kh1958

I had trouble with very slow delivery with an order placed in December. But the last order I placed about a week ago arrived in 3 or 4 days (Media Mail). The same was true for a January order.

Chico Freeman FREE Livestream Saturday February 27 2:30PM NY | 7:30PM London | 8:30PM Zurich from Moods, Zurich Switzerland On Saturday, February 27, join Chico Freeman Group on Chico's Facebook Page and JazzCorner's Facebook Page for an exciting and compelling concert from Moods in Zurich, Switzerland. The Chicago native, has been in lockdown in Switzerland since early 2020 and this is his first major performance since then. Saxophonist, composer and producer, Chico Freeman is always on the lookout for new ways of expressing himself in order to continue the legacy and tradition of jazz in a new guise. For this performance at Moods, he gathered a handful of outstanding musicians with different musical backgrounds: Amine M’Raihi is celebrated as a unique and innovative oud virtuoso, Jim Hart is considered one of the most inventive vibraphone players of his generation, bassist Emanuel Schnyder and drummer Luigi Galati provide the rhythmic foundation along with multi percussionist Alberto Garcia Navarro. Together they play music by Chico Freeman and by former companions, always looking for new approaches.

I took someone for dose 1 last Saturday; there were separate lines and vaccination stations for dose 1 and dose 2. Why would they do that if the doses are identical?

I saw him five or six times with Ornette Coleman and Prime Time, paired with Albert McDowell on the dual bass guitars, back in the 1980s. He was awesome. I've caught him twice in the last six or seven years at Winter Jazzfest (playing with Mark Ribot one time and Gary Bartz the other), and he still is.

In addition to some of the ones noted above, my favorites include Ronald Shannon Jackson, Shannon's House and What Spirit Say Big John Patton, This One's for Ja Robert Musso, Intermedium Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Dreamscape

In reality, wind turbine outages have been responsible for less than 13% of Texas’ total power shortages, the nonprofit electric grid overseer Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) told Bloomberg and local news outlets on Tuesday. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2021/02/16/wind-power-isnt-to-blame-for-texas-electricity-crisis/

I read this morning that most (87%) of the failures are gas and coal generators that were not winterized.

Not as bad as it might have been--it was 45 F early this morning inside. Finally the power came on and then went off (repeat and repeat)--bascially about six hours of power spread across the day. Well, we are having a highly unusual level of cold weather across the entire state, sending demand very high (but not as high as we have during heat waves in the summer). However, it appears the power generation companies did not do what was recommended the last time something similar happened about ten years ago--to appropriately winterize the power generators, resulting in many generators failing in the extreme cold and collapsing supply while demand was peaking. We also have the situation where the power industry has been privatized, so the industry is not really operated like a government monopoly utility any more. That may have something to do with it (what's the profit in preparing for the worse case scenario?) In addition, Texas has a large investment in wind power, which has been said to be failing at this point in the extreme cold.

Fourteen straight hours with no power last night (after two hours of power preceded by five hours with no power), while temperature plunged to Minus 2 F.

Louisiana Music Factory is a fine store worthy of a visit in New Orleans (also online), just a stone's throw from Snug Harbor.

The collaboration is very good; I saw a performance in Houston a couple years ago. Magos' voice is really beautiful.
