Danielle Smith's extended political honeymoon, Naheed Nenshi's lukewarm debut, and Alberta's identity crisis — all captured in a fresh batch of polling data commissioned by CBC Calgary. On this episode of West of Centre Short, host Rob Brown speaks with pollster Janet Brown and data scientist John Santos to explore where Alberta's political winds are blowing at the halfway mark of the current UCP government's mandate.From voter impressions of the Alberta premier and her NDP challenger to shifting seat projections and separatist sentiment, the numbers tell a compelling story — one of “stick it to Ottawa” politics, polarization, and a province still wrestling with its feelings about Canada. *Note: This survey was conducted between May 7 and 21 with a representative sample of 1,200 Albertans. Margin of error is ±2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20. Fore more details, go to cbc.ca/calgary

Mario Bauza считается изобретателем латиноамериканского джаза в 40-х годах в Нью-Йорке. Но вскоре мейнстримовые джазовые музыканты стали смешивать два стиля — в то время афро-кубинский, в частности, с джазом. Dizzy Gillespie и Chano Pozo с хитом «Manteca» ввели латиноамериканский джаз в стандартный репертуар. А в 50-х годах латиноамериканский джаз взорвался, Tito Puente стал одной из его величайших звезд. Чуть позже Stan Getz получит признание за то, что присоединил бразильскую музыку к латиноамериканскому джазу. Когда я приехал в Сан-Франциско, там была яркая латиноамериканская джазовая сцена — John Santos, Roy Obiedo, Omar Sosa, Wayne Wallace, Dr. Loco и еще дюжина групп играли по всему городу. Я научился играть на фортепиано монтуну (кубинская древняя музыка) у великого Josh Jones, а также научился играть румбу в ночных клубах. Пианист George Shearing сделал 5 записей латинского джаза между 1957 -61 годами, 4 из них для Capitol Records и одну для MGM, все с вибрафоном в качестве ведущего инструмента. Я всегда любил эти альбомы Ширинга и искал возможность создать группу с вибрафоном. Спустя 20 лет после отъезда из Сан-Франциско и 3 года назад я стал штатным пианистом и музыкальным руководителем частного ресторана в роскошных высотных резиденциях Park 432. В своих попытках программировать разные виды музыки и при поддержке генерального директора Will Simons я создал эту группу, которая получила большой отклик. После множества концертов в 432 мы начали выступать по городу, получив еще больше откликов. И снова Denny Abrams понравилась идея, он включился в процесс и сделал запись. Я безмерно ему благодарен за это. Пьеса Шерига есть только на одном треке альбома. Но, проведя небольшое исследование, я выяснил, что отклик на участников его альбомов, есть на всх композициях, и я хотел бы перечислить их здесь: Armando Peraza, Toots Thielman, Emil Richards, Cal Tjader, Warren Chiasson, Al McKibbon, Percy Brice, Carl Pruitt, Roy Haynes, Bill Clark, Joe Roland, Denzil Best, Marcus Foster, Calino Rolon, Candido Camero и Dick Garcia.

Happy National Co-op Month! October is the time set aside across the globe to celebrate the important work of cooperatives and their contributions to local economies everywhere. This year, we're celebrating the power of cooperation among cooperatives, otherwise known as Cooperative Principle #6. For this episode, host Anastasia sat down with John Santos, General Manager of the soon to be opened Dorchester Food Co-op (Dorchester, MA). The Boston area has a long history with co-ops, and this newest iteration for the area is paying particular attention to their venture from a “public health perspective.” Anastasia and John discuss what exactly this means, what it's like opening a store in this “post-pandemic age,” and how the Co-op is embracing its spot in Boston's most diverse neighborhood. The Littleton Food Co-op is northern NH's first and only cooperative grocer. No membership is required to shop; all are welcome into the store! We offer local and organic produce, meat and seafood, specialty cheese, bulk items, craft beer and wine, and more. But more than just getting your groceries, we're a place to meet friends (old and new), learn a new cooking technique, and mingle with farmers and producers. The Co-op is made by and for the community, and membership is a great way to become involved in that community. Learn more at littletoncoop.com, or hop off Exit 41 in Littleton to say hi. See ‘ya at the Co-op!

In this beautiful, amazing stunner we cross the sweep of time from Chauvet Cave to Gobekli Tepe to Diana Pasulka's amazing comment that insiders are now calling the visitors our “sponsors” and then go beyond into some of the deepest and most brilliantly coherent speculations about our visitors ever recorded.We explore amazing questions, such as why is the “donation site” Diana Pasulka talks about in American Cosmic near the same location that, in the seventeenth century, Maria of Agreda bilocated and appeared to the local native American tribes? Then we go with John Santos into caves beneath Teotihuacan to find out how they “activated” knowledge traditions that are beginning to make sense in terms of the visitor experience.Never never never has there been anything like this conversation anywhere at any convention, or any podcast, show or anywhere!Jeff Kripal's website is JeffreyJKripal.com.

We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1.

Kristoff St. John is best known for his role on ‘The Young and the Restless' but the actor has much more than “soap star” on his resume. The NAACP award winner is releasing a new documentary, “A Man Called God” that took 33 years to film. “A Man Called GOD” is a documentary that was written and produced by “The Young and the Restless” star Kristoff St. John. It explores the St. John family traveling from Los Angeles to India in search of God. The documentary itself took place in 1980, and what the family would soon uncover is that their quest would turn into something more devilish than one would think. http://buzzworthyradiocast.com/?p=316 Music: Amikaelya, John Santos, Sweet Honey in the Rock
OMAR SOSAOmar Sosa (born April 10, 1965, in Camagüey, Cuba) is a composer, bandleader, and jazz pianist. Sosa began studying marimba at age eight, then switched to piano at the Escuela Nacional de Musica in Havana, where he studied jazz. Sosa moved to Quito, Ecuador, in 1993, then San Francisco, California, in 1995. In San Francisco he became deeply involved in the local Latin jazz scene and began a long collaboration with percussionist John Santos. He also made a series of recordings with producer Greg Landau, including the ground-breaking Oaktown Irawo, featuring Tower of Power drummer Dave Garibaldi, Cuban saxophonist Yosvany Terry and Cuban percussionist Jesus Diaz. Sosa and Landau recorded with Carlos “Patato” Valdes and Pancho Quinto and worked on several film scores. Around 1999 Sosa moved to Barcelona, Spain.Omar Sosa is one of the most versatile jazz artists on the scene today: composer, arranger, producer, pianist, percussionist, and bandleader. He fuses a wide range of world music and electronic elements with his native Afro-Cuban roots to create a fresh and original urban sound – all with a Latin jazz heart. On stage, Mr. Sosa is a charismatic figure, inspiring his fellow musicians with his dynamic playing and improvisational approach to the music – an approach full of raw emotional power and humor. Mr. Sosa invariably inspires audiences to their feet and to join him in chorus vocals, heightening the sense of spontaneity and connection.Mr. Sosa’s latest CD on Otá Records, Mulatos , features Latin jazz master Paquito D’Rivera on clarinet. The recording is an adventurous, finely wrought, and wholly delightful mélange of Cuban jazz, Latin dance grooves, French chanson, North African trance music, and European folk. It dances with rhythmic inspirations of Indian tabla, jazz drums, and studio mixing. Also featured is the delicate voice of the Arabic lute, the oud, and the composer himself on marimba. “Mulatos” was recently nominated for Latin Jazz Album of the Year by the NYC-based Jazz Journalists Association.Mr. Sosa’s music is a unique style of Afro-Cuban jazz, and while it is rooted in the folkloric traditions of the African Diaspora, he always takes an exploratory approach – never one to let orthodoxy stand in the way of his pursuit of freedom. Sosa offers a joyful mix of jazz and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, combining percussive forays inside the piano and a series of electronic effects with his inspired, passionate playing at the keyboard. His tempos are fluid, and his moods change freely. Sosa revels in the irresistible clave grooves of Latin jazz, while adding experimental touches to keep his listeners on their toes.Omar Sosa has released 15 recordings on the Oakland-based Otá Records label since 1997, including 2002’s GRAMMY-nominated Sentir . He performed recently with his Octet at the opening of Carnegie Hall’s new Zankel Hall, about which Alex Ross of The New Yorker remarked that Sosa has “a ferocious flair for rhythm and a keen musical wit”. Composer John Adams, who curated the opening of Carnegie Hall’s new venue, commented that “Sosa is a deeply creative musician with an extraordinary harmonic sense. His piano playing is sui generis : It has obvious roots in Cuban music, but he’s taken his approach to the keyboard into completely new regions”. And Don Heckman of The Los Angeles Times recently wrote “Sosa’s vision of contemporary jazz reaches across every imaginable boundary”. For more information, please visit www.melodia.com.Omar Sosa was nominated in 2003 for a BBC Radio 3 Award for World Music in the ‘Americas’ category, along with Ibrahim Ferrer, Caetano Veloso, and Os Tribalistas. He began 2004 with the debut of his first work for symphony orchestra, entitled From Our Mother , performed at the Paramount Theatre in Oakland by the Oakland East Bay Symphony under the direction of Michael Morgan. The 45-minute work in three movements, which combines folkloric elements from Cuba, Venezuela, and Ecuador with modern jazz harmonies, was co-commissioned by Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco and the Oakland East Bay Symphony, with partial funding from the Rockefeller FoundationEGGUN released 2013 (OTA1024)EGGUN: The Afri-Lectric Experience began as an Omar Sosa commission from the Barcelona Jazz Festival in 2009. The assignment: to compose and produce a tribute performance to Miles Davis’ classic recording, Kind Of Blue, on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. Inspired by various musical elements and motifs from Kind Of Blue, Omar wrote a suite of music honoring the spirit of freedom in Davis’ seminal work.Featuring trumpet and two saxophones, Eggun provides a medium for musical elements from Africa to shape and develop the music. The resulting jazz textures are further enhanced by the subtle and expressive use of electronic elements. At the heart of the recording is the spirit of Mother Africa.The featured horn players are Joo Kraus on trumpet (Germany),Leandro Saint-Hill on alto saxophone and flute (Cuba), and Peter Apfelbaum on tenor saxophone (U.S.A.). Omar’s longtime rhythm section of Marque Gilmore on drums (U.S.A.) and Childo Tomas on electric bass (Mozambique) create the foundation.Special guests on the project include Lionel Loueke on guitars (Benin),Marvin Sewell on guitars (U.S.A.), Pedro Martinez on Afro-Cuban percussion (Cuba), John Santos on percussion (U.S.A.), and Gustavo Ovalles on Afro-Venezuelan percussion (Venezuela). The CD was recorded primarily in Brooklyn, NY. Of particular interest is a set of sixInterludios interspersed among the primary tracks of the recording, inspired by melodic elements from the solos of Bill Evans.Eggun, in the West African spiritual practice of Ifá and its variousexpressions throughout the African Diaspora, are the spirits of those whohave gone before us, both in our immediate families and those who serve as our Spirit guides.From the liner notes, by Joan Cararach, artistic director of theBarcelona Jazz Festival:Harmony, peace, respect, freedom. That has been Omar Sosa’sresponse to our proposal: to revisit Kind of Blue, by Miles Davis, from his own (quite exceptional) aesthetic assumptions. The year was 2009. The 41st Voll-Damm Barcelona International Jazz Festival had hired drummer Jimmy Cobb – the only surviving member of the group’s original line-up who created that record – and a tribute band committed to revive, in concert, the memory of that iconic jazz piece. But Kind of Blue, rather than a museum piece, is a mysterious record with an intimacy to be disclosed very slowly, generation after generation, beyond the commonplaces of history books.That’s why we asked two artists who are familiar with our festival to revisit Kind of Blue from another perspective, following the artistic principles evoked by Bill Evans in his notes to the record signed by Davis: be yourself, be spontaneous, give all you have to give, everything you learned from those who came before and those you are sharing the road with. We selected Chano Domínguez, from Andalucía, who contributed Flamenco Sketches (Blue Note, 2012), and Cuban Omar Sosa, who did a powerful research of Miles Davis’ record.Eggun (ancestors) is not a typical record, just as Sosa is not a typical pianist. The artist, at first reluctant, became obsessed probing into Kind of Blue to find nothing else but the paradoxes of a never-ending search: love and indifference; exile and emigration; being here and now with the lessons of those who illuminated us; restless energy and deliberate contemplation; the uncanny twists and turns of our souls and the shades of our lives; the constant strain between grief and joy, contradictory and supplementary at the same time.Eggun essentially derives from the melodic cells of Kind of Blue’s solos and has the aim of honoring that record, which, let’s say it once more, is hardly known in spite of having been used and abused. Eggun is like all of Sosa’s works, an invitation to a journey plentiful with luxury, peace and sensuality (thanks, Baudelaire!). We have a welcome withAlejet – whitein Arabic – and El Alba. All the sounds of the African diaspora – where Moroccan bendir meets Dominican merengue and Puerto Rican plena: So All Freddie. The interludes, almost sacred invocations to the genius of Bill Evans. And a passionate desperation in the finale, as in records conceived the old way, like a narrative, followed by the final rest, grace in a religious sense, like an overflowing energy which at the end of the journey becomes pure togetherness. Kindness, in short.To visit Omar Sosa's website CLICK HERE

Rebroadcast of interview with MARGO HALL, from July 26, 2010 re: Aurora Theatre Company's 19th season opening play, Thursday-Friday, AUG 26-27, through SEPT 26, 2010, Alice Childress's vibrant, humorous, and heartbreaking look at racism through the lens of the theater, TROUBLE IN MIND. Set during the early years of the Civil Rights movement, this disconcerting yet disarmingly funny look at the inequalities of American life in the 1950's highlights the half-truths we tell ourselves about race relations and societal progress in America. First produced in 1955, TROUBLE IN MIND follows a cast of black and white actors attempting to mount a production of a “progressive” new play. The play-within-the-play, entitled Chaos in Belleville, an anti-lynching drama set in the South, written by a white writer and directed by a white director, marks the first opportunity for Wiletta Mayer, a gifted African American actress, to play a leading lady on Broadway. But what compromises must she make to succeed? Robin Stanton (Speech & Debate, Betrayed, Permanent Collection) directs this play about race, identity, and opportunity, featuring Bay Area favorite Margo Hall in her Aurora Theatre Company debut. We close with another rebroadcast. This from AUG 20, where we open with the Dreams, as in DREAM GIRLS which also opens tonight in San Francisco, at the Curran Theatre. We also speak to Friends of the Negro Spirituals awardees this year, get an update on the Oscar Grant case and hear about a fundraiser last week, AUG 20 and other upcoming events from Oscar's Uncle Bobby.
