Musical Instrument Museum Music Theater Spectacular Summer 2011 Season The 2011 summer concert season at the Musical Instrument Museum (MIM) Music Theater will offer audiences a chance to hear world-class performers from near and far performing superb music ranging from the cutting-edge to the cozy. Early season highlights include the renowned chamber group Kronos Quartet and a special appearance and workshops by West African drumming legends Mamady Keïta and Famoudou Konaté. Throughout the long hot summer, the MIM Music Theater will be the cool place to discover intriguing sounds from across the globe, or enjoy familiar favorites like Celtic, classical, and jazz. “Heading into our second summer at the MIM Music Theater, we’re continuing to focus on presenting diverse music styles―including sounds from Guinea, Japan, Ireland, Mexico, and Eastern Europe, not to mention jazz and country―while also keeping things very accessible to our wide audience,” commented Sunni Fass, MIM Music Theater artistic and managing director. “A good analogy is the ‘symphony pops’ model: light and fun concerts that are a great escape after a tripledigit day, but always delivering the extremely high quality that people have come to expect of MIM.” There’ll be fun for the whole family when Japan’s Kuniko Yamamoto visits the MIM Music Theater for a Father’s Day–worthy performance entitled “Magical Mask, Mime, and Music of Japan,” preceded by a special children’s workshop. And, speaking of magic, there’s sure to be plenty when the Mariachi Mystery Tour hits the Music Theater. That’s right; Beatles classics performed by one of the Southwest’s hottest mariachi bands. Other vocal talents on the summer series include Jace Everett (vocals and guitar), the Good Lovelies (seamless Americana harmonies), Geeta Novotny (mezzo-soprano), and Michael Kaeshammer (great vocals with stride piano).

By Nick Connell The 17th Annual SEDONA FILM FESTIVAL wrapped up last month, but the films and documentaries that blessed the screens will be making an impact for years to come. Many thanks must go out to Patrick Schweiss, Sagan Lewis, their staff and city of Sedona for hosting such an incredible diversity of stories and content from around the world. Once more, they have succeeded in revealing the simple truth that we are all related and connected on this small little spaceship we call planet Earth. What’s also exciting is some of my favorites and the favorites of the Sedona film faithful will be coming to Phoenix soon. Here is a short list of must see films I hope you will get out and see when they make it to your village. The performances and storytelling are outstanding and even worth a second look.

HEALING: Miracles, Mysteries and John of God This feature documentary travels to the blessed land of Abadiania in Brazil, to reveal the truly miraculous story of healing and compassion given to humanity by John of God. As one of God’s servants, John’s story reveals we are going through a great transformation now with great suffering, and we must have patience, persistence and faith in God. The film’s conclusion is based in the words of Christ in the Gospel of John (Ch.15V.12): “This is my commandment: Love one another as I have loved you”. He also reveals, “I do not heal, it is God that heals.” This is a profound story for such an important time as now.

I AM: This is a documentary feature on the life of successful Hollywood director Tom Shadyac. Tom has a near death experience from a head injury which turns his world and perspective upside down. Tom then explores the questions, “What’s wrong with our world? And what can we do about it?” His journey reveals a kaleidoscope of wisdom and truth from around the world that will offer many new perspectives, answers and questions. This is as thought provoking as it is entertaining. Maybe it could be time to retire the ‘us vs. them’ paradigm that has failed us, and return to more civil cooperation, understanding and acceptance? Lord knows we need to consume less and share more.

LT. DAN BAND: For The Common Good This is an inspiring and touching feature documentary on the commitment and journey of Gary Sinise (Lt.Dan, from the movie “Forrest Gump”). Since September 11th 2001, Gary has vowed to never forget the heroes - the brave men and women in uniform around the country and the world who have sacrificed and risked it all to serve us and our country. We get to travel the world with our generations “Bob Hope”, as he and his band support and entertain our troops around the world, including Iraq and Kuwait. This is a powerful film with music, celebrity, humor and camaraderie. But the most revealing aspect is the incredible sacrifice the men and women of the armed forces make for us and how we can support and bless them back for the common good. THE FIRST GRADER: This feature-film from Director Justin Chadwick chronicles the true story of Maruge, an old Mau Mau veteran in his 80’s, who wants to learn to read more than anything. And when his Kenyan government promises to educate all its citizens, Maruge seizes the opportunity. Now his journey of a lifetime will reveal his country’s history, his personal tragedies, his love of freedom, and how the children will lead us. This was the Audience Winner for Best Feature and received a standing ovation for the film makers! Definitely on my short list for next year’s Academy Awards.

Bet You Didn’t Know! by Stan Robinson

Director David Slade is reportedly in talks with 20th Century Fox to develop and helm a reboot of the “Daredevil” film franchise. Unlike the 2003 cinematic incarnation of the superhero starring Ben Affleck, this version is expected to be an adaptation of Frank Miller’s “Born Again” run of the comic series.

Randy: “A comedy with heart that entertains. You’ll want to be friends with the misfit orchestra and want them to put on a good show. Makes me want to falsify my identification and sneak into a symphony performance.” Grade: A Stan: “Although it seems a comedy and in French with English subtitles, don’t let either of these factors keep you from seeing ‘The Concert’, the triumph of the Jewish musicians discriminated against years ago, with a ‘clandestine’ opportunity to perform now, is a poignant tribute the power of music and those who’ll give their all for just that one professional performance!” Grade: A-

‘Nora’s Will’ When Jose’s (Fernando Luján) exwife Nora (Silvia Mariscal) passes away, it’s an-all out battle between the family, a rabbi, a priest, the maid and Jose as to how she will be buried; according to Jewish or Catholic customs. (NR – 92 minutes) Randy: “A charming little film; an indie gem. It screened at a local film festival in the fall and then opened in markets nationwide. Why it has taken so long to come back to Scottsdale for a play date perplexes me.” Grade: A

‘Spike and Mike’s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation’ This year’s collection of short films includes “Tiny Hats” by Penelope Gazin, “The Toke Before Christmas” by R. Thies, “Cuddle Sticks” by Mike Geiger and “The Bet” by Miguel Otalora. Playing exclusively at Film Bar. (NR – 85 minutes)

Joseph: “For the first time in ‘Spike and Mike’s’ history, one of the selected shorts - ‘Cuddle Sticks’ - goes a bit too far. And anyone familiar with this festival knows that is quite an obscene accomplishment. Otherwise, as usual, the good segments are downright dynamite and the bad ones are absolutely abysmal, balancing everything out in the end.” Grade: C Stan: “The ‘Film Bar’ age to attend is 21 years or older, and the ‘Sick’ & ‘Twisted’ part of the title aptly describes a lot the shorts that just won’t do for younger viewers. While some are delightfully twisted in their cleverness, others are just downright sick! There’s more on the twisted side than on the sick, and worth the price of admission for that afternoon break!

FRANCESCA WOLFSOHN INVESTMENT ADVISOR 480~822~8176 516~395~3299 BULLS & BEARS STOCK MARKET ETYMOLOGY FOR THE CURIOUS The magnificent New York Stock Exchange Bull is truly a work of art. The bull appears to be charging full force radiating raw, yet restrained power, as one in complete control readying to storm up Manhattan. The statue, created by artist Arturo Di Modica in 1989, was apparently placed illegally in front of the NYSE. It was created by Modica to symbolize the strength and power of the American people after the market crash “Black Monday” in October 1987. Public protest was strong enough to keep it in place after it was seized by police.

Susan Lucci is the daughter of Phyllis Diller. On average, 12 newborns will be given to the wrong parents daily.

A Bull market is characterized by optimism in stock prices and increased investor confidence while a Bear market is characterized by pessimism of the same. BUT WHY BULLS & BEARS ? Etymology, “The study of the true sense of a word,” from etymon “true sense”. As bulls and bears go there are a few possibilities. According to Wikipedia (“Market trends”) London bearskin brokers (“jobbers”) would sell the skin before they had caught the bear (Selling short!). It seems these brokers sold short expecting a downtrend in bear skin prices hoping to make a profit by selling high and buying skins lower at a later date.

Guinness Book of World Records holds the record for being the book most often stolen from Public Libraries.

Celery has negative calories. It takes more calories to eat a piece of celery than the celery has itself.

Merriam-Webster suggest The term bull was originally used to describe a speculative purchase in expectation that prices will rise. Its’ earliest use is thought to be 1714 and it was apparently chosen to counter “Bear”. In my opinion all of this wordiness is a waste of mental energy and a prime example of why we need to GET BACK TO THE BASICS I like this common~sensical approach myself.

Also out in cans is Breckenridge’s first two canned beers. Flagship Avalanche Amber and newcomer Lucky U IPA are now around town in cans. Look for a canned release of Summer Bright as well. Of course, Bell’s Brewing hit us with a large release of Hopslam, and just when we thought it was all gone, sent us some from the

NEW BEERS TO THE ARIZONA MARKET / PART 2 As you will recall from last week, we were going over new products in the Arizona market place when we ran out of space. So let’s pick up where we left off and see what else is interesting in the world of new beers. The Bruery will be releasing a couple of interesting beers this year. Look for collaboration (with up and coming Tampa Brewery Cigar City) MaronAcidifie in the near future. This beer has been sitting over a year in barrels that have left this dark sour layered with notes of cranberries, tropical fruits, leather and aged balsamic vinegar, balanced by wood tannins and roasted malt. Also the third in their series of anniversary beers, Cuir (French for “leather” the traditional third anniversary gift) will be out shortly as will regular production beer Rugbrod.

Crispin Ciders has been releasing March 24th, 2011 - March 30th, 2011

many new regular and specialty products lately. On the regular side, look for Brownslane, their version of a canned English cider on shelves, as well as annual releases of Landsdowne, an unfiltered cider brewed with Irish Stout yeast; and the last of the Fox Barrel Mulled Cider. On the special side, The Jacket, an unfiltered cider aged in whiskey casks is still on the market, as are a few kegs of Desert Noir. This cider was originally created for Arizona Beer Week, but turned out so nice, that they released it nationally. Made with additions of Agave Nectar and Prickly Pear Juice, then aged in a Pinot Noir barrel, this is a special cider indeed. SKA Brewing is rapidly becoming known for canned beer and their seasonal offerings are no different. We’ve seen the Euphoria Pale Ale the past two winters, and now, for the summer, comes the return of Mexican Logger…in cans no less. This easy drinking rendition of a traditional Mexican Lager style beer is fun and easy drinking. The cans make it a must have for

second batch so we saw quite a bit of it in the state. Also in the market are the annual releases of specialty stouts. Look for Expedition, Cherry, Java and Double Cream along with Third Coast Old Ale and Porter. Alaskan’s Pilot series remains in full swing. After giving us some amazing beers last year, they will be starting us off with Imperial IPA. For those of you that had

a sneak peak of it at the Great Arizona Beer Festival, you know how special it is.

at the beginning of this year we saw two more Imperial releases, Kingpin Red and Café Negro. The former, like Hop Czar is very easy to drink for an Imperial Red and the latter is a must for coffee fans. Also look for 22 ounce bottles from the Big Brew series. Expect to see Highland Ambush soon, and later in the year we expect to get some of their amazing Hop Harvest Ale. New Belgium has long been an

innovator and 2011 is no different. The Lips of Faith series continues to gather steam after seeing some amazing beers released last year. This year we have already seen Dunkelweiss hit the market as well as the just released Le Terroir. Le Terroir is an amazingly complex sour style which goes through the unusual (for a sour) process of being dry-hopped. As part of this series this year, they will release their 20th Anniversary beer, an imperial version of local favorite Fat Tire. Locally, Papago Brewing has released their Hopago IPA series. Each production features a single hop which is changed up regularly. Previously we have seen Sorachi Ace and Citra hops used. Who knows what they have in mind next? SanTan who burst on to the distribution scene just nine months ago has released their variety twelve pack. What better way to enjoy their beers than to pick up a variety pack with something for everybody. Grand Canyon has released very limited amounts of their Raspberry Wheat on draft only. Sonoran has re-released some additional bottles of the 19.37% ABV monster Sonoran Continued on Page 24...

200. When this one is gone, it is gone for good. Sun Up has been sending some very special kegs that previously were brewery only in to the market. And we hear rumblings from down in Tucson that Thunder Canyon may release some of their brewpub only beers to the general market. Importers kept busy sending us new stuff as well. Global Beer Network jumped in to the new item game with a couple of releases. Troubadour Magma, the IPA offering from Belgian Brewer The Musketeers has proven to be a hit. In addition to bottles, a few kegs are in the state. Also, in a very special release, BrowerijBavik sent very limited quantities of kegged Petrus Aged Pale Ale to the United States. Quite a few of these ended up in Arizona and have proven to be delicious. This

beer is typically only kegged every three years or so, so this was a special treat. A couple of interesting items from Artisanal Imports have arrived or will be here soon. La Trappe, the only non-Belgian Trappist brewery has regained the right to use their name in the United States and has been back on the shelves. To celebrate they have created a barrel aged version of their Quadrupel which the state saw very limited numbers of. The initial release was a blend of port and sherry barrel aged beer. Look for more of these beers in the future. Also look for more St. Feuillien including the Tripel and the Saison as well as some of the world famous Jacobins Rouge. This is particularly exciting for those of you who attended the Flemish Sour Blending Seminar at Whole Foods in Chandler during Beer Week as this is the Continued on Page 25...

same brewery that provided the blending kegs.

30+ breweries | 700+ different beers

We have also been seeing quite a few specialty draft releases lately. Anderson Valley started off their specialty program with the Imperial Boont Amber followed up by a Black IPA. Next up should be Geech Pale Ale. Bear Republic has offered us a variety of great beers and will bring back Apex, Mach 10, Heritage and Racer 10 in 2011. But on tap right now is Ryevalry,

a rye based IPA. Lost Coast is in the specialty game as well. Long known for easy drinking session beers, they came out of the gate with their big, bold Double Red 20th Anniversary beer, followed up by a limited amount of their very special barrel aged Imperial Stout.

Eat fresh, eat local, eat well. Eat with the seasons. Eat more vegetables and fruits and less fat. Eat reasonable portions. Replace fast food with slow food. You’ve heard these injunctions. Seasons 52 Fresh Grill aims to help you carry follow through. The Orlando, Florida-based chain has one location in Arizona, located in the Biltmore Fashion Park at 2502 E. Camelback Road in Phoenix, and locations in 10 other states. Over the past nine years they’ve salted away hundreds of radiant reviews in more than 70 publications. They offer a friendly, attentive, and extensively trained wait staff, a classy yet casual atmosphere, farmers’ market fresh food, alternative menus (lactose free, gluten free, garlic free, low sodium, vegetarian, and vegan), and food that’s artfully prepared using cooking techniques, such as woodfire grilling, brick-oven baking, sautéing and caramelizing rather than deep frying or relying on butter and cream sauces. Whether you’re hungry for

Roasted Artichoke-Stuffed Shrimp, Maui Tuna Crunch Salad, an Oak Fired Buffalo Burger, or Oak Grilled Filet Mignon, they promise that nothing on their menu will exceed 475 calories. Even their desserts come with your waistline in mind. You’ll find an award-winning international wine list with 100+ wines, most of them available by the glass, lunch and dinner hours daily, live entertainment at their piano bar nightly, and the option of hosting group function for large and small parties.

The Passionate Lover Whether I am stateside or abroad, one of the questions I’m asked, Why Do Women Cheat? Through my own experience and research from the women whom I have talked to and the women I have been with, being a dance instructor with the trust created by the instructor-student relationship made women able to open up and tell me their deepest secrets. Most women feel embarrassed to communicate their desires to their husbands / boyfriends. I have discovered women would cheat when something is missing from home and their love life. Many like being the mom with their children, having the home, or even her job, but

when it comes to her husband / boyfriend seeing her as the sensual, sexy woman, it’s just not there. She has a strong sexual longing and hunger to have the heat of hot, passionate lovemaking back in her life from her man. After being together for years, her prince charming has now become her toad. How clumsy and clueless he has become in the bedroom. Are the things you are doing now in your love and sex life working? Are you giving her an earthshattering night of hot, passionate love making? When the newness of the relationship wears off, what do we do? “Lover’s Tip” Food is very erotic if you do it right! Soft music, candles lit.

The W Hotel Scottsdale is throwing their annual fashion forward event you won’t want to miss, and if you do, then you’re a bad person because this is all for charity, and you can’t neglect charity. But really folks, the celebration is for the end of MLB Spring training, and with 2000 of the valleys “who’s who,” it promises to be quite a party. The proceeds go to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation so it is a good time to redeem your morals by contributing. This is the 2nd annual party and this time around beauties will strut down the runway above the WET deck showing off their summer curves and the newest spring styles. The show will feature Deegie’s Carma, swimsuits by Indah (Sports Illustrated 2011 Swimsuit Edition), custom sportswear and evening wear for men (Alastaire Grey), and Isaac’s Jewelers will be adding some sparkle to the affair. For front row fashionista status, tickets are $50. Otherwise come for free, have a drink, mingle with the crowd and know you did a good charitable thing. www.wscottsdaletickets.com 480-970-2100 8pm. It seems like only yesterday that Lady GaGa’s first massive concert sold out in one day’s time. Figures why she would make a return for round 2. Last year’s after-party was quite fab however this year the masses have decided on not only one but two wonderful soirees to get your GaGa on. Lady GaGa AfterParty: HardRock Cafe March 26th The Hardrock Cafe in Downtown Phoenix opens its arms to all those in tights, sculptured hair, and odd outfits. SuperStereo Band performs original dance worthy tracks sweet enough to headline GaGa’s party. If you have never heard them, think along the lines of electro pop with a hint of indie and the ability to hook you into their groove from the first time you hear it. That’s

my experience anyway, Youtube their newest song and video “Life Passed Me By,” and try not to get nostalgic like I did. DJ Swookie Monster who remixed the official dubstep version of the song will be holding down the turntables. This cat is known for producing electro mixes that stand their own ground. Maybe you’ve seen him opening up for Brazil’s “The Twelve” if not, take your chance now! 10pm. Free admission. 602-261-7625

Lady GaGa AfterParty: BarSmith March 26th BarSmith Downtown is home to the after-party featuring Lady GaGa’s bestie, Lady Starlight. This broad has been GaGa’s dance and havoc partner from the beginning before it was all glitter and meat bikinis...well it was probably always all glitter. Drink up on the rooftop bar, dance to heavy beats by rotating DJs and admire the showcased live art. Downstairs don’t miss the sultry show from Scandalesque’s own Pyrrha Sutra and Lady Fontayne. Lady Starlight will be throwing down some tracks as well alongside 4 other turntable masters. The party promises to be hot and heavy so get tickets in advance for only $10. At the door expect $15-$20. 9pm. 602-229-1265

Got a hot event? Grand opening? Cool new promotion? Undiscovered gem? Please write to Maria at Nightowl@azweeklymagazine.com to possibly be featured here each week. Please include pictures when possible.

Known as “the great performer,” pianist, composer and radio personality Ramsey Lewis is one of the jazz world’s most popular and endearing artists. He has recorded more than 80 albums and has received five gold records. Lewis infuses his pop-laced jazz with gospel, blues and classical music. “It’s his improvising that’s striking,” wrote The Guardian. “In the way he hides a groove in a long, snaking line that gradually intensifies the pulse, in the delicate control of dynamics, and in a breadth of jazz resources and sureness of touch.”

With an average attendance of 10,530, the New York Yankees are the only Major League club to have an average attendance larger than the D-backs this spring. “The response from fans about the team and Salt River Fields continues to be overwhelmingly positive,” D-backs’ President & CEO Derrick Hall said. “We knew we would see an attendance increase after moving our Spring Training headquarters to the Valley, but setting a new total attendance record during the first week of March is outstanding.” Three of the D-backs six home games at Salt River Fields have been sellouts, with the sold-out crowd of 12,514 for the inaugural game against the Colorado

Rockies on Feb. 26 ranking as the second-largest home crowd in the organization’s Spring Training history. Last Saturday’s sold-out crowd of 12,482 against the Texas Rangers was the thirdlargest home spring crowd in Dbacks history. The largest crowd to see a D-backs spring game at home was 12,855 fans against the Chicago White Sox on March 2, 2008 at Tucson Electric Park. Salt River Fields is located on a 140-acre site near the PimaLoop 101 Freeway and Indian Bend Rd. and is the first Spring Training facility built on Native American land. Owned by the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, the complex consists of separate training facilities and clubhouses for the D-backs and Rockies as well as an 11,000-seat ballpark that features a uniquely designed roof structure that offers fans in the cross aisle plenty of shade.

Spa Fit for EveryBODY Top 5 Yoga Myths Debunked

Get Cute While Sipping Cocktails Compliment your post-work cocktail with a manicure at the W Scottsdale’s new Primp, Pop and Shop happy hour. The weekly event takes place every Wednesday from 5 to 8 p.m. Enjoy an express manicure at the Bliss Spa while sipping on glasses of champagne and shopping.

Myth 1: Yoga isn’t a good workout. Wrong! Have you seen Madonna? Yoga strengthens nearly every muscle in the body including the chest, back, stomach, arms and legs. Yoga also helps combat stress and clears the mind. Myth 2: Yoga is attached to unusual beliefs and practices. Yoga actually centers around universal ideas and concepts. It is not attached to any particular religion or belief system. How you use yoga and what role it play in your life is up to you.

Myth 3: You’ve got to be extremely flexible to do yoga. Yoga classes are offered at various levels – from beginner to advanced. Moves and exercises can be tailored to your individual fitness and flexibility level. Myth 4: Yoga is random, mindless exercises mixed together. Each yoga exercise is part of series of moves that work together to tone and strength the mind and body. Yoga exercises take focus and a strong mind-body connection. Myth 5: You can’t do yoga properly on your own. You don’t need a yoga expert to get started. Google yoga moves and try a few or pop in a yoga DVD to see if you’ll like it. Once you decide if it’s for you, then consider if you want to take a class. For more Yoga facts or to test out the ancient art, visit Metta Yoga in Phoenix at 3742 E Indian School Rd.

At Spa Fit, one of the most common questions we hear is – “how can I increase my energy?” While sipping on coffee, downing a five-hour energy or chugging soda can provide a temporary energy boost, ultimately, they’re a short term solution to a continuous problem. Fortunately, valley health and beauty facilities like Delete Tattoo Removal and Laser Salon offer a more permanent

solution to energy deficiency – B12 shots. B12 shots not only boost energy levels, but also stimulate the metabolism, increase weight loss and improve the immune system. For lasting results, patients should receive B12 shots at least once a week, twice for extremely low energy levels. B12 shots range in price from $12 - $20. For more on Delete’s B12 shot offerings visit deleteitnow.com or call 480.269.9420 to book your appointment today. Delete is located in Phoenix at 6020 N.16TH Street.
