SeaWorld to end nightly fireworks Theme park to debut new shows, rides By DAVE SCHWAB SeaWorld San Diego is transforming its decadesold business model. Recently scrapping its heretofore trademark Shamu shows, the marine mammal theme park is also silencing, for now, its nightly summer fireworks displays. “This summer we are debuting our new summer nighttime extravaganza called Electric Ocean,” said SeaWorld spokesman David Koontz. “At dusk, we will transform the park into an underwater world of colorful vibrancy, Kirby Chambliss (USA) flies through the course on Sunday. Chambliss finished fourth. Reigning world champion Matthias Dolderer (below) finished third after clipping a pylon during his first run on Sunday. PHOTOS BY THOMAS MELVILLE

Red Bull Air Race over San Diego Bay thrills huge crowds One upset followed another at the second stop of the 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Championship in San Diego on Sunday. Yoshihide (Yoshi) Muroya of Japan was the only pilot with the consistency to reach the top of the podium, dazzling a crowd of more than 40,000 fans lining Embarcadero Marina Park South across the race weekend, with a time of 58.529. Peter Podlunšek from Slovenia stunned the field in capturing second place in his first-ever

Final 4, two seconds behind Muroya at 1:00.454. Reigning world champion Matthias Dolderer was third after a pylon hit, and American Kirby Chambliss finished fourth.

Earning 15 World Championship points with the victory, Muroya jumped up 10 places in the overall standings, to third behind Martin Šonka of the Czech Republic (21 points) and

Dolderer (16). The result was especially meaningful because the next stop of the season is in Muroya’s home skies of Chiba, Japan – where he earned his first Red Bull Air Race win in 2016. “I’m quite happy. We had a very hard time at the season opener in Abu Dhabi, and we’ve been working really hard for months,” said Muroya, who had an over-G penalty at the 2017 kickoff. In the day’s earlier action, 2016 Challenger Cup winner Florian Bergér of Germany earned his first Challenger Class win of the season.

Szenja the polar bear dies at SeaWorld SeaWorld San Diego is saddened by the passing of Szenja, a 21-yearold female polar bear on April 18. Szenja had been part of the SeaWorld family for nearly 20 years. Born at the Wuppertal Zoo in Germany in October 1995, Szenja came to San Diego when the theme park opened the Wild Arctic exhibit in 1997. A necropsy will be performed on Szenja to help determine the cause of death. It will be several weeks before all the results of the necropsy are received. Over the last week, Szenja’s caregivers and veterinary staff noticed a loss of appetite and energy, and had been monitoring her condition, however, her passing was unexpected. “Szenja was a beloved member of our animal family, so this is a very difficult day for all of us,” said Al Garver, SeaWorld San Diego’s vice president of zoological operations.

play, and live. And in accordance with that, there are more than 100 cleanup locations across San Diego County – including Pacific Beach, Mission Bay, and La Jolla – for people to make an impact. According to I Love A Clean San Diego, 80 percent of marine debris originates from inland sources. The litter around you right now will likely end up end up at the beach, in the Pacific Ocean, or floating through various lakes and creeks. Thus, there are much more inland cleaning sites to tackle the problem at the source; 77 as opposed to the 31 along the

coast. However, that is not to say coastal cleanup sites are of less importance. Last year, a record-breaking 6,400 people came out to the Creek to Bay Cleanup, removing an impressive 170,000 pounds of litter, trash, and debris; this Earth Day is expected to draw similar or greater numbers. Volunteers of all ages are welcome and there are events to liven up the cleanup. Some of the more common trash items include cigarette butts, plastics bags, and plastic bottles.

trash emerges from the heap. Bizarre items such as a bathroom sink, a cash register, and fire hoses have been discovered over the years. Cleaning up litter is not the only thing on the agenda, though. Volunteers can participate in various beautification projects such as graffiti removal, native planting, and mural painting. Similar to previous Creek to Bay Cleanups, there will be a Bling Your Bucket Contest. Show off your creative side by bringing a bucket you have decorated to the event and you may win some prizes. Not only is this fun for the volunteers, but using buckets in lieu of trash bags also helps to reduce waste at cleanup events. Other reusables one can consider bringing are work or gardening gloves to reduce plastic glove use and a canteen to reduce water bottle waste. Also, this year will feature the Creek to Bay Photo Contest, sponsored by Sony Electronics. Submit your best photo with this year’s theme “Love your neighborhood this Earth Day” and you have a chance to win a Sony Cyber-Shot Camera.

PB Graffiti Clean Up set for April 29 The next Pacific Beach Graffiti Clean Up, a joint effort by Pacific Beach Town Council and Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church, will take place Saturday, April 29 from 9 a.m. to noon, with volunteers gathering at 1675 Garnet Ave. at the church to pick up supplies. “We’ve literally got buckets of graffiti removal supplies,” said Andy Bryl, vice president of PB Town Council. “All we need are volunteers to help clean up the graffiti along the streets and alleys of PB.”

Residents brainstorm about homeless issues at Pacific Beach Library park By DAVE SCHWAB A recent informal meeting by neighbors on the public lawn outside Pacific Beach Taylor Branch Library, which included a homeless man and woman, to discuss “taking the park back” by the community generated lots of ideas. Increasingly, the public park with its expansive green lawn and sandy tot lot has become more attractive to area homeless, and less appealing to families with children. Locals hope to change that. “We had about 20 neighbors meet at the library to discuss how we can better use the grassy area that is currently under utilized,” said Janice Bellinghiere, who attended the April 7 meeting. Bellinghiere noted, “Someone mentioned offering yoga classes ... Someone else suggested a movie night with the inflatable large screen used in the past. One person suggested, after the children's reading time in the library, they bring the kids out to run around and play on the grass. One lady wants to have a neighborhood picnic on the grass.” Another attendee even suggested having a local church service out on the lawn. “Basically we all want to start enjoy-

ing the park more,” added Bellinghiere who pointed out, “People are reluctant to use it (park) when it is occupied by people using drugs, and needles have been found in the grass. So we would like to encourage neighbors to bring their children and their dogs, maybe a blanket or lawn chairs, and just enjoy being outside in our beautiful PB neighborhood.” Beach & Bay Press asked the City of San Diego and the San Diego Public Library to comment on PB library's park and the notion of PB reclaiming it and making it more user-friendly. “The space known as the 'Taylor Greene' was donated to the city as a passive park,” said the city's Communications Department, noting, “This space is maintained by the Library Department, which provides funding for the maintenance and landscaping. As a passive park — much like a front lawn or outdoor patio — the space is not generally intended to be used for community-wide events or large gath-

erings that would interfere with public access to the park.” City libraries want patrons to feel safe visiting the Pacific Beach/Taylor Library. “This year, the library invested in new outdoor lighting and upgrades to the security cameras on the outside of the building,” said the city's Communications Department. “During open hours, a security guard patrols the library and the outdoor space. Library staff will immediately report any illegal activity to police.” Concerning the public “taking the park back,” the city commented, “We understand the concerns of some community members, and we are interested in ideas that are both inclusive and welcoming. The library is a public entity and is open to everyone. The outdoor space is also open to everyone and we welcome the public to use the space on a first-come, firstserve basis.” Two homeless people asked to join the group of neighbors during the park pow wow and were welcomed. They expressed shame concerning the actions of some homeless who use drugs, trash the park area and engage in illegal activities. READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

Dining Campland on the Bay upgrades restaurant Revitalized café, renamed Campland Raised Cantina Campland on the Bay, which for decades has provided waterfront camping experiences on the shores of Mission Bay for locals and visitors, has appointed Clare McKevitt as its new restaurant manager, announced Michael Gelfand, president. The fullservice restaurant has been operating as a casual barbecue and ice cream parlor. In her new position, McKevitt is Clare McKevitt revamping the menu, along with operational systems, and restaurant design. She already has introduced fresh, healthy additions to the menu and is planning additional food and beverage offerings for special events. The café will be renamed when the new design is unveiled this year. In the meantime, campers can dine at the café Monday through Thursday from 3 to 9 p.m., Fridays from 9 a.m. to 10:30 p.m., Saturdays 8

a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Sundays 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. In addition to extensive new menu additions, McKevitt will be redesigning the décor of the indoor café and the covered patio, and introducing themed food and drinks, including a private-label IPA and an ale, both currently in formulation and taste-testing. She reported that new, largescreen televisions are already attracting bigger crowds for college and pro football games with new table service on the covered café patio. Campland has further plans to expand food and drink service to a beachside location, where campers congregate for water sports. “Clare brings new ideas, new energy and a healthy vibe to our food and beverage operations,” said Gelfand. “She is expanding our operation to take refreshments to the Campland beach, where campers relax, swim, paddleboard, kayak, play beach volleyball, as well as fish and bird watch, so it’s always got a lot of activity.” Gelfand said a café outpost planned for the Campland beach will offer shaved iced, frozen drinks, snacks and treats in a festive setting on the beach near the marina. “It’ll

provide quick refreshment or a nice spot to sit and watch all the beachfront activity. It will be located courtside for beach volleyball games while also overlooking our large, grassy Central Park,” he said. McKevitt, originally from Dublin, Ireland, earned a bachelor’s degree in business with an emphasis in restaurant, hospitality and sports industries from the Dublin Institute of Technology. For her practical experience internship, she interned at Campland on the Bay in the summer of 2005. She wrote her thesis on American recreational activities as she experienced them while assisting the campground’s recreation director. Following graduation, McKevitt returned to San Diego for an 18month, post-graduate internship at Pacific Terrace Hotel in Pacific Beach, where she gained experience in all aspects of hotel management and operations and where she planned and oversaw the design and installation of a hotel gym. In 2007, she helped open and run Gallagher’s, an Irish pub in Ocean Beach, which she managed for seven years.

Near Extinct Cult Wine Emerges in Ocean Beach OB Winery Celebrates Release of Charbono While on a trip sourcing grapes in El Dorado County, Ocean Beach wine maker Keith Rolle met a farmer who had two tons of Charbono for sale. “I couldn’t believe my luck in stumbling across this gem. I signed a contract immediately,” exclaimed Rolle. When the grapes were ripe Rolle brought them to his winery on Newport Avenue and turned them into some truly outstanding wine. Once a darling of the Napa Valley, Charbono was the go-to wine at the venerable Inglenook from the 1940s through the 1960s. Inglenook produced Charbono from the late 1800s until the estate was sold in 1998 to Francis Ford Coppola. Today, only 17 wineries, all in California, do small productions of Charbono. Gianni Buonomo Vintners in Ocean Beach is one of them. Due to its scarcity, you’ll be hard pressed to find it wine shops. Being such an excellent, food-friendly wine, restauranteurs have no problem getting adventurous diners to give it a try. “We’re excited to showcase Gianni Buonomo Charbono at our annual Heart of Spring Dinner.

Bucs baseball, softball gearing up for playoffs By DAVE THOMAS With another school year winding down, both the baseball and softball teams at Mission Bay High are in the hunt for playoff berths as part of their respective seasons. On the baseball diamond, head coach Dennis Pugh’s team came into the week with an overall record of 8-9. According to Pugh, the Bucs have played the toughest part of

their schedule. Now in league action, Mission Bay entered this week at 3-1. Pugh noted top players to date have been Joey Witkowski, Aiden Young, Parker St. Germain, and Jayden Correa “Our goal is to be above a .500 record for the first time since 2008 and make the CIF playoffs,” Pugh remarked.

CONGRATULATIONS! Ask The Trust & Estate Attorneys SM

Question:

My family member is having trouble handling their financial (or health) affairs. What can be done to assist and protect them?

Volleyball

The first thing that you should do is to look for any estate planning documents that they may have. Do they have a living trust or power of attorney for financial affairs or healthcare? If so, they have named a trustee or agent to assist them with their affairs. If there are no documents, the person should see an attorney and have them drafted right away. If the person has the Virginia Weber Laskowitz & capacity to understand what they own and who will take care of them, and can understand the benefits, risks and Shannon T. O’Neill effects of signing such documents, then they have the capacity to create and sign a trust and power of attorney documents. An estate planning attorney can evaluate whether they have the capacity to sign such documents. It is best to get these documents done as soon as possible, before their condition worsens. If they do not have the capacity to sign such documents, then the court will need to be involved. A conservatorship can be done for developmentally disabled adults and other adults that can no longer take care of themselves. Getting a conservatorship over someone can be a long, complicated and expensive process. The court wants to ensure that a conservatorship is really necessary because the conservatee (the person who needs assistance caring for themselves) will lose some of their rights to the conservator (the person who is appointed by the court to manage the conservatees estate or personal affairs). Having estate planning documents such as a trust, financial power of attorney and advance healthcare directive in place can help avoid having to get a conservatorship and can keep you out of court.

With their eyes on the prize, the Mission Bay High track and boys volleyball teams are chasing CIF championship dreams as the regular season moves through April. On the track front, head coach Willie Matson’s Bucs are slated to compete for the boys league crown this Thursday (April 20) in a meet with Coronado and Madison (at Madison High). According to Matson, Xavier Brandon and Naom Bass are having outstanding years in jumps, while Tyrese Reed and Marcus Nickerson have been great in sprints. “Our distance team is much improved, our 4x100 relay team is top-notch, the boys team is very solid, and the girls team is very competitive,” Matson commented. Matson also noted the efforts to date of Alyssa Hernandez in jumps, Alex Briski in middle distances, and Janiece Waters in hurdles.

In boys volleyball action, head coach Nikki Caufield’s team continues to improve in just its second season since restarting the program. In recent action, the Bucs fell in a close match to Coronado, and then lost five days later in four games to Lincoln. Senior Jesus Zarate leads the team in kills and aces, while senior setter

MBHS senior Alex Briski, junior Xavier Brandon, and senior Kaydence Jackson (below) competed at the Jim Cerveny Invitational.

Jacob Cayatano leads in assists. "Our last two matches came down to literally six or seven plays (over three to four games) that made the difference between winning and losing,” Caufield noted. “If our passing and serving is a little shaky, we tend to struggle. However, when our passing and serving are going well, we can easily take over games. “We are still in the playoff hunt and hope to clean up play a little leading into the playoffs. If we make it into the playoffs and keep our game together, we could make a serious run this year in Division IV."

Business Village Hat Shop opens new location in PB By JONATHAN LO If you like to shop around Seaport Village, you may have stumbled upon an intriguing store called the Village Hat Shop. Established in 1980, Village Hat Shop had a humble beginning when founders Fred and Tina Belinsky set up shop in the then-developing downtown area. When they started out, the Belinskys did not have much knowledge on hats or which hats to sell. However, they tracked the Urban Cowboy movie trend and reached out to hat sellers in LA for advice. Since their opening, San Diegans embraced Village Hat Shop and Seaport Village flourished into a hub of squares rich with old Mexican and old San Diegan vibes. Village Hat Shop did not just stay in Seaport Village, though. Now, Village Hat Shop has three locations in San Diego – including Pacific Beach – and another in Long Beach. Moreover, it has garnered a wide online customer base. In 1997, Fred and Tina Belinsky took a risk; they chose to expand into online sales, which was still in its infancy, and now villagehatshop.com has hundreds of hats in its digital catalog. Recently, Tina and her son Zach Belinsky have opened a new Village Hat Shop in PB, which sits snugly on the corner of Cass Street and Garnet Avenue.

When asked about her favorite feature of hats, Tina Belinsky replied, “How much history they have, what meaning they have, and the purpose they serve. We’re not just hat sellers, we’re passionate about hats. They can change your personality, they can provide warmth, they can create an entire character.” True to her words, if you visit villagehatshop.com, there are multiple sections of the website devoted to information about hats; hat slang, hat terminology, hat history, hat anatomy, and much more. “This is and always has been a local, family-owned business.” said Zach Belinsky of his proudest accomplishment with Village Hat Shop. “It is set up to serve the community and the sales come as a

result, as opposed to the other way around. The idea is to have knowledgeable staff, services such as steaming and stretching your hat, a wide array of choices, to have value to the community.” The reason why Village Hat Shop chose to expand to Pacific Beach was explained by Zach Belinsky. Pacific Beach will always be a place for both families and tourists because there is a great community here.” READ MORE ONLINE AT sdnews.com

He added that the league race looks to be between his Bucs and Clairemont High.

Softball On the softball diamond, Mission Bay entered action this week with a mark of 8-7-2 (5-0 in league play) for head coach Vince

Ichihara. The Bucs have beaten the likes of Division III teams Helix and Serra, respectively. Mission Bay also knocked off previously unbeaten and top-ranked Coronado 10-4. Mission Bay has a team batting average of .339 with Cassidy West (.547) and Maya Cota (.418) leading the pack, respectively. Ichihara remarked that Chey Chavez (.390), Kiki Valverde-Flo-

res (.367), Serena Castro (.340) and Cat Griffiths (.303) have all contributed to the offensive attack this season. On the mound, West is second in total strikeouts in San Diego County with 101 on the season, having faced 117 less batters than the leader at 109. “We started a little slow going 0-4, barely losing games to some good teams, but have since been 8-3-2,” Ichihara remarked.

One of the ties came against third-ranked Division II foe Mount Carmel. The other one was against Division II’s Mira Mesa. “We look to get better each week and learn to take care of the small things within the game,” Ichihara added. “The girls are working hard and it is showing. I'm excited for the rest of the season and watching this team grow together,”Ichihara said.

Yachting Cup sails in May San Diego Yacht Club’s signature spring event, the Yachting Cup regatta, returns on May 5-7 for the 45th year. More than 80 entries are expected for this year’s regatta from numerous yacht clubs around Southern California as well as international yacht clubs.

Cafe Milano-a taste of Northern Italy in La Jolla LA JOLLA MAILBOX TURNS 30! La Jolla Mailbox Rentals turned 30 last month. Owner Anita Wood attributes her success to the specialness of the community and its residents. “It’s such a great place to come to work every day,” says Wood. “Work doesn’t seem like work here—and I’m always hearing great stories from my customers.” Anita’s store at 5666 La Jolla Boulevard is flanked by restaurants, clothing boutiques, coffeehouses, juice bars, exercise studios, and other specialty stores. “I’ve always loved the friendly atmosphere of this unique business district,” Anita says. Wood bought the business on February 21, 1987. “I knew I wanted to work for myself, so when the opportunity came along, I jumped on it. My only regret was not doing

it sooner.” The services offered by the previous owner were stamps (no postage metering), UPS, mailbox rentals, and “word processing.” Anita expanded her offerings over the years to include shipping of all sorts, scanning, printing, copying, and a notary public. La Jolla Mailbox Rentals is the oldest business on the 5600 block. The future of the store? “I look forward to serving this wonderful neighborhood for many more years,” Anita says with a smile.

Owner/chef Pasquale Cianni brought northern Italian cuisine to La Jolla 16 years ago and has been successfully pleasing both local residents and out-of-towners — even out-of-the-country guests — with his homemade pappardelle pasta, veal ossobuco, lobster ravioli, chicken marsala, veal scaloppini and many other authentic Italian dishes. This is just a small sampling of their extensive menu. The kitchen at Cafe Milano uses only fresh, local and seasonal ingredients in its dishes and the full bar has a large range of Italian and Californian wines to choose from. The bread and balsamic dipping sauce is so good you need to be sure to save room for the delicious

entrees to come. And to finish off your dining experience, the tiramisu is simply scrumptious - one of a large variety of dessert selections.

will take place in our Cirque Stadium on Mission Bay. Complementing Cirque Electrique will be another new nighttime show featuring overhead laser lights and an interactive RFID (radio frequency identification) experience, acrobats and live musicians and an illuminated parade.” Koontz added Seaworld's “Putting our fireworks on hiatus, other than on the summertime threeday holiday weekends, and for a handful of other special events. This new nighttime spectacular will have no impact on general aviation in that area, nor will it impact air traffic departing and arriving at Lindbergh Field.” The cessation of SeaWorld's summertime pyrotechnics was hailed by long-time opponents as a major step forward. Martha Sullivan, spokesperson for SeaWorld fireworks opponents, who launched a successful online petition drive garnering more than 11,000 signatures against summertime displays, labelled SeaWorld's announcement shelving them as a victory. “It's an evolution that we've been encouraging them to do,” Sullivan said. ”They're using new technologies and adjusting their business model to the current conditions of their customer base.” Sullivan added the marine park is “realizing they need to be good neighbors.” Asked why fireworks became an issue, Sullivan replied, “I think it was just people being really fed up with it.” SeaWorld fireworks detractors claim research shows “noise pollution from nightly fireworks causes harm to humans and other animals. Effects of noise pollution to humans include (damage to the) physiological and psychological health of human beings: hypertension, annoyance, high stress levels, aggression, hearing loss, tinnitus, sleep disturbance, etc.” Meanwhile, SeaWorld is transitioning from theatrical orca shows to a more educational presentation reflecting natural behaviors of the whales. The final "One Ocean Shamu" show was on Jan. 8. The first of these live documentary-style presentations, called Orca Encounter, will debut at SeaWorld San Diego this summer with temporary seating around the orca underwater viewing area pool. Patrons will learn how killer whales behave in the wild, how they move, hunt and navigate, what they eat and even how they communicate. Orca Encounter will also look at broader themes such as research, rescue, conservation, habitats and distribution, husbandry and care, and social structures. “This will inspire as well as educate guests about the majesty of these complex animals and reinforce the company’s commitment to provide educational experiences with the park’s resident orcas,” Koontz said. Other game-changing developments at SeaWorld San Diego include development of the Electric Eel, a 150-foot high ride roller coaster debuting summer 2018, and Submarine Quest, a submarine-inspired attraction. Both attractions are coming to SeaWorld as part of the park's new Ocean Explorer area. Participants will experience digital technology and can interact with the ride to "save" ocean creatures. Through Ocean Explorer, debuting later this year, guests, through an interactive mini-sub, can get up close to some of the ocean's most fascinating creatures, then take a spin on three new family friendly rides. With three new attractions, this is SeaWorld's biggest roll-out in 53 years. For more information, visit seaworldparks.com.

THURSDAY · APRIL 20, 2017 BEACH & BAY PRESS

Mission Bay’s Mambo Orchestra to perform special show April 27 By BART MENDOZA

Scientists, wildlife groups and fishermen discuss local Marine Protected Areas Stakeholders heard what's going on with baseline studies of existing fish and other marine species in Marine Protected Areas along the San Diego coast including La Jolla and Pacific Beach last month. The public meeting at Marina Village Conference Center was held by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Ocean Protection Council and Ocean Science Trust. It drew scientists, fishermen and other consumptive ocean users, as well as grad students eager to hear about progress being made with MPAs. “We're here to provide you the key findings of the baseline monitoring work being done on our South Coast MPA region,” said Becky Ota of California Department of Fish and Wildlife. “We're here to provide this information as a spring board into what needs to happen for further monitoring of MPAs as a whole.” Marine ecosystems change over time, and baseline monitoring to determine existing conditions of ocean species is a critical first step in documenting the status quo of San Diego ocean conditions. Data gathered during South Coast MPA baseline monitoring will guide future ocean management practices regionally. Baseline monitoring analysis will also improve understanding of fish, lobster and other key marine species, while tracking their numbers, size and movements. La Jolla has two adjoining MPAs at the South La Jolla State Marine Conservation Area and South La Jolla State Reserve, which together cover 7.51 square miles, stretching from Palomar Avenue to Missouri Street in Pacific Beach. They are two of 36 new Marine Protected Areas adopted by the California Department of Fish and Game By DAVE SCHWAB

Commission as part of the Marine Life Protection Act. Additionally, the historic Marine Protected Areas at La Jolla Shores, stretching to the Scripps Pier, was also retained. Scripps Institution of Oceanography marine ecologist Ed Parnell and diver Danielle Muller of Southern California Coastal Ocean Observing System, gave slide presentations. The goal of MPA monitoring, noted Muller, is for biologists to know “how many plants and animals there are, and where they're at.” She added ocean conditions – winds, waves and currents – as well as topographical features on ocean bottoms, help guide researchers' studies. She added the location and movements of many ocean species are “driven by the temperature and salinity of the water.” In his talk, Parnell detailed his studies on the local spiny lobster, a species important to the local commercial fishing industry, located in and around La Jolla MPAs. “We wanted to study the lobster populations, comparing their numbers in protected MPA areas versus unprotected areas outside MPAs,” said Parnell noting lobsters were caught, tagged, released and recaptured in metal commercial traps. Parnell said studies thus far have shown that lobsters tend to be larger, and grow faster, as you head north up the coast from San Diego.

Just back from a successful tour of Japan, the students of Mission Bay High School hit the ground running with a special show at the school on April 27. Organized by MBHS music director JP Balmat, recently named District High School Teacher of the Year, proceeds from the show go to help keep these award-winning music programs going. There will be performances from the MBHS Mambo Orchestra as well as the Mesa College Jazz Ensemble. It all adds up to a night that will include both Latin and big band sounds, while showcasing emerging talent. MBHS Mambo Orchestra: Thursday, April 27 at Mission Bay High School, 2475 Grand Ave. 7 p.m. All ages. www.missionbaymusic.com.

with their audience, such as this wonderfully intimate nightspot. Jason Hanna: Fridays at the Tangier Bar in the Bahia Resort, 998 West Mission Bay Drive. 9:30 p.m. 21 and up. No cover.

If there’s an unsung hero in local jazz right now, it’s keyboard player Ed Kornhauser. The man is just about everywhere, most recently playing with the likes of the band Juicebox, Whitney Shay and Jesse Lamonaca. On April 28, Kornhauser will step into the spotlight himself at Dizzy’s, when he performs a show with the Ed Kornhauser Organ Trio, featuring guitarist Michael Borowski and drummer Charlie Weller. Perhaps best known for his virtuoso piano playing, his organ work is revelatory with a touch that at times can range from Jimmy Smith cool to Jon Lord bombast, as the song dictates. One of the key players in today’s local jazz renaissance, Kornhauser is poised for a welldeserved national breakout.

Anyone who likes jazz with a touch of ’60s cool should check out Jason Hanna, appearing Fridays at the Tangier Bar located at the Bahia Resort. The location is a bit of a time warp, like stepping onto the set of an exotic movie, with Hanna’s great selection of tunes providing the perfect soundtrack. Hanna plays with different-sized combos around town, playing here as part of a trio. Hanna recently released an album, “Taking The Horns By The Bull,” full of his terrific renditions of classics by the The Ed Kornhauser Organ Trio: likes of Bacharach, Ellington and Friday, April 28 at Dizzy’s at Arias Bowie, but Hanna and his crew are Hall, 1717 Morena Blvd. 8 p.m. $15. at their best when they can interact www.dizzysjazz.com.
