It appeared to me he kept soloing with his hands after Hino took away his drumsticks.

And the other villain in the story is the numbskull holding his or her cellphone up in the air making the video, without the slightest consideration of the people sitting behind.

When are the massed camera flashes?

Phineas Newborn, Here is Phineas (Atlantic/Koch Jazz)

Complete disagreement on Horn Culture. It's a wonderful album.

I don't think there are many blues/rock fans around these parts (rock is the devil that destroyed the blues). However, I've been harking back to that genre a bit lately, so thanks for the recommendation. I definitely like Eric Gales and Joe Louis Walker of the guests on the record. The closest I've been to Walter Trout was that he was playing in the Blues Tent at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival a couple of years ago while I was in the Jazz Tent listening to Geri Allen.

October 25 at Annette Strauss Square A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, Zakir Hussain is well-known for his constant explorations of music from around the world. His latest ensemble, CrossCurrents, attempts to portray all directions of inspiration between the idioms of jazz and Indian music. The great bassist Dave Holland, a player with one of the most distinguished careers in jazz, brings his singular vision to the group. The ensemble pays tribute to pioneering musicians and composers on opposite sides of the world who built a bridge which could be traversed in both directions. Hussain says of CrossCurrents: “The influence of Indian classical music on jazz is widely known. Less known, however, is the influence of jazz on the popular music of India. Jazz first came to India by way of the Hollywood musicals of the 1930s and’ 40s and quickly influenced the music of India’s burgeoning film industry. The improvisational nature of jazz was familiar to Indian composers and musicians, who found a way to incorporate jazz harmonies and chord progressions into their work. As a few decades passed, and as the West was enjoying the inspiration of Indian classical music, certain musicians came to influence popular music in India in a big way. Among these are jazz pianist Louiz Banks, jazz guitarist Sanjay Divecha, and superstar composer/vocalist Shankar Mahadevan.” CROSSCURRENTS IS: Zakir Hussain, tabla Dave Holland, bass Chris Potter, saxophone Ganesh Rajagopalan, violin/vocals Louiz Banks, keyboards Sanjay Divecha, guitar Gino Banks, drums FRIDAY OCTOBER 13 AT&T Performing Arts Center Dallas, TX Band: Herbie Hancock, Vinnie Colaiuta, James Genus, Terrace Martin

Well, I attended the two Marathon nights last year, heard nine bands, and there was not a trace of politics in anything I attended.

Sweet As Broken Dates, Lost Somali Tapes From the Horn of Africa (Ostinato)

From the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals in 1887: Willson, Judge. This conviction is for an aggravated assault and battery. The facts are, substantially, that defendant was a school teacher conducting a school; that the party assaulted, one W. Z. Nugent, a boy nine years of age, was a pupil in said school. This boy fought with other boys, but the fighting occurred away from the school house, and not during school hours. Among other rules of the school was one prohibiting the students from fighting. When it came to the knowledge of the defendant that this pupil and other pupils had been engaged in fighting, he punished all so engaged for a violation of said rule, by whipping them. He whipped the pupil, W. Z. Nugent, with a switch of reasonable size, and struck him about nine licks on the legs, inflicting no severe bruises, abrasions or other serious injury. These are the facts upon which this conviction is based, and in our judgment they do not sustain the conviction. Our law wisely provides that the exercise of moderate restraint or correction by a teacher over a scholar is legal, -- does not constitute an assault or battery. (Penal Code, art. 490, sub. div. 1.) It is not shown by the evidence that the correction administered by the teacher to his pupil in this instance was immoderate. It was merely an ordinary whipping with a small switch, such as many parents inflict upon their refractory boys, and such as should perhaps be more common among parents and teachers. That the punishment was inflicted for an infraction of a rule of the school, which infraction was committed away from the school house, and not during school hours, did not deprive the teacher of the legal right to punish the pupil for such infraction. (Bouldin v. The State, ante, p. 172.) Believing this conviction to be contrary to the evidence and the law, the judgment is reversed and the cause remanded. Reversed and remanded. Opinion delivered May 25, 1887
