked to our brother, telling him that we won’t be home for Thanksgiving, and then gave me back my phone. Then for the rest of the drive to the school we just listen to the music, though Raina and Raz chatted from time to time.

When we got to the school it seemed packed with a bunch of preps. I looked out the window at the school. I saw a bunch of them getting out of their fancy cars and walking into the school. Some would hang around their cars chatting with their friends. “So, this is how regular people go to school?” I said. I heard Raz sigh. Harley parks the car. “Do we have to go to the principal or do we just go to our class?” Raina asks. “Well we already have our schedules from Professor Storm so I don’t think we need to but…Harley?” I say. “We have to go to the principal’s office so we can get a school guide,” Harley answered. “School guides? That’s a thing?” I said in disbelief. “Yes, at least here they are.”

As I got out of the Jeep one of the prep boys from a bright burnt orange jeep next to us walked behind me and said, “Hey you must be new here…are you from Tennessee, because you’re the only ten I see.” I turned and just glared at him as I swing my bag over my shoulder. I hear Raz from the other side of the Jeep mumble, “Wow not even here for ten minutes,” and Harley laughing, “Are you from Wisconsin because that was a load of cheese.” I turned around to punch the prep, but then Raina stepped between us. “Pardon my sister. She is, how do you say, cranky.” “I am not cranky, Rainy, this prep here needs to learn when hit on people!” “See cranky.” “So, your name is Rainy?” the prep asked. “Actually, my name is Raina, Rainy is a nickname,” Raina answered. “Just move, this prep should be at the very least smacked!” I scoffed from behind my sister. “Feisty, I love that in a woman,” the prep said. “Now aren’t you just an Aramis?” Harley said as she walked around the Jeep over to us, Raz close behind her. Raina took my arm and dragged me towards the school, “Let’s go, you don’t need to be expelled on the first day!”

We walked through the doors to the front office and Harley walked to the front desk. “Excuse me, Miss, we are new students.” “Sit down, I’ll let the principal to get some tour guides for you guys, and get your schedules,” the lady picked up the phone and said something as we sat down in the little waiting area. A few minutes later four students walked in and they walked to the lady behind the desk. One of them looked familiar...the prep from the parking lot. They turn around with slips in their hands. The first one to speak was that prep boy from the parking lot. He looked at me and asked, “So which one of you is named Razielle Di’Angelo?” Raz stood up. He walked over to Raz, and another one in a uniform that matches Harley walked over to her. The two left stood in front of Raina and me. “So, which one of you is named Raina?” Raina got up and left with the girl.

“That must mean you're Mara.” “And you are?” I asked. “I’m Shelby Holdrege,” she beamed. “Nice to meet you Shelby,” I said dryly, shaking her hand. “Well welcome to Lightning Bug Academy!” Shelby said as she twirled out the door. I picked up my bag from the chair, rolled my eyes and walked out behind her.

Once she was done twirling in the hall, she looked at the slip. “So, your first class is…let’s see…Media Arts,” Shelby said, “We need to go this way.” She turned left and started walking down the hall, I could see Raina and her guide talking. I follow Shelby. “So where are you coming from?” She asked. “New York.” “That’s cool! Did you like it there?” “I guess but the winters are awful if you don’t like shoveling snow.” Shelby continued to tell me stuff about the school and other things, honestly, I wasn’t really paying attention. Too bad I can’t just cast a silencer spell on her, all her talking is giving me a headache!

“Here we are, Media Arts,” We walked into the class. The teacher turns around and says, “Hello Shelby, is this our new student?” “Yes, sir, her name is Mara.” The teacher extended his hand, “Welcome Mara to our class, I’m Mr. Hancock.” “Hello, and thank you,” I said as I shook his hand.

Nothing really happened in that class, like seriously nothing; I barely did my work. After what seemed like forever the bell rang and we left Media Arts.

Shelby showed be to my next class, Old ELA I, and introduced me to the teacher, Mrs. Stone. After she introduced me, Shelby turned to me and said, “I actually don’t have this class, but I am next door, so when the next bell rings you can meet me in the hall and I’ll show you to your next class,” then she left. As she left the prep boy from the parking lot walked in. Ugh you gotta be fucking kiddin’ me! The teacher said that we could sit where ever, so of course I sat in the back…sadly that parking lot prep boy sat towards the back too…Great.

Mrs. Stone opened the class with a monologue then gave us a reading assignment. The parking lot prep turned to me and said, “I didn’t properly introduce myself earlier. My name is Wayne Richard Valdez the Third, but you can call me Lion.” He said that last part with a wink, and I just rolled my eyes at him. This child is ridiculous. “What’s your name?” I turned to him and tried for a sweet smile then said, “None of your business, and may I say you do have a way to make a first impression.” “Got to make it memorable.” I rolled my eyes, “In a negative way?” “As the old saying goes, any press is good press.” “That’s a whole lie,” I laughed, getting back to the assignment.

My classes were so boring, if anyone was the culprit of the they are really flying under the radar, I was just happy that it was lunch time.

A/N: If you enjoy our story please let us know!!

Watch Terri Lyne Carrington + Social Science play at the Tiny Desk. Did you know you can watch new Tiny Desk concerts on npr.org ONE WEEK before they go up on YouTube? Click here: https://www.npr.org/tinydesk Follow NPR Music: Twitter: https://twitter.com/nprmusic Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nprmusic March 4, 2020 | Suraya Mohamed -- "I hope that you can enjoy this music because it can be heavy," bandleader Terri Lyne Carrington told the NPR crowd gathered for this Tiny Desk. "We've tried to figure out a way to make it feel good and still give these messages." In the jazz world, Carrington is a celebrity — a 40-year professional drummer and musician who's won Grammy awards and performed with a seemingly infinite list of jazz dignitaries such as Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Geri Allen. An outspoken activist, teacher and mentor, she is also the founder and artistic director of the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice, a multidisciplinary program whose motto is "Jazz Without Patriarchy." Carrington visited the Desk with her current band, Social Science, a collaboration with pianist Aaron Parks and guitarist Matthew Stevens (both performing here). In the works for some time, their project culminated in 2016 when the cultural divisiveness brought on by the presidential election inspired the trio to take action. "I think there's an awakening happening in society in general," Carrington writes on her website, "I feel a calling in my life to merge my artistry with any form of activism that I'm able to engage in." This performance features music from the band's new album, Waiting Game. It's story-filled, groove-music performed by a group of accomplished musicians who improvise, rap and sing over complex but highly crafted and accessible instrumental motifs. A perfect synthesis of jazz, indie rock and hip-hop influences, the four songs they played address important, culturally relevant protest narratives: mass incarceration, collective liberation, police brutality and Native American genocide. The third tune, "Bells (Ring Loudly)," written by Parks and Carrington, features actor Malcolm Jamal Warner who also wrote the spoken word. Carrington had just seen the Philando Castile shooting and her powerful lyrics imagined what she would say to the offending police officer. "You took my love away from me. I wanna know how did it feel to watch him tremble and bleed. Tell me what gives you the right to kill so senselessly? And when you're alone do you ever think of him or pray for his peace?" "There is so much we can be angry about but you can't really stay there," Carrington told NPR. "Instead, you can reach somebody on a human level." SET LIST "Trapped In The American Dream ft. Kassa Overall" "Waiting Game ft. Debo Ray" "Bells (Ring Loudly) ft. Malcolm Jamal Warner" "Purple Mountains ft.

Herbie Hancock at the Greek Theater, Berkeley

It’s been a wonderfully musical couple of weeks for us at CatSynth. Two days in the recording studio, our recent performance…and all of this bookended by concerts featuring our musical heroes. Today we visit the first of those concerts featuring Herbie Hancock at the Greek Theater in Berkeley.

Those who have been longtime readers of this site or familiar with some of my recent music will recognize the tremendous influence of Herbie Hancock, especially his Mwandishi and Head Hunters bands of the 1970s. For a concert in 2019, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. But from the moment the maestro took the stage, I was not disappointed.

Together with his current band – Vinnie Colaiuta on drums, James Genus on bass, Lionel Loueke on guitar and multi-instrumentalist Terrace Martin on horns and keyboard – he revisited many of the old classics, but with new twists. Some, like Chameleon and Cantelope Island, pretty much followed their classic forms and were a delight. Others, like Butterfly and Sunlight were quoted more subtly or obliquely, teasing us a bit through solos, chord changes, and excursions before landing on the tune’s head just long enough of us to recognize it and use it as a point of departure for the next section. This is something that we have heard Wayne Shorter do in his more recent performances as well – just enough of a hint of the original tune for us to notice before departing into new musical territory. It was pretty much everything I would hope for from this concert.

The music that I so love and admire (and try to play) but not as a museum or conservatory piece but as something dynamic and vital. He did a full rendition of Actual Proof, complete with introductory description – this piece is perhaps one of my favorites of his, in part because it is so rhythmically confounding – it is in 4/4 but the way the main riff spreads over bars, it can be hard to tell where the measures begin and end. I also enjoyed how he broke out the keytar and the vocoder from the late 1970s in several songs.

It wasn’t all updates on old favorites, as there was newer material as well. And he remains a consummate showman, giving his personal energy back to the crowd. Towards the end of the set, he led all of us in a wave while beaming from ear to ear – this then served as the introduction to a final encore jam of Chameleon where Kamasi Washington and others joined him on stage.

Kamasi Washington’s own set was also full of energy and complex music – perhaps a bit overshadowed for me by Herbie, but still a favorite of the crowd many of whom were sporting Washington’s t-shirts. He had an interesting band with two drummers (Tony Austin and Ronald Bruner Jr) and Cameron Graves on keyboard/synth. Rounding out the band was Ryan Porter on the trombone, Patrice Quinn on vocals, and Miles Mosley on bass. Perhaps the most touching moment was when Washington’s father, Rickey Washington, came out to join the band on soprano saxophone.

The opening set featured Robert Glasper and his band. A local favorite, his music weaved together elements of jazz with hip-hop. Centered around Glasper on keyboards, his group brought together different elements such as upright bass and turntable.

Overall, the show taken as a whole was one of the best live concerts I have seen in a while, which each group building on the foundation set by its predecessor, culminating in Herbie Hancock’s musical odyssey (there was, however, no Arp Odyssey this time). Even as an even chill settled into the Greek Theater during his set, I barely noticed. As as I practiced for my own music the coming week, I couldn’t help but notice myself doing more of those chromatically rising fast runs that are so characteristic of his solos. It’s not copying, but rather influence and tribute – a subject for another article at another time.

Denver mayor accused of sexual harassment

DENVER -- In an exclusive interview with Denver7, a veteran Denver police detective has accused Mayor Michael Hancock of sexually harassing her when she worked on Hancock’s security detail in 2011 and 2012.

Denver police detective Leslie Branch-Wise says Hancock made inappropriate comments and sent her harassing text messages in 2012, which she provided to Denver7 Investigates. In one text, Hancock compliments her haircut and writes, “You made it hard on a brotha to keep it correct every day.”

One of the text messages Leslie Branch-Wise received from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in 2012. (Watermark added by Denver7.)

In another text, he mentioned having spotted her on television in the crowd at a Denver Nuggets game.

“Enjoy! You better bring them some luck! You look sexy in all that black,” Hancock wrote.

One of the text messages Leslie Branch-Wise received from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in 2012. (Watermark added by Denver7.)

Hancock also sent Branch-Wise a provocative text about pole dancing.

“So I just watched this story on women taking pole dancing classes. Have you ever taken one? Why do women take the course? If not have you ever considered taking one and why? Your thoughts?"

Branch-Wise said she did not respond, but the mayor kept going, writing, "Be careful, I'm curious. LOL!"

One of the text messages Leslie Branch-Wise received from Denver Mayor Michael Hancock in 2012. (Watermark added by Denver7.)

When asked what the pole dancing text meant to her, Branch-Wise said, “Kind of that he doesn’t respect me as an employee.”

“It was a hard time in my life,” Branch-Wise said. “I didn't have anyone to tell, I didn't have anyone to talk to. That's my boss,” Branch-Wise said.

Hancock told Denver7 that while he does not believe his behavior was sexual harassment, he now realizes it was inappropriate.

“Six years ago, when Detective Leslie Branch-Wise was on my detail, we became friends. And I blurred the lines between being a friend and being a boss. Our text exchanges became too casual, too familiar, and last week I learned, after six years, that they hurt her and offended her….

"I am here to accept the responsibility for that and to apologize,” Hancock said.

Branch-Wise says she has no intention of filing a claim now.

“I just want people to know that I'm a woman, I have children, and I'm a victim of sexual harassment,” Denver police detective Leslie Branch-Wise told Denver7 Investigates. “It made me physically sick. It was extremely scary. And I dealt with it at that time the best way that I could.”

Denver police detective Leslie Branch-Wise provided Denver7 Investigates numerous text messages she received from Hancock in 2012. In one message, the mayor told her she looked sexy. In another, he wrote she made it hard for him to concentrate at work.

History of allegations

Branch-Wise first raised allegations of sexual harassment in 2012, but directed them at one of the mayor’s aides, Wayne McDonald. She said the harassment became so unbearable, she called the mayor to tell him she wanted to be taken off the detail because of McDonald’s behavior.

Hancock took action and fired McDonald four days later, the mayor’s office confirms. McDonald then sued the city for wrongful termination. He ultimately settled with the city for $200,000 in 2016.

Branch-Wise settled with the city for $75,000 in 2013. As part of that settlement, Branch-Wise agreed not to file claims against anyone else in the city.

She only came forward with the information about Hancock after Denver7 Investigates received an anonymous letter alleging McDonald wasn’t the only one who sexually harassed Branch-Wise — the mayor, the letter claimed, harassed her too. The letter, which reportedly was also sent to other Denver media outlets, made unsubstantiated personal allegations about the mayor.

In an exclusive interview with Denver7 investigative reporter Tony Kovaleski, a veteran Denver police detective said Mayor Michael Hancock and one of his former aides sexually harassed her when she worked on his security detail in 2011 and 2012.

“You received an anonymous letter, and it had some information in it that was true,” Branch-Wise said. “I just didn’t want to hide it anymore.”

Denver7 has not been able to substantiate many of the claims in the anonymous letter and has chosen not to publish it.

“This whole situation is wrought with politics, but I have to push through those politics. She's responding to an anonymous letter you got. You called her based on that anonymous letter, wrought with politics, and [there are] really slanderous things written into that letter. But more importantly, even when I knew all of that in the backdrop, Detective Branch-Wise deserved more and she deserves an apology from me,” Hancock said.

Hancock appeared to become emotional when asked what the potential reaction to the revelations might be.

“I hope my wife and my children accept my apology. And this city, who I love very much, and the people that I wake up every day to serve and to give everything I have, know that this is not the man, that is not the character of the man who I am. I made a mistake. I'm human. I never purport to be perfect,” Hancock said.

Life on the mayor’s security detail

“I was only employed in [the mayor’s security detail] for less than a year. And pretty early on, between the mayor's aide saying just sexually explicit things to me, in person and via text, and the mayor making inappropriate comments and sending me inappropriate texts … I knew that that unit wasn't the place for me,” Branch-Wise said.

The mayor said he does not believe the text messages constituted sexual harassment but he said he now knows they should not have been sent.

“They're wrong. There's no need to sit here and to dispute, or to try to explain them away, they're inappropriate. No matter which context in which they were sent,” Hancock said. “I apologize to Detective Branch-Wise for those text messages, to my wife and my family, to the people of Denver. They were inappropriate.”

McDonald declined to speak to Denver7 Investigates for this story. Filings from his federal case indicate Branch-Wise recorded McDonald in a phone call making sexually explicit comments. In a court filing from his federal case, McDonald denied the behavior was harassment because he claimed Branch-Wise was a willing participant in those conversations.

“I deny and dispute that any comments relating to sexual subjects that I made to Branch-Wise were unwelcome. I regularly interacted with members of the security detail during work, including Branch-Wise. Members of the security detail and I and Mayor Hancock regularly discussed sexual subjects during work,” McDonald wrote.

Hancock said he and his security detail become very close and he did not realize he crossed the line with his texts to Branch-Wise.

“Spending as much time with my security detail as I do … we laugh, we tease, we joke. It's not an excuse for me blurring the lines here. I'm not making an excuse, but the walls came down and that's unfortunate,” Hancock said. “This was not OK.”

Branch-Wise said she never asked the mayor to stop making inappropriate comments and sending inappropriate texts, fearing retribution.

“If you are down here and your boss is up here and he's showering you with these inappropriate texts and sayings and making you feel uncomfortable, who do you tell if he's at the top?” Branch-Wise said. “It's crushing.”

“Six years ago when Detective Branch-Wise called me to share with me that a staff member was sexually harassing her, I listened,” Hancock said. “We acted swiftly. And within a matter of days, that staff member was fired. I know it was painful for her then. She was very emotional. I never heard that anything I did or said to her at that time was offensive or hurtful to her. I wish I had known.”

Coming forward

Branch-Wise now says she regrets taking a settlement from the city without holding the mayor accountable.

“When we were going through the initial process of the suit, the initial suit, my attorney advised me that I wasn't supposed to speak on the mayor,” Branch-Wise said.

Branch-Wise’s attorneys declined to comment for this story. In a written statement, the Denver City Attorney's Office said:

“In 2012, Detective Branch-Wise filed a complaint with the City claiming that she was being sexually harassed by a then-member of the Mayor’s staff. The matter was reviewed, and the employee was terminated. Detective Branch-Wise subsequently retained private counsel, a former judge and highly reputable attorney, to represent her in the resolution of this claim. In June 2013, the City negotiated a settlement with the Detective through her private attorney. The settlement agreement does not require confidentiality or any provision that would restrict her ability to speak. At all times, Detective Branch-Wise has been free to discuss this matter.”

Branch-Wise said she has watched the #MeToo movement unfold and questioned whether she was strong enough to tell her own story of the way Denver’s most powerful man treated her.

“It made me feel really sad for the women. But I felt like they had something that I didn't: they had courage. In spite of what people would say about them, or whether people would believe them or not, they had courage,” Branch-Wise said. “And I have daughters and if something like this were to happen to them, I would want them to have courage.”

Mayor Hancock described the detective’s actions as courageous.

“In 2012, Detective Branch-Wise demonstrated tremendous courage. She's demonstrating courage now, coming forward,” Hancock said. “I want to always encourage women to come forward when they feel like they're in an unwelcoming, uncomfortable environment.”

Branch-Wise said that, as a current employee of the Denver Police Department, she worries she may face consequences for making allegations against Hancock.

“I just want to continue to pursue the career that I love as far as it will take me. I am afraid of retaliation, that's a major fear of mine,” she said.

“I know I've done the right thing, I have the texts to back up what I'm saying, so I'm not afraid that someone can say that I'm making this up because I'm not. But this job is surrounded by very high-powered men and I'm afraid,” Branch-Wise adds.

Mayor Hancock said Branch-Wise has nothing to fear.

“She has served our city well as a Denver police officer. She continues to serve our city well. There's no revenge here. I hope to apologize to her, if she will allow me to do that,” Hancock said. “The city is not interested in retaliation. I'm interested in taking responsibility.”

Indiana: Latest updates on Coronavirus

Last updated on April 28 at 9:30 a.m. E.D.T.

As of April 28, Indiana is reporting 15,961 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 844 deaths associated with the virus, according to the Indiana State Department of Health. The department has so far tested 84,476 people. The state confirmed its first case on March 6 when a resident who had recently traveled tested positive for the virus.

Indiana University Health can now test for COVID-19 and has the capacity to complete about 500 tests a day, the IndyStar reported. The hospital will expand its testing capacity over the coming weeks to build up to 2,500 tests a day, Joe Meyer, senior vice president of system operations, told the IndyStar.

March 16, Indiana confirmed its first death as a result of coronavirus. The individual was over 60 years of age and suffered from medical conditions in addition to COVID-19, according to a release from the state’s health department.

“A family today is suffering the ultimate loss due to COVID-19, and this sadly underscores how severe the virus can be – especially for some high-risk Hoosiers,” Gov. Holcomb said in the release. “The state is taking unprecedented actions to slow the spread of COVID-19, and every Hoosier should follow the precautionary measures.”

The department announced the second death caused by the novel coronavirus in the state of Indiana on March 17.

All public Allen County schools announced that they will close for at least four weeks amid concerns over the spread of COVID-19, and other school districts may follow suit, according to ABC21. All colleges and universities in northeast Indiana have canceled in-person instruction for the upcoming weeks and plan to resume courses online.

Costa Blanca South Bowls Roundup 24 Nov 18

El Rancho Bowls Club Having had all Monday’s league matches postponed, we played the first of the on thursday, that being the Pintos at home to Greenlands Sycamores. The Pintos found the line and length a little quicker than the Sycamores, as you would expect and took the 5 rinks and hence the overall shots. Ann C Taylor, Diane Yates and David Whitworth 21-11. June Whitworth, Sheila Cooper and Carolyn Harris 20-16. Malc Sykes, Denise Morgan and Jim Gracie 30-10. Irene Thomson, Bob Morgan and Eddie Thomson 32-9. Brian Harris, Keith Cunningham and Bob Taylor 21-12. Friday morning found the Mustangs at San Miguel against the Bulldogs, who proved to be strong opponents, particularly at San Miguel. Although we came away with just the one point we played well, as well as the drawn rink we lost two by just one and two shots. Meanwhile the Rangers were at home to Emerald Isle Roundheads and took 2 rinks, lost one by just 2 shots and won the overall shots, a worthy result. In the Afternoon the Broncos played host to San Miguel Boxers and played very well to win 2 rinks and draw two others, also taking the overall shots by an appreciable margin. Graham Day, Sheila Cox and Mike Cox 39-12. Steve Ziepe, Pam Harris and Brian Harris 14-14. Peter Blackburn, Suzette Ziepe and Rob Clark 12-18. Barbara Jones, Jan Bright and Geoff Jones 24-12. Ann C Taylor, Denise Morgan and Bob Easthope 15-15. For further membership information contact Sheila Cox at [email protected] or Brian Taylor on 9654077093 or at [email protected] Emerald Isle Bowls Club by ELWYN MORRIS The bowling week in Sunny Spain was delayed this week and we started on Wed with Winter League game at La Siesta. The outcome was a fine 10-2 aggregate 114-60 win for the Isle, winners were: P Rhodes D Leeming A M Stevenson J Smyth 30-13, S Kavanagh T Dix P Dix B Kavanagh 27-8, R Clive J Mulloy P Coffey I Brewster 24-7, D Jones M Veale M Breen D Gerrard 23-14 Friday brought La Siesta Blues to the Isle and the home team had a great 12-0 aggregate 100-61win, winners were: P Rhodes C Smyth A M Stevenson 21-13, D Jones M Veale J Smyth 18-11 D Rhodes K Jolliffe D Gerrard 22-14, G Shoots P Coffey B Kavanagh 19-13 ,B Taylor,M Odell G Odell 20-10 The Claymores played Vistabella Picadores and had a fine 10-2 aggregate 78-72 win winners were D Horne S Wickens D Donovan 22-17, B Doran C Thomas M Thomas 15-9, J Westall M Whitelock P Heaney 16-12, E Morris C Parsons A Malcolm 14-13 Rounheads travelled to El Rancho Rangers and came away with a good 6-6 aggregate 94-102 draw, winners were: A Gower R Andrews T Upham 30-16, J Elliott R Fooks E Brookes 20-12, K John P Creswell G Smith 19-17 Horadada Bowls Club by Irene Graham Friday 16th in the Southern League we were at home to La Manga. The weather was kind to us and the forecasted rain stayed away for the duration of the match. Looking across the rinks and seeing the home team build up their shots was impressive. This was the Royals at their very best. We won on all 5 rinks and gained the overall shots. Only one rink was a close match. Our winning rinks were: John Goddard, Mick Kirby and Barry Evans 16 -14, Tracey Paffett, Wayne Jackson and Terry Hucknall 24 – 9, Carol Linehan, David Allan and Sheila Westwood 27 – 6, Irene Graham, Alan Miller and Bryan Eatough 27 – 7, Ken Barber, Les Davies and David Bracken 36 – 6 Very well played to each and every one of the team and a special well done to our new players Sheila Westwood and David Bracken. We needed those well-earned points and it has placed us in 5th position just 2 points behind Monte Mar Matadors. Monday the 19th our home match against Monte Mar Torreadors was cancelled due to bad weather. This match has been re-scheduled for Tuesday 27 November. On Friday 23rd we were away to La Siesta Golds but unfortunately we were unable to keep up our great result of the previous week. Two of the rinks were quite close in shots and one of the rinks didn’t actually tell the true story of the match. Horadada played well but La Siesta was better with any of the’ luck’ going to them. We won on two rinks and lost on three giving us 4 points to La Siesta’s 8. The overall shots went to La Siesta. 70 for and 98 against. Our winning rinks were: Carol Linehan, David Allen and Sheila Westwood 21 – 9, Tracey Paffett, Wayne Jackson and Terry Hucknall 19 – 15 The weather was kind to us and the rain of earlier stayed away. A good, friendly atmosphere was enjoyed by all. Come on Team Horadada, keep ‘em bowls a rollin’! Horadada offers a warm welcome to new or experienced bowlers, and provides the necessary equipment. Our roll-up days for this friendly club are Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings. Please contact Fred Trigwell on 659 139 129 for more information. La Marina Report by Barry Latham This is a good ending for last week as this week hasn’t started yet because of all the rain and floods. Southern League Div A the Ospreys at home against La Siesta Blues and we had a good win by eight to four. Pete Parsons, Wendy Latham and the Anne Stone won 20 – 11 while Alex Whyte, Jim Reeves and Kathy Manning comfortably beat the opposition 27 – 16. Not to be outdone Shirley Hadaway, Phil Pape and Margaret McLaughlin won by four shots. In Southern League Div C the Merlins chopped down the Greenland Elms by 8 points which pushes the Merlins up into fourth place. John Rae with that Dave McGaw and the ever ready Reg Jackson secured a 30 – 14 win. Top rink. John Morgan, Mike Lowe and Dave Taylor came away with a 26 -14 win and Barry Sadler, Paul Tregoing and Alan Wilcock also won with a score of 19 – 16.. The one and only Dave O’Sullivan coasted to a 18 – 8 win with help from Garth Slater and Desna Lowe. Rain stopped play on Monday in most places, floods or leaks everywhere. I was at hospital in the canteen where they were using saucers to catch the water dripping through the roof. For the Winter League we travelled up to Benitachell and got thumped 10 – 2 but it wasn’t for the want of trying. It could have been easily 10 – 6 to them but for my pet moan and groan……the last three ends. Our only winning rink was the Old Man’s rink of Terry Perchard, Jean Perchard, Barbara Forshaw and Mo Kidd. I sat and watched the game and was well entertained by Marilyn and Lorita. I shall be able to knit and sew at the next game. We often say that the best part of Winter League is the meal and camaraderie afterwards and it certainly was. Friday in the Southern League the Merlins were at home to the Vistabella Swingers and it turned out a good result for the home team 9 – 3. Mr Withers took his rink to a 24 – 12 win so well done to Arthur Cronk and Marilyn Fryatt. John Rae is keeping up his great form with his other two of Dave McGaw and Reg Jackson winning 22 – 15. Still unbeaten. Dave Hadaway, Paul Tregoing and Trevor Hancock also won with a 19 – 12 score. La Siesta Bowls Club By Rod Edgerton A washout on Monday in the Voyager Division and Enterprise Divisions due to overnight storms will give all club representatives the difficulty in rearranging matches in the days to come. Our Winter League team entertained Emerald Isle and liitle change from results recently with the only winning rink coming from Doug and Fay Beattie with Bill and Sue Jordan winning 18 shots to 10.The overall shots for the match went to Emerald Isle114 shots to 60. In the Southern League A Division the Blues travelled to Emerald Isle Cavaliers The Golds in Division 5 entertained Horadada and won by 98 shots to 70 picking up 8 points. The winning rinks for the Golds came from Fay Beattie, Norman Adcroft and Val Dalton winning 30 shots to 12 whilst wins also were provided by Gordon Dall,Tony Campbell and Rab Logan winning 27 shots to 6 and Barbara Cooper, Irene and Dave Laverick won 17 shots to 12. The Silvers in the C Division were visited by Greenlands Cedars in an excellent match won by the visitors by 91 shots to 77. The two winning rinks for the Silvers came from Dot Kocsis with Rod Edgerton and Alan Ralph winning 22 shots to 14 whilst Kathleen and Noel Morrisoe with Shiela Millward winning 19 shots to 14.

San Miguel Bowls Club – By Gail Willshire A shorter report this week as only one match was played on 19th across the whole of the South Alicante league – Beagles away to Monte Mar Matadors. With just a few drops of rain in Gran Alicant, the Beagles excelled to win 11 points to 1, 111 shots to 54. While all teams did well, the best rink, with an impressive score of 33:4, once again belonged to Margaret Patterson, John Raby & Stuart Denholm. The Winter League team played 2 games this week. The usual Wednesday game saw them go up north to El Cid. They came away with a just 4 points, 77 shots to 87 but the result does not tell the entire story with two rinks losing thanks to the opposition’s last bowls. The 2 winning teams were Ian Robertson, Brian Allen, Val Hignett & Lin Miller, 18:14, and Allan Patterson, Bob Graham, Johnny Raby & Carol Broomfield, 19:15. The team then played again on Thursday afternoon, home to Quesada. The squad certainly seemed to enjoy this, as the result was a great win, 10:2, with the losing team missing out by just 1 shot. The best rink this time belonged to Noel Davis, David Johnson, Gail Willshire & Fred Willshire, 26:11. On Friday, the Bulldogs greeted the El Rancho Mustangs and gave them a bit of a mauling, 11:1 and 109 shots to 76. The top trio was Meg Brownlee, Reg Cooper & Lynn Greenland who had a great win 26:9. The Boxers, unfortunately couldn’t match this result, away at El Rancho, facing the Broncos. With a win from Margaret Mackney, Frank Scotthern & Jack Jackson, 18:12, and two draws, the team came away with 4 points, 71 shots to 104.

Blue hope, tough math: Alabama Democrats eye November

Blue hope, tough math: Alabama Democrats eye November

Kim Chandler, Associated Press

Published 10:21 am, Saturday, June 30, 2018

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Democrats – for years obliterated from all statewide offices in the Deep South and deeply red state – go into the fall election season with high optimism, but fighting tough math and historical trends, as they seek to build off last year’s victory of U.S. Sen. Doug Jones.

Buoyed by Jones’ victory as the first Democrat elected to the U.S. Senate from the state in a quarter century, Democrats have newfound energy heading into the November election. Walt Maddox, the mayor of Tuscaloosa turned Democratic nominee for governor, leads what many Democrats say is their strongest ticket in decades, as he mounts a challenge against incumbent Republican Gov. Kay Ivey.

The governor’s race is “probably the most competitive race that we’ve seen in a couple of decades,” Jones said.

“Democrats really need to focus on the issues that people care about every day,” Jones said. “That’s their health care, their jobs, their wages, education for their children,” Jones said.

While the hope is high, the math remains daunting for Democrats.

Republicans held all statewide offices until Jones’ December win over Republican Roy Moore in the special election to fill Jeff Sessions’ Senate seat. Alabama has not elected a Democrat as governor since 1998 when Gov. Don Siegelman ran on a platform — like Maddox is today — of establishing a state lottery to fund education.

Primary numbers suggest much heavier voter interest on the GOP side. More than a half million voters cast ballots in the GOP gubernatorial primary on June 5 — with 330,743 of those votes going to Ivey alone — while only 283,081 people voted in the Democratic gubernatorial primary.

“That’s not a blue wave. That’s a red tsunami continuing,” Alabama Republican Party Chairwoman Terry Lathan said.

Lathan and other Republicans have argued that Jones’ December victory over Roy Moore in the special election for U.S. Senate was an anomaly. Moore was a polarizing candidate figure, after twice being ousted from chief justice duties, and then became dogged by sexual misconduct allegations during the campaign. Moore still almost won, Lathan said.

Jones said he understands that argument is out there, but he thinks it is misguided.

“They just don’t fully comprehend the energy that is out there for change,” Jones said

Democrats have a stronger ticket in November than they’ve had in several election cycles, said Bill Stewart, a political scientist and longtime observer of state politics.

Maddox, campaigning on a platform of establishing a state lottery to fund education, argues that Alabama’s progress has stagnated.

“Alabama is still 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th and 50th in everything that matters. We have got to have leadership that is focused on the next generation,” Maddox said after his June 5 win.

Ivey campaign spokeswoman Debbee Hancock said in a statement after the primary that the voting numbers don’t match Democrats’ narrative that “the momentum and enthusiasm are on their side.”

“This so called ‘blue wave’ is a joke,” she said.

An unknown for Democrats headed into election season is if they can raise the campaign funds to be competitive in advertising.

Ivey has so far enjoyed a tremendous financial advantage, raising more than $4 million to Maddox’s $1 million.

However, just as Republicans were aided by a series of Democratic corruption scandals as they became the dominant party in state politics, Democrats are hoping to capitalize on recent scandals in the GOP — including the resignation of former Gov. Robert Bentley and the ethics conviction of House Speaker Mike Hubbard.

Historian Wayne Flynt said he is writing in an upcoming history book that the state ought to contemplate, “changing its motto from ‘We Dare Defend Our Rights” to “often embarrassing, but never boring.”

“In 2010, Alabamians voted Republican because they thought Republicans would end the corruption only to now have the Republican Party just like the old Democratic Party. Maybe what we are moving toward now is a genuine two party system,” Flynt said.

SFJAZZ Collective, Remembering Miles, All About Jazz

https://www.allaboutjazz.com/sfjazz-collective-remembering-miles-sfjazz-collective-by-rj-deluke.php

By R.J. DELUKE

May 18, 2017

The SFJAZZ Collective has been operating since 2004. In the beginning, it may have seemed to some as just another all-star collection of musicians who strut their stuff for a while, then go about their own business. It has shown over time it is much different.

The format—eight outstanding musicians banding together to play the music of jazz icons, works hard at what the band was designed for: a leaderless, democratic group where musicians write arrangements that re-imagine works of the particular artist selected each year as the tribute showcase for the tour. They must also write and arrange a new piece each season. The band has a reputation as one of the fine touring groups. Some of the members, like founding memberJoshua Redman and saxophonist Joe Lovano moved on after awhile. But they were replaced by some of the finest individual players on the scene. And through a lot of serious work, they meld together.

The SFJAZZ Collective is currently comprised of alto saxophonist Miguel Zenon, tenor saxophonistDavid Sanchez, vibraphonist Warren Wolf, trumpeter Sean Jones, trombonist Robin Eubanks, pianist Edward Simon, bassist Matt Penman and drummer Obed Calvaire.

Each year, the band records a live CD that documents their outstanding concerts. People selected in the past to be the subject of the annual tribute include John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock,Thelonious Monk, Wayne Shorter, Stevie Wonder and Chick Corea, among others. The new CD, released in March, is SFJAZZ Collective: Music of Miles Davis & Original Compositions, Live: SFJAZZ Center 2016. It was recorded live in 2016 at the SFJAZZ Collective's home base, the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco. The two-disc album features new arrangements of the classic works composed by and associated with Miles Davis and new original compositions by collective members.

Each arrangement on the Miles side brings fresh interesting takes on the music. The solos are universally excellent. The band is tight. It bears repeated listening.

Davis' music includes "So What," "Milestones," "Nardis," "Bitches Brew," "Tutu" and more. The original tunes and arrangements don't take a back seat. They are engaging and present different approaches and textures because each springs from a different member of the band.

With the spring tour essentially done, All About Jazz spoke to trumpeter Jones and saxman Zenón to talk about the group.

Born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Zenón is seen as one of the bright young talents, as a writer and player. He has nine recordings as a leader, including the Grammy-nominated Identities are Changeable. Earlier this year he released Tipico. As a sideman he has worked with jazz luminaries such as Charlie Haden, Danilo Perez, Fred Hersch and Steve Coleman.

Jones, an impassioned player with monster chops, tours regularly with his own ensembles and has seven recordings as a leader. He's played with a list of great jazzmen and spent some time with the Jazz at Lincoln Center orchestra. He is also a renowned teacher and has taught at Duquesne University, Oberlin Conservatory and Berklee College of Music. He serves as artistic director of both the Pittsburgh and Cleveland Jazz Orchestras.

All About Jazz: What do you like about the SFJAZZ organization?

Sean Jones: The best thing about being in the band is there is no leader. We all contribute equally to the sound of the band. We're all responsible for two pieces each season. It's special for me, because I enjoy being a sideman, but I don't like being a sideman with the idea in mind that I don't have a say in what's going on. This is kind of the best situation for me. I get to be a leader in the band. But at the same time I can play other folks' music and learn how they conduct themselves as leaders. So it's really fun, man."

Miguel Zenon: I've been with the band since the first year. There's a couple things about the group that make it really unique, especially in today's jazz world—we don't have an official band leader. It's great because we all take turns doing that, depending on the situation. We take everything to a vote. We make all the decisions collectively. Also we get to write a lot of music for the band and get a long time to work on that music, to rehearse it. So it opens the door to experiment and things, in terms of difficulty, that probably wouldn't happen in other circumstances.

It's my 14th season in the band. Speaking for me, I've been able to play with some of my heroes I grew up listening to and emulating their records and solos. I've been able to play side-by-side with them and learn from them and create a fellowship with this large group of people that have gone through the band. So for me, it's been a special experience.

AAJ: Must be fun to play in a band with these excellent musicians.

Jones: The other thing that's great is we actually have a pretty large amount of time to put the music together. Every fall we get together and rehearse for basically two and a half weeks. We play six to eight hours a day. You can really get tight in that amount of time.

AAJ: There's something to learn from everyone.

Jones: Everybody has something different that they bring to the table. Some people are really meticulous about what they want. Other people, like me, are kind of loose. I like to lead by corralling different ideas together and putting them into a concise thought. It's really nice.

Zenon: Something like this you can only take things from it. It's been an amazing experience for me, that's for sure.

AAJ: How much of a challenge is it for each of you to come up with tunes that you need for that season?

Zenon: Once you get in the flow of how the band works, you get used to the players and how it works in terms of the rehearsal period. We make the decisions collectively, so we even choose the composers we're going to focus on. Next year, people can choose their tunes, first-come, first-served basis. It usually flows pretty seamlessly.

Jones: I really enjoy that. And I know the cats can play whatever I write, so that's really nice.

AAJ: It's gotta be nice playing other people's charts as well.

Zenon: For me that's the greatest thing about it. It's great to bring your own music and get it played by such a high level of musicianship. But for me, I've always enjoyed playing with other people. That's kind of why I got into this in the first place. It's great to play with so many wonderful musicians, get to play their music and learn about their personalities, their concepts and approaches.

AAJ:This tour features the music of Miles Davis. Does that have extra significance for you, Sean, as a trumpet player?

Jones: Of course. Since I left Jazz at Lincoln Center, I've kind of found myself in many Miles tribute scenarios. The first one was with Marcus Miller's Tutu Revisited tour. After that, Terrence Blanchardand I did a tribute to Miles and his collaboration with Gil Evans. We did that a few times. Then I went on the road with Marcus Miller, Herbie and Wayne and I did another tribute. Now here I am with the Collective doing Miles.

Miles was the first jazz music I ever heard. In sixth grade my teacher gave me the record Kind of Blue and he also gave me Tutu. When I heard that, it kind of changed the trajectory of my life. Although I was pretty young. I was kind of a nerd. [chuckles] My folks wanted me to go into medicine or something like that. But Miles got me. I don't regret it.

Zenon: He's one of the great figures of this music, or any music really. He's one of the first musicians that attracted me to jazz in the first place. When I started getting into the music, it was his records that made me fall in love with jazz. So it's great to explore it. He's such a seminal figure, not only as an instrumentalist, but as a conceptualist, as a leader, as a composer. He dictated the direction of this music for many, many decades.

Jones: Also, as a leader I really like the idea that he chose people to be themselves. His band changed because he allowed musicians in the band to kind of put their own vision forward. That's what I like to do as a leader.

AAJ: [To Jones] On the CD, you arranged "So What." Was that fun for you?

Jones:It was a lot of fun. It was challenging, man, because if you do too much with it, it kind of takes away from what the tone is. The tune is pretty simple, and it wants to be simple. So what I tried to do is celebrate the answer to the bass line a little bit more than the bass line. The bass line is still there, but it's disrupted by the punches. I also took choruses of Miles' solo and created solos for the band. It was a lot of fun.

AAJ: You also did "Hutcherson's Hug."

Jones: I didn't have the opportunity to play in the Collective with Bobby Hutcherson, but one of my favorite stories is that he liked to start every rehearsal off by hugging people. So I thought that was cool. He wanted the spirit in the room to be right. I decided to write a piece based on that hug. It features Warren Wolf on the vibes.

Jones: [To Zenon] You arranged "Nardis." what was that process like?

Zenon: Once I pick a tune, I pick if for a reason. In this case when it came time to arrange the piece I was really into music from places in eastern Europe, especially the Balkans. Almost like gypsy music in a way. Bulgaria. Czech Republic. Places like that. I was checking out a lot of music that had this non-Western element to the melodies. "Nardis" is already embedded in the tune. It kind of called out to me. It kind of flowed in an organic way. I made it fit into what I was working with at the time. I was transcribing a lot of this music, getting into a lot of the phrases and the scales. I just put "Nardis" through the filter of all that folkloric music from those regions, to try to get something that made sense.

AAJ: And you wrote and arranged "Tribe."

Zenon: The arrangement process was very similar [with "Nardis"]. You're a couple steps ahead. You're starting with a tune that already exists. When you have an original, you have to come with a seed and then make that grow into a full tune. I've been doing this for a few years now, writing music that is very specifically written for this band. It grew out of this strong rhythmic idea that proceeds from the drum set and has a tribal feel to it. I made the whole tune grow out of that. A short rhythmic cell that finds itself repeated and reprised throughout the composition. I built it up that way.

AAJ: How is the fan support at the gigs?

Jones: It's great. Doing a live CD, you have home court advantage. We're in San Francisco. Each show was sold out. So that energy comes across on the record. But the music is also well received on the road. The band has such a wonderful balance of complexity, soulfulness, a lot of different rhythms. It's really a journey for the listener to check out the band. I think we found a really nice balance.

AAJ: Will you stay with the group for the next tour?

Jones: That's the plan, unless something else comes along. I'll probably be with the band for a little while. You never know with me. I don't like to stay in one band for too long. You can kind of get comfortable. But I'm definitely committed to sticking with the band for the foreseeable future because it's not a typical band. It's different every single year. Last year it was drastically different from this year.

Zenon: I'm extremely proud to be part of it. To be art of something that's been going on for so long. It's something to be proud of. It's such a unique situation. We don't know how long it's going to last It might go for 20 more years. I might go for three years. As long as we can keep this momentum going, it's something to feel great about.

AAJ: What's going on this year after the Collective?

Jones: I'm going to go back and finish the semester at Berklee College of Music. I'm the chair of the brass department now. While I'm on tour, I've been going back and forth to teach and take care of things with the department. I'm looking forward to the summer. Each person has different things... I'll be putting out a record on May 26, Live at the Jazz Bistro with my quintet. I'm really excited about that. We have a lot of summer gigs coming up for that.

AAJ: Your album this year, how is that going?

Zenon: Great. We did a long tour in the spring in the States. We have another one in Europe in the summer. And another in the fall. We're getting a lot of good feedback. I'm really happy about how things turned out.
