J'espère que vous aimez le saxophone ! A l'occasion de la présence de l'excellent JOHN HELLIWELL, LE saxophoniste de SUPERTRAMP durant tout ce week-end à Blain (44) dans le cadre du festival MOVIES ON THE ROCKS, la 1ère partie de ce numéro est consacré au Maître de Cérémonie des super clochards. Sans doute l'ultime occasion de voir cette légende dans la région !  A L'origine de ce festival, le nantais ALAN SIMON entre autres cordes à son arc, auteur-compositeur et réalisateur. Donc bien légitime pour organiser cet évènement alliant 7ème Art et rock ! L'occasion de vous faire quelques toiles (dès ce vendredi soir avec "Woodstock") et d'assister à des concerts, notamment de notre John et son "Big Tramp" qui reprendra les grands standards de Supertramp à la sauce jazz, mais aussi CALI et pour la fin en apothéose dimanche soir : Excalibur, le fameux concert mythique (5 albums au compteur depuis sa création par Alan en 1998, qui a réuni autour de la Table Ronde un grand nombre de Ladies et Chevaliers souvent issus de la scène progressive et souvent entendus dans cette émission ! ).  Durant la première demi-heure de cet épisode d'Amarok on retrouve donc John et son instrument sur un extrait live (histoire de vous mettre dans l'ambiance ! ) de SUPERTRAMP, le fameux enregistrement au Pavillon de Paris en 1979 avec un titre vocalement interprété par le regretté Rick Davies, le co-fondateur de la formation qui nous a quittés il y a quelques mois (je vous renvoie au replay du numéro d'Amarok du 11/09/2025, 2ème numéro de la saison qui lui était en grande partie consacrée.). Puis John avec sa formation jazz pour une reprise du répertoire de ses anciens collègues sur l'album "JOHN HELLIWELL' Supertramp Big Tramp" paru l'année dernière. Depuis plusieurs années, John se produit et sort des albums de jazz, avec un son tout à son image sereine, flegmatique à l'anglaise et pour l'avoir rencontré à quelques reprises, charmant et accessible. Bref, il ressemble à sa façon de jouer !  Je ne pouvais pas évoquer ce festival organisé par ALAN SIMON et qui se terminera dimanche soir par des extraits de sa fameuse saga Excalibur, sans vous en proposer un bel exemple ! J'ai choisi un titre issu de l'album le plus récent de l'épopée, le volume V : "Moves, Cry, Act, Clash!" sorti en 2021. Sur cet extrait, John, of course, mais aussi Jesse Siebenberg au chant (le fils du batteur de Supertramp Bob Siebenberg et qui avait rejoint le groupe aux côtés de son père il y a quelques années). Enfin, le magicien de la six cordes , ex-Genesis : STEVE HACKETT himself !  Cette première partie se termine avec PINK FLOYD, dont le guitariste David Gilmour avait été invité sur le titre éponyme de l'album "Brother Where You Bound" de Supertramp paru en 1985. Une fresque déjà incroyable mais que Gilmour avait sublimée ! Le nouveau patron du Floyd invitera à son tour John pour le nouvel album du Floyd "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" en 1987 et qu'on retrouve donc encore ici. A notez pour l'anecdote que ces deux albums évoqués sont particuliers pour chaque groupe : premier disque sans Roger Hodgon pour l'un et sans Roger Waters pour l'autre …  Laissons John reprendre son souffle pour le festival de Blain.  Mais le dernier titre de cette première partie de l'émission est encore du PINK FLOYD (veinards ! ). Cela dit j'aurais préféré me passer d'avoir à rendre cet hommage. En effet, vendredi dernier, le 22 mai, Dick Parry s'en est allé… Les fans du Floyd savent la contribution que ce saxophoniste a pu apporter sur quelques uns de leurs albums et concerts des 70's : "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here" et son retour sur l'album "The Divison Bell" en 1994 ainsi que sur le live consécutif "Pulse". J'ai eu la chance d'assister à l'un de ces concerts de 1994, quoi qu'on en dise sur le Floyd post-Waters, c'était fabuleux !  Et puis pour clore cette partie saxo de l'émission, sachez qu'un grand musicien nous a quittés cette semaine : SONNY Rollins (qui s'était illustré aux côtés et entre autres de Miles Davis, Charlie Parker ou encre John Coltrane, nous a quitté ce lundi à l'âge vénérable de 95 ans (le souffle ça conserve !)    Pour la seconde partie de l'émission, on commence avec une plongée les 70's avec CAMEL, vu les températures, voilà un groupe de circonstances, hydratez vous !! A ces fins, je vous ai choisi un extrait de "Rain Dances" de 1977 et l'occasion d'évoquer encore un peu l'instrument guest de la 1ère partie de l'émission puisque cet album est marqué par l'arrivée de Mel Collins au saxo, qui pour expérience sur son CV, peut s'enorgueillir d'y inscrire King Crimson. Collins qu'on retrouvera notamment chez Alan Parsons Project dans les 80's et qui surtout sera demandé par tous les plus grands. On le retrouvera alors dans une liste de collaborations plus grandes que mon bras, et pourtant j'ai le bras long !! L'exploration de l'excellent "Out Of Step" des non moins talentueux ESTHESIS se poursuit avec cette fois, un instrumental, titre de clôture de l'album. Et si Aurélien Goude est à l'origine du projet Esthesis, son auteur-compositeur, ce titre a la particularité d'être co-signé avec ses musiciens talentueux qui font partie de l'esthétique sonore du groupe. Bravo à Arnaud (batterie), Marc (basse), Rémi (guitare) et Mathilde (vocaux) car Aurélien, outre ses capacités d'écriture, a aussi ce talent de réunir les gens compétent nécessaires pour faire fonctionner son projet, comme je vous incite à le constater le 26 septembre prochain à l'Alhambra de Paris 1ère partie des cultissimes IQ  ! Avertissement pour le titre suivant : SUNO est à la manœuvre. Normalement pour moi c'est un gros mot ! Il s'agit en effet du célèbre logiciel de création par IA. Et par principe j'évite d'en diffuser. Toutefois, l'histoire de DICK DER HEIJDE est particulière. Né en 1963, ce musicien néerlandais fut victime d'un AVC à l'âge de 28. Totalement paralysé, cet amateur de rock progressif ne pourra s'exprimer que par clignement de l'œil pour communiquer puis interagir avec un ordinateur. Il deviendra critique musical ayant ,de fait, du renoncer à la pratique musicale.  Mais la technologie apportée par l'IA vient de lui changer la vie en lui permettant par un usage intelligent (humainement), d'exprimer musicalement ses émotions et notamment son syndrome d'enfermement. Alors oui, la production, les instruments et même le chant sont crées artificiellement, mais l'émotion exprimée est bien humaine. Alors après réflexion j'ai décidé de diffuser un extrait de son 1er album, fort justement intitulé  "Locked In". Je n'encourage pas dans Amarok l'usage de l'IA aux fins de création mais dans ce contexte bien précis et touché par l'histoire de Dick,  j'avais à cœur de relayer les émotions qu'il à légitimement souhaité (et je pense réussi) à y véhiculer. Savez-vous que la Lorraine est hardie !! Je sais elle est facile ! En revanche le musicien suivant qui en est originaire est exigent et compétent ! Dans tous les domaines :  production, ingé-son, multi-instrumentiste (même si la guitare reste son jouet de prédilection),  ayant collaboré avec nombre d'artistes tels que Aurore Reichert (Mira Cetii), Ange (et aussi l'ex-Ange Caroline Crozat). D'ailleurs séraphin Palméri,  le nouveau claviériste de la formation qui m'est chère, à participé aux synthés sur le nouvel album de JEAN-PASCAL BOFFO : "Inner World'". Comme sur le précédent opus, Fred Kempf était également de la partie. Encore une très belle réussite de Jean-Pascal que j'ai grand plaisir à vous recommander !  Pour terminer ce dernier numéro du mois, retour sur le JETHRO TULL des années 70, plus précisément en 1971 avec "Aqualung", ici dans sa version dépoussiérée par un savant remixage opéré par Steven Wilson. Si Ian Anderson a relancé l'entreprise il y a quelques années avec de nouveaux musiciens, on a plaisir ici à retrouver un Martin Barre en forme à la six cordes, Maître du barré qui fût d'ailleurs l'un des fameux chevaliers de la Table Ronde de la saga Excalibur d'Alan Simon évoqué en début d'émission ! Ayons tout de même une pensée pour Mick Abrahams, décédé fin 2025. Il était le guitariste d'origine mais ne joua que sur le 1er album du groupe ("This Was" en 1968). AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h

Using AI to Improve Transparency w/Charles Blain

Brad Swail welcomes Charles Blain—Houston Chronicle contributor, Manhattan Institute City Journal writer, Fox 26 panelist, author of the forthcoming The Brotherhood of Facts (Johns Hopkins Press, spring 2027), and founder of Local Insights.  Charles shares how an accidental AI-assisted review of Houston Metro contract documents uncovered a $215k-to-$4.2M ballooning deal tied to board chair conflicts—ultimately leading to cancellation after public pushback. He explains how Local Insights aggregates Texas local government data (budgets, bonds, agendas, campaign finance, property records, business ownerships, jail stats, court filings) into searchable dashboards, cross-references, trend alerts, and interrogatable interfaces—empowering everyday citizens, journalists, and activists to hold officials accountable without needing newsroom resources.  They discuss AI's role in leveling the civic playing field: parsing dense agendas, flagging anomalies, aiding open records fights, and educating users on government mechanics (strong vs. weak mayor systems, charters, CAFRs vs. budgets). Charles critiques Trump-era talk of banning institutional homebuyers (mostly mom-and-pop investors, not mega-corps) and argues Texas should focus on permitting reform, standardized processes, property tax relief (e.g., incentives for first-time buyers near aging parents), and deeper transparency mandates to boost affordability.  Essential for anyone tracking Texas local governance, transparency, housing policy, or AI in public accountability.

"Sales can just really wear you down because you're constantly going up against people not trusting you." - Amy Blain Sadly, most people don't trust salespeople, and honestly, can you blame them? Too many sales systems prioritize closing the deal over cultivating trust. In this unfiltered episode, Dr. Nadia Y. Brown sits down with Amy Blain, Sales Director at Porchlight Book Company and Founder of Shatter Sales, to explore what happens when trust, not pressure, becomes the foundation of selling. With over 25 years of experience, Amy shares how she moved beyond transactional, quota-driven selling and into a relationship-first approach rooted in her philosophy: Connect. Cultivate. Close. Together, she and Dr. Nadia unpack how traditional sales training often fuels mistrust, the cultural realities women face in sales, and why so many women are turning to entrepreneurship to reclaim autonomy, flexibility, and financial power. This episode is a must-listen for founders, leaders, and sales professionals eager to implement trust-centered practices that boost revenue and team morale.  Trust isn't a "soft skill"; it's a revenue strategy that can transform your sales approach and results.   Connect with Amy: Shatter Sales Newsletter >  Shatter Sales Mastermind >  - Porchlight Website > Porchlight Newsletter >   Connect with Dr. Nadia: LinkedIn: @‌drnadia Instagram: @‌iamdrnadia Website: www.thedoyenneagency.com Email: hello@thedoyenneagency.com   Is it time for you to transition out of the sales role and focus on building or scaling your sales team?

The Author Events Series presents Keisha N. Blain | Without Fear: Black Women and the Making of Human Rights In Conversation with Timothy Welbeck Even before they were recognized as citizens of the United States, Black women understood that the fights for civil and human rights were inseparable. Over the course of two hundred years, they were at the forefront of national and international movements for social change, weaving connections between their own and others' freedom struggles around the world. Without Fear tells how, during American history, Black women made humans rights theirs: from worldwide travel and public advocacy in the global Black press to their work for the United Nations, they courageously and effectively moved human rights beyond an esoteric concept to an active, organizing principle. Acclaimed historian Keisha N. Blain tells the story of these women-from the well-known, like Ida B. Wells, Madam C. J. Walker, and Lena Horne, to those who are still less known, including Pearl Sherrod, Aretha McKinley, and Marguerite Cartwright. Blain captures human rights thinking and activism from the ground up with Black women at the center, working outside the traditional halls of power. By shouldering intersecting forms of oppression-including racism, sexism, and classism-Black women have long been in a unique position to fight for freedom and dignity. Without Fear is an account of their aspirations, strategies, and struggles to pioneer a human rights approach to combating systems of injustice. Keisha N. Blain is professor of Africana studies and history at Brown University. She is a Guggenheim, Carnegie, and New America Fellow, and author-most recently of the National Book Critics Circle Award finalist Until I Am Free. She lives in Providence, Rhode Island. Timothy Welbeck is the Director for the Center of Anti-Racism at Temple University. A Civil Rights Attorney by training, Timothy is a scholar of law, race, and cultural studies whose work has allowed him to contribute to various media outlets, such as the CNN, CBS, BBC Radio 4, The Washington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, NPR, The New York Times, and REVOLT TV.

This vital chronicle reframes the history of Black women's activism—not only as a fight for civil rights in the U.S., but as a global human rights struggle that continues to shape our world today. From Ida B. Wells's anti-lynching crusade that called out America on the world stage, to Madam C.J. Walker's international diplomacy, to Black women radicals who linked civil rights to anti-apartheid and Palestinian liberation, Dr. Blain uncovers how Black women's vision of justice has always been expansive, international, and transformative.

Blain also highlights the use of advanced technology in inspections, including drones and robots, to access hard-to-reach areas and provide detailed assessments. He stresses the importance of scheduling a home inspection promptly after an offer is accepted, as inspectors are often booked 7-10 days in advance.Red Cedar's BBB Spark Award SuccessBlain discusses the significance of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Spark Award, which Red Cedar Home Inspections won in 2025.
