ost anniversaries deserve celebrations. That the Philadelphia Zoning Code this year hit 50 years without modifications, however, has not led to any partying. Nearly 40 community members joined with personnel from the Philadelphia City Planning Commission to discuss Philadelphia 2035, a comprehensive development plan, at The Mummers Museum, 1100 S. Second St., Oct. 26. See ZONING CODE page 12

It’s the Sam old song A Point Breeze jazz giant will commemorate eight decades of grooving with a special show Saturday. By Joseph Myers R e v i e w s ta f f w r i t e r

any people find difficulty in focusing on constructive matters for even eight minutes. Sam Reed has been blocking out all distractions for the last eight decades. At 7 p.m. Saturday, the Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz and Performing Arts, 738 S. Broad St., and The Poor People Caravan for Christ will honor the 75-year-old’s diligence with its “Night to Remember” celebration, where the saxophonist will do what he knows best: Jamming with fellow jazz enthusiasts and stretching his art’s reach to locals. State Rep. Kenyatta Johnson will join with state Sen. Anthony Williams, U.S. Rep. Chaka Fattah’s office, and City Council in presenting him with a plaque and a legislative citation. Though born in Kingtree, S.C., Reed has called Point Breeze home for most of his life, as his parents ventured north when he was 2. Now residing on the 2200 block of Sears Street, he has remained a fervent lover of jazz since he took up the saxophone at age 14. Saturday, he will let his tenor saxophone stroll See REED page 9 Sam Reed, with his tenor saxophone, has recorded with music legends. S ta f f P h o t o b y G r e g B e z a n i s
