No more studies are needed
“A Matter of Trust” [CITY’s article on police oversight] states: “This is the first time in the history of the civilian review process that Council has used its subpoena power.” Considering the circumstances, City Council really had no choice. And it is absolutely unnecessary and would be fiscal irresponsible to hire the Center for Governmental Research and pay them thousands of dollars “to study the review process.” The process has literally been studied to death. We know the major problem and issue: “Currently, when a civilian files a complaint about the actions of a Rochester police officer, that complaint is investigated by officers in the Police Standards Section of the Rochester Police Department. The police chief then reviews the complaint and the PSS investigation and decides whether or not to uphold the complaint.” In other words, we know darn well that the police cannot and will not police the police. There is no example, anywhere in the nation, in which the police do a thorough, objectively fair, and unbiased job of investigating and reporting on themselves. The blue-code wall of silence is simply much too old and too strong for this to ever happen. With regard to studies: I am certain that any pertinent information City Council wants or needs is contained in the recent report developed by Enough Is Enough and the Coalition for Police Reform, 2 CITY

and/or other much older reports (some of which date back to at least the 1970’s, if not earlier). Am I the only one who remembers the Crimi Report in 1976, commissioned after a Rochester police officer shot and killed an 18-year-old African-American woman during a family dispute? How about the 2004 Hargrave-Miller Report, prompted by the deaths of an African-American teenager and four African-American men in 2001 and 2002? Former Rochester Mayor Bill Johnson called it “the most comprehensive outside look at the police department since the Crimi Report.” How many more studies and reports do we need? It’s beyond time to act, and there is no doubt that we know what needs to be done. HOWARD EAGLE
Special-ed failures
On the recent report criticizing the Rochester School District’s special-education program:
My child was a special ed student in one of the “better” local suburban school systems. Special ed fails our children because public schools do not have the money for the necessary low student-teacher ratios needed to reach these students. With 20-20 hindsight, I tell special ed parents to find a private school and scholarship money. This could give their children a chance. Our school system could not deal with my child’s issue; we had to go outside the school system for help. Special ed seems to be improving (my child was a student a decade ago), but I still don’t know whether to cry or scream when I think of all the special ed kids I have known who were hurt by their schools. Yes, poverty hurts, but insufficient funding makes special ed a disaster everyplace. Name withheld to protect the student’s privacy.

URBAN JOURNAL | BY MARY ANNA TOWLER
Police and community: the path to real reform Police-community relations in Rochester have been under stress for decades. And that stress probably increased a notch this past weekend, when a Rochester police officer was shot while he was responding to an unrelated 911 call. The shooting is a tragedy, and it underscores the depth of the violence plaguing some neighborhoods in this city. It also underscores the very real risks that Rochester police officers take on our behalf, risks that most of us will never experience at work. In the hours after the shooting, community leaders responded the way they should have, with statements condemning the shooting and urging prayers for Officer Jeremy Nash and his family. I hope, though, that this doesn’t keep those leaders from responding courageously to another challenge: the need to reform our system of policing. Rochester needs to make deep, difficult changes, in the way it staffs and trains its police force, the way its police force operates in the community, and the way it investigates its officers’ actions and follows through on what it finds. In our report last week, “A Matter of Trust,” we began an extensive look at those issues, and we’ll be continuing that effort in the months ahead. Unfortunately, this is not a new issue for this publication; we’ve have been reporting on it throughout our 45-year history. That Rochester has made so little progress in all that time should make us all feel deeply ashamed. City Council has begun what its leaders say will be a review of the current police oversight system: the way complaints about police officers’ actions are investigated, reported, and acted on. There are numerous problems with that system. But based on discussions with several city officials recently, I’m pessimistic. Some Councilmembers, for instance, suggested speeding up investigations into citizen complaints and making the process more “transparent.” Fine. But those are tweaks to the current system, not real reform. Real reform will have to include a truly independent investigation of citizens’ complaints. That won’t guarantee that police-community relations will improve, because – as we noted last week, true community policing will require extensive rethinking of many areas of policing. But independent investigation of complaints is an absolute necessity. None of this will be easy, and many police officers will resist independent
Real reform to Rochester’s police oversight process will have to include a truly independent investigation of citizens’ complaints.” investigation – for understandable reasons. Without it, though, it will be impossible to rebuild trust between police and the community. And rebuilding trust is essential – for police officers’ wellbeing as well as for the community’s.
Corrections, amplifications
Some additional notes on our article, “A Matter of Trust”: We stated that a report by police-reform activists says police “shouldn’t be involved in training members” of a Police Accountability Board. The report does not say that. We also referred to the report as an “April report.” Two reform groups – Enough Is Enough and the Coalition for Police Reform – and the report’s authors, Barbara Lacker-Ware and Theodore Forsyth, held a news conference to publicly release the report on April 11. It had been distributed previously, in February. The report calls for an 11-member, independent, Police Accountability Board, with some members elected by the public and some appointed by City Council and the mayor. The authors say that they have since rejected that idea and that they are “fleshing out a community appointment process.” Our article stated that if the Accountability Board found evidence of police misconduct, it could “recommend” disciplinary action and retraining. That wording could have implied that the board would be simply advisory. The article’s sidebar does note that if the board and the chief disagreed on disciplinary action, the board “would have the final say.” rochestercitynewspaper.com

[ NEWS FROM THE WEEK PAST ]
CGR will study police oversight
City Council contracted with the Center for Governmental Research to conduct a study of the city’s Civilian Review Board, which was created to investigate complaints about misconduct by Rochester police officers. CGR will look at the Board’s policies and procedures and will also review how other cities manage police oversight. Council’s decision follows a highly critical report about police oversight produced for the groups Enough is Enough and the Coalition for Police Reform.
Council approves 2017-2018 budgets City Council unanimously passed Mayor Lovely Warren’s 2017-2018 budget. The budget lowers property taxes and maintains the current level of services the city provides. And in an 8-1 vote, Council approved the Rochester school district’s budget for the coming school year. Councilmember Carolee Conklin, who is not pursuing re-election, voted againt the district’s budget and was sharp in her criticism of its low performance.

Officials talk service sharing
County Executive Cheryl Dinolfo held the first of a series of shared-services meetings with town, village, and school district officials. The 2017-18 state budget requires county and local governments across New York to put together reports exploring opportunities to share or consolidate services. Local officials will continue meeting over the next month.
Sales tax measures left hanging
The State Assembly and Senate failed to pass matching bills to extend sales taxes in New York’s counties. Assembly Democrats tied the extensions to a measure reauthorizing mayoral control in New York City, but Senate Republicans want some different conditions than those laid out in the Assembly legislation. The uncertainty over the sales taxes could complicate county budget preparations, though legislators will likely be called back to act on the sales tax extensions early this summer.

New train station, old problems Rochester’s new train station is expected to be open for business later in the summer. The 12,000 square foot, $15 million facility is nearing completion, and some government officials have touted that it will improve business and tourism. But how the new station will impact ridership over the long term isn’t clear, since Amtrak is facing a number of challenges. Delays are a frequent passenger complaint, for instance. “On-time performance” was a lackluster 73 percent for trains serving Rochester in April 2017, and it was the same for April 2016, says Gary Prophet,

president of the Empire State Passenger Association. The organization works with a wide range of government, business, and transportation organizations to promote passenger train ridership in New York State. The tracks between Niagara Falls and Albany were badly in need of repairs in some areas, says Prophet. Work on the tracks is done primarily during the spring and summer months, and accounts for some of the delays in Upstate New York, he says. “Amtrak service is much more reliable between Albany and New York City,” he says.
Another challenge for Amtrak is the need for more cars and service during the summer months. Ridership out of the Rochester station in 2016 was 123,000, Prophet says, and it’s been up and down for the last seven years. Trains are operating at capacity and weekends are often sold out in advance, he says. The need for better service between Rochester and Albany is a particularly important issue, he says, because there are no direct airline flights that go from Rochester, Buffalo, and Syracuse to Albany. “Telling riders that you’ve sold out of seats is never good,” Prophet says.
Federal programs now threatened by Republicans have funded numerous housing efforts for low-income Rochesterians, not only helping the residents themselves but also improving the quality of affordable housing in city neighborhoods. Among them: Community Development Block Grants.

Trump plan hurts cities’ health, too News from Washington this week is dominated by the Republicans’ healthcare bill and the impact it would have, particularly on poor and low-income Americans. That’s not the only threat, however. Still to come: the federal budget. Many of the cuts proposed by President Donald Trump are aimed straight at the least affluent Americans and their communities. The real budget decisions are made by the members of Congress, not the president. They have until September to act, and they haven’t released their plans yet. But while they’re not likely to give the president everything he wants, many Republicans dislike the same programs the Trump administration does. A major concern locally: Trump’s proposal to eliminate the Community Development Block Grant Program, which for decades has helped low- and moderateincome people pay for repairs to their homes, helped small neighborhood businesses improve, and helped cities like Rochester demolish vacant buildings. Two Rochester suburbs, Irondequoit and Greece, have received CDBG funding, too. Irondequoit has been receiving about $820,000 in CDBG money each year for the past few years, says Town Supervisor David Seeley. Most of that has been used for
home-improvement grants, Seeley says, but CDBG money has also helped the town pay for road and sidewalk repairs in low-income neighborhoods, and it has been invested in the town’s senior center, food cupboard, and a senior transportation program. Rochester officials cite numerous examples of CDBG aid over the past two years. The money has helped finance: • Emergency repairs and replacement of furnaces and hot water tanks for 143 homeowners; • Lead-based paint remediation for 47 homeowners and landlords; • General home repairs for 30 homeowners and major rehabilitation for 45 homeowners and landlords; • Demolition of 203 properties; • Assistance for 320 homeowners so they could avoid foreclosures due to mortgage default, predatory loans, or tax default; • Installation of grab bars, hand rails, and other aids, helping 150 senior homeowners remain in their homes; • Legal help, counseling, and other aid to help 400 households avoid eviction from their apartments; • Legal help with such things as wills and estates, elder abuse problems, fraud, and access to medical services for 35 senior households;

POLITICS | BY JEREMY MOULE
Seeking to change the climate on carbon Climate activists have been bruised and bloodied over the past few months. And yet there’s a group in Rochester that still has hope that Congress will act to cut US carbon emissions. The local chapter of Citizens’ Climate Lobby has watched its numbers swell since President Donald Trump’s election. It now gets around 40 people at its meetings, says chapter co-leader Sarah Mittiga. “We’ve been exploding,” Mittiga says. “We used to have 10 people at a meeting; 15 people would be like ‘Oh! Big turnout!’” And while the members have watched the White House assault on climate regulations, programs, and agreements – some long-standing, and some new – they’ve seen something encouraging. Citizens’ Climate Lobby has two priorities: growing the size of the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus in the House and getting Congress to pass a carbon tax known as “carbon fee and dividend.” And both are gaining support among Congressional Democrats and Republicans. Under Citizens’ Climate Lobby’s plan, the federal government would slap a fee on any fossil fuel, whether it’s extracted domestically or imported. The money from those fees would be refunded entirely to American households, with each getting an equal share of the proceeds. The carbon fee and dividend concept differs substantially from past cap and trade proposals, which were complex and would have directed revenues from emissions fees back into federal programs. In Congress, the year-old Climate Solutions Caucus has grown to almost 50 members, with an even mix of Democrats and Republicans. And members of both parties are warming to carbon fee and dividend in a way that hasn’t happened with past carbon pricing proposals. The Citizens’ Climate Lobby, which started in 2007, has earned a reputation for pragmatism and civility, which is helping it win over members of Congress. And right now, the local chapter really wants to win over Democratic Representative Louise Slaughter, who has so far resisted joining the Climate Solutions Caucus and backing carbon fee and dividend. Climate Lobby members have enlisted Paetec founder and renewableenergy entrepreneur Arunas Chesonis in their cause. He recently wrote Slaughter 6 CITY

encouraging her to support carbon fee and dividend, which he frames as an economically competitive approach to cutting carbon emissions. The group also convinced Rochester City Council to pass a resolution supporting carbon fee and dividend. Slaughter has been through a few
legislative battles over climate and energy policy, and she knows just how contentious the subjects can be. She’s wary of both the carbon fee and dividend concept and the Climate Solutions Caucus. Slaughter’s a member of the allDemocratic Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition, which supported the 2009 American Clean Energy and Security Act. That legislation was a comprehensive bill that boosted federal investment in renewable energy and laid out a cap and trade program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and put a price on carbon. The bill passed the House with no Republican support and never received a vote in the Senate. Slaughter still stands by the proposal. Revenue raised through any
carbon pricing plan should be used progressively, she says, and should, in particular, be invested in renewables. “I’m going to stick with what I’ve got,” she said last week. “I’ll be happy to look at the new bill if they file it, but I’m not holding my breath for them to file one.” She’s also skeptical that any carbon tax proposal could succeed under the Trump White House and the current Republican controlled Congress. But some GOP Congress members are open to the idea of carbon fee and dividend. Republican Tom Reed, whose district covers much of the Southern Tier and stretches into Ontario County, says Republicans saw cap and trade as a new tax accompanied by bureaucratic bloat. “The dividend model is more attractive to an individual like me, because that makes sure that the money goes right back to the people as opposed to just feeding the beast of the federal spending,” says Reed, who acknowledges the scientific consensus that human activity is causing climate change. And, he says, details need to be “ferreted out” on carbon fee and dividend before he can “wholeheartedly support it.”
Past carbon tax proposals have also been dogged by concerns that they might lead to higher energy prices, which could strain low- and moderate-income households. But a think tank’s analysis of Citizen Climate Lobby’s proposal says that 70 percent of households would break even if energy prices go up, says Rob Levine, a member of the Rochester Citizens’ Climate Lobby chapter. “If you really want this to work, citizens have to be OK,” Levine says. “You can’t raise prices on a vital product, being energy, and expect them to be OK with it if you don’t help offset the costs.” The Climate Solutions Caucus was formed
in 2016 by a pair of Florida House members, Republican Carlos Curbelo and Democrat Ted Deutch, who’d become increasingly concerned about the problems climate change was already causing in their state. They saw an opportunity to bring members of their respective parties together to work on meaningful climate proposals. Citizens’ Climate Lobby sees the same potential in the caucus and views it as a logical conduit for carbon fee
and dividend legislation. That’s why members of the local chapter are urging Slaughter to join it. Some of the Democrats in the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition have already signed on, including Earl Blumenauer, an Oregon representative who started the Congressional Bike Caucus, and Jerry McNerney, a California representative who sponsored a carbon fee and dividend bill in 2015. A few New York Republicans, including Reed, are also members. “I do recognize climate change,” he says, “and I do recognize the need for prioritizing solutions to address climate change, as we’re seeing the effects of it today. And the caucus, to me, was a natural fit to get like-minded members who want to spend a little extra time focusing on those solutions.” Reed’s interest is largely in tax and trade policies. He is sponsor of legislation that would extend investment tax credits for renewable and alternative energy technologies; Slaughter is one of the bill’s many cosponsors. Reed says he wants to work on other policies that would advance clean energy technologies and encourage energy-efficient buildings, in turn reducing domestic reliance on – and market demand for – fossil fuels. But he’s unlikely to join climate activism groups in their calls for an immediate halt in new fossil fuels development and infrastructure. He says a longer transition period will be necessary, since the US economy is based on fossil fuels. “I think you still need to have reliable fossil fuel sources,” he says, “but we can do that at the same time, in my opinion, we’re incentivizing and promoting and supporting innovation as we go forward.” The caucus, in other words, isn’t a panacea. But it may be, for now, the best chance for getting some serious climate legislation through Congress. And it may also be the most promising route for a long sought-after price on carbon emissions. “There’s a lot of good plans out there, but if they don’t pass you’re tilting at windmills,” Levine says.

The Rochester Public Market on North Union Street is one of the region’s liveliest, most entertaining community gathering places, attracting tens of thousands of people every week, May through October. Operated at this site by the City of Rochester since 1905, the market’s open Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays year round. And this summer, it celebrates completion of an $8.5 million renovation, including a new enclosed structure for vendors. Ribbon cutting for the renovation will be at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 12. The nine-acre complex serves as a marketplace offering everything from fresh produce, poultry, and seafood to specialty foods, kitchen supplies, and wine. It’s an event space for concerts, food tastings, movies, plant sales, garage sales, and Food Truck Rodeos. The heartbeat of the market, though, are the men, women, and children who work the region’s fields, orchards, and vineyards, rise early on market days, and bring the results of that labor to provide food for Rochester homes and businesses. 8 CITY

URBAN ACTION This week’s calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)
Film urges action on climate
Metro Justice will show the documentary film “This Changes Everything” on Friday, June 29. The film, by director Avi Lewis, looks at the issue of climate change through
sketches of its profound impact on seven different communities on different continents. The program is the first event in Metro Justice’s five-week Building Resistance Workshop Series, all of which will be held at 1115 East Main Street, Door 7, Suite 207A, at 5:30 p.m.
Discussing African-American history The Moving Beyond Racism Book Group will
meet on Monday, July 3, to discuss W.E.B. Du Bois’ “The Souls of Black Folk.” The book, written in 1903, is considered by many to be a classic in American literature and is among the most important examinations of African-American history and sociology. Du Bois’ essays, some scholars say, are particularly relevant today. The discussion will be held at Barnes and Noble, Pittsford Plaza, at 7 p.m. Reading the book prior to the event isn’t required.

Dining & Nightlife
Hogan's Hideaway has recently reopened under new ownership and with some changes, like a new menu that features (left) a Portabella Steak. The restaurant now has two bars: a main bar downstairs and a smaller bar (right) in the back of the restaurant. PHOTOS BY KEVIN FULLER
A hideaway no longer [ CHOW HOUND ] BY KATIE LIBBY
There is a new entrance to Hogan’s Hideway (197 Park Avenue) closer to the thoroughfare on Park Avenue. It’s just one of many changes that new owners Max Gordon, Maurice Kusminsky, and Drew Nye have made to once again make Hogan’s a destination on Park. The owners will hold a grand re-opening on Thursday, June 29, to debut the renovations to both the space and the menu. Downstairs, the old booths have been removed, the carpet pulled up to expose hardwood floors, and a brand new, full-service bar has been built. Seating has been expanded with the addition of banquet seating on one side of the dining room. Chef Mike Love is in charge of the kitchen and the menu’s latest additions. “The lunch menu is very characteristic of the old Hogan’s,” Gordon says. “We love the old Hogan’s and did not want to change the classics, like the Hogastrone.” Some minor updates were done to the soups and salads available on the lunch menu. The real change is in the updated dinner program that follows a farm-totable concept. Proteins are sourced within 50 miles of Rochester, and Love utilizes Headwater Food Hub and Regional Access in addition to trips to the Rochester Public Market for produce and other goods. The Smoked Tomato Bolognese ($20) combines a smoked tomato sauce with bacon, capicola, Italian sausage, and sautéed
the end of the meal, we want to make sure that everything is as well thought out as possible,” Gordon says. Hogan’s serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, including $3 mimosas and $6 Bloody Marys. A late-night menu is available Thursday through Saturday until midnight as well as a late-night happy hour that features $4 well drinks and $1 off all draft beers and wines from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. Patio seating is available and there is parking in the back of the restaurant in addition to street parking. Hogan’s Hideaway is located at 197 Park Jocelyn Burton behind the bar at Hogan's Hideaway.
peppers and onions, and topped with a blend of Italian cheeses. The specials menu will feature a daily market steak, with different cuts each day. Not to be left out of the party, vegetarians can order the Portabella Steak ($18), portabella mushroom caps that have been marinated, grilled, and topped with red wine steak sauce and garlic and served with fingerling potatoes and carrot crisps. Hogan’s Hideaway now has two bars: the main bar downstairs has eight draft lines, most of them sourced from local breweries, and the smaller bar in the back of the restaurant will feature a selection of higher end whiskey and Scotch. Three sommeliers are currently on staff to provide wine pairing recommendations. “From the minute people walk in the door till

THURSDAY, JUNE 29 CMAC, 3355 MARVIN SANDS DRIVE, CANANDAIGUA 7 P.M. | $25-$55 | CMACEVENTS.COM; IRONANDWINE.COM [ FOLK ROCK ] Iron & Wine’s combination of soft vocal
delivery and heavenly songwriting has a way of slipping into the background — its sounds emanate from the speaker but feel more comfortable blending into the environment. Singersongwriter Samuel Beam is the maestro of this alternative folk outfit that began with lo-fi recordings but has now evolved to include richer instrumental textures. Beam is prolific; he has released five full-length albums (a new one, “Beast Epic,” is due out this year) as Iron & Wine and numerous other discs in collaboration with other performers like Calexico and Jesca Hoop.

Benton recently launched his own label and has a new studio album, “Mink Coat Killa,” out this week. Fans can look forward to a more refined production value, but still expect the “style, skill, and not givin’ a fuck” feel on the new album and on stage.

Anonymous Willpower “Trailer Romance” Self-released anonymouswillpower.bandcamp.com
Concert by the Shore WEDNESDAY, JULY 5 ONTARIO BEACH PARK, 50 BEACH AVENUE 7:30 P.M. | FREE | 454-2100; RPO.ORG [ CLASSICAL/POPS ] Summer is here and the regular
orchestral concert season is over. But you can still catch the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and its music director, Ward Stare, at a free concert at Ontario Beach next Wednesday. The populist program features plenty of Independence Day odes and a heavy dose of John Williams with film music from “E.T.” and the Harry Potter franchise. Other featured composers include Bizet, Dvořák, and Tchaikovsky, with works from the upcoming 2017-18 season. This concert is chock full of crowdpleasers, striking a balance between the patriotic and the whimsical. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
War FRIDAY, JUNE 30 DEL LAGO RESORT AND CASINO, 1133 STATE ROUTE 414, WATERLOO 8 P.M. | $25-$50 | DELLAGORESORT.COM; WAR.COM [ ROCK ] Through its humble beginnings in the late-
1960’s playing in topless joints to being discovered by legendary producer Jerry Goldstein and having The Animals’ Eric Burdon join up, War’s music and message has remained relevant all the way to today. Look and listen for timeless hits like “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” and the summertime favorite featuring harmonica master Lee Oskar’s trademark honk, “Lowrider.” — BY FRANK DE BLASE
Taking a page from the Southern Culture on the Skids book of white trash, Anonymous Willpower returns with its most cohesive album to date, “Trailer Romance.” This is an album that covers multiple genres musically and lyrically and has the band working the clever and blue sides of the street — the tracks are all wellwritten and dynamically arranged. Anonymous Willpower has even gone and flirted with some country flavorings here and there, along with the band’s usual theatrical punch on just about any style it tackles. For instance, the tune “Cops, Girls & Guns” has a choral breakdown that is more than a little reminiscent of “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Vocalist Suzi Willpower is in fine form when singing with appropriate restraint, but the lady still unleashes like a howitzer in lipstick and heels whenever the opportunity presents itself. Pianist Don Anonymous leads the band and keeps one toe at all times in New Orleans boogie-woogie, which mixes well with the country and R&B detours that pop up. Anonymous Willpower is still a barnburner, just more focused this time around. You’re gonna like it. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

THU., JUNE 29
As Small Signals, Rochester musician Stephen Roessner (part of Pleistocene, Revengineers) has stumbled upon the intersection between profoundly sad and profoundly hysterical. By taking entries from Craiglist’s Missed Connections and putting them to synth-pop sugar and lonely guitar, he creates little vignettes of, at times, dark desperation and desire. Just listen to some of the titles: “We fucked at Cobbs Hill Park, would like to see you again – m4w,” “Your eyes focusing on the huge bulge in my jeans – m4w (your place),” “I am seeking a man – w4m (Pelican’s Nest),” and so on. These posts for the most part involve men (though there are a few women writers) — bathed in frustration with a creep factor cranked up to 10, fawning over a waitress or unsuspecting women in the supermarket or at the gym. Who told them this work? Roessner’s arrangements of these lyrical catastrophes are short-lived — about two minutes apiece for each of “Missed Connection’s” 17 cuts — and the music breathes a little life and humor into the words with its lo-fi leanings. This is an absolutely brilliant idea. Happy, sad, and disturbing. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

2017 XEROX ROCHESTER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL
Live!
The rain didn’t keep the crowds away from downtown Rochester this weekend, and it couldn’t dampen a strong start to the 2017 Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival. As CITY writer Frank De Blase put it Friday night, “The energy in the thick, arid air was surprisingly electric; a vibe this strong at Jazz Fests past usually didn’t get this feverish so quickly.” The first half of the festival has flown by, but there’s still a ton of music happening through Saturday, July 1. In this Jazz Festival Live! section, we recap the festival’s first four days (deadlines would not allow us to include Tuesday) and preview what’s to come. De Blase interviews Hugues Payen, violinist for Friday headliner Caravan Palace, about the marriage of swing music and house beats, and our critics give their picks for essential shows in the festival’s second half. Be sure to check online at rochestercitynewspaper.com for our comprehensive Jazz Festival guide and daily-updated blogs with our critics’ thoughts on each night’s acts. And as always, we welcome your input. What did you see during the first half of the Jazz Festival?

TV production company who wanted to release an old, silent, erotic movie from the 30’s with modern music. We tried to mix these two genres, swing music and electronic music. We felt a lot of enthusiasm while people heard it. Caravan Palace was born.
Does anyone remember “Hooked on Classics,” a schmaltzy record put out in 1981 by K-Tel that featured a cross section of classical masterpieces set to a driving disco beat? French band Caravan Palace takes a somewhat similar house beat and screws it onto the end of classic swing music. The difference here is that it works splendidly The swing component is more relatable to the beat than the aforementioned unholy matrimony of classical and disco. The premise is the same, but Caravan Palace comes on with a certain synergy, and it isn’t nearly as cheesy. The beat is sweet and so is the swing. An irresistible endeavor. CITY fired off some questions to violinist Hugues Payen over in France. He fired back. An edited transcript follows.
Do you think this brings more fans to swing music?

22 CITY 2017 XEROX ROCHESTER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL LIVE!
I’m not sure, but I guess. People who didn’t know much of swing but who liked our music got into it; mostly young people. Do the purists turn up their noses?
At the beginning. We were a bit afraid about it. The second concert we did was in a famous festival in France called Django Reinhardt Festival where every jazz purist goes. It was a true baptism of fire for us, but everything went fine. Purist or not, everybody danced like crazy. In creating your music, what comes first: the electro beat or the swing?
There’s no recipe for making tracks. Everything can start with a melody, a bass line, a sample, a beat … no rules.
I think “Brotherswing” really describes the mood of Caravan Palace, especially the live version. There’s a lot of swing in it with every instrument playing quite fast, a synth bassline on a powerful House beat, and a lovely voice melody.
How did you discover this style of music?
We’ve always been huge fans of guitar player Django Reinhardt. He was our door to the whole swing scene. This adventure started with our deep love for Django, that’s why you can feel that Gypsy flavor a lot on our first record. Then we fell in love with great swing composers, like Duke Ellington, Lionel Hampton, Fletcher Henderson, and other great big band leaders from the 30’s and 40’s. Was anyone doing this mix of genres before you?
When we started this band, it was not a genre yet, but there were previous successful attempts at mixing swing and electronic music, like Mr. Scruff with the track “Get a Move On,” and a project called G-Swing, which released an album one year before our first record. Who have you influenced?
It seems like quite a lot of bands followed us in this genre, and the electro-swing scene is growing almost everywhere in the world. We are quite proud of it actually. What makes a show great for you?
This is probably common to every band, but I’d say seeing people smile, dance, scream, and ask for more after the final track.

Thursday, June 29 4 By Monk By 4 There are many brilliant composers in the history of jazz, including Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Fats Waller, and Charles Mingus, but for me none is greater than Thelonious Monk. With compositions ranging from the simply beautiful (“Ruby, My Dear”) to the wonderfully angular (“Evidence”) and the gorgeously ethereal (“’Round Midnight”), he created a singular body of distinctive work. Interpreting Monk’s genius will be four of the top pianists in jazz today: Kenny Barron, Benny Green, Cyrus Chestnut, and George Cables.

Capable of everything from operatic high notes to Björk-like histrionics, Nah uses her hands and arms in an evocative upper-body ballet that illustrates everything she sings.

Friday, June 30 Binker and Moses This band puts an unapologetically modern twist to classic jazz, which makes them purists in attitude — and thus in the resulting sound, iconoclasts. English duo Binker Golding and Moses Boyd are anything but modern jazz, although they work hard to forge new strains as they break up and mix up the infinite space between drums and sax.

Joss Stone and St. Paul and the Broken Bones Well, the 16th edition of the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival took off its clothes and did a cannonball. The energy in the thick, arid air was surprisingly electric; a vibe this strong at Jazz Fests past usually didn’t get this feverish so quickly. It must have been the battle for souls raging on two different stages last night. I’m convinced now more than ever that soul wants your soul. Soul music isn’t for the betterment of your soul or to lift your spirits high; it wants you to feel it deep in the fissures of your fevered brain all the way down to your naughty parts. Me? Hell, I’m down with it and will go along willingly. I’m the devil in Miss Jones after all. And I witnessed the devil in Miss Stone with 1800 other lost souls in Kodak Hall to see Joss Stone. Stone was a lot better than I’d heard in the past. Her voice tends to get a tad brassy when going for those notes way up high in the penthouse suite, but how many singers do you know can hum — just hum — a melody? Well, Stone did it early in her set, and she totally unglued me. The barefoot chanteuse had ‘em all on their feet by the fourth song. The Burt Bacharach send up was excellent. While Stone was stealin’ our souls gently, St. Paul and The Broken Bones was doing it with heretical splendor and volume on the free East and Chestnut stage. Front man Paul Janeway intoned the opening lines in a chasuble before slinging it aside to reveal a red suit. The band was like a blast furnace with the horns punching and kicking dangerously to counter the nonstop wail of Janeway’s howling pipes. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

English phenomenon Jacob Collier may be the most immensely talented musician I have ever seen live. As hyperbolic as that may sound, the proof was in the first of his two performances at Anthology on Friday. The first thing I noticed about the live performance of the London-based multiinstrumentalist was his irrepressible energy. The 22-year-old literally jumped from keyboards to upright bass to drum set and back again, ingeniously utilizing looping techniques: the least gimmicky, most legitimate one-man band there could be. Collier opened the set with two exquisite covers — Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry ‘bout a Thing” and “Close To You” by Burt Bacharach — establishing his soul and funk credentials early on. He then settled into one of

his more popular original tunes, “Hideaway,” which stripped away his typically virtuosic, if grandiose, instrumentation in favor of subtle fingerpicking on an acoustic guitar and the kind of sexy vocal acrobatics one heard from the late, legendary Jeff Buckley. Collier’s reedy yet sensual baritone frequently leapt into a gorgeous, crystalline falsetto. If you didn’t get a chance to hear Jacob Collier, you should stop whatever it is you’re doing right now and listen to his music. Seriously. I wouldn’t at all be surprised if his performance turns out to be the highlight of the entire festival. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
with time signatures in complex ways. No matter what the tune was, Childs’s solos were brilliant, with shimmering right-hand runs punctuated by chordal bursts. He would play in time, syncopate to the time, and venture outside the time, but made perfect sense every time. Another great featured soloist, Stephens tended to play in John Coltrane-style sheets of sound. Williams contributed a beautiful bass solo on “Peace,” the one non-original tune and the only ballad of the set. Hoenig excelled on every short solo he took trading eights. — BY RON NETSKY
Saturday, June 25 Billy Childs
Other than the meteorological mind games the clouds played with our heads, it turned out to be a beautiful day as we traipsed the jazz fandango well into the night. Ron Netsky knows what I like and immediately insisted I check out Grace, Sophia, and Hulda, The Quebe Sisters. These three fiddle-wielding young women from Dallas sang like absolute angels — or more accurately, The Andrews Sisters … or maybe The Del Rubio Triplets. Their harmonies had that cozy yesteryear feel of those wartime-era three-part harmonies, harvested, picked, and re-planted in Western swing dirt. The songs were plaintive and refined, allowing the sisters’ vocals to haunt and wreak heartache, lyrically and melodically.
Billy Childs opened his Kilbourn Hall show in a gallop and hardly let up throughout the hourlong set. He played the piano with the sort of wild abandon that can only come after decades of painstaking practice and extensive experience. His quartet — with Dayna Stephens on saxophone; Ben Williams, bass; and Ari Hoenig, drums — operated like a well-oiled machine, perfectly in sync with Childs. Childs played mostly original compositions and each one was totally distinct from the others. While the opener, “Backwards Bop,” was a hard-bop burner, his other tunes experimented
The Quebe Sisters
BRILLIANT SHADES for every color you desire. They pulled out a handsome take of Hank Williams’ “Cold, Cold Heart,” Johnny Cash’s “Wayfaring Stranger,” and a killer stab with the sweet sawing of their bows on Les Paul and Mary Ford’s “How High the Moon.” So I’ve decided I’m going to have The Quebe Sisters play my funeral. (I had initially had Popeye booked for the ceremony, where he and Olive would do a little interpretive dance to Santo & Johnny’s “Sleepwalk.”) The sisters were enchanting and even a bit shy with funny anecdotes about the songs or the latest haps in their young career, like recording with Willie Nelson or hangin’ with Asleep at the Wheel. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Eivør When I took a seat at the Lutheran Church, I wondered if I would prefer Eivør in the context of Yggdrasil more than on her own. That notion was quickly dispelled. Eivør has an absolutely remarkable voice, and I couldn’t get enough of it. There was a difference; in general, the tunes were catchier and more pop-oriented than those of Yggdrasil. But they were wonderful songs, a strange combination of her Faroe Islands folk roots and the music of the global village she now lives in. Even the instrumentation was a cross between the primitive (a Faroe Island hand drum) and the futuristic (synthesizers and petals). Her two bandmates were excellent, one providing bass, keys, effects, and guitar, the other on drums and absolutely perfect harmonies. The audience in the church hung on every word of her ethereal singing. There seems to be some Kate Bush influence in her style, but there is more than enough originality to make it her own. The set was dominated by original songs, many in Faroese, but she also sang a lovely version of Leonard Cohen’s “Famous Blue Raincoat.” Eivør’s stories — one about stalking Leonard Cohen, finding his house, and knocking on his door (he wasn’t home) — were always endearing. The local crowd appreciated her account of visiting the House of Guitars on her first visit here 12 years ago and buying her first electric guitar, and how she ended up there again today. “I knew it would be dangerous,” she said as she held up a second electric guitar that she proceeded to play for the first time. — BY RON NETSKY

drummer Jonathan Pinson and bassist Dave Robaire — drove the music forward with subtle confidence. Impassioned and uninhibited solos from alto saxophonist Josh Johnson and trombonist Eric Miller gave things a freewheeling, untethered air of anticipation. Miller’s sound, in particular, was rare. I’ve never heard quite as supple and mellifluous a sound from a trombone before. Filling out the horn section at the top was trumpeter and Rochester native Mike Cottone, whose poise and panache will undoubtedly serve him well during what is sure to be a long and fruitful career. The highlight of the set was during the performance of a new song called “Zirma,” composed by Johnson. Pinson laid down an extensive drum solo that was downright electrifying. If there’s such a thing as legato phrasing on a drum kit, Pinson’s playing had it. In a group stacked with dynamic musicians, including pianist Miro Sprague, he stood out. On this evening, Holophonor was a band intrinsically connected to itself, exhibiting a calm charisma. The musical rapport between players felt natural and effortless. Watch out for these guys. A new record, Holophonor’s second, is on the way later this summer. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER
Jochen Rueckert Quartet For more than two decades, I have greatly respected Mark Turner’s work on the saxophone. I have also admired the work of Mike Moreno on guitar every time I’ve heard him. And more recently, I’ve had a very positive response to Orlando LeFleming’s work as a bassist. These three musicians were all side-men in the Jochen Rueckert Quartet at the Lutheran Church. And I should add that Rueckert is an excellent drummer. continues on page 26

SHOW REVIEWS So why was I so disappointed in the group’s performance Sunday night? Maybe it was because there was so little energy on the stage. Turner, Moreno, and LeFleming seemed like hired guns, not fully involved in the music. And the music itself seemed lackluster. Call me old-fashioned, but I like the kind of jazz tunes that begin with a head; a tune you can have in the back of your mind that peeks out from time to time through the solos. Rueckert’s tunes seemed abstract from start to finish. Some of them were almost morose. It seemed like a waste of these great players (including Rueckert). — BY RON NETSKY
Jack Broadbent You know, the other day, I read somewhere that the sales of the electric guitar have dropped significantly. I got together a few musician pals to speculate why: ch-ch-changes in musical tastes, rock radio with shallow rotation of the same 30 songs (with 20 of them by Led Zeppelin), idiots trying and failing to play like Bill Kirchen, and so on. But I know, and a couple hundred folks that greased their way into Montage Music Hall last night also know, there is one man that is killing the electric guitar, and that man is English slide guitarist Jack Broadbent. One listen to him and you get a case of the “holy shits” and promptly give up the guitar. It’s like skinny dipping with John Holmes. Jack Broadbent … goddamn … I just knew I was gonna love this guy live after I’d first caught him on YouTube. He played the slide guitar on his lap with a flask (I initially thought it was a stapler) in his left hand for a slide. This added a beefier, meaner tone, not to mention his attack, which when he tore into it roared like King Kong with a hangnail. Broadbent played with his father on bass and his sweet mother making sure the beer was cold. The music was rooted in blues but left some room for jazz and a few covers from Little Feat, Steely Dan, and Ray Charles. This cat’s show was explosive. — BY FRANK DE BLASE

Monday, June 26 Miguel Zenon Miguel Zenon let the music do the talking at Kilbourn Hall Monday night as his excellent quartet burned through selections from his latest album, “Tipico.” Zenon was front and center with his saxophone, but the band also boasts one of today’s greatest pianists, Luis Perdomo, and a superb rhythm section with Hans Glawischnig on bass and Henry Cole on drums. For much of the set, Zenon played furiously, like a man who had an emotionally charged story to tell but can only speak saxophone. When Perdomo soloed he was equally strong, at one point doubling his melodies with both hands playing impossibly complicated riffs together perfectly. In his music, Zenon explores his Puerto Rican roots, but the band is international, with Perdomo bringing his Venezuelan background to the table. (Glawischnig is Austrian and Cole is also Puerto Rican.) The most overtly Latin song they played was the album’s title tune, “Tipico.” Zenon and Perdomo both let loose with gorgeously evocative solos. Toward the end, Cole took off on a fantastic drum solo in which he somehow transformed his standard drum set into timbales by accenting the beat in just the right way. At the very end, Zenon finally came to the mic and spoke, but only to thank us for coming. — BY RON NETSKY
Marquis Hill Blacktet The Marquis Hill Blacktet got my motor running right tonight with an outasight dose of the bop during the matinee set at Max of Eastman Place. His trumpet zipped and ping-ponged off the walls into a shimmery cascade that was straight from the fridge, dad. Hill traded off liberally to his alto sax man
while we all stood drop-jawed in awe of the monster behind the drums. He doubled his attack frequently on the up-beat where it sounded like he was playing more drums than were actually before him. What really sent me was the righteous vibraphone player who danced and pranced the mallets over his instrument. One minute he was punctuating Hill’s flourishes and flurries, the next he was letting fly with little bursts of rhythm only to bring it down to that of a mysterious chime of a music box. The funny thing is the quieter he played, the more you could feel the sustain of the notes reverberating in your bones. It made me pleasantly dizzy. — BY FRANK DE BLASE
Lera Lynn Nashville-based singer-songwriter Lera Lynn has a voice to get lost in. With appealing earnestness, it somehow sounds like moonlight — bright yet ever so dusky. Flanked by guitarists at Anthology, Lynn played a set of NPR-friendly folk and country songs that managed to be both hopeful and forlorn, with just the right amount of twang. Some of the concert’s best moments were the darkest — including the haunting “My Least Favorite Life,” from the soundtrack for HBO’s hit series “True Detective.” Elsewhere, an undeniably catchy and forbidding guitar riff dominated the ominous “What You Done,” which sounded like it was straight out of a Western. That said, my favorite song of the evening happened to be the last one, when Lynn turned Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” into a minor-key ballad, reframing the lyrics as a cautionary tale. The devil-maycare attitude of the original, with its jaunty, up-tempo character, was gone. The newer, more tragic version in its place sounded fresh, and somehow more appropriately paired with the words. — BY DANIEL J. KUSHNER

Anti-folk storyteller Edward James Hamell is full of dark, comedic anecdotes exploring ideas of discontent with politics, social issues, family, and death. His music is fast, witty, and meant to invoke thoughts of rebellion. Equipped with his vintage 1937 Gibson guitar and side-splitting, obscene rants, Hamell is a force to be reckoned with — he has been described as a “One-man Tarantino flick: loud, vicious, luridly hilarious, gleefully and deeply offensive.” Hamell has also been favored by other straight-forward musicians, such as Henry Rollins, Kimya Dawson and Ani DiFranco.

Rose Liu, an RIT student and photographer and video artist, in early May issued a challenge to local art institutions when she posted fliers on the front doors of museums and galleries that asked, “Do you feature as many female artists as you do male?” She also posted pictures of the fliers on social media and tagged the institutions. One of those art houses was the Memorial Art Gallery, which was in the middle of installing a womencentric exhibit in its Lockhart Gallery. MAG took the opportunity to engage with Liu and invited her to preview the exhibit, “The Power of the Female Gaze,” and discuss other upcoming exhibitions featuring women artists. 28 CITY JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2017
Jessica Marten, MAG’s Curator in Charge and Curator of American Art, says that Liu’s activist action “was just one of those serendipitous things as far as we were concerned, because it was a subject we were wanting to talk about.” Liu says her fliers were part of her final project for an art exhibition critique class; she was required to make a site-specific “soft disruption” installation, and was inspired by the calls to action in Nathanial Russell’s Fake Flyer project and the work of The Guerrilla Girls. “I made this flier in order to call attention to the disproportionate gender representation that persists in the art world,” Liu says. “When someone steps into an art museum, it is still more likely to see a female figure portrayed in an artwork than to see one created by a female artist.” The gender of an artist shouldn’t be the determining factor to evaluate whether an artwork is good or not, Liu says, “but I wanted to position this problematic reality at the forefront of the minds of art personnel when planning exhibitions.”
Liu’s posters also said, “please keep this question in mind when planning exhibitions,” and featured one of her own photographs of a female artist friend. Marten likes that Liu posted her fliers in a way that invited dialogue. In turn, Liu was invited to preview “The Power of the Female Gaze,” and she and Marten also discussed the Josephine Tota exhibition that is slated for 2018 along with other upcoming major exhibitions featuring the work of women artists. “The Power of the Female Gaze” had been scheduled for 2017 a couple of years ago as part of a city-wide celebration of the centennial of women getting the right to vote in New York State. Marten worked with MAG’s Creative Workshop faculty member, Ortensia de Loren, to select work for the show from the permanent collection that was created by 22 women artists and features female subjects, and many include important social messages in a wide range of media. We may only be able to recite a few famous female names from art history, but this show serves to bring more of their names and work into the light. In addition to contemporary pieces, it includes centuries-old work, such as the gilded, stunning 1781 print, “Truth Attacking Envy,” by German artist Maria Katharina Prestel, who was a rare female printmaker in her era. Work by household names, such as Mary Cassatt and Georgia O’Keeffe, share walls with lesser-known women artists, and women of color are included both as artists and heroic subjects of many works. Elizabeth Catlett’s two linocut prints expressively pay tribute to Phillis Wheatley and Harriet Tubman. Lesley Dill’s mixed media “Homage to F.K. #2” recreates one of Frida Kahlo’s self-portraits in fiber and includes bits of verse by Emily Dickinson. To underscore the mission of visibility, most of the curatorial labels include a portrait of the artist, and Marten was careful to tell each woman’s story in terms of their own achievements as much as possible, even if their husbands or fathers were more famous. “I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t talking about them through their relationship to men,” she says. “A huge part of museum work is to educate,” Liu says. “It is important for curators to always acknowledge the disproportionate gender representation that persists in the art world, the difficulty in balancing the ratio of male to female artists, and that including women should not be for the sake of representation.” MAG’s permanent collection includes works by 464 female artists and 2,358 male artists, and there are also a number of works where the gender of the creator is unknown. “It feels weird to me that it’s a hot topic to have shows about women,” Marten says. “Why are we still having this conversation?”

ART | CHARLES ATLAS: “HERE SHE IS...V1” June may be Pride Month (with Rochester events coming up in July), but LGBTQ representation in art is important year-round. “Here she is...v1” is a video art installation created by cinematographer Charles Atlas which showcases iconic drag queen Lady Bunny. The piece will be screened continuously at the Memorial Art Gallery beginning Friday, June 30, as a part of the MAG’s “Media Arts Watch” initiative, curated by moving-image specialist John G. Hanhardt. Lady Bunny is known for her gigantic blonde wig and raunchy song parodies, but she is also outspoken regarding politics, militarism, climate change, LGBTQ rights, and other hot-button issues. A wall-sized production, “Here she is...v1” demonstrates that Lady Bunny is a force to be reckoned with, incorporating a contemplative monologue intertwined with her risqué stage performance. The one-woman-show ends in a lip-synced performance of one of her songs, “You Were the One.” Charles Atlas is a distinguished video artist who has worked with the likes of performance artist Marina Abramović and singer-composer ANOHNI, to drop a few names.

COMEDY | DOUG STANHOPE A year and a half since his last Rochester show, darkly cynical comic Doug Stanhope will take the stage this week at the recently opened Comedy @ the Carlson. Not for the sensitive at heart, the shameless comedian stuns audiences with his controversial antics, ranging from suicide jokes to laughing about his girlfriend being in a coma. He won the 1995 San Francisco International Comedy Competition and is a two-time winner of Time Out New York’s “Best Comedy Performance of the Year.” He’s also an actor, best known for hosting “The Man Show” on Comedy Central and playing Eddie Mack on Louis C.K.’s “Louie.” The show takes place Sunday, July 2. Comedy @ the Carlson is located at 50 Carlson Road. Doors open at 6 p.m.; show starts at 7:30. General tickets are $35. For tickets or more information, call 426-6339 or carlsoncomedy.com.

Dead behind the eyes “The Entertainer” PRESENTED BY SCREEN PLAYS REVIEWED SATURDAY, JUNE 24 CONTINUES FRIDAY, JUNE 30, THROUGH SUNDAY, JULY 2 FIELDING STAGE AT GEVA THEATRE CENTER, 75 WOODBURY BOULEVARD FRIDAY AT 7 P.M.; SATURDAY, 2 P.M.

Three and a half hours is a long time, depending on the context. It’s longer than any of “The Lord of the Rings” films, a baseball game, and most middle school relationships. It’s especially long for a play. Screen Plays, a local community theater group that produces “Hollywood’s Golden Age on Stage,” is currently performing John Osborne’s 1957 play, “The Entertainer,” at Geva’s Fielding Stage. Clocking in with three acts and two intermissions, it’s an ambitious undertaking for a nonprofessional organization. “The Entertainer” often falls into the category of “kitchen sink realism,” a British art and cultural trend in the 1950’s and 60’s that featured “angry young men” — usually 30 CITY JUNE 28 - JULY 4, 2017
working class — who were disillusioned with society. Think family drama meets metaphorical activism. “The Entertainer” was written more so for an angry, middle-aged man, and it featured a 50-something-yearold Laurence Olivier in the leading role both onstage and in a 1960 film adaptation. The story follows Archie Rice (portrayed here by William F. Alden), a music hall entertainer in the English countryside whose career is fading during the Suez Crisis. (Both topics probably hold more meaning for a British crowd, but audience members in this show will appreciate Director Jean Gordon Ryon’s thorough notes in the program.) Rice is a womanizer in his second marriage, with three grown children and a retired showman father who lives with him. The plot also focuses on Archie’s daughter from a first marriage, Jean Rice (Marcy J. Savastano), who is visiting from London after a disagreement with her fiancé. The cast is filled with familiar faces; Screen Plays tends to work with many of the same actors over and over. On one hand, it’s a common theme in community theater — but it does lend a danger of the same “characters” popping up in every show. “The Entertainer” isn’t a musical, but there is a lot of music, and Musical
Director Andrew Links actually penned some of the songs himself. Alden does most of the singing, with a few solos by Greg Ludek (who plays Billy Rice) and Daniel Soto (who plays Archie’s son, Frankie). If the music had been written for true musical performers, this may have worked. But as it stands, both the addition of musical numbers and music hall performers and showgirls seemed unnecessary and really did not complement the strengths of the cast. Accents, likewise, were all over the place geographically and should have just been dropped. Throughout the show, there were two things on stage that elicited strong emotional reactions: an audio speaker that made almost constant buzzing and beeping sounds each time it was used (rage); and the ever-present glasses full of gin (envy). There were some moments where the cast’s talents glimmered through; several scenes and bits of dialogue felt authentic and engaging. (Savastano, especially, is usually a pleasure to watch onstage.) But overall, the show was reminiscent of a line delivered by Archie in reference to his own psyche: “...dead behind the eyes.” In addition, the barrage of racist and sexist slurs and slang throughout the script felt unintelligent and outdated, rather than contextual. In regard to costumes and set pieces, the time period was consistently hard to gauge. It felt more like the early 20th century in both design and tone, rather than mid-century. There were some odd choices as well, such as what appeared to be a spattered paint drop cloth haphazardly hung as a backdrop. In many ways, the aesthetic decisions felt underdeveloped. Screen Plays, which marks five years in 2017, is still a fairly young ensemble. As with any community theater in the area, sometimes the group is limited to the abilities of those who audition. In that case, though, it may be better to choose a simpler show or a shorter run in a smaller house. Ryon, who is Geva’s New Plays Coordinator by day, has directed for the group many times in the past, but this show isn’t her strongest work. On Geva’s website, the play is listed at three hours, including two intermissions, it’s really more like three and a half (not to mention Saturday’s performance didn’t start until 7:10 p.m.). Unless you have a really spectacular cast, a stunning script, or celebrity status, you don’t have a warrant to keep people inside the theater for three and a half hours during Rochester’s brief summer. Not to mention, the Xerox Rochester International Jazz Festival is happening concurrent with the run of this show — which means there’s world-class entertainment just down the street.

Despite being the right age, I was never into Transformers as a kid, so as an adult, I haven’t had much of an interest in the film series, and thus haven’t seen any of them. I can’t speak to whether “Transformers: The Last Knight,” the fifth installment of the massively lucrative global franchise, is any better or worse than the previous movies. But I do know that the guiding idea behind the series appears to be: “What if we took a beloved property about how neat it would be to make friends with a race of alien robots who can turn into cars you can ride in, and made it absolutely no fun whatsoever?” Mark Wahlberg returns to the series as the impeccably named Cade Yeager, inventor and
Sitting through “The Last Knight” is like listening to a 5-year-old on a sugar high describe a dream they had … while they pummel you with the entire contents of their toy box. The plot is so indecipherable, I can only describe it in the style of Bill Hader’s club kid SNL character, Stefon. This movie has everything: three-headed robot dragons; Mark Wahlberg quoting Arthur C. Clarke; malevolent assassin pocket watches; Nazi flashbacks; secret messages hidden in children’s pop-up books; drunk Merlin; interstellar space goddesses; Stonehenge; Sir Anthony Hopkins as the keeper of the secret history of Transformers; and a psychopathic metal butler named Cogman. I know listing everything this way makes watching the movie sound like a blast, but in practice, even half-heartedly keeping track of it all is exhausting. At some point during the endless climactic battle, I realized that a young boy was singing the ABCs at the top of his “Optimus Prime smash!” in “Transformers: The Last Knight.” PHOTO COURTESY PARAMOUNT PICTURES

unofficial protector of the Autobots. In order to save humanity, Cade teams up with Izabella (Isabela Moner), a spunky orphan he insists on calling “bro,” and Dr. Vivian Wembley (Laura Haddock), an Oxford professor-slashsupermodel, to use a medieval talisman to find an ancient staff that will help prevent the Transformers’ home planet of Cybertron from crashing into Earth. Or something. Also there’s a connection to Arthurian legend.
lungs in the middle of the theater. Normally that might have proven annoying, but here it provided a much-needed tether, pulling me back to reality when time and space had started to lose all meaning. So I thank you, child. I definitely saved myself a lot of headache by not having any previous point of reference for the nonsensical story; whenever something didn’t make sense, I chalked it up to being something established in a previous film (although based on conversations after the fact, it seems that’s hardly ever the case). There’s no need for a movie about giant robots smashing things to be this complicated. But there’s so much weirdness crammed into the margins (for example: a throwaway line tells us the Transformers aided Harriet Tubman with the Underground Railroad), that it becomes kind of compelling. There’s something to be said for Michael Bay’s determination to deliver pure kinetic chaos and spectacle straight into his audience’s eyes, and if you surrender to its gonzo energy, it’s hard not to get caught up in it, at least a little. Just remember to bring some aspirin.
“Okja” (NR), DIRECTED BY BONG JOON-HO STREAMING ON NETFLIX BEGINNING JUNE 28
Part Spielbergian adventure, part environmentalist fable, and part barbed anti-corporate satire, “Okja” — the latest from South Korean director Bong Joon-Ho (“Snowpiercer”) — is the story

of a young girl named Mija (a wonderful An Seo Hyun) and her best friend, a massive, genetically engineered pig named Okja. Okja is the result of the Mirando Corporation’s attempt to solve world hunger by developing a cheap, easily sustainable, meat-based superfood — for a tidy profit, of course. When Okja gets called back to America to fulfill her intended purpose, Mija must evade CEO Lucy Mirando (Tilda Swinton), who’s eager to make Okja the main attraction at the company’s gala presentation, and works with a militant animal rights activist group run by Paul Dano to bring her beloved pig home safely. Jake Gyllenhaal is also on hand, swinging for the fences with his performance as a zoologist television personality who’s the bitter current face of the Mirando company’s PR campaign. Joon-Ho delights in juggling wild tonal shifts, and “Okja” is no different, veering from slapstick to vicious black comedy to drama, often within the same scene. While the film plays as a riff on “E.T.” for a time, violence and language make it not nearly as kid-friendly as it first appears, and the slaughterhouse-set climax has significantly more in common with “Schindler’s List.” Somehow it all works: it’s not subtle, and it’s often messy, but always wildly entertaining as it seeks to leave its audience with some tough to swallow food for thought.

SPECIAL EVENT | “WOMEN WHO ROCK”
/ T H E AT E R
In light of the current political rhetoric that is putting women’s rights at jeopardy, Bewitched Burlesque Sideshow co-owner Evie Delilah is helping to organize “Women Who Rock,” a tribute to all the women who have succeeded in the rock ‘n’ roll industry over the years. Hula-hoopers, burlesque and belly dancers, and other performers will honor women such as Stevie Nicks, Tina Turner, and PJ Harvey, who are described by Delilah as strong and revolutionary women who stepped into a male-dominated genre of music. The country is starting to move backward instead of forward, Delilah says, and the system isn’t working anymore — it’s hurting instead of helping. This show is meant to combat the political rhetoric by embracing and empowering women through a creative, tangible expression of feminism. The show will be hosted by Wednesday Westwood, and include two local musicians, Shannon Scally and Dylaina Young. “Women Who Rock” will be held at Photo City Improv (543 Atlantic Avenue) on Friday, June 30. Doors at 9:30 p.m., show at 10:30 p.m. $7 cover charge, 21 and older. For more information, call 451-0047 or visit facebook.com/bewitchedburlesquesideshow. — BY TORI MARTINEZ

The main entrance on the side of the house opens into a cozy den/family with wainscoting and a pellet stove. Through pocket doors, towards the front of the house, is a large, flexible space that is open to the main stairway and the front parlor/living room. This middle space is open and airy, with a carved marble fireplace, and is currently used as the dining room. Back through the den is a custom designed kitchen that makes efficient use of a modest amount of space. Cabinets and counter space are plentiful and a center island holds the dishwasher, sink and even more counter space for dining or meal prep. A rear stair off the kitchen leads upstairs to the back bedrooms. A separate breakfast nook provides a panoramic view of the unusually deep and lush backyard. A rear door leads to a tiered deck, which steps down to the meandering lawn and gardens. With ten varieties of hostas, a raspberry patch, and blooming plant life all spring and summer long, this yard is an urban oasis.
Back inside, the main staircase leads past re-purposed stained glass windows, straight into the surprise of the home—a completely redesigned master suite with cathedral ceilings, laundry, built-in storage, closets, and a master bath. This unusual setup takes up the front half of the house. The rear hallway retains its original wood flooring and provides access to two bedrooms, a second full bath, and a potential office space. The narrow but charming servant’s stair leads back down to the kitchen. The home is located in the Pearl-Meigs-Monroe neighborhood, less than a block off Monroe Avenue, where you’ll find all sorts of dining options and a bustling nightlife. Goodman St., with easy access to I-490, Swillburg, and the South Wedge, is just two blocks away. 42 Woodlawn St. is a great option for the homeowner looking for a more modern aesthetic who still appreciates historic character. The home has been well maintained with many updates. The location is great for those looking to live a walkable, bikeable urban lifestyle with easy access to late night eats like pizza and tater tots. The property is listed at $139,900 and has 2,189 square feet.

[ LAST WEEK’S SOLUTION ON PAGE 35 ] [ NEWS OF THE WEIRD ] BY CHUCK SHEPHERD
Update
Three weeks ago, News of the Weird touted the “genderless,” extraterrestrial-appearing Hollywood makeup artist known as Vinny Ohh, but then Marcela Iglesias announced (following a leaked TV clip) that she had formed an agency for would-be celebrities who had radically transformed their bodies (and that Vinny is now a client). Iglesias’ Plastics of Hollywood has human “Ken” dolls (Rodrigo Alves and Justin Jedlica), the Argentine “elf” Luis Padron, a Jessica Rabbit look-alike (Pixee Fox), and seven others who, Iglesias figures, have collectively spent almost $3 million on surgery and procedures (some of which are ongoing). (Padron, 25, seems the most ambitious, having endured, among other procedures,
painful, “medically unapproved” treatments to change his eye color.)
Recurring Themes
Richard Patterson, 65, is the most recent defendant to choose, as a trial strategy, to show the jury his penis. A Broward County, Florida, court was trying him in the choking death of his girlfriend. (Patterson called the death accidental, as it occurred during oral sex, and there was conflicting medical opinion on whether that could have proved fatal.) Patterson’s lawyer said his standby position was to show a mold of the penis, but insisted that a live demonstration would be more effective. (Update: The judge disallowed the showing, but in May the jury found Patterson not guilty anyway.) rochestercitynewspaper.com CITY 43
