Schools don’t supply what students want

On our interview with author and educator Pedro Noguera, “What We’re Doing in Schools Isn’t Working”:

Like many well-meaning people, Professor Noguera is at times correct, but not for the reasons he suggests. That is why his methods will not produce results any more than the efforts of UR or Geneseo. All of these efforts answer a lack of demand with more supply. Noguera’s approach (like nearly every approach we see in school improvement) will fail, due to lack of demand. Lack of demand for the educational product is continuously answered with perceived improvements in supply. When there is still a lack of demand after the 50th iteration, we get another design aimed at supply. The demand shortage is evidenced by the lack of desire to either pay for the product or to work to achieve what the product requires. When students manifest demand limits, schools statistically point to data that suggests that what students want is wrong. Schools don’t supply what students want; they tell students what they think they ought to want. It reminds me of Dr. Seuss constantly offering green eggs and ham. Of course, it is up to adults to let students know that there is a substantial earning differential with college degrees and that a strong high school program can prepare them for that. This is where Professor Noguera is correct. College educated parents often do provide demand. But sometimes adults are misguiding students. Adults should not be dishonest or uninformed enough to suggest that state bare-minimum 2 CITY

requirements to graduate high school (ushered in by nearly every superintendent in the state to pad their own stats) are actually inadequate preparation for university level programs. After providing deceptively poor preparation, many schools encourage students to graduate with $100,000-plus in debt to get diplomas, some of which are completely unmarketable. That is irresponsible. So how do we change demand? I’m going to make some bold claims: Graduation rates would rise to over 80 percent if schools permanently expelled the students who are there only to threaten, disrupt, and break laws. If students want to learn to make an honorable living working manually, let them! Private schools have two major advantages: 1) Demand, as evidenced by a willingness to pay for the product, and 2) ability to remove criminals and elements that lead to a bad school environment. This includes trade schools. What will happen to the 20 percent? That is the normal reaction. Rather than to stipulate that an 80-plus percent graduation rate would be a great improvement, we stick to our under-50 percent with some specious sense of virtue that hasn’t helped anyone. Stop pretending that the answer to poor demand is more supply. Answer the real demand with adequate supply. RICHARD HENDRICKS

To deal with ISIS: wipe them out

The solution for putting an end to ISIS lies in our willingness to hunt them down like the animals they are, and get down in the gutter to unleash hell on each and every one of them. Forget about political correctness, forget about offending the Muslim religion, and forget about taking half measures in responding to their threats. Now is the time to accelerate our efforts to ensure that there are no more Manchesters. If we can’t form a “coalition of the willing” to finally remove them from the face of the earth,

we must go it alone. And make no mistake, there should be no “rules of engagement” as we pursue them. How much longer are we going to wimp out as we attend one memorial service after another? Either we take the harsh but necessary steps today, or we continue to watch the carnage unfold. Which is it going to be? DENNIS REGAN

Lake Ontario’s high water

Your story might “hold more water,” as it were, if you got some of your “facts” straight. If you had bothered to check with the National Weather Service, you would have learned that this spring is nowhere near “record setting” precipitation. We’ve had much wetter springs without Lake Ontario flooding. The man-made control of water levels during a two-week period in March had a lot to do with losing control of the lake level this spring. MARK PHILLIPS

This comprehensive article demonstrates the complexity of addressing climate change now, before things get impossible to solve. For on the face of it, this lake- level controversy is an easy one for politicians to take advantage of, the public (which hasn’t been directly affected by the damaging waters) to ignore, and the media to leverage for sensationalism. Plan 2014 is an attempt to contain the larger climate crisis, but it is falling victim to our complacency toward science and its implications. For quite some time now, the National Climate Assessment has verified that heavy downpours have been increasing for our Northeast region by 71 percent since 1958. This means that it is more likely that homes and our infrastructure are going to be affected in the way they are now. Until climate change is dealt with and planned for on the scale and time frame that will matter, we will continue to blame the messenger and squander our resources until they are no more. FRANK J.

GUEST COMMENTARY | BY GEORGE CASSIDY PAYNE

Trump’s Riyadh speech and the roots of terrorism Mary Anna Towler’s Urban Journal is on break; it’ll return next week.

While in Riyadh, President Trump delivered a speech in front of Arab and Muslim leaders, urging the Muslim world to take a stand against global terrorism and share the burden of eradicating extremism in the region. The president stated: “Terrorism has spread all across the world, but the path to peace begins right here on this ancient soil in this sacred land. America is prepared to stand with you in pursuit of shared interests and common security, but the nations of the Middle East cannot wait for American power to crush this enemy for them. The nations of the Middle East will have to decide what kind of future they want for themselves, for their country, and frankly for their families, for their children. It’s a choice between two futures, and it is a choice America cannot make for you.” Inevitably the mainstream American news establishment will praise Trump for sounding presidential. Likewise, his base will give him high marks for holding the Muslim world accountable for naming who they perceive to be the main culprit for global terrorism. However, this praise is unmerited in light of the United States’ own culpability in spreading terrorism in the region. From Afghanistan to Iraq to Yemen, the US funds, arms, and trains terrorists, militias, and other extremist groups that spread destruction and chaos. For decades, the US has fueled the fires of sectarian conflict and terror. Numerous examples can be cited. The American-led coalition invasion and occupation of Afghanistan (2001-2014) sparked the Taliban Insurgency and commenced an intractable war that is still being waged today. The invasion and occupation of Iraq (2003-2013) led to the overthrow of the Ba’ath Party government and the execution of Saddam Hussein, but unleashed a hell fury of violence that has claimed millions of casualties. As a result, Iranian influence in Iraq has increased, and al-Qaeda in Iraq evolved into what we now know as ISIS. The US led war in North-West Pakistan has continued unabated since 2004. This campaign of mainly secret bombings and drone strikes has produced immeasurable suffering on a mostly civilian population that has no real means of self-defense. The Libyan Civil War of 2011 led to the overthrow of the Gaddafi government and the death of Muammar Gaddafi, but, like the Iraq fiasco before it, unleashed a Pandora’s

Donald Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia was willfully ignorant about America’s role in terrorizing Middle Eastern nations. Box of post-civil war carnage. Today, Libya is teetering on the brink of total anarchy. The War on ISIS (known as Operation Inherent Resolve) is part of the Iraqi Civil War, Syrian Civil War, Second Libyan Civil War, the Boko Haram insurgency, and America’s “War on Terror.” On a regular basis, airstrikes on ISIS and al-Qaeda positions in Iraq, Syria, Libya, Nigeria, and Afghanistan cause thousands to flee their homes, helping to perpetuate an international refugee crisis. The latest act of aggression against the Muslim world occurred on April 13th, when the US dropped a GBU-43/B MOAB on an ISIS controlled tunnel system in Afghanistan, resulting in the deaths of 94 ISIS militants, including four commanders. To this day, we do not have data for how many innocent casualties there were. But clearly the use of this weapon set a horrible precedent that will not be fully realized for years to come. Donald Trump’s speech in Saudi Arabia was willfully ignorant about the role America has played in terrorizing Middle Eastern nations through invasions, occupations, sanctions, embargoes, drone strikes, and the use of nightmarish weapons such as the MOAB. To talk about the role of “Islamic” terrorism in the region without mentioning the United States as a military and economic aggressor is not just historically misaligned; it is also morally disingenuous.

City water passes tests

The City of Rochester released its annual drinking water quality report, which showed that a list of common contaminants, most of which occur naturally in Hemlock Lake and Lake Ontario, were below EPA thresholds. Lead and copper, which the city says come from plumbing corrosion, were present in the samples. The report says lead levels have been consistently below EPA limits, and it recommends using cold water for drinking and at the beginning of the cooking process to minimize exposure.

State approves photonics money Empire State Development’s board of directors approved an $81 million grant for a key AIM Photonics facility at Eastman Business Park. The money, part of a $250 million pledge to AIM Photonics from the state, will be used to equip and operate the testing, assembly, and packaging facility. Last week, members of the national consortium also gathered in Rochester to discuss updates on AIM Photonics projects and designs for a collaborative project, as well as to meet in working groups.

Seneca Park Zoo partners with RIT

The Rochester Institute of Technology and Seneca Park Zoo formed a partnership that will allow students and faculty to engage in educational projects that also support the zoo’s mission. The work will draw from several disciplines, including environmental science, museum studies, marketing, new media, and game design. For instance, the zoo will open its Center for Biodiversity Exploration sometime this summer, and RIT students have already been working with zoo staff on ways to enhance visitors’ experience and their understanding of biodiversity.

Lake residents get state aid

The state is making $7 million available to homeowners whose property has been damaged by the Lake Ontario-St. Lawrence River flooding. Individual homeowners will have access to up to $40,000 to repair the damages. Governor Andrew Cuomo also signed legislation that makes $10 million in clean water infrastructure funding available to municipal governments sooner than originally planned.

TECHNOLOGY | BY KURT INDOVINA

Kodak releases ‘camera-first’ phone With a foot modestly in the future and a thumbs up to the past, Kodak made a daring step into the tech world last week with the release of its new smartphone and DSLR camera hybrid, the Kodak EKTRA. Designed as a “camera-first” smartphone, Kodak hopes to bridge the gap between expert photographers and smartphone users. The EKTRA features a 21 megapixel camera sensor with f2.0 glass lens and a 13 megapixel frontfacing camera. The device comes with a suite of Kodak-made apps exclusive to the phone, one of which uses filters

and vignettes to simulate the look and feel of a classic Super 8 camera. Running the latest Android operating system, the EKTRA’s specs meet the status quo of what can be expected in today’s average phones: 32GB of space, 3GB RAM, and a 5-inch full HD capacitive multi-touch screen. Currently the EKTRA is only available on AT&T and T-Mobile networks in the US. Although the camera specs are impressive for a smartphone, they’re not on par with full-fledged DSLRs, and the phone itself is mid-tier at best, making it neither a camera

replacement nor a reason to replace your current device. The EKTRA seems heavily tied to the nostalgia of Kodak’s heyday, and that’s tricky: anyone from the days of analog photography will have an appreciation for the phone’s design, but to a new generation, it’ll feel more like retro-ware, which may make it a novelty, rather than a desired product. The Kodak EKTRA Smartphone is costs $399.99 and can be purchased at B&H Photo Video, Best Buy, Amazon, and kodakphones.com.

The Trump administration has fed a wave of protest and activism, and some resisters have looked for groups to join and work with. As a result, a few suburban Monroe County Democratic committees have seen welcome growth in their membership.

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE

Suburban Democrats are adding members Donald Trump and the Republicans won the White House and Congress, but they’ve also energized progressives and issue-oriented moderates who see a destructive national political agenda that they must fight. Or so the story goes. Resisters have filled streets, parks, and public squares to protest Trump’s Muslim ban, his administration’s attacks on science, his directive ending certain antidiscrimination protections for transgender people, and his attempts to dismantle Obamacare. But change requires numbers. And realizing that, some resisters have sought out groups to work with and join. In Monroe County’s suburbs, that activism has translated to growth in some local Democratic committees – the smallest cogs in the massive Democratic Party machine, but arguably the most crucial. Some of the town committees have grown substantially, and a couple have come out of hibernation. Trump is the reason for the interest, local Democratic leaders say. “He’s been my best recruiter,” says Tom Trapp, who led an effort to resurrect the Clarkson Democratic Committee and who now serves as its leader. The Clarkson Democratic Committee

was previously active enough that in 2007, it got Sheldon Meyers elected to the Town Board; this in a town with 1,067 registered Democrats and 1,765 registered Republicans. But a few years ago, it fell dormant. Trapp, who was treasurer, just kept filing “no activity” statements with the State Board of Elections, a routine act that was enough to preserve the committee’s technical existence. Last year, however, he started knocking on doors, looking for people to join the committee. And in September, it reactivated with eight members; it’ll have 20 members soon, once they’re officially added to the roster, Trapp says. The committee plans to campaign for its own town justice and Town Board candidates this year, as well as the Monroe County Democratic Committee’s endorsed county sheriff candidate, Todd Baxter, Trapp says. And it’s working with the Sweden Democratic Committee – which has seen its own successes lately – to try to strengthen its operations, he says. On the east side of the county, some Democrats are working to restart the Webster committee, which had gone dormant, says MCDC chair Jamie Romeo.

As of May 1, Republicans outnumber Democrats 10,730 to 9,039 in Webster. Republicans also have the edge in Pittsford – the count is 7,120 to 7,007 – but the town Democratic committee has doubled, if not tripled in size, Romeo says. Brighton, a Democratic stronghold, has also seen some growth, she says. The Penfield Democratic Committee’s membership has grown by about 10 percent, says leader Kate McArdle. The town has 9,389 Republicans and 8,342 Democrats. And the Perinton Democratic Committee has boomed, though it’s been an active group over the years. It had about 18 members when its new officers were elected in August, says leader Pat Domaratz. The count will rise to 75 next month, once some new members are officially added, he says. The committee also made some operational changes that helped make it more open to new members, which helped, he says. The committee made use of its ranks around the recent school board elections. The elections are non-partisan, but support for public education is a core Democratic value, so committee members went door to door, urging their neighbors

to support the Fairport School District’s budget, Domaratz says. That effort enabled conversation, but Domaratz believes it also helped get more people to the polls; 700 more people voted than last year, and the budget passed. One of the committee’s members, Kevin Glover, also successfully ran for a seat on the school board. “We want to make small-D democratic action habit forming,” Domaratz says.

THE 2017 CITY ELECTIONS | BY TIM LOUIS MACALUSO

The state of the neighborhoods In this year’s November election, Rochester voters will choose the people who will manage the city and its schools for the next four years: the mayor, five of the nine members of City Council, and three of the seven members of the school board. But because voter registration and turnout in the

city is so heavily Democratic, the winners will likely be determined in the party’s September 12 primary. That primary will be particularly competitive this year, with three candidates for mayor, more than a dozen for City Council, and at least four for school board. Over the next three months, we’ll ask leaders

Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition president Kyle Crandall: The next five years are crucial. PHOTO BY KEVIN FULLER

Beechwood If Rochester is your idea of a recovering Northeast US city, surely Beechwood is surely typical of a recovering Northeast city neighborhood. A mostly working-class community north of East Main Street and west of Culver Road, Beechwood was in serious decline for years, says Kyle Crandall, president of the Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition. At that time, he neighborhood, dotted with boarded-up vacant homes, some of which were known drug dens, was marred by a lack of interest and little investment, says Crandall. He moved there 18 years ago, and he says the first seven years were tough. “I can remember when they put in the bump-outs on Parcells Avenue, they were big news,” he says. But Beechwood is changing, he says. The neighborhood still has some houses in foreclosure, but the city has demolished many vacant homes, including some on East Main Street that were among the area’s worst eyesores. Crime is still an issue on some 6 CITY

MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2017

blocks, but it’s much less a problem than it was, Crandall says. And instead of people fleeing the area, younger people are moving into the neighborhood to take advantage of its more affordable housing, he says. Crandall credits past and current city administrations with what’s being described as a stabilization of Beechwood that’s been long in coming, beginning with building the Thomas P. Ryan Center on Webster Avenue. The building also houses School 33 and the Sully Library. Beechwood is now the focus of Connected Communities, Inc., a non-profit that’s dedicated to revitalizing neighborhoods by tackling some of the main causes of cyclical poverty. What do Beechwood residents want to hear from mayoral and City Council candidates? “That’s what we’re about to find out,” Crandall says. The Beechwood Neighborhood Coalition will hold a town hall-style meeting with the candidates on Thursday, June 1, in the Ryan Center, 530 Webster Avenue, at 7 p.m. “Beechwood is not a political organization, and we don’t endorse anyone,

of individual neighborhood groups to share their concerns and their hopes for action from the next city leadership. An occasional series featuring their responses begins this week.

but we want to have an open forum for all of the candidates to share their stance on the issues,” he says. “We want to make sure that whoever is elected mayor, whether it’s Mayor Warren or if someone else takes over, they would continue the momentum and collaboration we’ve developed.” For instance, the vision for a revitalized Beechwood includes reducing absentee ownership and increasing homeownership to 60 percent, up from 30 percent, Crandall says. And residents have been pushing city officials to crack down on the neighborhood’s many mini markets, which have frequently been the site of drug dealing and other crimes. Beechwood has a surprising number of small businesses, restaurants, and bars. And its proximity to the Public Market and the East Main Street and Culver Road corridors is an economic asset that needs to be leveraged, Crandall says. “I feel like we are finally set up for success as long we can continue working together,” Crandall says. “I see the next five years as extremely crucial. This is our chance, and we want to build on that.”

Charlotte

Charlotte, the northwest finger of Rochester that ends at Lake Ontario, is something of an anomaly when it comes to city neighborhoods. It’s a beach community, but it doesn’t feel like one. It’s a city neighborhood, but it feels more like a suburb. And even though a considerable amount of money has been spent on revitalization – streetscapes, a new marina and port terminal – Charlotte can seem kind of plain. But that’s the way many people who live in Charlotte like it, says Jonathan Hardin, president of the Charlotte Community Association. He moved there to be closer to the water, the area’s nature trails, and its beauty, he says. “When we were buying our house, people would always say, ‘Way out there?’” Hardin says. Charlotte is trying to figure out what it wants to be, Hardin says. There are great

housing options for first-time buyers and a healthy mix of long-time merchants and neighborhood bars and restaurants with some newer, trendier additions. But Charlotte residents are divided over how much new development they want, Hardin says. Navigating this has been a challenge for the current city administration. And it could make a big difference in the upcoming mayoral and City Council elections, because finding that sweet spot between old beach community and a popular hot spot isn’t going to be easy. “I’ve met new residents who don’t want much growth, and I’ve got people who’ve been here for 30 years who do,” Hardin says. “And then there’s about half that don’t want anything at all to change.” A major development proposal a hotel and condominiums angered many residents, he says. They complained that the project was too big and that they weren’t included in the planning process. Mayor Warren killed the project almost a year ago, partly because the developer was having difficulty finding funding. Hardin says much of the frustration around the project was a result of poor communication between the city and Charlotte’s residents, something he thinks has improved. Much of the last nine months has been spent on resetting that relationship, he says, and he hopes the elections won’t adversely affect it. The city and community association will be working with the Community Design Center of Rochester on a charrette sometime this year. The charrette, which is essentially a community-led design and planning session, will help residents envision Charlotte’s future well beyond the port area. Whoever is elected mayor needs to follow through over the long term and help fulfill the vision. And while Charlotte’s out-of-theway beach location is a plus for many residents, business owners continue to need help with marketing and promotion in the off season, Hardin says. But better communication is needed between the city, county, and residents during the summer months, too, he says. The city owns the beach, but the county maintains it, so when there’s a safety or cleanup problem, people frequently don’t know who to call. “If there’s a problem with a Porta Potty, they call everybody to get a response,” Hardin says.

When Jennifer Johnson opened the doors of Misfit Doughnuts and Treats to the public for the first time on May 13, her entire stock of vegan desserts was wiped out in a little under three hours. With doughnut flavors like lemon poppy seed, cannoli, s’mores, and blood orange white chocolate, Johnson is aiming for vegan-friendly decadence, and maybe convince some skeptics along the way. “People say, ‘You can’t make that vegan.’ And I say, ‘Watch me,’” says Johnson, who has been a vegan for the

last seven years. “Vegans at heart are just a bunch of foodies.” Before opening Misfit, Johnson was the owner of Pudgy Girl Bakery, which made vegan pastries and desserts largely for wholesale and special orders. After three years, however, Johnson made the hard decision to close the bakery in late 2016. She says she was devastated by the closing, but Misfit Doughnuts was already on her mind. Johnson says a friend pointed out the space at 982 Monroe Avenue and suggested she start a bakery there. Johnson shrugged off the idea — until a second friend called her with the same idea. “OK, that’s a sign from the universe,” Johnson says she thought at the time. She moved into the space in March, started a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, and was ready to open by May. Now, she’s try to keep pace with demand. Her numerous flavors are constantly rotating, and she hopes to add more menu options as business develops.

Although Misfit sells a variety of desserts, doughnuts are the star. That’s clear from the bakery’s logo, an anthropomorphized doughnut sporting a mohawk, Chuck Taylors, and thickrimmed glasses. The name of the bakery itself is a nod to punk band The Misfits. References to other elements of pop culture appear throughout Johnson’s creations: the Black Flag doughnut (named for another of Johnson’s favorite bands) is filled with strawberry sriracha jam and topped with chocolate ganache; or there’s the Twin Peaks doughnut, a cherry pie flavor with crumble topping, which was made to celebrate the revival of the cult-classic 90’s crime drama. Almost all of Misfit’s doughnuts are yeast-raised brioche-style, which Johnson appreciates for their rich texture, pillowy softness, and large air pockets. In conventional baking, those desirable attributes are achieved with a healthy amount of butter, eggs, and milk — but, of course, this is a vegan bakeshop. Each new recipe, Johnson says, requires considerable “reverseengineering” in order to make it compliant with a vegan lifestyle. She usually begins with a conventional recipe and works backward to find a similar-tasting vegan result. At the moment, she favors soy milk in place of cow’s milk, Earth Balance in place of butter, and an egg substitute derived from chickpeas. She also has a recipe for vegan bacon that involves coconut chips and soy sauce — there’s a maple bacon doughnut on the menu — and a vegan sausage, egg, and cheese doughnut is in the early stages of development. Johnson hopes her new bakery will prove to be a guilt-free haven for local vegans as well as an educational opportunity for those who may look skeptically at desserts devoid of butter and eggs. It doesn’t hurt that Misfit is capitalizing upon the doughnut’s current surge in popularity nationwide. Nowadays, it’s more likely than not that you’ll be eating a dressed-up doughnut with knife and fork — and not just in the morning. Whether the current public appetite for doughnuts will last remains to be seen, but Johnson has an eye on the future. Asked what she thinks the next big baking trend might be, she pauses thoughtfully: “Churros,” she says.

IT TOOK ALMOST A DECADE, BUT THE STARS FINALLY ALIGNED FOR THE LEVEL 7 EXPERIENCE continues on page 12

10 CITY MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2017

The Level 7 Experience is (from left to right) drummer Aaron Hughes, bassist Dexter Redic, keyboard player Ekwem Bogmis, vocalist Grant "Skribe Da God" Atkins, and beatmaker Adam "DJ 2way" Ackerman.

The Level 7 Experience was inevitable. Kind of like an epic tale of long-lost love, the band’s five members spent almost 15 years circling one another until the stars aligned. Separately, the musicians in The Level 7 Experience have been deeply tied to Rochester’s jam band, reggae, and funk scenes and actively a part of helping create an evergrowing, tight-knit community of fans and bands. It has made the band and the hip-hop music it creates that more approachable. Each month, The Level 7 Experience hosts a showcase at ButaPub where local emcees can join the band onstage in a freestyle cypher. It’s the band’s hope to create a holistic space for hip-hop artists, and together break away from the negative stigmas Rochester bar-owners and goers alike have for hip-hop shows. Vocalist Grant “Skribe Da God” Atkins and

drummer Aaron Hughes grew up together in Rochester and became roommates during college. Hughes was training to become a session drummer on the jazz circuit — he has since played alongside renowned artists like 12 CITY MAY 31 - JUNE 6, 2017

John Scofield and Maceo Parker. During that time, Atkins wasn’t playing an instrument, but felt motivated creatively and had a growing admiration for Hughes’s drumming. He inevitably picked up a Djembe, and together Atkins and Hughes started making reggae music. To this day, Atkins believes the core of his musical existence is rooted in their friendship. In 2003, Atkins attended the Ultimate Breakdown Hip-Hop event for his first rap battle. Although he lost, he came away with a significant connection: Adam “DJ 2way” Ackerman, a beatmaker, was only 17 years old at the time and was excitedly watching from the crowd. He approached Atkins as he was getting off stage in hopes the two could work together. Atkins and Ackerman immediately connected on what they call a “musical spiritual level” and started recording hiphop together under the moniker Level 7. Hughes would occasionally sit in with the duo, but he eventually moved to New York City to pursue his own career in professional drumming. Before he left, though, Hughes coordinated a few musicians to sit in on

Level 7 performances — when this happened, the group called itself Skunk’s Monks. Atkins had also joined Giant Panda Guerrilla Dub Squad in 2003 as a percussionist and vocalist. But in 2007, he made the difficult decision to leave the band and focus on his family and career as a history teacher in the Rochester City School District. Although he didn’t have the time to devote

himself to a group, he remained on the reggae circuit as an occasional featured artist with other Rochester bands. Among those bands was roots-reggae outfit Mosaic Foundation, which took Atkins and Ackerman under its wing, and the two made a connection with keyboard player Ekwem Bogmis. As their friendship grew, the idea slowly formed to make music together outside of the reggae genre. Although it was ambiguous at that time, the point of focus for Level 7 was to expand on what they were doing with two turntables and a microphone and evolve into a full live sound. Bogmis moved out of Rochester to Ithaca around 2014, then later moved out of country to South Korea. There he performed as B33T JUIC3, a one-man band creating loops with guitars, percussion, and vocals. Meanwhile, Atkins and Ackerman continued to dream of a full band. With no specific musician in mind to join them, they would have open jam sessions, but no one particularly stuck — so the vision wouldn’t quite yet come to fruition.

The belief was that it would happen … just not yet. There needed to be patience to allow the universe to let things fall as they may. Before bassist Dexter Redic joined what would eventually evolve from Level 7 to The Level 7 Experience, he would attend jam sessions with Atkins and Ackerman. But he was already committed to another Rochester band, RootsCollider. It was clear that everybody involved wanted to create something magical together, but they were all consciously following other passions In the summer of 2016, Atkins and

Ackerman began collaborating with longtime friends Matt Schenk and Sean Driscoll, and they finally started to find that full band sound they were looking for when the guitar and bass were added. Drummer Aaron Hughes was back in town, too. Just days into practicing together as a band, Bogmis came home from overseas, and everything really started falling into place. They all began jamming in Schenk’s basement until that following fall: Schenk and Driscoll split off from the rest of the group, leaving the band with a void. Just at that time, Dexter Redic found himself without a band — RootsCollider had also split. “I would call and call,” Redic says, “until finally they let me come jam with them. I was looking for like-minded bandmates and to get all this stuff out of my head. I was going crazy.” When Redic joined, he didn’t only fill the band’s bass void, he personified the idea that it wasn’t truly an experience until the right people came together. The decision was made that a guitar was no longer needed (it muddied up the sound they were going for). The stars finally aligned so fluently and naturally, it was almost cosmic. The five began writing as a band with a truly prolific process that Atkins describes as “allowing the music to write itself by pulling sounds out of a large creative reservoir and see what fits.” Each one of them is an artistic vessel with different influences and skills; without all their ideas brought forth, they couldn’t build the unique sound they want. The band incorporates a Buddhist philosophy: let go of the ego; don’t let the mind get in the way. One Saturday night, in a basement

somewhere in Rochester, I sat in on one of The Level 7 Experience’s practices and witnessed the five musicians melt into one unified form. Taking in the practice was like listening to them have conversations through their music. Atkins, sitting in a computer chair with his back to the band, trancedly spit rhymes he wrote for another beat created by Ackerman the night before. Meanwhile, Ackerman looped and sampled Sun Ra like a mad beat scientist with his Roland SP303 and Ableton Live. The song wasn’t nearly finished, but to the untrained ear one wouldn’t have

guessed that. Bogmis laid down soulful keys effortlessly while Redic strategically came in heavy on the groove sounds. Each of their faces contorted to the music, staring into their own creative spaces. They vibrated off one another, like the music notes were charged atoms and in turn created a new, personal universe. As they took a break from their practice, I posed a few questions to the nebula of talent and humbleness. An edited transcript of that conversation follows. CITY: What does the “experience” mean in Level 7 Experience? Adam Ackerman: The

experience is the vibe with the crowd. Grant Atkins: The mission and vision of the experience is to use our collective gift of wisdom and understanding we have acquired from our perspectives and fuse that. Use the art as a vehicle to pretty much code that artistic message and share it, or externalize it, and spread it. It’s not just us — it’s everybody who influenced us and supported us. Dexter Redic: We also have been pulling a lot out of each other. Like, pulling moments of “This shit is awesome!” When you remove that ego from it, you get to enjoy it. If you can do that for a crowd, get them to feel like that — especially because we improvise a lot. We have set forms of songs before we play, where we will leave it open to see how we feel from the crowd. Aaron Hughes: That’s where the word “experience” comes from: if you can read the energy from the crowd. So have you ever had a bad show experience then? Ekwem Bogmis: Well, I’ve thought we had

some pretty ill shows before, and Skribe will be like, “Nah, that show was no good.” Atkins: I feel like I am barely the toughest guy to please when it comes to how the show went. Redic: I know I can’t afford to go to as many shows as I see people going to — shows that I’m playing. I respect that, and I want to make it worth their time. I’m trying to heal them and myself. No show is a bad show. You guys have a lot of reggae, jazz, and jam band backgrounds, which you can clearly hear in your music. How would you describe your sound?

Atkins: We call it party music. We take

from the fun music, which includes reggae, hip-hop, psychedelic-funk rock. Those are the polarities we vibe between, but there are no limits. Redic: [laughs] You listen and tell me what you think it is.

at transferring the light code. If our lumen level is only bright enough to fill a 100-person room, then that’s what it is in that moment. The goal is to not have a goal but to love the process. Hughes: I wouldn’t say no to tour dates in a Winnebago. Sign me up!

Are there any influences the band shares as a whole? Atkins: I’m going to get really esoteric

How do you think you are contributing to Rochester’s hip-hop scene? Atkins: We are conscientiously doing it

here: the influences are all meta. Frequencies, vibes, and trying to quantify the unseen, so to speak. So it’s almost like fuckin’ dark matter, you know? It’s a conjuring. It’s the traditional sense of music-making, where you’re conjuring up a deity or spirit of sorts. The influences go back to even Miles Davis. Miles wouldn’t give musicians chart music — you just had a mode, a feeling, an idea. So that’s kind of the influence there. But also, though, Fela Kuti, WuTang, Sun Ra, Grateful Dead, Phish... Ackerman: For me, MF Doom and Madlib. J Dilla, too. Redic: Victor Wooten. Bootsy motherfuckin’ Collins. What’s in your near future? Do you guys have any goals with the band? Atkins: We want to crystallize and record

some music.

Okay, but do you guys want to be put on the map and eventually get signed with a record label? Atkins: We want to spread this healing

and love vibration to a more mass audience, of course. The focus right now: to stay true to the philosophy. To the desire to be more and more effective

for the culture. What we are doing for the culture, the city, it’s an inward and outward conscience movement. Ackerman: By breaking down the stigmas. By breaking down the walls. If it’s real hip-hop, if it’s about the right things, it’s not going to be a negative time. We don’t need to label it as just “Gangster Rap” — maybe in the 90’s. We have to break down the stigma. When you say hip-hop, what images does it bring to different people’s minds? We can change that in Rochester. Atkins: When I say “do it for the culture,” it’s not just the culture. It is culture as a larger idea, and that is to clearly express to different ways of life that we bring together, to make the sound. So breaking down stereotypes of what hip-hop culture is and enriching that at the same time. We actively break those down and build up the positive elements of it. We are very specifically focused on and intentionally doing the Butapub hip-hop showcases monthly to bring artists together. That is what the culture of hip-hop is primarily. We’re there expounding or pushing the boundaries of what those artists feel hip-hop is. By anchoring it every time, with our interpretation of the music. We are creating a safe, positive space. rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 13

The cover artwork by drummer Dusty West for Diluted’s debut EP, “Never Fit In,” is in many ways a perfect package for the tunes. Colorful and in conflict, the illustrated montage of chaos pulls no punches and leaves room for the ensuing aggression. Diluted draws from several metal subgenres, including thrash and hardcore, along with grunge and rap to create an amalgam of its own making. The best songs on this five-track EP — like “Hipster Helmets and Harpsichords” and “Sledge Hovercraft” — utilize high levels of energy that’ll make you want to mosh as if a weasel was shoved down your pants. “Never Fit In” is a decent first attempt at going over the top. — BY ROMAN DIVEZUR

David Murray and El’Zabar Duo MONDAY, JUNE 5 BOP SHOP RECORDS, 1460 MONROE AVENUE 8 P.M. | $20 ADVANCE; $25 DOOR; $15 STUDENTS | 271-3354, BOPSHOP.COM

When David Murray was growing up in Berkeley in the late 1960’s, the Bay Area was a fertile place for music. Groups like Sly and the Family Stone and The Whispers were emerging from the region, and Murray’s own home was overflowing with melodies. His mother was a pianist and music director at the family’s church, where his father played guitar. One of his brothers played clarinet, another played piano, and his cousin played trumpet. Murray took up the saxophone, flute, and piccolo, and by the age of 12, he was backing singers. At 13, his trio won a contest with an unusual prize: a three-year gig playing every weekend at Shakey’s Pizza Parlors. “We’d play tunes like ‘A Taste of Honey,’ but with a jazz flavor,” says Murray, who performs at the Bop Shop on Monday, June 5, in a duo with Kahil El’Zabar. “I was going toward jazz and I didn’t even know it. I always wanted to be in the foreground, not in the background. I didn’t want to play with bad singers.” Murray also played in R&B bands, but when he discovered saxophonists like John Coltrane, Coleman Hawkins, Sonny Rollins, Albert Ayler, and Ben Webster, he got serious, analyzing them and copying solos from their records. 16 CITY MAY 31-JUNE 6, 2017

“It took me a while to set up my style,” Murray says. “I studied the giants and they all had their own styles. You get tired of mimicking and if you’re serious you develop your own style.” Four decades later, Murray is not only one of the greatest improvisers in jazz, he is among the most technically brilliant sax players. Since the mid-1970’s he has released more than 150 albums, including “We Is: Live at the Bop Shop,” a duet with El’Zabar. Released in 2000, the disc was recorded at a well-attended concert at the Bop Shop’s previous location in Village Gate. After playing in high school bands, Murray won

a California state scholarship and decided to attend Pomona College where jazz scholar and drummer Stanley Crouch was teaching. When Murray attended a rehearsal at Crouch’s home, he found jazz greats Bobby Bradford and Arthur Blythe in the living room. Pomona was a strong environment for jazz, but after three semesters, Murray traveled to New York City for an independent study. “I was going to interview Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor, John Cage, and McCoy Tyner, which I did,” Murray says. “I was interviewing Dewey Redman, and he said, ‘Put that pencil down and pick up your saxophone.’ “Things went pretty rapidly. I started playing gigs. I started making records. Finally, after a while, I forgot about this whole school thing. There was a window I had to climb through and I climbed through it.” Murray became a major player in the thriving “loft jazz” scene. Almost four decades later, in 2012, he returned to Pomona to accept an honorary degree.

1976 Murray became a founding member of the World Saxophone Quartet. He and the other three saxophonists — Oliver Lake, Hamiet Bluiett, and Julius Hemphill — were established players when they were invited to a New Orleans college for a series of workshops. They discovered that they could play powerfully together without a rhythm section. “When we first got together everybody would try to out-blow each other,” says Murray. “I used to call it Star Bores. It sounded like some kind of contest. Finally we decided to make music together. I got on one end, Julius got on the other. He anchored the band; I played the rhythm. One guy would step forward and the other guys would accompany him.” In addition to the wonderful blend of saxophones, the group was capable of moving seamlessly from traditional jazz to the farthest reaches of the avant-garde, sometimes in the same tune. “We had a great composer in Julius Hemphill,” says Murray. “Everybody knew a lot of tunes. We all wrote in different ways. We were all strong players, and we developed a sound together.” Over his career, Murray has branched out,

composing for film, theater, and opera. He has collaborated with poets, including Amiri Baraka and Ishmael Reed. “You get a poem from someone, put it on the piano, and after a week or so, the words turn into music,” Murray says. “Next thing you know, you’ve got 20 people singing and you’re making an opera.” He has also worked with artists like Cassandra Wilson and Taj Mahal, and he recently created big band arrangements for Macy Gray. It was a departure for the soul singer. “They use all these tricks in the studio to expand their horizons,” Murray says. “My approach is to listen to someone’s voice and build a world around it, try to make it more personalized. When a singer hears that back, they come to appreciate their own compositions more.” At the Bop Shop, Murray will once again be playing in a duo with El’Zabar. Though El’Zabar is best known as a percussionist, Murray points out that he does much more. Aside from being the founder of the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, El’Zabar has worked with Stevie Wonder and collaborated with Julie Taymor and Garth Fagan on “The Lion King,” Murray has nothing but admiration for him. “It’s incredible playing with him,” Murray says. “He’s a very soulful singer, he plays percussion, and he dances. He’s a visionary and a poet. When we play, it doesn’t sound like a duo, it sounds like a real band.”

This ship’s run aground [ REVIEW ] BY ADAM LUBITOW

Oh, what a difference 14 years can make. Every subsequent chapter has offered “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead diminishing returns, leading up to the utterly forgettable “On Stranger Tides” (the first “Pirates” Men Tell No Tales” movie without Verbinski at the helm) in 2011. The (PG-13), DIRECTED BY ESPEN SANDBERG AND fifth film in the series, “Pirates of the Caribbean: JOACHIM RØNNING Dead Men Tell No Tales,” charts the same familiar NOW PLAYING course as those past installments: supernatural curses, double crosses, and a hint of love story, with When the original “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie a bit of swashbuckling and sea battles in between. came out in 2003, no one had high expectations The new film’s plot revolves around the search for a summer blockbuster inspired by a theme park for the Trident of Poseidon, a mystical doo-hickey ride and tied to a genre (the seafaring adventure) that allows those who wield it to lift any and all that had long since fallen out of favor with seabound curses. And if you’ve seen even one audiences. But thanks to the deft hand of director “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, you can probably Gore Verbinski, Johnny Depp’s instantly iconic guess how enticing that power might be to any of performance, and one hell of a catchy orchestral the franchise’s increasingly unwieldy number of theme, the movie became a runaway hit, and gave characters. birth to one of Disney’s more popular franchises. One of those characters happens to be Henry Turner (Brenton Thwaites), son of Will Turner (Orlando Bloom) and Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley). With Will still cursed to captain the Flying Dutchman for all eternity, Henry enlists the help of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp, of course) to help him Geoffrey Rush and Johnny Depp in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.” find the Trident PHOTO COURTESY WALT DISNEY PICTURES

and save his father. Along the way, they add to their party Carina (Kaya Scodelario), an orphaned astronomer who may hold the key to the Trident’s whereabouts. As per franchise requirements, we also get another band of villainous undead sailors, this time lead by the vengeful Captain Salazar (a hammy Javier Bardem), whose fate is tied to a run-in with Captain Jack many years prior. And because the series’ characters are harder to get rid of than barnacles on the underside of a ship, Captain Jack’s old foe, Captain Barbossa, has to get involved (at least Geoffrey Rush still appears to be having some semblance of a good time with the role). Add in zombie sharks, plus a witch — who serves no purpose other than to make viewers wonder why characters spend so much time accusing Carina of witchcraft when there’s, you know, an actual witch running around — and it’s a lot to add to the already bloated, convoluted mythology of the franchise. Despite being the shortest film in the series, “Dead Men Tell No Tales” still manages to feel padded out. Thwaites and Scodelario are a moderate improvement over the star-crossed mermaid and missionary protagonists from the last film, but they still make for pretty bland leads. It doesn’t help that neither gets a whole lot to do. Five movies in, and even the series’ most beloved character, Captain Jack, is but a shadow of his former self. Depp’s portrayal has only grown bigger, broader, and more cartoonish with every film; watching him coast on relentless mugging and silly pratfalls, it’s a bit of a shock to remember that the actor was Oscarnominated for his work in the original.

Film Previews Full film reviews available at rochestercitynewspaper.com.

This all makes for mostly unmemorable viewing, though there are a few fun visual touches: Salazar’s ghostly ship rearing up like a centipede as it attacks, a spinning guillotine, and the sight of the Black Pearl coasting along the side of a cavernous ocean trench. An early bank-heist scene is fairly entertaining, even if it seems to be a pre-Industrial Age riff on a similar sequence from “Fast Five.” Norwegian directors Joachim Rønning and Espen Sandberg were able to lend a thrilling verisimilitude to their high-seas adventure, “KonTiki,” but here they’re unable to conjure up the charm and imagination this franchise can provide. “Dead Men” is overloaded with uninspired CGI, most of which follow the unfortunate recent trend of gloomy-looking digital effects — you know you’re in trouble when even a sequence set around a tropical coral reef is rendered in the same dull blue-gray tones as almost every other blockbuster these days. And because Disney technicians have gotten pretty good at it, we have to get a flashback sequence featuring a digitally de-aged Depp. “Dead Men Tell No Tales” ends with a dutiful promise of another installment, and after two hours of somnambulant performances, leaden effects, and slapdash storytelling, it’s hard to tell who seems less excited by that prospect: the audience or the filmmakers. Visit rochestercitynewspaper.com on Friday for additional film coverage, including reviews of “The Wedding Plan” and DC Comics’ “Wonder Woman.”

Fairport, $169,900: Charming Village Colonial. This home boasts; a large front porch, BIG Master Bedroom, deck, patio, an above ground pool, detailed foyer w/incredible wood staircase, etc... Some upgrades include; tear-off roof, maintenance-free exterior with therm windows, electrical panel.

On the first floor, the front door opens to a small hallway, which leads back to the kitchen and to the living room on the left. The staircase, with its original newel post and hardwood floors, is straight ahead. A leaded glass window lights the stairway. Leaded glass French doors separate the hall from the living room, which also has a brick fireplace with wooden mantle and is flanked by two spaces that at one time were bookcases. With a good carpenter, this shelving could be restored.

The formal dining room, with a bank of windows and a leaded glass window above the buffet, leads to the fully updated kitchen. Here you’ll find a tiled floor, new cabinets, new appliances, a tile backsplash, and laminate countertops. The partially finished basement, which has a bonus full bath, can be accessed from the central hallway. Upstairs are three bedrooms, two of which retain their original hardwood floors (the third likely has hardwoods hiding underneath the carpeting). All three have their original, unpainted wood doors with glass knobs and wood moldings. The full bath is spacious with updated fixtures. Access to the unfinished attic is through one of the bedrooms. Outside are a single car garage and a reasonably sized backyard for a city lot. There’s lots of potential here for a patio, gardening, and generally putting your own stamp on the place. There’s room for polishing and improvements on the inside of the home as well as you make it your own but it appears to generally be in good shape, with some nice intact historic features. 129 Resolute St. is listed at $69,900.

Jordan Haskins, 26, was sentenced to probation and sex counseling in May after pleading guilty to eight charges arising from two auto accidents in Saginaw, Michigan. Prosecutors said Haskins described “cranking,” in which he would remove a vehicle’s spark-plug wires to make it “run rough,” which supposedly improves his chances for a self-service happy ending. Haskins’s lawyer added, “(Cranking) is something I don’t think we understand as attorneys.”

Le Plat Sal (The Dirty Plate) restaurant in the Marais district of Paris features specialties actually containing dirt — or as Chef Solange Gregoire calls it, “the mud of the earth that caresses our toes, the sand kissed by the sun, and rocks.” Mused a Food Network host in April, “What’s left? People are already eating snout-to-tail, leaves-to-roots....” Gregoire extolled her four-star dishes, including pastry crust a la Mont Lachat rock and a Boue Ragout stew simmered with silt from the River Seine.
