hop on drop The much-maligned DROP program might be getting reformed. But will the expensive version be allowed to live on anyway?

By Ralph Cipriano

L

ast week, while City Council was unveiling a new bill to reform DROP, the city’s pension board was quietly allowing municipal employees to cash in on a much better deal: DROP Classic, preserved in a time capsule for employees who may want to retire up to 10 years from now.

DROP, or the Deferred Retirement Option Plan, is the muchmaligned perk that allows city employees to collect their salaries and pensions during four final years on the job. DROP enrollees get their regular paychecks, but the pension money is stored in a tax-deferred account that pays 4.5 percent interest and is paid out on the day of retirement in cash bonuses averaging more than $100,000.

Last year, City Paper ran a cover story that found that since 2000, the city was paying out more than $1 billion in past and future DROP bonuses [“The Billion Dollar Boondoggle,” Ralph Cipriano, April 21, 2010].

In an effort to make DROP cost-neutral, City Council unveiled reform legislation that would raise the DROP retirement age by two years and lower that 4.5 percent interest rate to a floating rate that currently would equal two-tenths of 1 percent. The implication was

that the gravy train was coming to an end, but not right away. The bill offers eligible employees a 90-day window after the new DROP is passed to still sign up for the old version.

But even as council meanders toward changing the program, the city’s pension board has allowed at least 32 employees, mostly cops and firefighters, to thwart any reforms to their DROP benefits by allowing them to effectively pre-register for DROP, even if they don’t intend to retire anytime soon. For this group of 32, the “old” DROP is preserved, regardless of whether council changes the program or Mayor Michael nutter succeeds in eliminating it.

Take for example Police Sgt. Joanne M. Beres, 48, who signed up for DROP on March 29, 2011, even though she’s not planning to retire and get a cash bonus of $179,708 until Feb. 12, 2021.

The officer, in other words, now has a six-year window to collect classic — that is, expensive — DROP. Police Capt.

Michael F. Ryan, 53, signed up on March 1, 2011, locking in a bonus of $345,397, even though he’s not planning to retire until April 28, 2017. Fire Capt. Stephen C. neri, 56, signed up Feb. 22, 2011, for a bonus of $309,451, even though he’s going to wait seven years before retiring on April 13, 2018.

Pension board officials say they’re not offering anything new — that the “pre-registration” practice has always been allowed, but was seldom utilized until this year when, presumably in the face of possible DROP changes, city employees have begun taking advantage of it.

“The [city pension] code does not prohibit someone from selecting

[ a million stories ]

train spotting SePTA’s new Silverliner V railcars have been plagued with production problems at fiasco-like levels. But the other day we boarded one on the Manayunk-norristown line, and it was admittedly rather spiffy, with its comfy seats and video screens that were playing a one-minute promotional video from the Greater Philadelphia Tourism Marketing Corp.

Then the video came on again … and again … on an endless loop — played soundlessly but clearly not created that way — championing Philly to its own rush-hour commuters. Just 10 minutes of the same briskly edited images of iconic city sites was enough to make one a little nuts.

Andy Sharpe, communications director of the Delaware Valley Association of Rail Passengers, was interested to hear about the GPTMC video. “SePTA has been running only their information on the Silverliner V screens that I’ve been on,” Sharpe wrote in an email. “Believe it or not, it’s probably a good sign that SePTA is now running the GPTMC video, no matter how batty or homicidal it makes riders and conductors feel. Hopefully, the GPTMC is paying a decent amount of money toward running the ads.”

GPTMC does have a media buy with SePTA, but that video is not a line item on it, so technically it was provided for free, according to GPTMC’s Cara Schneider.

So what are the plans for the video screens in the future? “Realtime news, weather and some trivia information,” said SePTA spokesperson Sylvana Hoyos. Trivia! What kind? “Like facts about the regional rail and things like that,” she explained.

Sounds like sparkling stuff for our commuting pleasure. That is,

once SePTA gets the 100 or so more Silverliner Vs it still awaits out of the 120 it ordered back in 2006.

the only game in town As cyclist Binky McKee rides on the sidewalk along Rittenhouse Square, he weaves between pedestrians. Then — oh no! — he gets flattened by a car as he’s crossing 19th Street.

“Whoops!” Michael Highland says, hitting a button to start over.

Highland is one of the creators of Binky, the main character of Hipster City Cycle, the just-released iPhone/iPad game in which a player guides Binky on his fixed-gear bike through Philly.

After each successful race, Binky throws a party, thereby blowing more of his trust fund. The goal is to reach zero dollars.

“I don’t have a fixie — i think they’re crazy,” Highland notes while sitting in front of Silk City Diner, which exists in pixelized form in the game. A pixelized mayor michael nutter is in there, too, although Highland admits that most of what’s depicted are simply people and places that artist Keith McKnight knows and likes.

Despite some clever marketing (contests to get your likeness pixelized and included in the game!), Apple didn’t prominently feature Hipster City Cycle in its store on the game’s launch day.

“Apple doesn’t do a good job of exposing everything equally,” Highland says ruefully.

But it’s fun to see the local landmarks and the light satire of the hipster community as embodied by Binky. And where’d his moniker come from? Highland smiles. “My mom named him.”

the murky waters of state politics are magically rendered so clear you can see down to the weedy bottom. Such was the case last week, when an investigating grand jury released a 102-page report on the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB) that depicts the oversight of gambling in Pennsylvania as rotten to the core.

Where to begin? How about with the creation of the PGCB’s staff, a process that allowed politicians to appoint whomever they pleased — including an appointment by Sen. Robert Mellow (who announced his retirement shortly before his office was raided by the feds) of Gaming Commissioner William Conaboy, a former lawyer for reputed mobster Louis DeNaples, an applicant for a casino in Mellow’s district. Conaboy resigned, he says, after Mellow’s chief of staff asked him about his upcoming vote on Mount Airy Casino Resort’s license.

Then there’s what the report describes as a systematic attempt by PGCB officials to “scrub” reports by their own investigators into the backgrounds of casino applicants. Former chief enforcement counsel Michael Schwoyer, according to the report, at one point told investigators, “It’s our job to take people and companies that are unsuitable and make them suitable.” The grand jury found ample evidence that reports were tampered with and shortened before ever reaching board members.

Then there was what golly sure looks like the inside job of one Don Shiffer, a PGCB lawyer assigned to handle the application for a competitor to DeNaples’ proposed Mount Airy casino. Shiffer allegedly asked instead to be transferred to the Mount Airy case. When a box of Mount Airy documents went missing, one PGCB employee claims she found it under Shiffer’s desk. Shiffer also was seen “whispering in Commissioner [Raymond] Angeli’s ear” during closed-door meetings about the Mount Airy casino and allegedly made more than 90 calls while employed by the board to Lisa DeNaples, the casino’s manager after her father was indicted for perjury. Less than a month after Shiffer resigned, telling the board his new job was “absolutely unrelated to gaming,” the report says, he began working for a law firm representing Mount Airy. He later became the casino’s vice president.

The revelations go on, and on, and on — and so do the operations of the PGCB, whose chairman, Gregory Fajt, shrugged off the report, noting without irony that “there were no arrests.”

Hop on DROP <<< continued from page 6

Reform efforts could set off a stampede. a DROP entry date or start date into the future,” asserts Francis X. Bielli, executive director of the Board of Pensions and Retirement. For the past dozen years, Bielli says, only about 1 percent of more than 9,000 employees taking DROP have exercised their right to schedule a future sign-up date. And when they did, it usually involved only a matter of months.

Applicants, he adds, still have to meet the minimum retirement age (at least 45 for police and firefighters, and at least 55 for non-uniformed employees) and have at least 10 years of service when they sign up for future DROP benefits.

“It’s a change in behavior by the applicants,” Bielli notes, but “the policy has always been that it’s never been prohibited.”

Joe Boyle, an actuary who has studied DROP at City Paper’s request, says the future sign-up option may represent an “end run” by the pension board to get around any attempts to eliminate or reform the program.

And reform efforts could set off a stampede: Council itself released a statement just last week warning there were “thousands of employees eligible to enter DROP.” The stampede could already be underway. City Paper filed records requests seeking the names of all employees who had signed up for DROP since Feb. 1, 2010. The city responded with a list of 510 employees who had signed up for $84 million worth of bonuses, or an average of $164,000 each. But Bielli said “that number was not all-inclusive” and that “the real numbers are probably at least double that.”

He also said that the number of employees who had signed up in the future for DROP — 32 — was also “not all-inclusive,” adding, “I would suspect there would be more than that group of people.”

Bielli said the pension board would release inclusive records sometime this week. City Council is scheduled to hold public hearings on DROP on June 8.

Mark McDonald, the mayor’s press secretary, declined comment on the future sign-up option, saying only, “We look forward to the hearings and we hope that the council will listen to its better angels and do the right thing and end this program.” (editorial@citypaper.net)

Is the government unconstitutionally â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and indefinitely â&#x20AC;&#x201D; jailing Cambodian refugees? A traumatized community demands answers.

BY HOLLY OTTERBEIN

If the firstdefining

moment of Dang’s life — being born in a refugee camp to parents fleeing for their lives — was involuntary, the second was, he readily acknowledges, a terrible mistake.

Life in the U.S. was better, but not easy. Shortly after Dang was born, his father abandoned the family. His mother spoke no English, and Dang and his siblings grew up poor. “Pigeon became the common meat for us,” says Dang, because it was “readily available and easy to capture.” Dang also faced violence at school and at home, and fell in with a tough crowd. He and his friends — other Asian immigrants and refugee kids — morphed into a gang.

The low point came one day in 1997, when Dang was 15. He was driving in North Philly with a friend, when they were spot-

Dang was taken into custody and sent to prison to await deportation, all because of a 12-year-old felony conviction for which he’s already served his time.

But now, many local Cambodians say, that dream is under attack by the very government that extended a hand in their moment of greatest need — and they hold up Dang as a blazing example.

On Sept. 21, 2010, Dang was taken into custody by federal officials and sent to a prison to await deportation to Cambodia, a country he’s never stepped foot in — all because of a 12-year-old felony conviction for which he’s already served time and since which he committed no other crime. Dang and other legal immigrants — some of them refugees, like him — here in Philly and elsewhere have found themselves smack dab in the middle of a new push by the Obama administration to deport more “criminal aliens” than in the history of the country — a move many see as a goodwill gesture to conservatives.

ted by a rival gang. Their enemies hurled bottles and rocks at their car, Dang says, and his friend handed him a gun.

“I recklessly fired a few rounds in their proximity,” he says.

No one was injured, but Dang was later apprehended and charged with aggravated assault, criminal conspiracy and possessing criminal instruments, and sentenced to five-and-a-half years in prison. He writes in a letter from a York, Pa., detention center that he still feels remorse for firing the gun — “regret,” he says, is part of “a chain that binds me to my past.”

He got out of prison in 2003, when he was 21 years old. Since then, he hasn’t committed another crime. Indeed, Dang, according to those close to him, emerged from prison and from his troubled past a better man. He stayed straight, got married, had kids. Now 29, he’s an all-around “family man,” friends say, with five children and a steady job operating vending machines.

Within an immigrant community still struggling with the challenges of inner-city life and the absence of fathers, Dang became an example of a ne’er-do-well who turned his life around and >>> continued on page 14

has made a few mistakes in his life — but the biggest was being born at the wrong time.

Had he waited a couple of years, he would have been a citizen of the United States, and thus would have enjoyed all the rights and privileges therein. Instead, he came to this country as an 18-month-old baby, growing up and living as an American but not, technically speaking, an American — a distinction that makes his current situation possible.

Dang has spent most of the last year in an American jail, though he’s been charged with no crime. What’s more, his stay has been an indefinite detention, a concept normally outside of American law, and subject to the seeming whim of a federal bureaucracy that’s asserted its right to hold him as long as it deems him a public threat — though the same bureaucracy allowed him to live free for the last seven years.

And all the while, he’s awaited deportation “back” to a country he’s never seen.

Although his parents are from Cambodia, Dang himself was born in 1982 in Thailand, in a refugee camp. His parents had fled there to escape their own government, the Khmer Rouge, which, under the leadership of dictator Pol Pot, massacred an estimated

They’ve also found themselves in a bizarre legal predicament: Unlike most Americans, these immigrants are granted no trials and require no convictions before being detained. Nor does the traditional right against being punished twice for the same crime (“double jeopardy”) apply: Old offenses — for which detainees have already served time — are being used against them.

Nor does it appear, according to records reviewed by City Paper, that they have been granted even that most fundamental of democratic rights: habeas corpus, or the right against indefinite detention.

Community members and immigrants-rights groups denounce these policies, calling them inhumane and in violation of basic American principles. What’s more, many of Philly’s Cambodians feel their community and others have become sacrificial lambs in the country’s political immigration wars.

The Obama administration, says Mia-lia Kiernan, a Philadelphia Cambodian community activist, “thinks they have to show they’re still tough on ‘criminal’ aliens. … But they’ll have to face the consequences of separating families and breaking hearts.”

BIG LOVE: Supporters of the Cambodian refugees include the group One Love Movement, whose members and friends are pictured outside its Olney headquarters. The group’s founders include Kornswagger (left) and Mel Joe Hanzsum (center), as well as Chally Dang’s wife, Ria Cruz, and activist Mia-lia Kiernan (not pictured).

2 million Cambodians in just a few short years in its effort to eliminate “enemies” of the state. The manhunt targeted intellectuals, the handicapped, and Buddhist monks, among many others, and employed such tactics as skinning people alive and forcing them to dig their own graves.

Dang’s mother, father and three brothers managed to escape by crossing the border into neighboring Thailand and running from one squalid refugee camp to another while dodging attacks by communist guerrillas. As they waited for a new country to take them in, Dang was born. In 1983, the U.S. welcomed his family into the country as refugees under a resettlement program, and they became legal permanent residents shortly thereafter.

The Dang family eventually settled into the Olney neighborhood, a part of Philadelphia that quickly became dotted with dozens of Cambodian-owned stores, restaurants and homes as thousands of other Khmer Rouge refugees joined them in America throughout the ’80s. Philly is now home to one of the nation’s largest Cambodian populations.

The story of that community is, in some ways, a classic American dream come true: Fleeing violence and oppression, the Cambodian refugees found in America safety, opportunity and hard-won, workingclass success.

made the best of a second chance.

Nina Ahmad, chair of Mayor Michael Nutter’s Commission on Asian American Affairs, has met Dang and his family and affirms, “Chally completely remade himself.”

Nonetheless, eight years after his release, the government has moved to have Dang deported.

In 1996, Congress passed a group of bills that made deportation a requirement for any immigrant — legal or not — who commits an “aggravated felony,” a vague term that includes everything from nonviolent drug offenses to tax evasion. These laws also rendered non-citizen immigrants ineligible for forgiveness or individual consideration before a court.

Members of the Cambodian refugee community, advocates say, didn’t comprehend the impact of these laws at first. After all, even following the Vietnam War and the fall of the Khmer Rouge, the U.S. didn’t return a single Cambodian refugee until 2002, three years after Dang’s conviction.

At first, the U.S. deported only a very small number of Cambodians each year. But then, in 2010, the Obama administration deported 195,000 convicted criminals — more than the country ever had before — including some Cambodian refugees. Though Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will not release detailed data on 2010 removals until August, Cambodian communities around the country say that 2010 saw record deportations. And they expect even more.

Conservatives like the Obama administration’s new strategy. Bob Dane, a spokesman for the right-wing Federation for American Immigration Reform, argues that immigrants -— even refugees — ought to be held to a “higher standard” than U.S. citizens, and therefore, if they commit a felony, should be deported.

“Refugee status is never guaranteed,” he says. “It’s granted.”

The administration has also billed its effort as a sensible and humane use of resources: The idea is to round up the bad guys and leave the good guys alone. “We’re focusing our limited resources and people on violent offenders and people convicted of crimes,” Obama said during a speech on immigration in May. “Not just families, not just folks who are just looking to scrape together an income.”

But when U.S.law

prevents courts from weighing the details of a potential deportee’s life, the difference isn’t always obvious.

Harold Ort, an ICE spokesman, says the agency must deport people “whose serious criminal histories mean they would pose a significant threat to local communities.” But that doesn’t apply to Dang, say his family and friends — nor does it apply, they insist, to other Cambodian detainees in Philadelphia.

In the same week in September 2010 that ICE picked up Dang and sent him to prison, he was joined by three other Cambodians from Philly: Mout Iv, Vanney Van and Davy Phean.

Their stories are remarkably similar: They are all refugees who fled the Khmer Rouge regime as children. The oldest, Iv, was 9 when he arrived in the U.S. Many were poor, raised by single

They also all committed crimes in the ’90s as minors or young adults, and are now facing deportation as a result of those crimes.

Also like Dang, they’ve changed — before getting locked up, they all had mortgages and steady jobs. Three of the four have children. Iv had his own business, a popular barbershop in Olney.

That’s not all they have in common. All four spent more than six months in prison awaiting deportation — a length of detention that may violate U.S. law.

“The U.S. cannot detain anyone without a purpose, regardless of their immigration status,” says Valerie Burch of the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, adding that there are only a few valid reasons to jail immigrants awaiting deportation past six months: if they’re extremely violent, men-

tally ill or have pending terrorism charges.

She cites Zadvydas v. Davis, the 2001 case of a Lithuanian immigrant whom the U.S. had held in deportation custody for half a year while trying to find a country that would take him.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that if an immigrant sits in jail for longer than six months awaiting deportation, it’s the government’s duty to prove that the removal will happen in the “foreseeable future” or that the person presents an “extreme threat.”

ICE has used the vagueness of both criteria to hold all four of the Philadelphia Cambodians in excess of six months, according to documents provided to City Paper. Van, Phean and Iv all arrived in Cambodia during the past two weeks, after each waiting for about eight months in detention.

According to those documents, it appears that the four men were detained, essentially, because of a paperwork problem: “ICE is currently working with the government of Cambodia in securing a travel document,” an ICE official wrote to Dang in February. Likewise, in March, ICE wrote to Iv, “A travel document … is still pending.” >>> continued on adjacent page

Power Up Your Creative Career...

immigrant rights activists and community allies sent a petition to ICE, demanding that the government free the men until their native country could accept them. They collected nearly 1,000 signatures — to no avail.

ICE officials, the families say, have declined even to provide basic, crucial information to detainees’ loved ones. More than a week ago, Cruz found out — not from ICE officials but from Dang’s cell mate — that Dang had been removed from the York detention prison. Then, after days of not knowing his exact whereabouts and ICE officials not returning her calls, Cruz learned Monday night that Dang had been put on a plane. Now she’s left to worry incessantly that he might be unsafe in Cambodia, where newly arrived deportees are often mistreated and extorted for money.

“They’re so cold,” she says of ICE. Community activist Kiernan, who had been accompanying Cruz on her trips to visit Dang, is more blunt about how she feels the current administration has treated her fellow Cambodians: “To the government, they’re dirt.” (holly.otterbein@citypaper.net)

never been charged with another crime. Iv was picked up on a single DUI charge.

Detainees stuck in detention are unable to work, earn income or support their families as husbands and fathers. Iv’s fiancée, CJ Vonglaha, gave birth to a daughter just three months before he was detained. “It’s heartbreaking that she didn’t get to know her father, and she won’t ever,” says Vonglaha. “Well, I guess she’ll know him over the Internet and the phone … ,” she adds, trailing off.

Dang’s wife, Ria Cruz, had a baby girl shortly after Dang was imprisoned. During jail visits, she says, “He can’t even hold her.”

At the beginning of 2011, the four refugees wrote to ICE, begging the agency to either release them back into the community or deport them to Cambodia. But ICE refused.

In a moment of hope, local Cambodians,

ICE officials have argued that they can imprison the local refugees for longer than six months because their trip to Cambodia will be happening in the “imminent” future, and because they are a “threat to society.” Spokesman Ort explained simply, “Detention is used to ensure the safety of the public.”

Community activist Kiernan calls those arguments preposterous. “I’d like to know what their definition of ‘imminent’ is.

They said their removal was imminent in January. It’s May.” How many other immigrants have been held for longer than the six-month limit upheld by the Supreme Court is unclear.

But a one-day survey of ICE detainees awaiting deportation conducted by the Migration Policy Institute in 2009 showed that 9 percent had been in jail for more than six months. Many detainees, lawyers say, never challenge their imprisonment in court. Of the four Cambodian men, only one hired a lawyer — the rest, their families say, decided to save their money for their uncertain futures in Cambodia.

Meanwhile, even as the government claims that its indefinite detentions are legal, Congress is considering a law that would explicitly let ICE detain immigrants for longer than six months.

In a hearing on the bill last week, a lawyer for the ACLU said it would “result in the unnecessary detention of thousands more individuals.”

As for the “threat to society” that ICE had claimed the four men posed, community members dismiss the notion as ridiculous. Three of the four had already been out of prison for seven years or more (immigrant detentions notwithstanding) and had

➤ CoMPared to atLaNtIC CItY, Philly has

some catching up to do when it comes to sexing up its summer. The old Trump Marina is going to get swankier and look sultrier now that Landry’s Inc. has remade it as the new Golden Nugget. Resorts Casino pulled up its skirt and yanked down its top for a new sexy image last week (with AC mayor Lorenzo Langford in tow), even promising as much naked dancing as the law will allow. And porn mogul Tom Sherwood Sr. has been sending out naughty, feathery invitations to Diving Horse Cabaret and Steakhouse, which we previously mentioned may host a series of private clubs to serve the “swinger” audience. What can Philly do to compete? Put PYT’s Tommy Up in a Speedo? Dress the milkmaids at Frankford Hall in something skimpier? And can we slip Mayor Nutter into something provocative at the sexy press conference? Work it, girls. ➤ The recently deceased punk-before-you-were-punk Mikey Wild will be honored (and money will be raised for funeral expenses) June 13 at Legendary Dobbs. Expect old friends in Scareho to kick-start. ➤ When former Philadelphia chef/James Beard award-winner Michael Schwartz returns home to participate in his buddy Marc Vetri’s June 14 Great Chefs event at the Naval Base (benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand) and a June 15 collaborative dinner at Vetri’s Amis, ask him about 600 N. Broad.

Rumor has EB Realty Management Corp. boss Eric Blumenfeld doing more than building a pool on top of the mega-noshery currently starring Vetri’s Italian gastropub, Stephen Starr’s seafood shanty and Joe Volpe’s event space. Schwartz, owner of Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in Miami, is said to be thisclose to signing to open a spot at 600NB. Stay tuned. ➤ Sweet charity: June 3 at Loews Hotel is the annual Children’s Crisis Treatment Center’s Roundup with a cowboy twist. Bring yer lariats, chaps and wallets. Yeehaw. June 4 is the Badges of Honor 5K in Fairmount Park. Weatherman John Bolaris isn’t just a guy who got drugged and had his AmEx jacked, he’s the founder of the Honor run to pay tribute to fallen Philly police officers like John Pawlowski. ➤ Sundays at South Street’s Laff House get less funny when live jazz nights start June 5 with saxophonist Tim Warfield. Honk. ➤ If you hit Ars Nova’s AACM Fest, look for Mike Reed. He’s an AACM chairman and director of the Pitchfork Music Fest. Get him to connect the dots between AACM’s noisy jazz past and the Pitchfork gen’s hipster doofuses. ➤ Lastly, there’s a cool rumor that Ortlieb’s JazzHaus in NoLibs might be reopening under the auspices of some NYCers with cash to burn. Cool. ➤ Icepack goes Cubist — with photos by Scott Weiner, no less — at citypaper. net/criticalmass. (a_amorosi@citypaper.net)

CONGO LINE: Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prizewinning Ruined is set in a bar/brothel where hungry Congolese soldiers can buy food, drink and sex.

Mark Garvin

curtaincall David Anthony Fox on theater

➤ What Is It Good For?

The Pulitzer may be our most prestigious prize for American drama, but its recent history is quirky. There’ve been worthy winners (August: Osage County), but also winners that felt like tedious sitdrams (Dinner with Friends) or maudlin movies-of-the-week (Rabbit Hole). Then there are the political choices (Topdog/ Underdog, Anna in the Tropics), where the issues, rather than the quality of the plays, seem to have been the motivating factor.

You now have a chance to judge the 2009 winner — Lynn nottage’s Ruined, currently on stage at Philadelphia theatre Co. — for yourselves. even with that lofty Pulitzer imprimatur, we have a right to wonder just how good a play it really is.

Ruined certainly takes on an important issue, specifically strife in today’s war-torn Congo, an arena for high-stakes male violence and aggression. The biggest victims here aren’t the active combatants, but rather the innocent women who become sexual pawns in the game of war, and are routinely raped and discarded (i.e. “ruined”). nottage’s play is set in a bar/brothel owned by Mama nadi, who provides food, drink and sex to a hungry crew of soldiers. Mama has hardly chosen a career we approve of, but in this hellish world, we understand the need to survive by any means necessary.

Brecht’s Mother Courage is a clear model here, and it’s certainly apt to re-contextualize that great play in this contemporary

setting. The trouble is, it’s not an ideal fit for nottage, whose skills as a writer involve invigorating conventional melodrama with lovely, lyrical sentiment. The moments in Ruined that really work are the emotional revelations. But ultimately, nottage’s play wants to be political, personal, dramatic, comedic — and veers uneasily around all of it. There are times when the play seems less Brecht than Warner Bros. circa 1940. The final scene, touching on its own, is bizarrely off-kilter with what comes before it.

Most damagingly, amid all this, nottage’s central metaphor — the ruination of the title — sometimes slips away.

A brilliant production might help Ruined cohere, but at PTC, director Maria Mileaf traffics chiefly in big gestures. A few Brechtian touches feel out of place in what is basically a realistic play, and though there are some good performances, others fall into clichés. But ultimately, the problem lies with nottage.

Through June 12, $46-$59, Suzanne Roberts Theatre, 480 S. Broad St., 215-985-0420, philadelphiatheatrecompany.org.

I fell in love with Alan Ayckbourn in 1974. It was summer, my first time in London, and the play was his Absurd Person Singular. It was instant head-over-heels. unlike most vacation romances, mine has endured for nearly four decades. Sure, there have been bumps in the road.

How does your garden grow? If you ask Jennifer Bartlett, whose flora-fied exhibit “the Studio inside Out” is on view at locks Gallery this month (artist reception Fri., June 3, locksgallery.com), she’ll likely tell you it’s refreshingly lush. The nY-based, Cali-bred painter takes a break from the urban-industrial steeliness of her typical work for this series, inspired by her Brooklyn garden. no pretty maids here, but verdant colors and luxurious textures aplenty.

We could learn from the DIY punks who stitched together “the Queer houses of Brooklyn … ,” an installation piece that manages to simultaneously honor individuality and teamwork. The hodgepodge of multicolored fabric — representing LGBTQ group activist efforts like the Stonewall Riots and ACT uP! — surrounds a map of the different “houses” within their radical community. For the total experience, put your differences aside and see it at Grizzly Grizzly (opening reception Fri., June 3, grizzlygrizzly.wordpress. com) with a head-butting colleague.

Multimedia installation artist Jerstin Crosby likes his depersonalized slogans writ large. Jesse Hulcher — fond of high technological art forms — likes naming projects, but just a little bit smaller and often more personal. For Space 1026’s “My name is Url” and “My name is irl” (both opening Fri., June 3, space1026.com), Crosby will cram and Hulcher will expand, both to highly visual postcard size, and ask the question “Is the Internet real?” in a lengthy series of often hilarious images.

➤ REbEccA WOLFF dOES her best to spook

us, but the spookiest hints she sprinkles through The Beginners (Riverhead, June 30) have nothing to do with the supernatural. Even though naïve Ginger Pritt is ready to believe her older, glamorous, inappropriate new friend Rachel might be either ghost or witch, it’s only when her suppositions move from the mythical to the metaphysical that things get worrisome.

“She had told me once of her suspicion that when she walked out of the sight and hearing of others she ceased to exist,” Ginger recollects. “Or, conversely — alternatively, but not exclusively — that whatever was out of her range of sensation ceased to exist.

She knew the name for this. They call it solipsism, or sometimes, simply, self-interest.” And it’s Ginger’s suspicion that Rachel believes this, and that she might even be right, that produces The Beginners’ largest chill.

That’s a fitting enough fear for a self-absorbed 15-year-old, only starting to figure out who she is.

And if it’s predictably not the worst thing Ginger faces, it’s still more eerie than Rachel’s hints about drowned witches on dark New England nights, and carries more of a payoff than Wolff’s muddled occult forebodings. One of the things that a coming-ofage story like The Beginners should do is create characters who don’t cease to exist when they turn a corner, or disappear from our minds as we dog-ear the book and set it on the night stand. Ginger’s own solipsism should be an antidote to our own.

A writer’s ability to create a rich, plausible inner life for her characters is one way she can keep them with us: animating a familiar plot, whether it’s a young girl’s sexual awakening or an older woman’s struggle with her husband’s infidelity, with

own neuroses as Woody Allen. Midnight in Paris is his latest auto-diagnosis, recognizing his chronic discontent and romanticization of an ideal other time, other place.

That would be 1920s Paris, which Gil (Owen Wilson) — a successful screenwriter and, naturally in the Woodyverse, struggling Serious novelist on vacation with his highstrung fiancée, Inez (Rachel McAdams) — pines for as his own gilded age. Wilson is shockingly well-cast as Allen’s latest surrogate, lending a charming, wistful quality to the compulsive overthinking that every Allen protagonist shares. Despite his defined role as the leading chronicler of modern intellectual life, Allen has never shied away from leavening his films with fantasy, and the latest iteration results in his best film in recent memory, light and amiable but honestly funny. After opening with a Manhattan-inspired montage of Parisian sights, he sets up what appears to be another talky comedy of manners, with Gil carping about death and the emptiness of success while Inez and her Republican parents roll their eyes. She begins to spend more time with a blowhard former acquaintance (Michael Sheen, delighting in every pretentious declaration), giving Gil the time to wander freely and, as it turns out, take a nightly car ride back in time. Suddenly, Gil is part of a circle of artists that includes Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald, ernest Hemingway, Gertrude Stein and Pablo Picasso. The who’s-who caricatures crowd the film a bit, but its highlights are in some of the depictions of these iconic figures: Corey Stoll’s Hemingway speaks in hilariously clipped bursts of swaggering bravado; Alison Pill’s Zelda is winningly unstable. Adrien Brody plays Salvador Dalí as a Chuck Jones cartoon, gesticulating wildly and articulating absurd non sequiturs.

These are not so much people as the characters of Gil’s imagination, who reveal that no one is ever content — without removing the sheen of Allen’s adoration. —Shaun Brady

Another talky comedy?

unwelcome visitors, virtuoso physical shtick — have dimmed through repetition. not every one of his 75 (and counting!) plays is a winner. And even the best of them require exceptional productions to realize the myriad embedded nuances, which nearly always include acute awareness of a particular kind of english-ness. I’ve seen high-powered British companies that didn’t get it; for Americans, it’s even harder.

Which brings us to Wilma theater’s production of My Wonderful Day, in which a very pregnant Afro-Caribbean cleaning woman brings her 9-year-old daughter, Winnie, with her to work in the tony London home of two glamorous achievers whose relationship is in a rocky place. Winnie is meant to sit quietly and finish her school essay — about her “wonderful day.” Of course, there’s more going on in the house than anyone anticipated.

The ingredients promise a near-perfect setup, including the obvious potential for adult characters who are far more childish than the actual child. More intriguing still is the opportunity to play with the strange ways grownups interact with kids — sometimes failing to notice them, sometimes babying them inappropriately, occasionally oversharing as if the children were itty-bitty therapists.

Sounds like comedy gold!

Alas, Wonderful Day never quite leaves the gate. The tone is an odd mix of gentle humor and rip-roaring farce, and there’s an awful lot of setup for what ultimately is a weak payoff. The Wilma production chalks up one big win: Lavita Shaurice, a young adult in the role of Winnie, manages to be convincingly childlike and conquer the role’s considerable acting challenges. Also very good is Kate eastwood norris, who invigorates Wonderful Day with just the right brand of Ayckbourn energy. But the awkwardly staged production lacks the play’s essential comic elan.

Ah, well. As anyone who’s been happily in love for 40 years will tell you, not every day will be wonderful. Through June 19, $36-$55, Wilma Theater, 265 S. Broad St., 215-546-7824, wilmatheater.org. (d_fox@citypaper.net)

Performing arts groups often put the piece that packs the most powerful punch last. Miguel Iglesias Ferrer, director of danza Contem­porĂĄnea de Cuba, would rather start with a bang. His company began its show at Merriam Theater with the kinetic thrill ride Demo-N/Crazy. Had this been their only piece, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have gotten our moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth.

Beginning in silence, save for a female singing a lilting melody, Demo-N/Crazy gradually gained speed and a dissonant score. The 20-plus cast ripped through an astounding array of inventive solos, duos, trios and ensemble work. Dancers lifted, turned, bended, folded and scampered. The multiplicity of manipulations, at times like acrobatic wrestling, accentuated the dancersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; exceptional muscularity and fabulous flexibility.

This group is gorgeous in its youth. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re virile and sexy, and highly technically proficient, while also embodying heartfelt emotion.

The follow-up, Horizonte, was also very physical, but subdued compared to Demo-N. Lights bathing the stage in deep blues and rich reds created an atmosphere of sensuous elegance. The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soft, flowing dresses enhanced this mood as the cast skipped and swayed to evoke a breezy tropical paradise.

For the finale, Mambo 3XXI, Danza revved its engines again.

The full cast stood upright, wearing deadpan faces while going through the motions of repetitive, rigid gesture. Then came a series of start-and-stop sequences with a cascade of duets. The movement grew increasingly larger and freer as it morphed from mambo to hiphop. By the end, the dancers were back to doing their own thing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only this time they were smiling and dancing in a loose, ecstatic groove. Merriam Theater, May 24.

a strong voice and an individual perspective. Mia Fredrickson, a middle-aged poet exiled to her hometown after her husband of 30 years requests a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pauseâ&#x20AC;? in Siri Hustvedtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s slim The Summer Without Men (Picador, April 26), does this quite well.

(Mia, charmingly: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pause was French with limp but shiny brown hair.â&#x20AC;?) Mia is charmingly, understandably fragile, and Hustvedt sets her inside a nest of female relationships and obligations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to her mother in an assisted-living home, to the teenage girls for whom she conducts a poetry workshop, to the overwhelmed young mother who lives next door â&#x20AC;&#x201D; each one carefully engineered to highlight some aspect of Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s character, to draw out reflection and growth. The fact that none of these surrounding characters ever becomes more than an accessory or mirror held up to gauge Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s self-regard is more Hustvedtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fault than her characterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Banana Yoshimotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s The Lake (Melville House, May 3), with much less incident and several fewer characters, sidesteps this shortchanging. She is able to do this, in part, because the book is a duet; even though the story is about a muralist, Chihiro, the object of her affection is as present as Miaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband is absent. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also due to the very gentle way Yoshimoto ties her characters, through a few simple scenes and plotlines, to a larger world rather than just each other. With veiled hints at the Aum Shinrikyo cult, and a softly illustrated debate about art and commerce and patronage, Chihiro negotiates her own connection to and disaffection from the world outside her head and her relationship.

It might be a little disingenuous to place Chihiro alongside Ginger and Mia; but what Chihiro navigates, equal parts love story and mystery, relies on her own developing sense of self, and of how that self acts in society and the world. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not

much to the movement of this book; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a simple little progression from the point where Chihiro discovers she can be, and then is, in love with strange, skinny, haunted Nakajima, to the point where she understands his history. But in Yoshimotoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s careful calibration of Chihiroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s artistic principles and Nakajimaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wounded self-protection, through calmly spacious language that takes on some of the matter-of-factness of Mari Akasaka or the studied blandness of Murakamiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early novels, she balances their disaffection and otaku solipsism against the imprint of the larger world theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re caught in.

New City of Life aNd death|D+ jean-Luc Godard famously accused Steven Spielberg of “rebuilding Auschwitz” in order to make Schindler’s List, and while Godard’s anti-Semitism may have something to do with his antipathy, the larger point about dramatizing historical atrocities stands. There’s a troublesome aspect to any war film, and the bigger they get, the more troublesome it becomes. Atrocities don’t come much worse than the nanking Massacre, in which hundred of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians were systematically executed by japanese soldiers over the course of several weeks in 1937 and 1938. Chinese director Lu Chuan (Kekexili: Mountain Patrol) restages the national trauma with a sense of dignity and scale, but not a shred of moral intelligence. Cheap-looking CGI shots of the japanese blasting through the city’s walls look even more fake in the movie’s black-and-white, and the inhumanities stacked end-to-end start to blur together. The film develops a handful of characters amid the carnage, including a japanese soldier, a relatively sympathetic nazi who tries to stem the bloodletting, a Chinese “comfort woman” who is raped by innumerable servicemen, among others, but Chuan lacks Spielberg’s preternatural feel for balancing spectacle and sentiment. City of Life and Death’s respectful treatment of the past gives mass murder a tasteful sheen, and so becomes its own kind of atrocity.

sPork|C+ In our post-Middlesex universe, it’s no surprise someone

decided to make a coming-of-age movie about an intersex teenager. Really, it’s about damn time. (Plus, think of the awkward-years fodder the conceit presents: High school is ghastly enough with one set of reproductive organs.) But Spork makes one error from which it can’t possibly recover: Writer/director j.B. Ghuman jr. crafted his film in the faux-’80s style of Napoleon Dynamite, which means Spork — and everyone around her, including her hairspray-addicted next-door neighbor, Tootsie Roll (Sydney Park), who spends all her time booty-shaking to “Tootsie Roll” — is downright weird, genitalia notwithstanding. The plot doesn’t really even revolve around high school hermaphroditism. It’s more about Spork’s obsession with winning a dance contest to raise money and bring her mother back from the dead — or something. As the titular outcast, Savannah Stehlin acts appropriately hurt when called things like “he-boy she-boy,” but fails to grasp the difficulty of the role. Spork is the kind of movie john Hughes could have made, and john Waters should have made, but in Ghuman’s hands its potential turns quickly to trifle.

The BalCony

Giuseppe Capotandi’s sumptuous, sexy thriller twists itself in knots trying to wrong-foot its audience — and succeeds, at least for a time. Italo-Slovenian chambermaid Sonia (Kseniya Rappoport) meets widowed ex-cop Guido (Filippo Timi) at a speed-dating session and it’s love, or something, at first sight.

But after the art-stuffed mansion he guards is ransacked by a group of wellinformed thieves, it becomes clear their relationship isn’t as it seems. Indeed, almost nothing is. Capotandi and his three screenwriters stuff the film backto-front with recurring lines and shots, creating an eerie sense of déjà vu and a feeling of looming expectation they never quite pay off. —S.A.

SNL prime number Kristen Wiig steps out of her Target smock and into the spotlight as Annie, a failed bakery owner/perma-singleton whose best friend gets engaged and quickly falls into a plan-pamper-party vortex. Only Annie, self-dubbed “maid of dishonor,” isn’t up to the task of dotting all of her friend’s I’s. Along the way are moments both unnecessary and completely insane, and Wiig occasionally veers into Gilly territory. But no matter — the sentiment behind all the silliness is spot-on. —C.H.

squeaky-clean Disney trilogy built (shakily) around the contributions of the departed Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. But new-to-Pirates director Rob Marshall somehow manages to play it safe and overcomplicate matters at the same time, relying so heavily on the safe charms of Captain jack Sparrow (johnny Depp) that the rest of the 3-D production comes off as a disjointed rattling-off of “maybe we could do this?” ideas. —D.L.

was still plenty of crass, infantile, uproarious material left to wring out of numero uno. Yep, this loud, shortsighted and satisfying (in a Snickers bar kinda way) sequel, which sees the crew flying to Thailand for the wedding of Stu and his fiancée, Lauren (ed Helms and jamie Chung), is only a slightly tweaked version of the 2009 original.

Swap Vegas for Bangkok. Swap missing man Doug (justin Bartha) for sweet little Teddy (Mason Lee), Lauren’s little brother. Keep neurotic dentist Stu, Type A dickbag Phil (Bradley Cooper), one-liner machine Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and the wholly racist caricature that is Mr. Chow (Ken jeong) exactly the same. Add a nicotine-addicted monkey and Paul Giamatti. Is it safe and lazy? Absolutely, but we should be thankful that Phillips didn’t cave to the natural pressure to go all new Coke on a simple formula that begets surefire results. —Drew Lazor

The occurrence of absentee

fathers is particularly acute in the black urban American community. Questions and answers as to why this is so lie at the center of Word Becomes Flesh, a lyrical choreopoem by Marc Bamuthi Joseph. Presented from the perspective of a young single father, Word uses spoken word, live music, dance and visual art to shatter myths while taking a searing look at a segment of society that Joseph believes is both miscast and misunderstood.

okkervIl rIver/ TITus anDronICus Alongside The Hold Steady, Austin vets Okkervil River and Glen Rock, N.J., upstarts Titus Andronicus are pretty much the reigning standard-bearers of brainy, brawny, grandly visionary literary indie rock.

Last year’s The Monitor found scrappy punkers Titus taking the Steady’s Springsteen fixation and running with it for a grandiose, triumphant hourplus quasi-conceptual opus,

with equal parts bleary-eyed Pogues abandon and pompfilled Bright Eyes earnestness (and lyrics equally apt to paraphrase Billy Bragg, Scooby Doo and “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”). Okkervil sometimes tend toward subtler, folkier ruminations, but the new I Am Very Far (Jagjaguwar) is their rawest, toughest, weirdest and most wildly ambitious record to date, coming off a fruitful collaboration with Texas psychpunk godhead Roky Erickson steeped in mythos and mystery and awash in fascinatingly indulgent self-production excess. Much like their current tourmates, they’re liable to rock just as hard as they reference.

“We thought about opening a new store somewhere, but not yet,” says Nanos.

“It’s hard to plan ahead in this economy, nothing is guaranteed.” One thing is certain, though: It’s high time to celebrate six years of hard-times-proof independent Philly fashion business with sales, cocktails and cupcakes.

Nearly everything in the store will be marked down 20 to 50 percent for the birthday shindig. So put on your party hat and revel in this chance to don chic sundresses, subtle tunics and other equally fresh wardrobe staples.

Broad St., 215-895-2390, drexel. edu/westphal ➤ Like the once-sane Whitney told us, the children are our future. That holds true in fashion, too. As their semester comes to a close, Drexel seniors and grad students will present their annual fashion show — the punctuation to years of design education. The show doubles as our chance to play Peeping Tom into the future of style. But in a totally non-creepy way, of course. The show will feature collections from 33 designers, influenced by artists like Miles Davis and Basquiat, service trips to Cambodia and our tried and true blue-collar counterculture. “This is [the students’] moment to make their statement,” says Catherine Byers, assistant professor in Drexel’s Design & Merchandising program. Those statements will be a projection of all the students have learned about fashion filtered through their personal tastes and creativity. Consider the show to be your personal fashion crystal ball.

To kick off Beer Week, Varga Bar is throwing a block party that doubles as an audition for local bombshells eager to land a spot in its annual pinup calendar. Photog Celeste Giuliano, who’ll be on hand shooting retro-clad hopefuls, says she’s looking for girls who maintain a sense of mystery. “Classic pinup images are all about … leaving a bit to the imagination.” expect a hefty collection of craft beers, music, and hot dog- and wing-eating contest — because everyone knows there’s no room in the pinup world for those eatlike-a-bird model types.

the Great trailer Park MUsical 11th Hour Theatre Co. delivers serious musicals, like Avenue X and Rent, but they excel at edgy musical confections, like The Bomb-itty of Errors and their first co-production with Montgomery Theater, Reefer Madness. Their second effort with Montgomery, David nehls and Becky Kelso’s off-Broadway hit The Great American Trailer Park Musical, promises more inspired silliness in director Megan nicole O’Brien’s production,

Dennis Coffey One of the undersung architects of funk and soul — whose guitar work supplied the inimitable wailing wah-wah and blistering fuzz of prime Motown sides like the Temptations’ “Psychedelic Shack” and “Ball of Confusion,” edwin Starr’s “War” and Freda Payne’s “Band of Gold,” and graced countless northern Soul cult classics — Dennis Coffey is finally getting some props. But the 70-year-old guitarist is hardly ready to rest on his laurels.

His recordings have been spotty and sporadic for a few decades now, but his just-dropped epony-

RaDian The Viennese trio Radian channels entropy as a songwriting tool.

Lebowitz opine uninterrupted on everything from the Algonquin Round Table to how AIDS not only robbed the world of too many artists but its most discerning audiences.

eet the brewer, kick the keg, drain the firkin, crawl through 10 bars — with so much on your drinking itinerary, it’s sometimes hard to remember that eating is integral to not dying a painful Philly Beer Week death. Here are picks for a few of the many food-forward events during 2011’s PBW, which runs june 3 to 12. ➤ FRIday, JUNE 3

eat: Good Dog (224 S. 15th St., 215-985-9600, gooddogbar.com) drink: Iron Hill Breweries (Pa., n.j. and Del.) details: It’s gonna take all three Good Dog levels to handle eight

brewers from the eight tri-state Iron Hill locations, each of whom is bringing a specialty beer to pair with courses from chef jessica O’Donnell. Think Sumo IPA (Wilmington) backing up fried chicken or barrel-aged Russian Imperial Stout (north Wales) washing down mini Beef Wellingtons. 6-10 p.m., $100.

eat: noble (2025 Sansom St., 215-568-7000,

noblecookery.com) drink: Stillwater Artisanal Ales (Baltimore, Md.) More on: details: Brian Strumke’s meticulous style jives with detailed-oriented chef Brinn Sinnott’s plates. Pairings here will include Korean barbecue cobia with Stateside (a Belgian farmhouse/IPA hybrid) and rock octopus with Debutante (a farmhouse brewed with spelt and rye). 7-11 p.m., $65.

it wouldn’t have existed without Philadelphia or its steamy summers,” writes local author Jen Miller in the recently released second edition to her coastal compendium The Jersey Shore: Atlantic City to Cape May (Countryman Press, June 6). Escape with a seaside jaunt this summer, whether for the day, week or season, using Miller’s book and personal blog (downtheshorewithjen.com) as your guides.

Here she shares some of her best Shore food tips.

AC’s Chef Vola just won a James Beard Award.

Now how are we supposed to get a reservation?

I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.

After dinner, we’re hitting the casino. Which one won’t deny us double Maker’s times infinity? How about you make a sure bet and skip the gambling to drop your money right into booze?

Because you absolutely must go to the Dizzy Dolphin at the Atlantic City Hilton. It is by far the weirdest bar in Atlantic City. It’s supposed to be a ship inside a bar inside a casino.

We’re in Margate, but want to avoid the typical South-Philly-by-the-Sea hangs. We should grub at … Downbeach Deli. Forget the bread and butter tray — they serve you a pickle, peppers and tomato tray before your meal. If you want a drink, though, go to Maynard’s. Best indoor/outdoor bar in the Downbeach area.

Who shucks the meanest Cape May Salt at the Shore? The Knife & Fork Inn in Atlantic City. Go just to see the building. Its history is connected to Boardwalk Empire fame. Ask for the Nucky story.

Boardwalk eats: Wildwood or Ocean City?

Ocean City. Mack and Manco’s, Shriver’s Salt Water Taffy, Johnson’s Popcorn and Kohr Brothers Custard.

Chickie & Pete’s is opening up locations in Wildwood and Ocean City.

We’re in ritzy Avalon — where are we eating for cheap? Concord Café. It’s a small place tucked into the Concord Hotel with the best pub grub around. Go for the fries doused in buffalo sauce with blue cheese. And it’s cheap. The dude and I had dinner with drinks for under $25.

One dinner, anywhere at the Shore, no budget.

I love the Ebbitt Room in Cape May. I hear they’re going to be doing farm-to-table fixed-price menus again this summer if you actually do have a budget.

I also really dig Izakaya at the Borgata.

How about a $10 budget?

Mack and Manco’s. No shower required. Get it with birch beer. Or, if you’re just waking up after an Atlantic City bender, the Bloody Mary at the Chelsea in Atlantic City. Ask for it extra spicy. (adam.erace@citypaper.net)

Who is Soweto Kinch?

He is a Birmingham-raised, Oxford-educated saxophonistcomposer and MC â&#x20AC;&#x201C; considered one of the most exciting and versatile young musicians in both the British jazz and hip-hop scenes. His ability to unify such diverse influences as Charlie Parker, Madlib, Ornette Coleman, Stevie Wonder and Duke Ellington with high energy and polished style is bar none marked by a Mercury nomination, UMA awards, and MOBO awards. By the axe he outshines the likes of Wynton Marsalis, on the mic he collects props from the likes of KRS ONE and Mos Def. Four years following A Life in the Day of B19: Tales Of The Towerblock called, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the most convincing and accomplished unions of hip-hop and jazz to dateâ&#x20AC;? by Charles Waring, Soweto re-emerges on the international music scene with The New Emancipation (Soweto Kinch Records, 2010). Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss his rare US performance at the Bride.
