Esta semana, en una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, los invitamos a escuchar material del disco "The Music of Anthony Braxton" del destacado saxofonista estadounidense, Steve Lehman. El álbum, que celebra los 80 años del legendario e influyente compositor, vientista, pianista y filósofo Anthony Braxton, fue editado el 28 de febrero por el sello Pi Recordings. Grabado en Los Ángeles, junto a su trío integrado por él en saxo alto, Mark Brewer en bajo y Damion Reid en batería, además del invitado especial Mark Turner en saxo tenor, Lehman rinde homenaje a uno de sus primeros mentores, con un álbum en vivo de “swing duro”, que conmemora el 80 aniversario del nacimiento del influyente vientista Anthony Braxton. Lehman estuvo en el grupo de gira de Braxton de 1999 a 2007, actuando en festivales internacionales y apareciendo en una serie de grabaciones, incluido un tributo a la música de Andrew Hill, “Nine Compositions (Hill)” (2000). "Desde el principio, supe que quería conectar la música de Anthony con nuevas audiencias y defender la música de su pequeño grupo como una parte realmente indispensable del canon del jazz”, señaló Lehman sobre este nuevo disco. “Entonces, eso significó ser realmente exigente con el repertorio y hacer un esfuerzo consciente para trabajar con músicos fuera de la órbita de Braxton que pudieran aportar nuevas perspectivas a la música”. Según el sello, Lehman eligió composiciones intrincadas, pegadizas y únicas para grupos pequeños de Braxton que grabó originalmente en las décadas de 1970 y 1980 con músicos como Ed Blackwell, Dave Holland y Kenny Wheeler, entre otros, en álbumes como “Fall” (1974) y “Six Compositions: Quartet” (1981). Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en el catálogo de Lehman y su trío, para escuchar música de su colaboración con el pianista Craig Taborn, “The People I Love”. Según Pi Recordings, el título del disco “fue tomado por Lehman de unas palabras que entregó el ahora fallecido vibrafonista Bobby Hutcherson en una entrevista de 2010: “Cuando era más joven, pensaba que la música era lo primero. Y ahora que he envejecido, me doy cuenta de que toda esa música, no es más que el reflejo de las imágenes de las personas que amo y de la presencia Dios”. Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

David Horsey - Seattle Times The Musk coup is moving forward with minimal signs of effective opposition. Congressional Republicans are rolling over complacently while the Musk teenage Ninjas storm federal offices, and Democrats do little other than scream. A lot of federal employees deemed insufficiently loyal to the Mar-a-Lago golf pro are being fired, laid off or encouraged to quit … meaning literally millions of hours of professional expertise will be lost, replaced by True Believers. In Michigan, the race for the U.S. Senate is beginning to take form in both parties. We take a deep dive into the likely primary contests. Joining the discussion with an update on the turmoil in the state Legislature is veteran Michigan politics and state government reporter Lauren Gibbons from Bridge Michigan. Prior to joining Bridge's Capitol team, she worked at MLive, where she led coverage of the state Legislature and the redistricting process, and before that covered the state Senate for MIRS News. She has covered the ins and outs of Michigan politics for nearly a decade and has won awards both for her political coverage and her work documenting the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case. Lauren grew up in the Lansing area and graduated from Michigan State University, majoring in journalism and history. She lives in Ferndale, and her party tricks include Irish dancing and telling friends what political districts they live in without looking. She is also an expert on music that highlights Michigan! The first major partisan battle with the new split-control Legislature is underway, with the Senate majority leader suing the Speaker of the House. We begin this week's pod exploring that lawsuit with Majority Leader Winnie Brink's lead attorney in the case: the honorable Mr. Mark Brewer! =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management Joel Heller:Hellertoon.com

Still another week like no other: the previous guy napping at his own criminal trial, the current guy seeing his polling numbers nudge upwards with an economy that the Wall Street Journal calls "The Envy of the World", and a stunning tipping point in a major Michigan political scandal: Attorney General Nessel stuns Lansing with criminal indictments of former House Speaker Lee Chatfield and his wife. We'll talk with outspoken campaign finance reform advocate Bob LaBrant. Democrats, as expected, win the 2 special elections to fill state House vacancies, restoring the Dem's trifecta control of state government. More campaign finance shenanigans, with our Mark Brewer hot on the trail of the malefactors. In national political news – Sleepy Donald Trump's social media company's stock matches his New York trial energy level: sinking fast.  Joe Biden continues to gain ground in national polling as he campaigns while Trump fumes in court. The U.S. economy is, in the words of a Wall Street Journal Headline, “the envy of the world” … but that's not registering with American voters. Crime in the U.S. is dropping … but that's not registering with voters either.

Elections attorney Mark Brewer and retired political action executive Bob LaBrant take a look at ongoing headlines surrounding Michigan's independent redistricting commission. After 13 legislative districts were ruled as racially gerrymandered, does the commission need to tidy up its operations? Also, can the districts be redrawn without impacting others?     William Lawrence, coordinator of the 'Rent is Too Damn High' coalition in Michigan, calls for the state to address both tenant rights and housing supply needs at the same time.  Additionally, Policy Director Jennifer Peacock of the Michigan Center for Youth Justice explains how for most of 2024, local governments will be preparing for multiple changes to the state's juvenile justice system, which she says aims to prevent an "over reliance on detention" following youths' offenses.

Christmas comes early for the now-departed Michigan Legislature, but only after an unprecedented year of major legislation. Ho ho ho! The Legislature is taking an early (and extended) holiday break. With two House members set to resign after being elected Mayors of their hometowns, Democrats and Republicans have a 54-54 split in the state House, meaning an end (for now) of Democrats' state government trifecta. Adding to their early holiday joy, good tidings from Republicans in the form of guaranteed messy and expensive Republican primary for the U.S. Senate as Peter Meijer joins the field, along with more news of internal turmoil for the Michigan Republican Party. Ethics (or a lack of same) make headlines this week. In Washington, Republicans in the Senate make it clear they have no interest in the apparent long-term corruption of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, but Republicans in the House are focused on what is, to now, an evidence-free drive to impeach Joe Biden. In Michigan, a watered-down financial disclosure package clears the state House in a late-night marathon session and is on its way to Governor Whitmer for signing.  Also this week:  Mark Brewer updates us on the legal efforts (in which he is a lead attorney) to keep Insurrection Master Strategist Donald Trump off the Michigan ballot. The U.S. House votes to censure Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib which could well help her in her reelection bid next year. Right to Life is suing to overturn Michigan's newly approved constitutional amendment guaranteeing women's reproductive healthcare options Legal arguments have concluded in a federal trial over whether Michigan's Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission violated the Voting Rights Act in drawing Michigan's legislative maps.  We're joined in the podcast by Bridge Michigan reporter Lauren Gibbons who has been covering all the legislative action in Lansing, as well as the federal court case on redistricting. Lauren covers state politics and policy for Bridge Michigan. Prior to joining Bridge's Capitol team, she worked at MLive, where she led coverage of the state Legislature and the redistricting process, and before that covered the state Senate for MIRS News.

This has been a very very very very very bad week for Donald Trump … and Matt DePerno … and former Representative Daire Rendon … and the Michigan Republican Party.  Spoiler alert: it's another week of our true-crime podcast. But for six state House Democrats who were targeted for recall It was a pretty good week with the state Board of Canvassers rejecting the proposed recall petitions (all of them ably represented by their lawyer, Mark Brewer!) The podcast was recorded minutes after Donald 'Jail-Adverse" Trump was arraigned for the third time this year on felony criminal charges. Joining the conversation as we mark a truly momentous moment in U.S. political history is longtime Trump critic Rick Wilson. A former member of the Republican Party, Rick has produced televised political commercials for governors, U.S. Senate candidates, Super PACs, and corporations. He left the Republican Party following the 2016 United States presidential election, and in late 2019 went on to co-found The Lincoln Project. In 2018, Rick released his first book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, in which he laments the re-alignment of the Republican Party behind Trump. The book reached number one on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. Wilson's second book, Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America from Trump – and Democrats from Themselves, was published in January 2020. He now hosts the podcast “Rick Wilson's The Enemies List.” =========================== This week's podcast is underwritten in part by EPIC-MRAEPIC ▪ MRA is a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management ===========================

How many people do you know who would: - Fly across the Pacific Ocean to train against Olympians in Europe, aged 17? - Work overnight security shifts, to earn money to fight during the day? - Do 1000 pushups as punishment for being late to training, because the bumper of their car kept falling off on the drive there? I only know one, and his name is Mark Brewer.  Hailing from the tiny town of Motueka, Mark chased his dreams in competition around the world training with the best of the best in places like Germany and Uzbekistan. At 81kg, he fought through one of the toughest divisions in judo. Mark rose to the challenge, and accumulated grit, cauliflower ears and a “Hard to Kill” mentality along the way.
