This is the first time in forever that I’m managing to post a Set in the same month that it was recorded! A little ridiculous, considering that once, I routinely posted Sets within days of recording them. A more interesting and relevant fact is that this Set, and the ones that precede and follow it, are virtually all vinyl. Many of my first Sets were vinyl dominant, all the music from the early nineties or earlier. Since then, I’ve aimed to incorporate more music from the late nineties and the current century. Partly, to show the continuity in jazz, and its growth as a genre-crossing philosophy of music, rather than simply a genre itself. It’s purely accidental that I’ve gone back to my previous show format. My laptop isn’t connecting to the mixing board. I can’t even play Buckshot LeFonque’s “Music Evolution”, the show's theme all these years. I’ve never managed to find a vinyl copy. I could mix it in, but I prefer to post the same show that streams from Radio Regent, with just a little clean-up. I’m enjoying the vinyl only format. I have such a wealth of great vinyl, and the 50’s-80’s was such an amazing time for musical boundaries both stretching out and falling away, that I don't feel that the diversity of the Sets has suffered. I hope the less talking is comfortable with you listeners. I haven’t received much input on the point. No complaints about not being able to figure out what’s been played. So I may just stick to it for awhile. I’m so glad to be back at this, as a regular part of my week. I hope you enjoy the Set! Thank you for your ears! Thrive! Kirby

An extended interview with Tyrone from Radio Regent, a walk-thru the studio/complex and discussions on equipment, station organization, meeting some of their summer students and teachers plus extended discussion on programming for youth radio.  31 Minutes.

Laura Tucker is a leadership coach and the host of the Free Your Inner Guru™ Podcast.  In a reversal of roles, Laura shares her thoughts about Conscious Leadership in an interview with Nina Grenningloh Reyes of Communications Rebel and Radio Regent’s The Women’s Hour. Highlights from this episode: “Initially the podcast was about me having a voice.  I spoke about things like survivors guilt and the healing journey.  As it has evolved, I’m having people on who I consider to be conscious leaders for interviews.  I want it to be a soft landing place for people to come and hear what an authentically conscious, not ego-based leader looks like, sounds like, feels like.” “You don’t need to go to a retreat to become a conscious leader.  You may benefit from a day, a week, a retreat or a workshop to carve the time out the time in your busy life for reflection or learning.  The real growth comes from how well you integrate the learning back into your life.” “In this day and age we are all being shown examples of more narcissistic styles of leadership.  I’m hoping the historical perspective will be that it was a time where we woke up, where we saw this is not to our liking, and that I did the work to become a strong voice. Everything counts.  Because how we are in our immediate surroundings gets reflected out onto the world.” Listen to hear Laura’s perspective on: The difference between authentic leadership and Conscious Leadership. Why there is a need for an alternative approach to leadership. What reclaiming your voice has to do with becoming a conscious leader. Obstacles and challenges we face when we connect to our inner guru. Conscious leadership as a daily habit. Is there a relationship between conscious leadership and gender? How we can reconcile the notion of looking inwards vs freeing our inner guru. About the interviewer Nina Grenningloh Reyes is the force behind Communications Rebel.  Nina helps changemakers and social innovators tell their story to accelerate social change.

We launched almost exactly six years ago, in May of 2012. And the show and podcast have become one of the great joys of my life. I thank Adonis Huggins, the executive director at Radio Regent for suggesting a show to me. He knew that I’d been spinning vinyl once a week at the nearby jazz bar and restaurant, The Dominion on Queen (thanks to you also Sean Duranovich, for inviting me to that gig!), and said that they were interested in new programmers for Radio Regent! Not only has this opportunity allowed me to introduce the music I love to listeners in more than 40 countries – many of whom I know are hearing much of it for the first time. It’s also pushed me to get more deeply into the music – Yes! The music I already knew and loved. Because I soon realized that I couldn’t just play my favorite tracks over and over. I began to listen more often and more closely to those flip sides of my favorite albums, and the albums I considered the lesser works of favorite artists, and to the albums of the supporting players to those artists. All of which reminded me of great work I’d loved but had forgotten, and got me listening with fresh ears to tunes I’d over-looked. It also got me exploring again, something I hadn’t done in years the way I once had. I’m spending more time in used record shops again, listening to some of my fellow podcasters for classics and for new artists that had escaped me, I’m passing on exciting new talent I’m hearing on my local jazz station, Toronto’s Jazz FM, and I’m even getting out into the clubs a bit more often than I have in awhile. And my hope is that this show is playing a role in keeping the jazz community vibrant, by keeping great, sometimes overlooked music in circulation, by reminding old members and newcomers alike of the great breadth and depth of this communal, improvisational, dynamic and all-embracing music. It’s a music that has never turned away a single cultural influence or source of inspiration. And that’s truly worthy of sharing. So Thanks again for Being here on this listening journey with me. Enjoy this Set from 2012. And come back for another fresh Set in just few days! Thrive! Kirby

And I want to thank Radio Regent’s program manager, Amil Delic, for the suggestion to do a show in commemoration of Black History Month. Without his nudging, this would not have come about. It was difficult coming to this concept: to simply do a show that traced my life-long love affair with music. But the wonderful thing about history is that it reminds us of those treasures that have enriched our lives, that have brought us to our present graces. I was blessed with parents who introduced me to music as to a mother’s milk and a father’s guiding hand. Music was in my home and my heart from the start, from as far back as I can remember. This is a journey through my first twenty years of life, my first twenty years of music. I did a lot of talking during this broadcast, so I won’t bother to repeat myself here. Only the last number, by Tony Williams, comes from a bit later in my life –when I was 25. Who knows, perhaps I’ll do a Musical, Autobiographical Journey, Part II. I hope that you will enjoy this at least a fraction of how much I did. Thrive! Kirby Obsidian p.s. Forgive the scratches and skips, especially on the Coltrane. I really do have to buy another copy. I think it will be my fourth.

June is pride month and while Pride Celebrations have become a party in lots of places,  the event got its start in June of 1969, when queens and dykes at New York's stonewall tavern had finally had enough of police harassment and started to riot. Well, a new book celebrates another piece of queer activism, this time in Canada's heartland. The Loud and Queer Cabaret is an annual event that has been featuring queer artists and writers in Edmonton Alberta for the last 20 years. The Alberta government has a history of taking overt stands against human rights, and the cabaret played an essential role in changing attitudes when it comes to queer issues in the province. At the same time, Loud and Queer workshopped writing , music and drama from many of Canada's artists. Darrin Hagen is a ground-breaking drag artist and author of  a book about the drag scene in Alberta called: The Edmonton Queen. He is also a long-time producer for the Loud and Queer cabaret.  For the show's 20th anniversary, he decided to take some of its most powerful moments and put them in a  book. It's called Queering the Way: an anthology from the Loud and Queer Cabaret. Rabble.ca's Kaitlin McNabb called Darrin Hagen to talk about the book. Here's their conversation. Last year, when a Toronto police officer teaching a safety seminar at York University suggested that to remain safe, women “should avoid dressing like sluts,” his comments trivialized sexual assault and cast a harsh light on the way Toronto police treat sexual assault victims in one fell swoop. In response to his comment, women's rights advocates across North America organized the slutwalk protest march. The name, the march, and the idea that reclaiming the word “slut” can have value for women's rights have been cause for vigorous debates ever since. This year was Toronto's second slutwalk. One critique of the walk's first year was that the bulk of the marchers and speakers were white women, and women of color, transpeople, and other groups were not included in planning and the march itself. This year Kim Crosby was determined to create a more inclusive environment at the walk. Crosby is an award-winning multidisciplinary artist, a queer survivor of sexual assault, and an activist on behalf of racialized peoples. She has written extensively on issues of race and gender, and she's the cohost of Black Feminism Live on Radio Regent in Toronto. Here's what she had to say at slutwalk 2012: If you are planning to go to the casseroles protest every Wednesday until further notice, you might want to invest in earplugs. But don't put them in just yet. We've got something you want to hear.  Three months into nightly student protests over tuition hikes, Quebec's bill against free assembly, Bill 78, has inspired even more people to take to the streets. Last week Montreal campus station CKUT's Friday Morning After program invited in a very special guest. François-Olivier Chené was the guy who wrote the Facebook invite that started Canadians rummaging through their kitchen cupboards in search of pans and pots to bang. Program hosts Josh Hind, Sara Shaltony, Adam Bemma, and Rana Alrabi sat down with him at CKUT for a chat about the casseroles. Here's their conversation.
