THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

with ANDREW TRAVERS

FASHION IT’S A FASHION SHOW. It’s dance theater. It’s for a good cause. And now it’s called Aspen Cares. The annual theatrical fashion show formerly known as the Aspen AIDS Benefit returns to Belly Up on Saturday, March 21. The event, a spinoff of the long-running Telluride AIDS Benefit, features choreographed movement from volunteer models on a catwalk with less of the typical strutting and turning, and more high-energy dancing. Models show off donated fashions from dozens of designers, but also entertain the less fashion-conscious in the crowd. Telluride’s AIDS Benefit was founded 1994 to raise funds for a local fashion designer with AIDS. It transformed into an annual event, raising money for AIDS and sexual healthrelated causes. It expanded to Aspen in 2012. Aspen’s version has expanded its beneficiaries to include the mental health services of the Aspen Hope Center for the 2015 rendition, dubbed Aspen Cares. Specifically, Saturday’s show will support the Hope Center’s Intensive Outpatient Program, which offers 24-hour service to locals with high-risk mental health issues. Remaining funds this year will go to local resources for HIV testing and education, as well as the Telluride AIDS Benefit. Along with the theatrical fashion show, Aspen Cares includes a live auction boasting items like trips to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and Art Basel Miami Beach, and a silent auction at www.aspencares.org. Casa Tua, on Sunday, March 22, hosts a trunk sale of the clothing and accessories featured on-stage the night before. Reserved seating is sold out, but at press time, reserved tables ($2,000), runway ($85), and general admission ($35) tickets were still available at the Belly Up box office and www.bellyupaspen.com.

Aspen Cares will blends fashion and dance theater to raise funds for mental and sexual health on Saturday, March 21.

CURRENTEVENTS MUSIC

Aspen Fringe Fest’s “Venus in Fur” will return for a one-night performance at the Wheeler Opera House on Sunday, March 22.

THEATER New Orleans pianist Jon Cleary is coming to town for a four-show, two-night run at the JAS Café at the Little Nell on March 20 and 21.

HIS ACCENT IS BRITISH but his soulful vocals and swampy piano licks are pure New Orleans. Jon Cleary, the current king of the Crescent City’s piano funk scene, will play the JAS Café at the Little Nell on Friday, March 20 and Saturday, March 21. “He’s one of the greatest and we love him,” says Jazz Aspen Snowmass director Jim Horowitz, who is bringing Cleary back for his second run at the JAS Café. Cleary is playing four shows at the club – in 7 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. sets – with his trio. Tickets are $35 to $45 and available at www.jazzaspensnowmass.org

TWO PLAYS OPEN ON STAGE in Aspen this weekend that blend comedy and drama with outstanding local casts. The Hudson Reed Ensemble, kicking off its 10th anniversary season, brings Christopher Durang’s awardwinning “Vanya, Sonia, Masha & Spike” to the Black Box Theatre, opening Friday, March 20 and running through Sunday, March 29 (Tickets are $25, available at the door and in advance at hudsonreedensemble.org). And the Aspen Fringe Festival is bringing back last year’s “Venus in Fur” for a one-night stand March 22 at the Wheeler Opera House, with David Ledingham and Nikki Boxer returning in the leads. If you missed it last summer, don’t make that mistake again this weekend. Tickets are $35, available at the Wheeler box office and www.aspenshowtix.com

THE WEEKLY CONVERSATION

WITH JOHN COLSON

Keep your nose in your iPhone; move along I POINT YOUR ATTENTION to a piece in the March 8 New York Times that might help to explain why you’ve been feeling anxious, frustrated and, in some cases, explosively angry much of the time these days. But first, let me say that I have long felt there is some kind of devious plot underway, on a national and perhaps international level, to get people so wrapped up in dealing with the minutiae of life that they stop thinking about the big picture, about how badly screwed up the world has become and how even worse it can get if things keep cruising along on autopilot. One idea behind the plot is to keep cranking out bright and shiny toys and gimcracks so that, instead of wondering why the world is warming up rapidly, people will concentrate on getting their iPhone working right, or getting their taxes filed correctly, or figuring out how to get decent health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, or finding a way to pay for that brand new, 28-speed, ultra-light road bike they really don’t need but really do want because … well, just because, damn it! As a subtext of the plot, the movers and shakers behind the screen (see: Wizard of Oz) realized decades ago that the U.S. political system is tailor-made for manipulation on a grand scale. Simply pull the rug out from under what once was the greatest mass-education system in the world, and you can dumb-down the populace sufficiently that a strong minority of people will believe anything that is repeated often enough, and loudly enough, particularly if it is said in monstrously oversimplified terms that can be twisted to match the deeply held prejudice of that subset of the population. Then, pay a few people a lot of money to parrot those same untruths, halftruths and outright lies, whether on TV or from think tanks or from the halls of Congress, and pretty soon you’ve got your perfectly docile population of uncritical, unimaginative drones on two legs. An alarmingly ascendant number of us are dutifully walking around with our noses too close to our “smart phones” and other devices, spending our hard-earned and meager cash on products made by cheap slave labor on some other continent, much of it poor-quality stuff we don’t need and throw out almost immediately, or on food that is not healthy but fills us up for the moment and makes us fat later on. And the main thing is, we do what we’re told, at least most of the time. And when we don’t, well, the ruling elite has a growing domestic army of militarized police just waiting to kick down our door,

take us away and teach us the value of obedience. And what’s worse, we don’t seem to mind. We’re not paying attention. We’re distracted to the point of being nearly blind to anything beyond about 4 feet from our noses. As noted before, there’s a book out about one particular aspect of our current predicament. A guy named Matthew B. Crawford has penned a book called “The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction.” In last Sunday’s New York Times, Crawford offers a critique on the loss of the ability to think quietly by ourselves, because our lives now are dominated by commercially-driven imagery everywhere we go. As an example, he described swiping his bank card at the grocery checkout one day, and while he’s waiting for the prompts, advertisements popped up on the little screen because “some genius had realized that a person in this situation is a captive audience.” Turning to airports as another example, he notes that ads have appeared in the trays we put our smaller items in for inspection by airport security; on the handrails of escalators; everywhere you look. He laments the “loss of public space that is required for sociability, the kind that depends on people not being selfenclosed,” self-enclosure being the last defense against the onslaught of irrelevant, trivial commercial messages. With almost no quiet time to reflect on life, to consider things more deeply than where to get the next latté, Crawford continues, we find ourselves feeling angry for no apparent cause, and with no apparent outlet for our mounting frustration. With all this distraction Crawford describes, I want to know how we can possibly be expected to pay enough attention to, say, who is lying and who is telling the truth in a local or national election, or whether oil and gas drilling next door is making a family deathly ill, or any of the vitally important questions we must consider as we make choices in our democratic republic. The answer, of course, is that we are NOT expected to think in those ways. We ARE expected to keep quiet, keep buying crap, keep watching mind-dulling TV, and keep our noses in our iPhones where they belong.

LEGENDS & LEGACIES

FROM the VAULT

by TIM WILLOUGHBY

A quick glance may leave you with the impression that this is a gondola terminal. Actually, it is the San Francisco cable car system. Whether you are skiing, getting about town or mining, wire rope pulls the load.

WIRE ROPE Next time you ride the gondola or a lift up the mountain,

spend a few minutes to examine and consider the cable that is holding you aloft and transporting you. We take it for granted, just as we do much of the infrastructure we rely on each day. Aspen’s ski lifts and mining industry depended on this mid-19th century invention. Fiber rope, especially hemp, kept the world functioning for millennia. As tasks got bigger so did the thickness of rope, but there were limits to the weight a rope could handle. In addition, fiber wore out quickly, especially when attacked by moisture. Coating the rope with pine tar, a common practice on sailing ships, did not extend the life for very long, and each vessel required miles of rope. During the 1840s and 1850s, two American engineers on opposite coasts developed a method to make more long-lasting rope from steel wire. John A. Roebling, a New York inventor, began experimenting with ways to make wire rope in the 1840s. He spent the next 10 years using the resulting cables to build suspension bridges. He and his son built a railway bridge near Niagara Falls in 1855, and many more constructions led to his final triumph, the Brooklyn Bridge, in 1883. On the West Coast, Andrew Hallidie opened California Wire Works in San Francisco and built several 300-foot suspension bridges. But then he quickly shifted his focus to California and Nevada mining businesses.

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Hallidie engineered a gravity powered tram system he called “Hallidie’s Endless Wire RopeWay,” which moved mine ore down mountains. He also manufactured barbed wire. Streetcar systems such as the San Francisco Cable Car System provided him a more glamorous market. They used moving, looped, wire rope to pull cars from one end

of town to the other. Though Aspen was located closer to Hallidie’s plant, the city favored Roebling’s New York rope. Tompkins Galena Street store, which sold the most mining supplies in town, offered Roebling cable and the machinery that used it. At first Aspen’s miners used hemp rope to lift ore buckets up shafts. Horsedrawn whims wound the rope onto

IN COLORADO MINING TOWNS, THE DELIVERY AND INSTALLATION OF A TRAM CABLE ATTRACTED A CROWD. WEIGHING IN AT POUNDS PER FOOT, THOUSANDS OF FEET OF CABLE PRESENTED TRANSPORTATION DIFFICULTIES. THE COMMON METHOD EMPLOYED ALL THE MULES THAT COULD BE ROUNDED UP IN THE AREA. FIRST A MULE DRIVER MADE A COUPLE OF 4-FOOT LOOPS OF CABLE AND ATTACHED IT TO ONE SIDE OF A MULE. THEN HE MADE A FEW MORE LOOPS FOR THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BEAST. NEXT HE STRETCHED CABLE TO THE FOLLOWING MULE, AND SO ON. FINALLY, MOVING TOGETHER, THE MULES WOULD HAUL THE ENTIRE LENGTH UP THE MOUNTAIN.

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

a spool. As was the case throughout history, hemp rope wore out quickly. As mines got deeper and production increased, fiber rope could not withstand the rigors of the tasks. Though Hallidie’s company had far more experience building tramways, when Aspen began constructing them the city turned to Roebling, at least for the cables. In Colorado mining towns, the delivery and installation of a tram cable attracted a crowd. Weighing in at pounds per foot, thousands of feet of cable presented transportation difficulties. The common method employed all the mules that could be rounded up in the area. First a mule driver made a couple of 4-foot loops of cable and attached it to one side of a mule. Then he made a few more loops for the other side of the beast. Next he stretched cable to the following mule, and so on. Finally, moving together, the mules would haul the entire length up the mountain. Wire rope outperformed hemp, but it did not last forever. Eventually the cable for the Aspen Mine Tram began to unravel. The tram was shut down for a long time until Roebling delivered a new cable. One of the mine tram cables was “retired” for use in Aspen’s first ski lifts. Rather than hoisting buckets of silver ore, it elevated more valuable cargo: chairs packed with skiers. Tim Willoughby’s family story parallels Aspen’s. He began sharing folklore while teaching for Aspen Country Day School and Colorado Mountain College. Now a tourist in his native town, he views it with historical perspective. Reach him at redmtn2@comcast.net.

PIANO MAN

1946 ASPEN

ACCORDING TO THE ASPEN DAILY TIMES on Aug. 1, 1946, Aspen residents were presented with a rare opportunity to have their pianos worked on. As the paper noted, “at long last Aspen and Pitkin County will have the services of a piano tuner when Mr. P.R. Shoffner of the Colorado Springs Music Company arrives in Aspen this weekend ready to start his work next Monday. Many pianos in this area have not been tuned for several years and some of them are badly in need of such work. Mr. Shoffner will be prepared to do minor repairs and the standard price of $6.00 per piano will cover the minor repair items. Approximately 30 or more individuals have indicated to The Times their desire for such service and if others in Aspen or surrounding territory wish to contact Mr. Shoffner, they should call The Times office, 2101, this week and Mr. Shoffner will be given their name and address.” This photo and more can be found in the Aspen Historical Society archives at aspenhistory.org.

GEAR of the WEEK

by STEPHEN REGNEOLD

MUD SHOE: SALOMON FELLCROSS MAKES THE CUT

GET IT

170

www.salomon.com

TAKE AN OFF-ROAD TRUCK and meld it with a racecar. Turn that into a shoe, and you get something like the S-LAB Fellcross 3 from Salomon. Made for running on muddy trails, grass, sand and snow, the Fellcross was designed to be fast in places where most footwear slips or fails. I tested the high-tech, high-price shoes this month as snowdrifts melted into mud. The grip underfoot, bolstered by more than 40 quarter-inch lugs, is unsurprisingly solid. The shoe remains flexible despite an aggressive sole. The mid-sole is thin, letting the shoe flex and meld to the terrain.

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

Its upper is water-resistant but not puddle-proof. The shoe hugs your foot in a soft but tough synthetic material with welded overlays and dense mesh. A Kevlar lace cinches the shoe tight. The overall fit is precise and more narrow than many trail-runners. (Try them on to dial in the fit; I needed to reduce one-half size for my foot.) On the trail, the Fellcross gave confidence where things got sloppy. Steep paths with loose footing, as well as variable off-trail forest or alpine terrain, is the venue for these specialty shoes. Don’t plan to run on the road or compacted, rocky trails. There is little

cushioning by design, and the shoe is not made for hard surfaces. Salomon designed the Fellcross with its professional trail-running team, and the company markets them as giving “performance our top athletes demand for racing in mucky conditions.” They come with a pro-level price tag of $170. Look to the Fellcross if you’re a serious runner in need of a shoe for seriously steep, sloppy, muddy terrain.

WINEINK

WINE 101:

CALIFORNIA’S INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING “THE DAVIS KIDS ARE VERY ANALYTICAL with a good understanding of science. The Fresno kids seem to be a little more hands on and have a feel for the work and the vineyards. And the San Luis Obispo kids are always the nicest kids in the world.” That was the breakdown I got from the senior winemaker at a California-based wine KELLY J. company that employs HAYES as many as 20 different enologists at any given time. I had asked him whether a company like his pays much attention to where applicants went to school. Like an investment banking firm that might favor graduates from, say, Duke over Princeton. He answered, “Not at all. We hire on winemaking skills, similar tastes and whether candidates seem like a good fit for our company and our wines.” Still…if you are a young person wishing to work in wine, perhaps the clearest path to becoming a winemaker is to go to one of the best wine programs. In California, The University of California at Davis, Fresno State and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo offer three of the most extensive and respected curriculums in the various aspects of the wine industry. While it may not be as old as Harvard (established in 1636), the viticulture program at the University of California has surprisingly deep roots. In 1880, the California Legislature recognized the potential of the state as a world-class wine-growing region and mandated that a program be established “providing for instruction and research in viticulture and enology.” This original department was located on the campus at Berkley. The growth of the department, like that of the industry, was stymied by the introduction of Prohibition in 1919 before it was reintroduced on the campus at Davis in 1935. Since then the Department of Viticulture & Enology has become the de-facto “Harvard of Wine.” Get a degree from the Davis program and you will be virtually guaranteed a position in the wine industry.

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

In fact, Davis proclaims on their website that fully 80 percent of the California wine industry has ties to the school in one way or the other. Davis’ focus on research and science in the study of wine was long considered the key to its success. There was a time when Davis grads were ridiculed for being too “practical” and not grape or field savvy. But over the last decade much of that has changed, thanks to the introduction of a number of new buildings and a renewed focus on the hands-on experience in winemaking. To support this initiative, a number of significant new facilities have been constructed on the Davis campus, including the Robert Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science, the state of the art UC Davis’ Teaching and Research Winery, and the LEED-certified Jess S. Jackson Sustainable Wine Building. All this for a program that graduates around 100 students annually. About 180 miles south of Davis, in the heart of California’s San Joaquin Valley, is the Fresno State Department of Viticulture and Enology. Here, students get their backs into their learning. Perhaps the most unique aspect of a Fresno winemaker is the fact that he or she has been able to participate in making and selling wine at the nation’s first bonded collegiate winery. The Fresno State Winery, founded in 1997, produces, packages, distributes and sells wines just like a regular commercial winery. This month’s featured wine is a 2012 “March Merlot” and one can purchase it online at the Fresno State Winery website. Just go to http://store. fresnostatewinery.com. Not far from the coast sits the campus of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, home to one of the largest wine programs in the country. Close to 300 students are enrolled in the Wine and Viticulture Department at the school, which prides itself on providing a “handson” approach to the study of wine. Students work a 14-acre, stateof-the-art vineyard and, like the Fresno program, are involved in the production of a student-produced wine label. This allows for a fully

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

integrated curriculum that takes students through the entire process of vineyard management to winemaking to marketing. The California Legislature, 130 years after its initial mandate for a program, took another step in helping to ensure the future of the industry this past year when it passed a “Sip and Spit” law. Assembly Bill No. 1989 allows students who are registered in “qualified academic institution” and at least 18 years old to participate in sensory analysis courses where they can taste and spit wine and beer. The law, which gives students under the legal drinking age of 21 special dispensation, strictly mandates where and when the students may drink. But it is a significant step for those enrolled in the programs at these institutions of higher learning.

All of this simply means that if you have an interest in studying wine and how it is made and marketed, there are a plethora of opportunities. Those who choose to make wine their careers have many more choices today for degrees and advanced degrees than were available even a single generation ago. So while you may have majored in drinking in college, today it is possible to spend four (or more) years learning about wine without getting a single hangover. Ah, progress.

UNDER THE INFLUENCE WIND GAP 2012 SONOMA COAST SYRAH At a recent dinner at Rustique, Randy Ullom, the abovementioned winemaker who is in charge of all winemaking for Kendall-Jackson and the Jackson Family Wines, searched for a red wine to complement our Pot-auFeu. As there were none of his reds on the list (something that should be rectified) he selected this cold-climate Syrah from sommelier-turned-winemaker Pax Mahle. Dark fruits mingled with the distinct floral flavors of the Coast and hints of pepper (though less so than in the Santa Maria Spice we talked about last week). This wine was perfect with the braised beef.

FOOD MATTERS FOOD MATTERS

GAME CHANGER

THE FIRST SALMON DISH I EVER LIKED EVEN RESTAURANT WRITERS have their food aversions — and they don’t always include exotic bits like duck heads and monkey brains. Former New York Times critic and Gourmet magazine editor Ruth Reichl hates honey. Scott Reitz of the Dallas Observer can’t stomach cottage cheese. When Jeffrey Steingarten settled into AMANDA his post as food critic RAE at Vogue in 1989, he brought along major distastes for kimchi, anchovies, and swordfish, among other mainstream ingredients. So I’m not ashamed to admit that every time I see salmon listed on a tasting menu, my heart sinks a little. I know it’s one of the most popular species and everyone’s eating it — therefore reaping myriad health benefits I miss out on — but I’ve never been a fan. Every morsel I’ve sampled — cooked, raw, wrapped in Phyllo — has left a lingering, faintly fishy aftertaste, I swear. And don’t get me started on lox, with its insideof-a-stale-refrigerator odor and slimy mouthfeel. Apologies to the many chefs I’ve faked out in the past: Not once have I truly, madly, deeply enjoyed a salmon dish. Until last Tuesday, upstairs at the Sky Hotel, when I scraped clean an entire 5-ounce portion of salmon. In fact, I announced to my dining companions that I adored the dish, and that I would order it again voluntarily, if I could. Perhaps ironically, this gamechanging moment occurred during Women & Whiskey, a four-course pairing dinner sponsored by the Jack Daniel’s Family of Fine Whiskeys. (Initially, I thought a ladies-only tasting of the No. 1 whiskey in the world sounded kind of…sexist…but 30 or so females in the room — including a 39 Degrees bartender — confirmed that Jack Daniel’s is not a popular choice among broads. They also

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

confirmed why salmon typically finds a seat at these kinds of dinners, buoyed by the fact that the omega-rich fish tops the “Best Foods for Women” lists pushed by the media. I digress.) That this delectable dish of fish was part of a one-time tasting means I won’t find it waiting at 39 Degrees Lounge whenever the craving fails to flee me. Instead, I track down Sky Hotel executive chef Shawn Lawrence — whom I now pronounce “Salmon Whisperer” — to beg him for the recipe (see opposite page). Not surprisingly, the only salmon dish I’ve ever loved requires two crucial taste-making steps: 1) Marinate Skuna Bay salmon in a rub made of raw Turbinado sugar, salt, and Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey (the infamous black bottle) and 2) Smoke slow and low over hickory wood. The result: a not-quite-cooked, notquite-raw, very rare piece of salmon a translucent shade of stewed apricot. Each flaky bite tasted sweet, smoky, and reminiscent of apples and bacon — though no fruit or pig made it to the plate. A simple purée of cauliflower with white pepper and a shower of crispy, fried Brussels sprouts leaves made fine accompaniments. After gushing about the salmon, I ask Lawrence if he has any food aversions. “As a kid I grew up with a grandmother who had a farm, so I liked all food,” he says. “But having older brothers who didn’t like vegetables, I saw it. From personal experience, just from traveling, every time I have a great dish that has broccoli in it, I definitely note it.” But no vegetable has undergone a transformation as radical as Brussels sprouts. Once a distant Thanksgiving-dinner memory as waterlogged, grey miniature cabbages, Brussels sprouts — roasted, charred, and topped with bacon or pomegranate seeds now — have grown up to become 2015’s buzziest food. Cooking methods

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

make all the difference. “Cauliflower is definitely one of those vegetables that surprises people,” Lawrence adds. “You can roast it, you can boil it, you can blend it, you can eat it in soup, you can eat it raw.” Yet like smoked salmon, you won’t find the cruciferous white knight on the menu at 39 Degrees Lounge, either. “You know, being in the lounge, it’s hard to say, ‘Hey, I’ve got some great cauliflower!’” Lawrence says with a laugh. “But I do play with it. I use it a lot in my private dining.” A few nights later, I’m at the Cache Cache bar. When my friend offers a taste of her go-to dish — smoked Scottish salmon tartare with sea trout roe — I don’t pull a diva and decline emphatically. Instead, I’m intrigued. I always enjoy chef Chris Lanter’s food, but might I become enamored with another salmon dish in one week? On this night, I do accept more than one potato crisp topped with chopped salmon, Serrano chile crème fraîche, and avocado. It’s a start. The good news: Studies show that food preferences are learned. In fact, many bizarre aversions are

linked to negative experiences, often in childhood. I, for one, have a vivid memory of being shamed into eating a lox-topped bagel at a classmate’s house in pre-K. Our school was at a synagogue, though my family isn’t Jewish. Perhaps therein lay the sociocultural miscommunication: My parents never had Shana’s favorite food — smoked salmon — in our house. It was foreign, and therefore scary, to me. Another psychological phenomenon explains that exposure to anything increases a liking for it. So food aversions, no matter how deeply entrenched they seem, may be unlearned. Take Vogue critic Steingarten, a former lawyer who originally proclaimed he wouldn’t eat kimchi, anchovies, or swordfish, even if stuck on a deserted island. Ten years and thousands of meals into the gig, he wrote a memoir on his experiences. It’s titled, “The Man Who Ate Everything.”

Against all odds, Amanda Rae might prepare this salmon recipe at home. amandaraewashere@gmail.com

MAKE IT JACK DANIEL’S OLD NO. 7 SMOKED SKUNA BAY SALMON By Chef Shawn Lawrence, 39 Degrees Lounge at Sky Hotel SERVES 4 ½ cup Sugar in the Raw 1 cup kosher salt 1 teaspoon white pepper 1 tablespoon fresh chopped thyme ½ cup Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey 4 5-ounce portions Skuna Bay salmon Hickory chips, for smoking Mix first five ingredients to the texture of wet sand. Rub on salmon. Refrigerate two hours, then rinse. Place in a smoker with hickory chips at 150 degrees for one hour. Alternatively, place an aluminum foil pouch filled with wood chips lightly soaked in water beneath grates on a grill pre-heated to medium. When wood chips start to smoke, lower heat to low (inside grill temperature should be around 150) and place salmon on the grill grates, skin side down, for about an hour. “Try to seal off any holes in your grill so the smoke stays in longer,” Lawrence says. “A low temp is key. You don’t want to cook the salmon, just smoke it.” Serve salmon atop steamed, puréed cauliflower with white pepper and fried Brussels sprouts leaves.

With 10 bars on the crawl, which was the culminating event for the third annual Après Ski Cocktail Classic, revelers chose the “Zeno Spice” as their favorite drink; Zeno also tied with 39 Degrees at the Sky Hotel for best après scene. Also receiving accolades in the form of the Jury Award was Chefs Club’s creation, “By Any Other Name.” And new this year, the Après Temperance Society in association with the Après Ski Cocktail Classic gave the inaugural Ajax Award to Jimmy Yeager, owner of the iconic Jimmy’s Restaurant and the newer Jimmy’s Bodega.

ASPEN UNTUCKED

by BARBARA PLATTS

IT’S SHOW TIME

ASPEN CARES THEATRICAL FASHION SHOW COMES TO THE BELLY UP FIVE, SIX, AND SEVEN, EIGHT… The count came back to me almost immediately. Perhaps it never left. It felt as natural as riding a bike or reciting the alphabet. I danced all the time when I was young. I had a love affair with the stage, even though I probably cared for it more than it did me. I was always enrolled in drama and dance classes. I even, kind of, BARBARA learned how to sing and PLATTS play guitar, but that all started to fizzle out at the end of high school. Journalism took the steering wheel and my variations of performance art moved to the backseat, or quite possibly, got let out at the closest intersection. I never regretted the decision. I summed up the interest to a high school fantasy and chose a career that was much more stable and lucrative: print media… I really enjoy my job, but as a writer I can often get stuck in my routine, spending hours of the day staring at my LCD computer screen trying to turn words into stories. I’m constantly looking for new things that can pull me out of my comfort zone for a brief moment. That’s why I succumbed to the peer pressure from Ramona Bruland, one of the co-founders and producers of Aspen Cares, an annual theatrical fashion show

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

(formerly known as the Aspen AIDS Benefit) benefitting organizations that support sexual and mental health such as the Aspen Hope Center, Aspen Community Health, WestCap, and the Telluride AIDS Benefit. Since Aspen Magazine is sponsoring the event, I was beginning to hear a lot about it and wanted to see what auditions would be like. I figured the more embarrassing the better…it would ultimately make a good story. But then, the plan went astray a bit. I ended up getting called back and then, ultimately, cast in the show. The Aspen Cares fashion show is a one-night only event at the Belly Up that’s in its fourth year. The concept stemmed from the Telluride AIDS Benefit that started in 1994. Unlike the typical charitable galas with the standard dinner, auction, dance routine, this fundraising

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

event takes a different approach. It dresses up roughly 30 locals in fancy, and often bare, clothes, gives them choreography and music and lets them sort the rest out on the runway in what ends up being an intricate story about addiction, loss, heartache and ultimately, love and acceptance. The artistic geniuses behind this production are co-founder and director Katy Parnello and choreographer Amanda Carlson. They’ve both been involved in the Telluride AIDS Benefit for several years and have taken the show on tour to Boulder and New York. The two of them, and Bruland, have worked tirelessly to bring this story to life, not only boasting a great cause but also showing why it’s necessary to do so. They want to reveal, in a beautifully artistic way, why we should care about mental

and sexual health. To do this, they sprinkle characters throughout the fashion show: the virgin, the drunk, the bad boy, the bully, and the outcast that gets bullied, which just so happens to be my part. Along with the creators, the cast is also intensely dedicated, rehearsing long hours and putting other obligations aside for weeks to make this show as good as possible. Some of them even have to shed most of their clothes in a (spoiler alert) lingerie/S&M choreographed piece. We are now two days out from the show and things are getting real. What started as a story idea for me has turned into a full-on production. Despite the hours of work and the fact that I will be bullied on stage, I’m so glad I had the opportunity to take this on. It’s easy to get stuck in a routine in this town, falling into patterns and not branching out. But, often times, when we do, great things can happen. I’m not sure about the rest of the cast, but I’m ready for my close up. To find out more information about Aspen Cares and its beneficiaries, go to aspencares.org.

THE DEDICATED Justin Kauflin JAZZ PIANIST LOSES A MENTOR, CARRIES ON A LEGACY AND COMES TO ASPEN by ANDREW TRAVERS

Justin Kauflin with jazz great Clark Terry, who mentored Kauflin and died last month.

BEFORE THERE WERE SCHOOL PROGRAMS FOR JAZZ, instruction books on playing it, and a professional class of musicians teaching it, there was Clark Terry. The exuberant trumpet player, from the end of World War II into the 21st century, took on students and helped them find their own voices. Among his first pupils were music-legends-to-be like Miles Davis and Quincy Jones. His last was Justin Kauflin. Terry’s relationship with Kauflin, an ascendant 28-year-old pianist, was chronicled in the acclaimed 2014 documentary “Keep On Keepin’ On,” which let the world know about Kauflin, and

helped the world celebrate Terry in the final months of his life. Terry died in February. A few days after Terry’s funeral in Harlem, Kauflin reflected on his mentor’s rich life and incalculable impact on jazz. “It’s been tough but also you can’t help but be grateful for everything,” Kauflin told me. “It was a beautiful life. It was great to see all the people out there to honor Clark. I actually felt happy for him. … At the end of folks’ lives, they tend to feel forgotten. But for Clark to have been surrounded by love for the last six months, I thank God that was able to happen before he left, when he was able to appreciate it.” Kauflin has been listening to Terry’s

records, he says, “non-stop” since Terry died to keep his mentor — and his mentor’s ebullient spirit — around the young pianist as he prepares for some big steps in his own career and the honor of carrying on Terry’s legacy. On the heels of the popular run of “Keep On Keepin’ On” — which won plaudits on the film festival circuit, including the Best Documentary prize at Aspen Filmfest in October — Kauflin released the album “Dedication” in January. He comes to the Wheeler Opera House March 27 in support of the record, four days after an encore presentation of “Keep On Keepin’ On” at the historic Aspen theater.

CLOCKWISE FROM LEFT: Justin Kauflin performing with his trio; “Keep On Keepin’ On” won the Best Documentary prize at the 2014 Aspen Filmfest. It chronicled Clark Terry and Kauflin’s student-teacher relationship over Terry’s final years. He died last month at 94; Kauflin will play at the Wheeler Opera House on Friday, March 27.

KEEPIN’ ON Director Alan Hicks, a drummer and classmate of Kauflin’s at William Paterson University in New Jersey, undertook the film to capture Terry’s impact on jazz — specifically, the ripple effect of his thousands of students, many greats among them, teaching thousands more. But as Hicks started filming, it evolved into a warm portrait of Terry’s friendship with his protégé Kauflin. As Terry’s diabetes progressed, and his health failed as he neared age 90, Terry began losing his eyesight. His vision dimming, Terry looked to his student, Kauflin, who has been blind since age 11 from a hereditary disorder, for strength. Kauflin was most grateful that Terry lived to see the film completed, and to experience its worldwide reception. Its popularity, Kauflin says, inspired Terry’s past students, and people he touched, to track him down and thank him in what turned out to be his final days. A group of his old bandmates traveled to Arkansas, where Terry settled in his later years, to play for him, in December,

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

for his 94th birthday. “Clark’s students from over 50 years and people that he met at workshops started reaching out to him to tell him what he meant to them personally,” Kauflin recalls. “That was really incredible.” With Kauflin and Terry at its center, “Keep On Keepin’ On” becomes a feature length testament to the importance of mentorship, both for teacher and student. It begins with Kauflin, at age 23, struggling to make it as a jazz musician in New York, and looking to Terry for guidance. “Right now I’m just a nobody, trying to figure things out,” Kauflin says early on. The film weaves in the highlights of Terry’s unparalleled career. He played with Duke Ellington and Count Basie’s orchestra in the 1940s and ’50s, and became the first black staff musician on network television, playing with “The Tonight Show” band. He recorded with legends from Charles Mingus to Thelonious Monk, in his instantly recognizable, buoyant blowing style on the trumpet and flugelhorn, often described as “the happiest sound in jazz,” and became

best known for his 1964 scat hit “Mumbles.” But his largest lasting impact, the film suggests, may be in those he taught. An early champion of jazz education, Terry recalls how when he was a kid in St. Louis, he had nowhere to learn how to play. After hearing Duke Ellington for the first time at age 10, he made a trumpet out of junkyard parts. Neighbors chipped in to buy him a real trumpet, he claimed, to save them from the racket of the junk horn. As he tells it in the film, back then, in the 1930s, with no jazz instruction books and no school programs, a young person would have to seek out “old-timers” to teach them. And it was difficult to get them to open up about the tricks of the trade. “I realized that was some jive ass shit,” he says in the film. “And I decided that if I ever learned jazz, I wouldn’t keep it from anybody. … To help young musicians make their dreams come true, that became my supreme joy and my greatest aspiration.” In the decades that followed, he would teach a 12-year-old Quincy Jones, and later the likes Dianne Reeves and Wynton Marsalis. “Every icon in jazz since Clark Terry has had to learn something from Clark Terry,” jazz bassist Christian McBride says in the film. The genius of his instruction, students say,

was his ability to help them find their own style. “He doesn’t want you to copy, he wants you to find your own voice,” says Jones. Over the course of “Keep On Keepin’ On,” you watch Terry do just that with Kauflin, inspiring the young musician to match his talent with soul. Kauflin began playing classical music as a child, but teachers steered him toward jazz as he lost his eyesight, because it would require less reading. “When I finally lost my sight, I didn’t have video games anymore, I didn’t have basketball, playing with my friends. That all went away. I said, ‘What do I have left to do? What is there?’ And I gravitated to the piano,” Kauflin says in the film. Kauflin prepares to compete in the Thelonious Monk Institute of Jazz competition in the movie, making regular pilgrimages to see Terry in Pine Bluff, Arkansas. From his sick bed, with an oxygen tube in is nose, Terry coaches Kauflin and pushes him, singing melodies to inspire the young pianist, talking and playing into the early morning hours (Terry, like many jazz

musicians, was nocturnal). As Terry inspires Kauflin to find his own sound, Kauflin helps Terry through the hardships of his failing health. At one point in the film, Terry is being treated in a hyperbaric chamber, and Kauflin speaks to him through a phone, talking music and getting Terry to sing for him from inside the tube. “I think he’s one of the most talented pianists that has ever walked the face of this earth,” Terry says of Kauflin. The film captures Quincy Jones coming to visit Terry as he recovers from a surgery, spending time with his teacher during his last days. Terry uses the opportunity to tell Jones, the legendary record producer, about his latest protégé. “You didn’t hear that little blind piano

player yet did you?” Terry asks Jones. Kauflin plays for Jones at Terry’s bedside. The discovery led Jones to take Kauflin with him on tours of the world over the last three years, and to sign on as his manager. He also produced “Dedication.” At the Montreaux Jazz Festival last year, Jones introduced Kauflin, saying he was Terry’s first student and Kauflin was his last. “When we all want to listen to something well, we close our eyes,” Jones said. “Justin doesn’t have to worry about that. … He can hear, and he can play like you’ve never heard in your life.” Along with bringing Terry wide recognition at the end of his life, the film gave Kauflin an audience — a wide one by jazz standards — as his own career begins. “It gave both Clark and me an exposure to an audience that really wasn’t aware of jazz or had no interest in it,” Kauflin says. “I don’t think I ever would have been able to be in front of that many people and share my life as a musician.” Along with Terry and Kauflin, the film has something of a third star: Kauflin’s animated seeing eye dog, Candy, who has become a minor celebrity herself. Candy, as has become her custom, will be with him on-stage at the Wheeler when Kauflin performs with his quartet. “Clark and I are the subject of the film, but Candy has turned out to be the star and she knows it,” Kauflin says with a laugh. “She’ll be right under the piano. She’s a showman for sure.”

DEDICATED The 12 original compositions that make up Kauflin’s new album are all dedicated to people he wants to thank and honor. Naturally, it includes a song titled “For Clark.” Kauflin says he made sure, when he wrote this tribute to Terry, that he left space for improvisation, and room for the song to grow and evolve over time. “I wrote it simply, with a simple melody and harmony, so that it could be open to the moment and how I’m feeling particularly about Clark in the moment,” he explains. “It’s going to continue. And now that I’ve been playing it for awhile I feel like I need to write another one — one song doesn’t feel like enough for Clark.” Kauflin’s jazz piano on the record includes hints of gospel and classical meeting sweetly in the be-bop spirit imparted by Terry. It includes songs for other mentors — professor Muldrew Miller, piano teacher John Toomey — and for friends, and “Mother’s Song,” for his mom. The music, he says, allowed him to express all the gratitude he’s felt for those who have shaped him. Performing the songs on tour, perhaps more importantly, keeps him grateful. “The concept of the record was to basically allow me to say ‘Thank you’ in the music I wrote, but also to be able to do that in every performance,” he explains. “It’s something that I feel very strongly about.” The new album also includes a suite of songs thanking God. Kauflin, a practicing Catholic, uses music as an expression of his faith. “As an artist, who I am is reflected in the music that I perform and compose,” he says. “The most evident thing about me that I identify with is my faith and my life as

A S P E N T I M E S W E E K LY

Mar ch 19 - Mar ch 25 , 2015

a Catholic. That is my source of inspiration. Even though these songs are all written for different people, they’re really about faith.” The Wheeler show marks Kauflin’s Aspen debut, though he’s been in the Colorado high country previously as a high school student at the Vail Jazz Workshop in 2003, and has returned there to perform twice as an alumnus. If spreading joy through song is what fans will most remember Clark Terry for, it’s a legacy Kauflin wants to continue. But, Kauflin notes, he also learned from Terry that there’s much more to being a good musician than playing good music. “You get so stuck in being proficient on your instrument, in being technically sound, and that’s great,” he says. “But it’s nothing without the heart and the desire to actually

connect with people. That’s something I got from Clark and that I hope to pass on.” Working with Terry inspired Kauflin to want to teach, as well, and to look beyond the stage to make an impact. “I’ve had incredible teachers, especially Clark, and that taught me to realize, yes, I want to be a performer, I want to share my music and my story with people. But I also want to create opportunities for anyone else, like Clark did. He made that his mission. … I have a lot of experience to gain, a lot of things to learn, and people to learn from, but I am in a position where I can help younger musicians and I think that’s going to be a big part of what I do from here out.” atravers@aspentimes.com

VOYAGES

DESTINATION | PALOMAS, MEXCIO

LA CABALGATA

BRIDGING CULTURAL GAPS AT THE BORDER “We’re tired from the dancing, not the cabalgata,” one of the horsemen says. It’s early morning on Saturday, March 7 and I’m in the stockyards in Palomas, Mexico, where dozens of Mexican riders — men, women and kids — are saddling their horses and preparing to cross the border, join American riders and parade into Columbus, New Mexico. This is the 16th annual Cabalgata Binaciónal Villista or Binational Villa Cavalcade, a very different experience than that day 99 years ago (March 9, 1916 actually) when Gen. Pancho Villa’s troops attacked members of the U.S. Third Cavalry Regiment, burned Columbus and took some 100 horses and mules as well as other supplies. Eighteen Americans were killed and about 80 of Villa’s troops. Villa had been a friend of the U.S. and had appeared with Gen. John F. “Black Jack” Pershing at Fort Bliss, Texas, a few years earlier. However, President Woodrow Wilson’s support of Villa’s rival, Venustiano Carranza, turned him against the U.S. That plus the more critical issue of needing

supplies led to the raid. President Wilson responded by sending thousands of American troops after him, using for the first time trucks and airplanes. The commanding officer was Pershing who later commanded the American Expeditionary Force in World War I. His aide was then-First Lieutenant George S. Patton. If the eleven month chase of Villa proved fruitless, at least it provided training for those future military leaders. The influence of Villa is still powerful. Columbus has the Pancho Villa State Park and there’s a wonderful statue of Villa on his horse in front of the municipal building in Palomas. In addition, Ivonne and Sergio Romero, the owners of the Pink Store in Palomas, commissioned a statue of Villa and Pershing shaking hands which is located in the plaza next to their store. Some 16 years ago, a coalition of Mexicans and Americans came together to initiate a different way of commemorating Villa’s raid, a way to unite rather than divide

our border. At a time when the topic of immigration is so toxic and when we have invested (very wastefully, I believe) billions in “border security,” this effort to unite our borders is a welcome effort. It’s called the Cabalgata Binaciónal Villista and every year hundreds of Mexicans ride north to Palomas from communities as far south as Guerrero, about 300 miles away, with the intention of crossing into the United States and parading to

Columbus on the March Saturday closest to the day of Villa’s raid. Many of the towns from which they come — Temosachic, Nicolas Bravo and Galeana, for example, are so small you can’t find them on a map. After a Friday night fiesta, those who have the necessary papers cross the border on their horses on Saturday morning, join up with riders from the U.S. and parade into Columbus where the town has prepared a welcoming celebration. For the second year in a row, I’ve gone to Palomas on Friday to meet the riders and photograph them as they ride into tiny Palomas from the south. Then there is the fiesta in the Terraza San Vicente that night where hundreds gather to enjoy a number of extraordinary dance groups from as far as away as the states of Colima and Baja California. Midway during the evening, “reconocimientos,” or certificates of appreciation, are given out to representatives from all the communities that sent riders. To everyone’s surprise, one of the recipients was Benny Acuña, who had come all the way from Gillette, Wyoming, with his wife Becky. Apparently, they had traveled down into Mexico to find him a horse that he could ride back to the border. Dressed as Pancho Villa was Narciso Martinez Alvarado from Durango, Mexico, who calls himself the International Ambassador of Villismo. He has a variety of military hats from the Villa era and the saddle horn on his saddle is shaped like the head of Villa.

BY 8:20 A.M., THE MEXICAN RIDERS WERE SADDLED UP, MOVING THROUGH U.S. CUSTOMS AND FORMING A COLUMN ON THE U.S. SIDE WITH AMERICAN RIDERS. IT WAS A DAY THAT FOCUSED ON FRIENDSHIP AND RESPECT, SOMETHING THAT IS MUCH NEEDED ON THE BORDER. LATER THE MEXICAN RIDERS WOULD CROSS BACK OVER THE BORDER, LOAD THEIR HORSES IN TRUCKS AND HEAD FOR HOME. That evening, Palomas’ main street was jammed with cars cruising up and down, and flocks of kids were at the carnival area located in the central park, more life and vitality than I’ve seen in this tiny town in years. I went to my room at the Hotel Karina Fierro at about 11 p.m. but it sounded like others were partying until dawn. Early Saturday morning, however, riders were at the corrals and registering in order to cross into the United States. One was Raul Estrada from Eagle,

Colorado. He, his wife Maria Antonia (Tonia), and their daughter Mariela have a small ranch 20 kilometers south of Cuauhtémoc, Mexico, near a town named San Bernabé. They had traveled to the ranch then spent two weeks riding hundreds of miles back to Palomas for this Saturday morning border crossing. By 8:20 a.m., the Mexican riders were saddled up, moving through U.S. customs and forming a column on the U.S. side with American riders

led by Nayeli Vazquez, Miss Columbus. The whole procession then headed back to Columbus where spectators lined the streets and where Columbus’ Mayor Skinner and his wife, Diana, had organized a special reception. It was a day that focused on friendship and respect, something that is much needed on the border. Later the Mexican riders would cross back over the border, load their horses in trucks and head for home.

Ninety-nine years ago Pancho Villa’s men invaded the United States, dozens were killed and an 11-month chase initiated, involving thousands of soldiers. This day, however, was about friendship, and the Cabalgata Binaciónal Villista’s goal is to “unir fronteras” or unite frontiers rather than continuing to divide them. Next year will be special — the 100th anniversary. I plan to be there.

ROOM TO READ LUNCHEON

MAY SELBY

FOUNDED IN NEPAL IN 2000, Room to Read’s roots began as a small nonprofit that brought donated books to rural communities. It has since grown into a global organization with 52 chapters, including one in Aspen, each dedicated to promoting and enabling education and gender equality. On Feb. 21, the Aspen chapter gathered for their annual luncheon at Cloud Nine featuring Room to Read founder John Wood. Now based in

Hong Kong, Wood traveled from afar to be a part of the special occasion held on a blustery winter day up high on Aspen Highlands. He revealed in full details the concept of the “lottery of life” and how many children aren’t presented with opportunities others may take for granted such as a right to an education and encouragement to learn. Through its work building schools and school libraries, publishing local-

language children’s books, training teachers on literacy education and supporting girls to complete secondary school, Room to Read has reached more than 10 million children as of 2015. Since starting the Aspen Valley chapter in 2009, the local arm of Room to Read has made a major impact, raising more than $500,000 to support literacy in developing countries.

‘THE PLOUGHMEN’ VALENTINE MILLIMAKI HAS HIT a stretch of bad luck as Missoula novelist Kim Zupan’s dark, lyrical debut “The Ploughmen” opens. Millimaki, who works for the Copper County sheriff’s department in Montana, is skilled at tracking missing people in the wilderness with his trusty German shepherd, searching for hunters, hikers and wandering children before they succumb to hypothermia. He’s known for his high rate of successes, but over the past year, he has been finding only dead bodies. Millimaki is on call whenever anyone goes missing, but as the newest member of the force, he’s also expected to work the jail’s graveyard shift. This jeopardizes his marriage to a wife he hardly sees, and brings him into the role of a confessor for John Gload, a notorious hit man who has finally been caught. by Dan Feyer / edited by Will Shortz

Gload takes a shine to Millimaki, in part because they both grew up on farms, and begins to regale him with tales of his crimes during the long jailhouse nights. Millimaki’s superiors encourage the conversations, hoping to solve old cases, but even as Millimaki tries to convince himself that he’s only spending time with Gload for information, a twisted friendship blossoms between the two men. As Millimaki’s personal life continues to unravel, and he struggles with unrelenting insomnia, he finds “to his horror that he missed the old man’s company.” Gload, with his massive hands, calm demeanor and “oddly courtly” manners, fits right into the literary tradition of the charismatic killer. He’s a smooth and steady assassin, like Cormac McCarthy’s Anton Chigurh, and can analyze and manipulate others as easily as Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter. 1

In “The Ploughmen,” Zupan, who teaches carpentry at Missoula College, explores the darkest impulses of humanity and sets them alongside the incomparable loveliness of Montana, which he conveys through densely poetic, Faulknerian prose. Millimaki himself marvels at the contrast, wondering, “what in this beautiful country could inspire such evil.” Death and loneliness permeate the vast Western landscape, but the beauty with which Zupan describes them turns “The Ploughmen” into a sort of ornate requiem. “Crows and magpies swarmed the humming power lines overhead,” he writes, “awaiting the tender carrion and greeting with caws and croaks the plentitude of the refulgent day.”
