Great episode of the Hot Jazz Network Podcast with host George Cole taking time to converse with Kurt Ribak and learning a lot about him and his musical universe.ABOUT KURT RIBAK:Kurt describes his music as “Charles Mingus meets The Meters. They go to Duke Ellington's house to jam, and Cachao and Thelonious Monk sit in.” Kurt has three albums as the Kurt Ribak Trio, and two more as Kurt Ribak. The albums feature his own compositions, which are original yet accessible. Kurt grew up singing and playing classical music. He began playing jazz while attending UC Berkeley. After a battle with tendinitis, Kurt won scholarships to Berklee College of Music. He graduated with top honors and spent many hours mastering the styles of bassists Paul Chambers, Ray Brown, and Charles Mingus and discovering his love of composition and songwriting. Kurt has shared the stage with circus performers, preachers and fire-breathing strippers, but never all three at once. He has performed in venues ranging from SFJAZZ and Yoshi's to a club where someone surreptitiously stashed a loaded .45 in his bass bag while Kurt was playing .In June 2012 Kurt was in an auto accident, seriously injuring his left hand and forearm. Thirteen operations and six years later he resumed playing full-time, much to the surprise of many surgeons. Kurt notes, “When I was hurt I learned how many people loved me, cared about me. That really helped me get back to playing."Kurt's recordings are played on KCSM-FM, KPFA, KZFR, KKUP, San Diego's Jazz 88, PRI and other jazz stations. His band has sold out Yoshi's and SFJAZZ. They have also performed at Freight & Salvage Coffeehouse, San Francisco Jazz Festival, San Jose Jazz Festival, Nor-Cal Jazz Festival, Fillmore Street Jazz Festival, and Blue Note Napa.

In the days since abortion became heavily restricted or illegal, pregnancy resource centers have been getting more financial support in states like Mississippi. These places aren't substitutes for health care, but in some maternity care deserts, they're one of the last remaining options for pregnant people. The Gulf States Newsroom's Maya Miller takes us inside one of these centers and introduces us to the unlikely person at the helm.

This sermon is for June 25, 2011Jazz ServiceClick HERE to listen. So, what do you do?(June 25th was the date of our first Jazz Service. Hopefully soon we will have our photos up at our Photo Page and maybe even have the video of it on YouTube)In every instance of small talk with strangers sooner or later you get to the "do-be-do" question ("So...what do you do?") We aren't asking what you do for a living, we are actually asking who you are. Beware, sometimes the answer to that question can surprise you...Romans 6:12-236:12 Therefore, do not let sin exercise dominion in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions.6:13 No longer present your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and present your members to God as instruments of righteousness. 6:14 For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. 6:15 What then? Should we sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means! 6:16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness? 6:17 But thanks be to God that you, having once been slaves of sin, have become obedient from the heart to the form of teaching to which you were entrusted, 6:18 and that you, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness. 6:19 I am speaking in human terms because of your natural limitations. For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and to greater and greater iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness for sanctification. 6:20 When you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. 6:21 So what advantage did you then get from the things of which you now are ashamed? The end of those things is death. 6:22 But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life. 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Darkness is never darkness in your sight the deepest night is clear as the day light.
