TU JAZZ CON SABOR A CLUB.-.Kurt Elling & the Yellowjackets .-60º Jazzaldia.--48º Jazz Vitoria Gasteiz Toquinho & Yamandú Costa El cantante norteamericano Kurt Elling, una de las voces más destacadas del jazz actual, y el grupo Yellowjackets, una de las bandas de jazz fusión más importantes de la historia del jazz, han unido sus fuerzas para rendir homenaje a una de las bandas más icónicas del jazz fusión como fueron Weather Report. Sólo por recordar por si hay algún despistado en la sala: Weather Report fue fundado por el teclista austriaco Joe Zawinul y el saxofonista norteamericano Wayne Shorter, y a lo largo de su dilatada historia pasaron por la banda músicos de la talla de Jaco Pastorius, Miroslav Vitouš, Alphonse Mouzon, Don Alias, Airto Moreira, Alphonso Johnson, Leon ‘Ndugu’ Chancler, Chester Thompson, Alex Acuña, Manolo Badrena, Peter Erskine, Omar Hakim, Victor Bailey, Mino Cinélu, Steve Gadd y Tony Williams. Pura historia del jazz de los años setenta y ochenta. Y todo sin contar que su ‘ Black Market’ es uno de los mejores temas de jazz fusión de toda la historia del jazz. Kurt Elling and Yellowjackets, que eran el plato fuerte de la primera noche de los conciertos en la plaza de la Trinidad, tuvieron un enemigo inesperado, bueno no tanto, la lluvia. Y por muy aficionado al jazz que seas, es muy difícil lograr la complicidad de un público mojado hasta los huesos aunque este cubierto de un fino poncho de plástico. La propuesta del cantante y del grupo es un muy buen ejercicio de puro vocalese; esto es, poner letra a canciones que eran sólo instrumentales. Y de esta manera el repertorio de Weather Report se ve enriquecido tanto por las propias letras como por la estupenda voz de Elling. A lo largo de su actuación sonaron temas como ‘A Remark You Made’, ‘Three Views of a Secret’, ‘Continuum’ y, por supuesto, ‘Black Market’ que dejaron para el final. Yellowjackets se mostró como una banda que sabe acompañar muy bien a cantantes, como ya demostraron hace años en el mismo Jazzaldia pero acompañando a Bobby McFerrin en un concierto inolvidable, y que no desmerece en nada en sus interpretaciones a los originales. Lástima de lluvia que fue, al igual que en otras ediciones, un invitado desagradable durante toda la celebración del 60 Jazzaldia. Antonio Pecci, conocido mundialmente como Toquinho, forma parte de una generación de músicos, junto a Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque y Gilberto Gil, que configuraron una nueva forma de entender el arte musical de su país. A lo largo de sus casi seis décadas de carrera, Toquinho, que comenzó sus estudios de guitarra con 14 años con el músico Paulinho Nogueira, ha experimentado y evolucionado hasta convertirse en un guitarrista y cantautor con personalidad propia. Sus más de 40 discos editados e innumerables giras mundiales le han convertido en un referente de la difusión de la bossa nova y el jazz tropical. Toquinho compartirá escenario con un compatriota suyo, considerado uno de los mayores talentos de la guitarra actual: Yamandu Costa. Hace dos años, el público del Festival de Jazz de Vitoria-Gasteiz fue testigo de su creatividad musical y su técnica absolutamente perfecta, con la guitarra de 7 cuerdas. Toquinho y Yamandu Costa colaboraron en el álbum Bachianinha, grabado en directo en el Festival de Jazz de Montreux, con el que ganaron el Latin Grammy 2021 a mejor álbum instrumental.

Having social media accounts hacked is stressful. Usually, companies have formal channels for users to regain access. But for Meta platforms like Facebook and Instagram, some users say the social media giant isn't responding.Now, a new kind of broker has sprung up, helping people locked out of their accounts connect with a Meta employee or contractor who can expedite their request … for the right price. In 2022, Meta fired or disciplined employees or contractors who had allegedly abused the internal account recovery system for bribes. Kathryn Blaze Baum, an investigative reporter at The Globe and Mail, and Alexandra Posadzki, The Globe's cybercrimes reporter, found that three years later, this is still happening.Today, Kathryn is on the show to talk about how this back-door process works, how Meta is cracking down on it, and where this leaves users who have had their accounts compromised.This episode originally aired June 13, 2025.Questions?

This is the episode you've been waiting for, with possibly one of our most highly-requested guests, talking about the dirt, grime, poor legislation, break-ins, and incredibly tough decisions of the industry that no one else has the cajones to say with their chest, let alone on camera. Grab your popcorn for this one.Blackleaf sits down in the FSOTD studio with the Elliot Lewis, the notoriously outspoken CEO of Catalyst Co, a vertically integrated operation with over 33+ dispensaries statewide, plus a consumption lounge, who also produce a slew of in-house brands, to get down to the nitty gritty of the Glass House Farms fiasco, where industry tax money REALLY goes, getting raided multiple times by the DCC, the prominence of dirty or poisonous products at smoke shops/trap shops, receiving death threats, owning 25% of Cali Plug, why Elliot has his CCW and stays strapped, and so much more.If you thought you knew the whole story with Glass House Farms dating back to Elliot's initial lawsuit against them, buckle up, because we really get into the entire debacle from start to finish. Elliot dives into deep detail about his inherent issues with Glass Houses's operations, segwaying into assertions that 90% of Black Market products come from the legal market, and for those like Glass House that've claimed clean noses throughout, and to be caught red-handed back-dooring product…their behavior only damages the playing field on both sides.You might be thinking this is just another episode with a very vocal guest, but Elliot goes so much further than rocking the boat. You'll hear him talk about the real efforts he's been making with his team to lobby for change at the legislative level in California, his “tax strike,” and how he found a loophole that enabled him to potentially save millions on his taxes, much to the dismay of the DCC. On top of all the crazy stories that Elliot lets loose during this pod, there's also multiple conversations about what might happen when big money enters the industry and how many players may sell and exit, how our tax money goes straight into the pockets of politicians and super PACs, where all the homeless and fire relief money has ACTUALLY gone in CA, and how he hopes that someday the people will put the right individuals in position, but if it's up to the current powers-that-be, nothing will ever change in terms of taxation, safe banking, and general profitability and longevity in the space.If you've ever wondered the full story on how Catalyst came into prominence, the partnership between Caleb at Connected and Elliot, how brands grew with them as they expanded locations, the grocery store model that have to implement these days to protect margins, as well as what it really takes to get your brand on their shelves, you have to sit through to the end to truly soak up all of Elliot's game and candid responses.It's almost impossible to detail every vital knowledge-drop, never-before-heard background story, and tokens of wisdom that Elliot lets loose throughout this extended episode. By the end, you'll understand why his slogan, “Weed for the people,” is basically tatted on his chest. If you've ever felt like it's impossible to build an empire in the industry off honesty, grit, and never once “selling out,” you can't miss a minute of this pod with one of California's most resilient retail operators.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key figures and enjoy conversations with trailblazers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

MARK ELLIS chats to Paul Burke about his new historical crime thriller Death of an Officer and Boom Time an account of crime in WWII London.DEATH OF AN OFFICER: London. Spring 1943. While Europe continues to suffer under the iron fist of Nazi occupation, Britain remains battered but unbowed.DCI Frank Merlin, already contending with a booming wartime crime wave in the capital, is confronted with a baffling case: the brutal murder of a respected doctor.Following a puzzling trail that leads him into the hidden corners of clubland - and which appears to be linked to the disappearance of both British and American officers - Merlin must untangle a dark web of shocking secrets.Boom Time The accepted story of the Home Front during the Second World War is one of cooperation and teamwork as people across Britain linked arms to provide support for the war effort. Right? Wrong. Crime rates actually increased during the war years. Think foreign gangs roaming through London is a recent phenomenon? Think again as Maltese and Italians cornered the organised crime world. And what about the Black Market? Well, business was booming. As gangster Mad ‘Frankie' Fraser later said, ‘I'll never forgive Hitler for surrendering, we were making so much money!' And what about the Americans? Healthy appetites, charm and good looks were not the only thing they brought with them. Also racial segregation and a veritable army of criminals.MARK ELLIS is a thriller writer from Swansea and a former barrister and entrepreneur. He is the creator of DCI Frank Merlin, an Anglo-Spanish police detective operating in World War 2 London. His books treat the reader to a vivid portrait of London during the war skilfully blended with gripping plots, political intrigue and a charismatic protagonist. Recommendations: Ragnar Jonasson, Simon Mason, Eric Ambler, Gore Vidal, Andrew Lonie, Phil Craig, Chips Channon, Len Deighton, Kingsley Amis.Film: Chicago Joe and the Showgirl with Emily Lloyd & Keifer Sutherland Paul Burke writes for Monocle Magazine, Crime Time, Crime Fiction Lover and the European Literature Network, Punk Noir Magazine (fiction contribution).

We turn our attention to the Netherlands on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, as Ted Orme-Claye of SBC News steps into the host's chair, joined by his namesake, Ted Menmuir, to discuss the Dutch market, a jurisdiction shrouded in political instability that puts the betting market at risk. Later in the episode, Viktor Kayed calls in live from an incredibly well timed Gaming in Holland conference, and gives updates on the discussions from the conference rooms in Amsterdam. Firstly, the two Teds discuss the collapse of the Dutch four-party coalition, the impact of this political instability on the betting market, give some context as to why coalitions across Europe have led to less secure regulatory environments, and highlight existing Dutch gambling regulations, such as age restrictions, advertising bans, and deposit limits.There is also a large focus on the black market, something that poses a serious threat to the regulated market in the Netherlands, and where the Dutch regulators, the KSA, stand on all of this.

When Washington state legalized marijuana back in 2012, one of the big goals was to displace the black market, bring weed out of the shadows, and take the power away from dealers and traffickers. But more than a decade later, the ILLEGAL weed industry is still thriving in Washington, and that’s taking a toll on LEGAL cannabis businesses. Meanwhile, the SYSTEM for keeping track of legally produced weed is broken. That has raised concerns about diversion into the black market, as well as lost money, product safety, and more.

After a one-year absence, 2025 marked a return of Alec Bradley to the Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. Alec Bradley was not at the 2024 Trade Show because partner company STG decided to alternate between the brands of General and Forged, and 2024 was a year for General. It was odd not seeing Alec Bradley at the Trade Show, as they had been a staple of PCA/IPCPR Trade Shows for as long as I can remember.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Are Meta's policies still favoring censorship?

The trafficking of weapons meant for warzones often involves complex networks of arms dealers, corrupt officials, and organized crime groups. Here's a summary of how this process generally unfolds:AcquisitionConflict Zones: Weapons are initially acquired from conflict zones, where they are often plentiful due to ongoing wars or civil unrest.Military Surplus: Arms dealers obtain surplus weapons from military stockpiles. These might be obsolete or excess to the needs of the armed forces.Black Market: Weapons can also be sourced from the black market, where they are sold illegally by corrupt military personnel or officials.TransportationSmuggling Routes: Arms dealers use established smuggling routes to transport weapons. These routes often overlap with those used for drug trafficking.Bribes and Corruption: Bribes are paid to corrupt border officials, customs agents, and police to facilitate the smooth transit of weapons across borders.Disguised Shipments: Weapons are hidden in shipments of legal goods, such as food or machinery, to avoid detection.DistributionCriminal Networks: Weapons are sold to organized crime groups, gangs, or other non-state actors. These groups use their existing distribution networks to move the weapons further.Drug Cartels: Arms dealers often trade weapons directly for drugs. This is particularly common in regions where drug cartels operate, as they have both the resources and the demand for firearms.Barter System: In some cases, weapons are bartered for other illicit goods or services, including drugs, making it a mutually beneficial exchange for both parties.Final Sale or TradeEnd Users: The end users of these trafficked weapons can range from gang members and drug cartels to terrorist organizations and insurgent groups.Profit Generation: The sale or trade of weapons for drugs allows arms dealers to profit significantly, which they reinvest into further illegal activities.Market Dynamics: The illicit arms market is influenced by supply and demand. As conflicts flare up or as the need for drugs increases, the trafficking patterns and prices fluctuate accordingly.ImpactViolence and Instability: The influx of trafficked weapons exacerbates violence and instability in both conflict zones and areas plagued by drug-related crime.Enforcement Challenges: Law enforcement agencies face significant challenges in tracking and intercepting these illegal arms due to the sophisticated methods used by traffickers.About a year ago we were having the discussion about MANPADS and other shoulder fired systems falling into the hands of the cartels and the legacy media was quick to deny it.   Well, like usual, it would seem as if the legacy media wasn't exactly telling you the truth.    So in this episode, we are going to swim through the muck and find some clarity.(commercial at 12:59)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Mexican cartels boast of increased firepower, including U.S. weapons (usatoday.com)
