Phillipe + Jorge’s Cool, Cool World

take it with sugar ANd turN thOse lIghts OFF!; electION FAtIgue; lOcAl NOtes Phillipe and Jorge don’t want

to think the worst about f what’s to come at The Urinal

now that Little Rhody’s organ of record has been sold to New Media Investment Group and its newspaper conglomerate, GateHouse Media. But P&J — often referred to as the Woodward and Bernstein of Vo Dilun investigative journalism (that’s Percy Woodward and Sol Bernstein, best known for revealing former Governor Bruce Sundlun to be an alien sent to Earth from a distant galaxy) — have caught at least one glimpse of what may happen when GateHouse takes the reins.

A January 14, 2013 post from media watchdog Jim Romenesko (jimromensko.com being the place for dirt on all facets of the journalism world) had this report about GateHouse-operated Patriot Ledger and Brockton Enterprise. In a memo, the editor of the papers, Chazy Dowaliby, introduced staffers to new newsroom policies that, if implemented here in the Biggest Little, are no doubt guaranteed to improve local coverage and be enthusiastically embraced by the ink-stained wretches on Fountain Street.

A few highlights:

Folks, As part of a broader effort to contribute to our general economic position as we develop new revenue strategies across the company, we are asking your cooperation with expense saving measures — effective immediately.

1. Absolutely NO overtime without prior approval from an editor 2. No meals, entertainment, food or other miscellaneous expenses may be incurred without prior approval from an editor. [Better hope your editor drinks at the same bar you do! — P&J] 3. We will no longer be able to supply coffee service in our newsrooms. We will use up whatever supplies are currently on hand.

I suggest you bring in a mug or your own disposable cups.

4. We will not be able to provide paper plates, plastic cutlery, cups or napkins.

5. We will not be replacing general office supplies in the short term...Please also consider absolute need before printing in color.

Romenesko followed the memo by pointing out, “While GateHouse can’t find money to buy coffee and office supplies, it managed to scrounge up $800,000 for CEO Michael Reed’s year-end bonus.”

So if you see a BlowJo reporter (technically, we can’t call it the “BeloJo” anymore) nodding off

during a town meeting, or scribbling notes on the back of a crumpled piece of paper taken from their child’s coloring book, or wearing stained clothing that looks like they tried to cut their sausage-andpepper grinder with a #2 pencil and it fell it their lap, know that those innovative, ultra-efficient GateHouse policies have been put into action in Our Little Towne.

UnaccoUntable coUnt

P&J thundered recently about the appalling number of General Assembly seats that will go unchallenged in the November election, with one in four candidates having a cakewalk back to the State House.

But wait, there’s more.

According to the most current totals, 54 of the 113 combined Senate and House seats will be taken by unopposed incumbents. That means nearly half of our state legislature will essentially be beholden to no one — unaccountability

being a primary symptom when pols return to office without having to lift a finger to obtain a vote. This embarrassing and insulting situation provides part of the enormous seed of government corruption in the Biggest Little, as these political hindleggers’ views and votes are never challenged by an election opponent, nor are they brought to task for their “silence of the lambs” attitude toward bills given the grease-and-go by House and Senate leadership. (They go along to avoid the punishment of never seeing their personally-championed legislation pass or their requested community grants awarded, which deprives them of the adoring limelight back home in their districts.)

While one can blame the local GOP and Moderate Party for being practically nonexistent — and by the looks of their current campaigns, still capable of holding

their conventions in broom closets — it is we, the people, who allow this travesty to go on. Yes, it takes guts to run for political office, but the folks returning without a challenge in 2014 aren’t exactly the second comings of John Chafee or Claiborne Pell. We Rhode Islanders, by not running for office or voting, not only lose our bitching rights and any ability to demand responsible governance, but we get just what we deserve: the best politicians money can buy.

Note: Speaking of unappealing candidates, notice that with “dead-broke” Hillary already the presumptive Dem nominee in the 2016 presidential race (please, please, please run, Liz Warren) the Beltway-challenged “pundits” with nothing better to do than watch reruns of themselves on the Salute-to-White-Men Sunday political talk shows are now trying to sell Texas Governor Rick Perry as a viable GOP contender to suc-

ceed Obama. Never mind that he’s dumber than even Dubya Bush, which is really saying something, he evidently fought his way back into the chattering classes’ sights as a “reinvented” politician by donning fake glasses that supposedly make him look more “serious,” and “intelligent.”

P&J aren’t fooled. He’s still a flat-out dope.

FoUlk Fest

Anyone who has dropped into Nick-a-Nee’s (South and Chestnut streets in Providence’s Jewelry District) on a Monday night in the past decade knows about the House Band fronted by the genial Joe Hawk. The bedrock bass player in the band is Mike Foulk (he also plays with the Goods), who is a college professor during daylight hours. Mike has landed a new outof-town professor gig so, though he should be around for the rest of the summer, he’ll be gone when the school year begins.

This Saturday (the 2nd), a lot of his pals will be throwing a big send-off party at Nick-a-Nee’s. The Goods (fronted by Sarah Good), the House Combo, and the Shacklehands will all be playing and there is also “food and debauchery” promised. So, come on down and say goodbye and good luck to Mike.

the PUn show

On Sunday (the 3rd), it’s time for the monthly Empire Revue at AS220. There's a theme every month and this time it’s “The Pun Show,” so prepare to do a lot of groaning. As usual, there will be the house band fronted by Keith Munslow and the improv comedy troupe, the Sparkling Beatniks and, as always, a load of “special guests.” It all starts around 8 pm at 115 Empire St in Providence.

memory lane

The magnificent “Soul Memorial” celebration of the life and music of Dennis McCarthy (who passed away at the beginning of June) took place this past Sunday at the Met, and it reminded members of the Vo Dilun music community of so many of the great musicians who have passed away in recent years. (We’re thinking particularly here of the Pleasure Kings, Thom Enright and Tom DeQuattro.)

But it also reminded us of the beloved Paul Murphy, the superb guitarist who passed away while on tour in Brazil with Duke Robillard 20 years ago.

P&J implore everyone out there to stay healthy. We hate saying goodbye to such great friends. ^

This Just In

“The first thing everybody has to understand is . . . the Journal will never be again what it once was.” _scott mackay

as The ProJo turns

The Journal is sold, but what does it mean?

In February of 1997, two granddaughters of former Providence Journal publisher Stephen O. Metcalf (the first of three successive Metcalfs to hold that position) paid $9828 for a full-page ad in the paper.

“We mourn the sale of the Providence Journal Company to A. H. Belo,” it read. “The news of this transaction was a complete shock and greatly upset us; but more importantly, we are saddened by the loss of the independence of the newspaper and what that has meant for well over 100 years to the citizens of Providence and the State of Rhode Island.”

The sisters were referring to the blockbuster transaction by which that Dallasbased media conglomerate forked over $1.5 billion for the Journal and its handful of local television stations. The deal made Belo “the 10th-largest television group in the country, measured by household reach,” The New York Times reported.

In addition to whatever bitterness the sale left at the Metcalf family dinner table, it also left plenty of uncertainty at Journal HQ. In a follow-up article after the deal closed, the Times wrote, “[T]hese journalists wonder, would Belo one day sell The Journal-Bulletin to a less hospitable chain?”

Seventeen years later, we have an answer — or, at least, a partial one. Last week, on the day after the Journal celebrated its 185th anniversary, the paper announced it would be sold for $46 million to a new chain: the New Media Investment Group, parent company of GateHouse Media.

But will this new owner be “less hospitable” than Belo, as Journal staffers once feared?

It’s impossible to say at this point. But we still went searching for answers to three pressing questions.

WHO ARE THE JOURNAL’S NEW OWNERS?

In this post-Metcalf world, it can feel like you need an MBA just to understand who, exactly, is buying the ProJo. One way of describing the situation, it seems, is to say “a post-bankruptcy media conglomerate called GateHouse Media now operating under a parent company, the New Media Investment Group, which itself is owned by a larger firm called Fortress Investment Group LLC, which manages over $60 billion in assets from offices all over the world.”

Got that Another way is to say that the Journal will soon be owned by a huge-assed, nonlocal, megacompany with a portfolio of “451 community publications, 367 related websites, and six yellow page directories” that “operate[s] in 363 markets across 27 states.”

These are the Big Boys . . . even if they’re “New Media” Big Boys who brag about how many yellow page directories they own.

The company does not enjoy the greatest reputation. As Philippe and Jorge mention this week (see page 4), readers of the journogossip warehouse, jimromenesko.com, know that GateHouse is infamous for a 2013 memo sent to employees at two of its Massachusetts papers, The Brockton Enterprise and the Quincy’s Patriot Ledger, announcing, “We will no longer be able to supply coffee service in

RIchaRd mccaffREy

f

DaRk Days aHEaD? No one knows for sure. our newsrooms.” More recently, the alt-weekly Illinois Times (which follows GateHouse news after the company purchased Springfield’s State Journal-Register) quoted a “former GateHouse employee” who said, “You seen Goodfellas? . . . GateHouse is like Paulie when he buys that guy’s restaurant, runs up bills on the joint’s credit, then has Joe Pesci burn it down when he can’t extract any more money from it.”

Yikes.

Closer to home, Bill Ostendorf, a former Journal managing editor who has worked with hundreds of print media outlets as president of the East Providence-based Creative Circle Media Consulting, also describes the situation in blunt terms. “These people are an investment firm that’s looking for a high rate of return,” he says. “They didn’t buy the Journal to advance journalism. They bought the Journal to increase margins. That’s what investment firms do.”

This brings us to our second question.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR THE PROVIDENCE JOURNAL?

First, let’s all blow a farewell kiss to the A.H. Belo Corporation which, through a toxic combination of action and inaction, leaves the Journal in substantially worse shape than when it was first acquired.

Yes, the news staff has done admirable, often excellent, work in the interim; think of their Station fire coverage or recent series on Rhode Island’s fatal overdose crisis. But, nevertheless, the Belo Years in Providence will be remembered for layoffs, buyouts, precipitous drops in revenue and circulation, and the bonuses Belo execs took home while all of the aforementioned shit rained down in Rhode Island. One former Journal reporter’s 2001 comments to a Texas public radio station seem to speak for the entire era: “The morale is just terrible . . . There is a lot of deep despair and anxiety there.”

So, what does the future hold?

Unfortunately, probably more bloodletting. “I think any chain coming in, buying

The Providence Journal, is going to make some cuts,” says Northeastern University journalism professor and former Boston Phoenix media columnist, Dan Kennedy. “That’s just part of the deal: you take on quite a bit of expense to buy the paper and one of the ways that you pay for it is that you cut expenses.” Kennedy says he’s “skeptical but also a little bit optimistic” about the situation, with that spark of hope coming from the chance that last year’s bankruptcy may have softened GateHouse’s approach to slashing costs.

Ostendorf, on the other hand, doesn’t harbor much hope. “I think they’ll cut the newsroom by a third or half,” he says, citing the company’s practice of farming out copyediting and page design to offices in Austin, Texas.

Meanwhile, former longtime Journal reporter and current political analyst for Rhode Island Public Radio, Scott MacKay — who is quick to say, “Anybody who tells you they know how this is going to turn out, I don’t believe ’em” — tossed out the possibility that post-acquisition, GateHouse-wide trimming might actually work in the ProJo’s favor. “It just depends how they consolidate,” he says. “Do they consolidate, say, their New England operations at the Journal? That would be good for the Journal and bad for [papers in] places like Fall River and New Bedford.”

In that same conversation, though, MacKay also said, “The first thing everybody has to understand is . . . the Journal will never be again what it once was.”

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR RHODE ISLAND?

The “what if?”s are already flying.

This week, The Providence Business News reported that Fresh Start LLC — the local group including developer “Buff” Chace, Warwick Beacon/Cranston Herald publisher John Howell, Providence Monthly/East Side Monthly publisher Barry Fain, and East Bay Newspapers owner Matthew Hayes that vied to purchase the paper — had plans to use the media assets it

already owned to steer the Journal back toward the locally-driven, bureaus-everywhere-youturn presence of its heyday. But, according to PBN, the group came up “roughly $10 million short” in its bid.

Then, again, this loss might actually turn out to be a win. “It’s plausible that the very people who were trying to buy the Journal could thrive because it’s being bought by somebody who will reduce local coverage and it might allow them to do better and invest more” in their own publications, Ostendorf says.

GoLocalProv, meanwhile, in its own inimitable way, is already claiming this as a victory. “[I]f the [Journal] is treated more like a piggy bank for a massive Wall Street hedge fund instead of a beloved community news organization, the only thing that can happen is that we [see] increased market share of alternative, free media organizations like GoLocalProv.com,” columnist Russell J. Moore wrote. We only wish they gave that piece the headline it deserved: “ProJo Sale Helps GoLocal, says GoLocal.”

We should mention that we repeatedly reach out to both Providence Journal and GateHouse/New Media executives for comment, but we received no response. (Journal reporter and Providence Newspaper Guild president John Hill told us he wanted to hold off making any substantive comments until the deal is 100 percent signed and completed.)

But this doesn’t leave us entirely emptyhanded. On July 23, GateHouse CEO Kirk Davis took out a full-page ad on page A3 of the Journal titled, “A Note to Providence Journal Readers.” Depending on your level of cynicism, it’s either a) legitimately reassuring, or b) a savvy lullaby from a guy who knows exactly what to say.

Highlights include:

• We recognize and value the company’s iconic brand,

its tradition of providing award-winning journalism, and its important role in serving Greater Providence and Rhode Island.

• We enter your market committed to supporting a journalistically proud, sustainable, agile, and innovative organization, and we are committed to upholding the high standards and unquestioned integrity that you have come to expect from The Providence Journal.

• We believe that newspapers will continue to be the leading source of local information for their communities for decades to come.

• We also believe that succeeding in the future will require investment in new forms of media, new methods of reporting, and new ways of helping you to stay informed.

• The purchase is expected to close later this summer.

We are looking forward to welcoming the readers, advertisers, and employees of The Providence Journal to our family.

So, there you have it.

Feel free to disregard all of those dire predictions about the ProJo’s future, because, as readers, advertisers, employees, and owners of The Providence Journal, we’re all “family” now. And family members don’t lay each other off, en masse, or mercilessly scrape the remaining value from faltering civic institutions and leave them for dead.

Right?

All thAt jAzz

Celebrating 60 years of ameriCa’s musiC at the newport fests _by p h il ip e il Once upon a time, hosting a jazz festival in Newport was a radical idea — dangerous, even.

“One society dowager took out special Festival insurance each year to cover any damage that might result from the crowds,” author/ photographer Burt Goldblatt wrote in 1977’s Newport Jazz Festival: The Illustrated History. “Mrs. Louise Brugiere, the reigning queen of Newport society, said she would spend $10 million if necessary to keep the Festival out of Newport.”

Those early doubters were both right and wrong. In future years, the Festival would indeed bring riots, destruction, tear gas, booze, and blood to the streets of the famously prim and proper seaside town — so much that producer George Wein took the fest elsewhere for nearly all of the 1970s. But the Festival also brought incalculable cultural riches to Rhode Island: decades of stars, stories, and glorious solos drifting up toward the summer sky. George Wein — who, at age 88, still spends nights scouting Festival

f

Why? It’s simply most famous solo in the festival’s history.

Though he was a titan of the jazz world, Ellington was exhausted and financially strained when he rolled into Newport in 1956. Ken Burns’s documentary series, Jazz, describes the situation. “[He] saw the festival as a chance to reinvigorate his career, and he did something he had never done: he gave a pep talk to his men before they went on stage.”

It worked.

Toward the end of the show, as Gonsalves stepped up for a solo on the thumping, uptempo “Diminuendo,” guests who had been walking toward the exits stopped and turned back.

A young woman with blonde hair jumped up from her seat and began to dance excitedly. The band played with more and more intensity, as Ellington signaled for Gonsalves’s solo to keep going and going and going, despite Wein’s efforts to rein it in from the side of the stage, for fear it would incite a riot. The crowd demanded four encores.

For years afterward, Ellington was known to tell people, “I was born at the Newport Jazz Festival, July 7, 1956.”

enthusiasm, however, led me to widen the scope of my ambition.”

The couple soon offered a $20,000 budget and Wein went to work, arranging a venue (the Newport Casino), performers (Dizzy Gillespie, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Ella Fitzgerald) and panel discussions (“The Place of Jazz in American Culture”). The event, which took place July 17 and 18, was a smash. More than 11,000 guests showed up across two nights, and The Providence Journal wrote, “To say the whole affair was a success is a considerable understatement.”

A lengthy write-up in the August 15, 1954 New Yorker captured Wein’s enthusiasm.

“This town will never be the same again,” he said at Louis and one point. “We could make Elaine Lorillard with Newport the jazz center of the George Wein world. What Salzburg is to Mozart! What Bayreuth is to Wagner! What Tanglewood is to classical music! That’s what we could talent at Manhattan clubs — didn’t make Newport be to jazz!” receive this country’s highest jazz honor, a National Endowment for the Arts “Jazz Master” award, for nothing.

Of the sight — which involved broken storefront glass, canisters of tear gas fired by state troopers, and plenty of bloody heads — one Providence Journal reporter says, “I have experienced genuine fear twice in my life. Once was in combat in Europe during World War II; the other was Saturday night in Newport during the riot by drunken, wild-eyed young people.”

“The final evening belonged to Frank Sinatra,” Goldblatt writes in The Illustrated History. The 39-yearold singer made a regal entrance, complete with a cordon of 30 police officers circling his helicopter’s landing site; a second helicopter for his conductor for evening, Quincy Jones; 280 seats in the front of the audience reserved for his friends; and an edict from his handlers that the press can only snap photographs during the show’s first five minutes.

Goldblatt describes the scene at 9:30 pm, when the singer takes the stage: “Oscar Peterson had appeared briefly before Sinatra, and [Count] Basie had played a couple of numbers — both to no avail. The people wanted Sinatra, and Sinatra only. They got him. From the moment he stepped onstage with a short monologue — ‘With all those beards in the audience it looks like a state home for the hip’ — to his roaring off into high gear with ‘Get Me To the Church On Time’ — he had them in the palm of his hand.

Hitting the high notes

Leave the improv to the musicians — pLan ahead for the jazz fest _by Jim maCnie

FRIDAY

you wanted more, you got more. thanks in advance to this year’s newport Jazz festival and its extra day of action at fort adams. the programming has been truly impressive in the last several years, and the 2014 edition — 60th anniversary, y’all — invites even more improvisers to the scene, kicking off on friday at noon. the cornerstone attraction? a glorious mitzvah from team wein: the two-and-a-half-hour Masada Marathon. John Zorn has said his ever-expanding book for this project represents a way of mixing “ornette Coleman and Jewish scales.” riding radtrad impulses, the masada material (more than 500 pieces so far) has become one of the most enticing canons in modern improvised music. a number of ensembles — including bar KoKhba, dreaMers, abraxas, and the original masada quartet of dave douglas, greg Cohen, Joey baron, and Zorn — will interpret the tunes. some will be electric, one will feature a string trio, and cellist eriK Friedlander will perform solo. Variety is central here. on record, the music’s breadth is overwhelming.

“Zechriel” is a slinky ode that lets guitarist marc ribot wax eerie. “hashul” unites Kenny wollesen’s vibraphone and Jamie saft’s piano in an mJQ surf-rock samba distillation. “lilin” is maniacal turbulence that contours skronk while swerving through Zorn’s beloved pan-genre mise-en-scène. the leader’s coterie is a who’s who of new york improvisers. never had the Zorn experience? here’s your shot. he’s a marvel. there’s a grand unity in darCy JaMes argue’s seCret soCiety work. sustaining a big band is a tough job, but the nyCbased composer’s outfit always plays tight and uses its unity to explode the music’s varied emotions. last year’s Brooklyn Babylon (new amsterdam) was awash in moods and tones, conjuring Copeland, referencing piazzolla, and using his 18-piece ensemble to create swinging excursions and dreamy reveries.

Don’t miss the trees for the forest. several members — baritone saxophonist Josh sinton, for example — are superb soloists. you can’t play alto sax and not tip the hat to bird in some way. rudresh Mahanthappa is one of the instrument’s most vital players these days — his fierce attack gooses his fleet runs to build an imposing sound. he’s unveiling his Charlie parKer proJeCt at fort adams, a series of original pieces that reference the master’s bop frenzy while digging into the kind of animation pianist matt mitchell, bassist françois moutin, and drummer rudy royston can conjure. there’s lots of finesse in the air with these guys, and they’ll definitely hit it hard. i caught Mostly other people do the Killing doing the music from Red Hot (hot Cup) in January, and their idiosyncratic swirl of in and out couldn’t have been better balanced. the album harks to louis armstrong, King oliver, and other early jazz sources from new orleans and Chicago and they milk the material for all it’s worth. humor is key to the mopDtK vibe — they explode polyphonic glee while cranking out witty solos. augmented by banjo player brandon seabrook, bass trombonist David taylor, and pianist ron stabinsky, the band is thick with sound. slide trumpeter, early jazz encyclopedia, and sex mob hero steven bernstein is also part of today’s show.

Miguel Zenón has spent the last several albums examining the cultural particulars of his puerto rican homeland. from the propulsion of plena drumming to the sentiment of the island’s classic songs, he infused them with an intrepid jazz spin. last year’s Oye!!! (miel) was a live shot with an electric band that reminded us just how hot his alto sax burns. this year’s newport gig features an extended new piece, “identities are Changeable,” written for a large ensemble. it’s inspired by the notion of outsiders — puerto ricans living in the us and hanging on tight to their history while establishing themselves for the future. i haven’t heard the music yet, but elaborate rhythm is certainly part of it. few bandleaders are able to make intricate beats stack up to a groove-driven experience like Zenón.

because those soloists include virtuosos like pianist Craig taborn and guitarist Kevin eubanks, the events become thick with aggression. Complex time signatures can befuddle audiences, but the inner groove that prism brings to the fore pretty much defines the term “wicked interplay.” i found their debut disc a tad too steely, but they’ve been working these tunes for a year, and by all reports they’re ultra-limber. last year the italian pianist steFFano bollani dropped a duet disc with brazilian bandolim virtuoso hamilton de holanda — it was quite seductive. both musicians dedicate themselves to chasing lyricism, regardless of where their ideas might lead, and O Que Será (eCm) is a live shot that proved they were an inspired pairing. from the agitated counterpoint of “guarda Che luna” to the lockstep fantasia of “Caprichos De espanha” to the soft romance of “luiza,” the brazilian choro grooves are bent in all sorts of ways. bollani knows about the subtleties of the duo format — he’s cut impressive dates with Chick Corea and enrico rava. the give-and-take action is central to their success, and both parties make sure the rhythmic thrust is obvious. need a big dose of pleasure? the JaZZ at linColn Center orChestra’s romps through the classics are seldom less than sublime. i spent some time absorbing their shows on youtube last month, and i’m recalling a version of Joe henderson’s “inner urge” that just slayed. leader Wynton Marsalis remains a discriminating boss, carrying out his mission of schooling the planet on the jewels of jazz literature while also playing the hell out of that horn. they have a terrific way with ellington, and fingers crossed that they roll through “shout ’em aunt tillie,” “the mooche,” or other nuggets — at their best, they make the music absolutely sing.

canon while reimagining his classics “spain,” “Crystal silence,” and “500 miles high.” Keep an eye out for their secret weapon: pianist ed simon. prepare for a few fans to swoon when CéCile MClorin salvant starts to work her magic. the acclaimed singer has burst onto scene in recent years, winning the national thelonious monk Competition in 2010, performing killer concerts — her depth of onstage authority rivals her impressive vocal skills — and dropping a critics’ consensus album last year, the thoroughly entertaining Woman Child (mack avenue). her phrasing is a parade of subtleties; she knows how to “act out” a lyric, and she knows how to swing. she will charm everyone within earshot. there’s a macho attitude in the music of dave holland’s prisM. the veteran bassist sanctions a series of funk-rock rhythms to be stacked atop each other, and encourages his band to craft ornery solos throughout the patterns.

the sFJaZZ ColleCtive is a west Coast parallel to the new york’s Jazz at lincoln Center operation — an ongoing ensemble with a permanent home that celebrates repertory aspects of the music while leaving plenty of room for present tense creativity and original compositions. throughout its decade-long existence, Joshua redman, Joe lovano, and Dave Douglas have had a hand in steering its direction. miguel Zenón has been central to its thrust for the last few years, saluting everyone from monk to horace silver to stevie wonder. their latest nod is to Chick Corea, and they bring plenty of verve to the pianist’s

want to hit it from the jump on sunday? arrive on time and don’t miss the CooKers. the septet is made up of vets whose vigor reaches out and pushes you around a bit. each time i’ve caught them in the last few years, there has been an obvious weight to the music; their collective volition moves the action to a stately and swinging place. a lot of it comes from billy harper’s tenor, often the site of thoughtful eruptions. but it takes the entire group to generate this heady vibe. eddie henderson’s forthright trumpeting, billy hart’s fluid kick on drums — it all adds up to very physical music that has a singular sense of wisdom about it. trumpeter David weiss is the band’s straw boss; his guidance has led them to make three strong albums. Check “free for all” from Believe (motéma) — you’ll get the picture in an instant. the charged eloquence of the viJay iyer triohas nudged the pianist into a larger profile these last few years. with bassist stephan Crump and drummer marcus gilmore uniting for one of modern jazz’s most playful and potent rhythm sections, the group is an exemplar of art that seduces with spontaneity and substance. this year the macarthur award winner introduces his sextet to fort adams; the addition of saxophonists mark shim and steve lehman and trumpeter graham haynes brings more girth to the bandstand, but methinks the agility that earned the iyer trio its acclaim will still be front and center. he’s pushing 90, but lee KonitZ continues to make amazing music. the alto saxophonist is an improviser first and foremost. his interpretation of standards hews to the notion that invented melodies and go-anywhere interplay are paramount to the creative process — creativity will carry the day. his recent hookup with pianist Dan tepfer has been a blessing for both parties. they’re just back from a french duo run, and this weekend’s quartet — rounded out by bassist Jeremy stratton and drummer george schuller — should have lots of fun following lee’s lead. saxophonist graCe Kelly will join the band during their set. wayne shorter pianist and beloved boston educator danilo péreZ is known for the shine that he gives panama — the traditions of his native country contour his work at a composer. Panama 500 (mack avenue) salutes the Central american nation’s 500th anniversary using a feisty band to scrutinize everything from balboa’s historic arrival to rural village frolic. his trio, with bassist ben street and adam Cruz on drums, couldn’t be tighter. they play often and push each other to the limits. there are plenty of other don’t-miss shows. as you’re heading from stage to stage, be sure to catch trumpeter aMir elsaFFar, brian blade & the FelloWship band, and gregory porter. nothing but options this year. ^

1981

1969

When it comes to this year’s music festivals, the Woodstock Music & Art Fair (August 15-17) and its illfated West Coast sibling, the Altamont Speedway Free Festival (December 6) understandably get most of the attention.

But consider this lineup from July 3 to 6 at Newport’s Festival Field: George Benson, Bill Evans, Freddie Hubbard, Anita O’Day, Sun Ra, Jimmy Smith, Jeff Beck, Jethro Tull, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, Dave Brubeck, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown, Herbie Hancock, Buddy Rich, and Led Zeppelin.

No, “Led Zeppelin,” is not a typo.

There are more crowd issues.

1971

This year’s festival will forever be remembered not for the lineup (Freddie Hubbard, Ornette Coleman, Roberta Flack, Duke Ellington, Buddy Rich), but for what happened as Dionne Warwick sang “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” when a fence at the perimeter of the venue burst and hundreds of youth poured in. Chaos.

Again, Goldblatt: “When the fence gave way, MF Father Norman O’Connor came onstage with Wein to plead with the invaders. ‘We’re trying to do a thing here. This is the only town that lets us in, and you can wipe us out,’ Wein pleaded. ‘You’ve got the whole thing in your hands!’ ...The stage was soon overflowing with a mad band of freaks, who ripped the piano lid off and started to dance around wildly, breaking light fixtures and tearing and destroying anything they could get their hands on.”

On the advice of the police chief, Newport city manager B. Cowles Mallory orders the event closed after the riot. “It was the end of the Newport Festival at Newport, Rhode Island,” Goldblatt writes.

1972-’80

The show goes on for the Newport Jazz Festival . . . but not in Newport.

For the next nine years, it moves to New York City, where it inhabits various venues, including Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Yankee Stadium, and even the Staten Island Ferry. In 1973, the Fest travels north to Boston’s Fenway Park for the “Newport New England Jazz Festival,” featuring Stevie Wonder, B.B. King, Charles Mingus, Freddie Hubbard, and Rahsaan Roland Kirk. In 1978, Wein launches another offshoot in Saratoga Springs, New York.

1984

By now, Wein is producing jazz festivals in New York; Los Angeles; London; Nice, France; Madarao, Japan; and the West German resort town, Bad Segeberg, among other locales. Back “home” in Newport meanwhile, the festival — which, this year, swaps sponsorship from Kool cigarettes for the audio/video hardware manufacturer, JVC — features Miles Davis, Ray Charles, B.B. King, the Dave Brubeck Quartet, David Sanborn, and the Dizzy Gillespie All Stars.

“What was a festival to me?” he writes of the fest’s origins. “I had no rule book to go by. I knew it had to be something unique, that no jazz fan had ever been exposed to. I remembered my nights in New York City when I had started off in Greenwich Village at 8 pm, gone to Harlem, and ended up seven hours later at 52nd Street.

I could never get enough jazz. I heard Dixieland, big bands, swing, unique singers, and modern jazz. If this is what I loved, then that was what should appeal to any jazz fan. I’m sure that that was what directed my concept of the first Newport Jazz Festival.”

Sizing up his legacy on the book’s final pages, he writes, “Jazz is a dirty word no longer.”

2007

Festival attendees would not be in Rhode Island if it were not for the Festivals. For 89.1% of respondents, The Festivals and Newport are destination events. If the Festivals were not in Newport, neither would the dollars these attendees are spending.”

2013

Ben Ratliff’s New York Times review includes this sweeping assessment: “The Newport Jazz Festival, which ended Sunday at Fort Adams State Park here, is 59 now. It had early brilliance followed by middle-age aesthetic confusion, edging into pop and smooth jazz. Over the last nine years, it has corrected its course, entering a new period of steadiness and dignity as it seeks a new framing of jazz — and of its own audience . . . Newport, with all the important recordings generated from its past and its career-making (or career-saving) performances, is genuinely tied up with the story of modern jazz.”

2014

There are too many superstars on this year’s bill — Bobby McFerrin, Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, Dr. John, Danilo Pérez — to individually extol. So instead we’ll focus on a slightly lesser known performer making her Newport debut. Her name is Cecile McLorin Salvant. She is 24 years old (she’s been playing piano since age five and singing since 8). She likes to dig up obscure tunes from the early 20th century, then breathe new life into them with an astonishingly beautiful voice.

And she arrives at Fort Adams Park steeped in the festival’s lore. When we asked what this performance means to her, she mentioned being “a little bit obsessed” with Jazz On a Summer’s Day, Bert Stern’s documentary from the 1958 festival.

“I remember watching [that] video of Anita O’Day wearing this outrageous hat and these amazing gloves that match the hat [and] this gorgeous black dress, on the stage [in front of] all these really hip audience members with crazy glasses eating ice cream outside in the sun, and her singing ‘Tea for Two,’ and I thought it was so cool,” she says. “That video [was] really the beginning of my getting into jazz, of learning about all different singers.

“There’s a huge really geeky part of me that’s freaking out,” she adds. “Because I know that I’ll be able to be in that scene, almost — in my head, at least.” ^ The Newport Jazz Festival will take place August 1, 2, and 3 at Fort Adams State Park (84 Fort Adams Dr), with music from 11 am to 7 pm each day.

“Had there been a roof at the festival, Brubeck would have torn it off,” the Boston Globe’s Steve Greenlee writes of the 86-year-old’s set, which includes a “Take Five” finale.

Another highlight (albeit one that continues the Festival’s tradition of bending the In honor of the NJF’s impenddefinition of “jazz”) is a tuxedo-wearing ing 40th anniversary, George Al Green on the Main Stage, singing “Love Wein and the festival are honored with and Happiness,” “Let’s Get Married,” and a one-day mini-fest under a tent on the “Let’s Stay Together.”

White House’s South Lawn. Before the Elaine Lorillard passes away a few months later.

Bill Clinton and friends Her New York Times obituary — “Elaine Lorillard, 93, a Founder of the Newport Jazz Festival, Is Dead” — includes this anecdote: “It was a casual remark during intermission at a classical concert in Newport in 1953 that inspired the Lorillards to sponsor the first Newport Jazz Festival. Mrs. Lorillard, already a jazz fan, was seated next to John Maxon, then head of the Rhode Island School of show, President Bill Clinton — who later Design Museum. ‘It’s too bad we can’t grabs his saxophone to join a jam onstage do something like this for jazz,’ he said.

After nearly a decade in exile, the festival returns to Newport with a new home (Fort Adams State Park), earlier hours (the music ends at 6:30 pm), a firm cap on attendance (5000), and what press reports describe as a “picnicand-blanket-style, family-oriented atmosphere.” There’s no Led Zeppelin here; the lineup leans heavily on traditional acts, including the Dexter Gordon Quartet, Nancy Wilson, McCoy Tyner, Dave Brubeck, Buddy Rich, and Lionel Hampton and His All-Star Band. Yachts are invited to anchor in nearby Newport Harbor, where passengers can listen for free.

Of the fest’s return to the Ocean State, George Wein says, “What happened in the early ’70s was an inevitable happening of the times. The youth were just not interested in obeying the rules. If they didn’t want to pay for a concert, they didn’t pay.

They just broke fences down. That era is over. There haven’t been any incidents like that in a long time in America.”

Choosing your favorite IPA is like choosing your favorite child — it’s neither possible nor fair. For me, it always depends on the mood and the situation. Only have time for one, and looking for a bitter IPA? That one has to be SMUTTyNOSE FINESTkIND IPA. It just crushes your taste buds with great flavor and bitterness. For an all-night IPA, FIRESTONE WALkER’s UNION JACk is hard to beat for a greattasting, citrus-filled IPA. At 7.5% ABV, it will sneak up on you, but the flavor and balance is tough to beat.

For a double IPA, I like DEvIANT DALE’S from OSkAR BLUES — it’s not listed as a double, but I think it is. It comes in a can, a big can — 16 ounces, it’s 8%ABV, it’s hoppy. What’s not to like?

Favorite RI IPA: I’ve only had it once, but I was very impressed with PROCLAMATION’s TENDRIL. I look forward to seeing that one in cans or bottles.

BRIAN OAKLEY

GENERAL MANAGER, JULIAN’S, PROvIDENCE My go-to as of late has been FOUNDERS’ ALL DAy IPA. Low-octane, easy-drinking,

and a nice, crisp, bitter taste with a light body — totally perfect for summer.

As for an all-time fave in the straight IPA category, I have to say SMUTTyNOSE FINESTkIND. They recently tweaked their recipe and it is drinking better than ever.

If I was going to pick a double or imperial IPA I would certainly say DOGFISH HEAD 90 MINUTE or any of the STONE ENJOy By series . . . and though it is not technically an imperial IPA, DOGFISH HEAD’s BURTON BATON, which is a hybrid style that blends an imperial IPA and an English-style Old Ale and ages it on oak, is one of my absolute faves.

Keeping it local is awesome: I love the FOOLPROOF BACkyAHD IPA, but nothing can taste better than DECADENCE when it is on at TRINITy BREWHOUSE. Note: Julian’s will celebrate IPA Day with 14 special hop-driven beers on tap. Check their Facebook page for details.

LARRY BROWN

RI WRITER @ YANKEE BREW NEWS I’ve been doing “research” into IPAs for

several years, and decided to let my purchasing patterns do the voting. When I see MAINE BEER COMPANy’s LUNCH, I buy Maine Beer Company’s Lunch. BALLAST POINT’s SCULPIN runs a close second. I acquire larger than usual quantities of LAGUNITAS SUCkS when it makes its annual appearance. vICTORy’s DIRTWOLF also did some damage to my bank statements this winter.

On the local front, I enjoy elements of all of the RI IPAs, but PROCLAMATION’s TENDRIL is the one I order most. A couple of the local breweries are working on DIPAs, so it may be early to declare a favorite, but TRINITy’s DECADENCE is one I order without fail. I really liked FOOLPROOF’s kING OF THE yAHD this year, and that one is interesting because it demonstrates the impact of the different hop varieties. They used the same malt profile as last year, but changed the hops, and the difference between the two releases is pretty dramatic.

KRISTIE MARTIN & ASHLEIGH BENNETT

TWO GIRLS, ONE BEER [TWOGIRLSONEBEER.COM] ASHLEIGH: My favorite RI-made IPA is TRINITy IPA. Not only is it the flavor of

this beer, but it’s the experiences that go with it. It makes me think of the first time I tried it, hanging out at the Hot Club with some friends on a sultry summer afternoon. One of my go-to bottled IPAs. My favorite IPA is FIRESTONE WALkER’s UNION JACk. This is a West Coast-style IPA, and while it’s bursting with hints of citrus and pineapple-scented hops, it’s balanced by sweet malty goodness. kRISTIE: My favorite RI-made IPA is TENDRIL from PROCLAMATION ALE, with big tangerine and piney deliciousness, but kept in check by a solid malt backbone. As for an IPA that you can pick up in Rhode Island, though only on precious occasions, my favorite is MAINE BEER COMPANy’s LUNCH — it’s like squeezing a fresh grapefruit. I’m in love with anything from MBC. All their beers are clean, fresh, and well-executed.

DAVE WITHAM

PRESIDENT/BREWMASTER, PROCLAMATION ALE CO. IPA: FIRESTONE WALkER UNION JACk. Imperial: FIRESTONE WALkER DOUBLE JACk. Both beers are balanced but have a great hop nose and flavor.

DIANE ASCENCAO

OWNER, MADEIRA LIQUORS, PROvIDENCE I love IPAs, they are by far my favorite type of beer! And how lucky we are to be living in the heyday of IPA! My all-time favorite is SIERRA NEvADA’s TORPEDO. I love its big bold flavor, the citrus, the piney, herbal character, and it finishes with the right amount of bite. It’s just a gem of a IPA! My second pick is SMUTTyNOSE’s FINESTkIND IPA — it’s hoppy, crisp, and just plain delicious! Third is GREEN FLASH BREWING’s GREEN BULLET; it’s a more complex IPA with citrus flavors and undertones of pine and floral hops.

There is also a very clean sweet malt flavor at the end.

My homegrown favorite is FOOLPROOF’s BACkyAHD IPA. I love its hoppy and citrusy taste. It’s a very easy-drinking IPA and my go-to recommendation for customers first trying an IPA.

SAM GLyNN

OWNER/OPERATOR, CHOMP kITCHEN AND DRINkS IPAs are, without a doubt, my favorite style of craft beer. How could one not like the complexity of a great IPA with the notes of citrus, pine, or resin? A great IPA doesn’t have to have a huge ABV or IBU, but one with a well-rounded nose, flavor, and finish leaves you feeling refreshed, not feeling buzzed after two sips.

LAGUNITAS IPA is my favorite beer.

Its West Coast hops and nice malt backbone balance the beer and makes it a winner for anyone who tries it. At 6.2% ABV and only 42 IBUs, mixed with the right amount of citrus/resin, it’s a home run for me — just what you want from a wellrounded IPA.

CHUCk BORkOSkI

vICE-PRESIDENT/GENERAL MANAGER, ELEvATED SPIRITS Aaaarghh . . . hands down my favorite IPA is HEAvy SEAS’ LOOSE CANNON. On tap, in a 12-ounce bottle, or its cask version dispensed from a beer engine, nothing satisfies my craving for hops like Loose Cannon.

Another great alternative for IPA lovers is the

WACHUSETT CELEBRATION OF IPA mix pack of 12-ounce cans: WACHUSETT LIGHT IPA; LARRy, a

heavyweight, packing 85 IBUs and 8.5% ABV; their original “purple” IPA; and the West Coast-inspired GREEN MONSTA. It’s an outstanding collection of hoppy greatness!

NICk GARRISON

PRESIDENT & FOUNDER, FOOLPROOF BREWING COMPANy There are a lot of mixed feelings about the current “session IPA” craze going on right now. I’m a big fan because it’s summertime, and the style combines two of my favorite things — hops and drinkability. Of that subset, I enjoy FOUNDERS’ ALL DAy, STONE’s GO TO, and FIRESTONE WALkER’s

EASy JACk, but I’m sure there are dozens more that I haven’t had the pleasure of tasting yet.

Locally, I have to give a shoutout to Dave at PROCLAMATION who has put together a fantastic IPA with TENDRIL.

SEAN ROBINSON

CRAFT BEER MANAGER, C&C DISTRIBUTORS My favorite IPA is STONE IPA. This West

Coast-style IPA packs a nice hop punch and has the perfect combination of great citrus flavors and bitterness. I find myself gravitating back to this even when there are a number of special release IPAs available in the market.

My recent go-to double IPA is vICTORy’s DIRTWOLF. Great aroma and perfectly balanced. I really enjoy the flavors of all of the hops in this beer (Citra, Simcoe, Chinook, and Mosaic) and at 8.7%, it drinks nicely at such a reasonable ABV.

TROY CABRAL

CRAFT BEER MANAGER, HIGH SPIRITS, PROvIDENCE All-time favorite: FLyING DOG’s WILDEMAN FARMHOUSE IPA. I’m partial to this

Belgian IPA because so much flavor gets impacted into the beer without it seeming heavy-handed. Wildeman was the first truly balanced BelgianAmerican IPA that I had.

It has a slightly maltier backbone than your average farmhouse ale, with a thirst-quenching East Coast-style finish that’s perfect for a hot summer day.

Current favorite: LONG TRAIL’s LIMBO. It has a tropical nose, earthy hop profile, and a juicy, wellrounded flavor. It’s blazed a trail for new IPAs to follow. Limbo-ness is next to godliness.

Favorite local/double IPA: REvIvAL’s DOUBLE BLACk IPA. How much flavor can you pack into a beer? Revival Double Black accepts the challenge and sets the bar.

So dark. So malty. So delicious. This is one that never disappoints. ^

homegrown product raise your paws for a cause music for paws: a pet-friendly block party at dusk _by c h ris co n t i Dusk is the place to be this Saturday (the 2nd) for Music For Paws, an all-day (and -night) pet-friendly block party benefiting the Bristol Animal Shelter. The event is loaded with plenty of outdoor family fun and activities during the day, followed by some of RI’s finest rocking out straight through the evening on the Dusk stage. All of the proceeds will benefit Friends of the Bristol Animal Shelter (friendsofthebristolanimalshelter. org), a non-profit organization devoted to assisting the town’s no-kill animal shelter.

The event was spearheaded by local musicians Davey Moore (Satellites Fall and co-founder of Midday Records) and Garrity siblings Tracy and Shawn (of VulGarrity), who formed the charitable collaboration Music For Paws earlier this year. Dusk (and Rottweiler) owner Rick Sunderland jumped onboard, and I chimed in with some input on an all-star lineup, which includes B. Dolan (and his live band!), Gertrude Atherton, Jay Berndt & the Orphans, Viking Jesus, and plenty more, all for just a $10 donation at the door.

The outdoor block party runs from noon to 5 pm, with vendors and food trucks on site, a wide array of familyfriendly activities (from face-painting to animal psychic readings), and acoustic sets from Malyssa BellaRosa, Ants In the Cellar, and more. After 5 pm the action moves indoors with a special appearance by the acclaimed Seekonk School of Rock leading off and monstrous headliner Extinction Machine closing out the festivities.

I checked in with some of the performers about a beloved pet in their lives, either past or present (because who doesn’t love showing off their furry friends?). Check it out below, and I hope to see you at Dusk on Saturday!

f

davey Moore, Satellites Fall (satellitesfall.com) and Midday Records (middayrecords.com): This is our rescue boxer, Maddie. They never gave us full details but we were told she was “severely abused” and as a result, “dangerously aggressive.” They tried to talk us of out adopting her. They said she wasn’t safe or fit for adoption and they had to put her down. Needless to say, we weren’t going to let that happen. She didn’t trust anyone and did not like being told what to do. This pic is from one of the first times she felt comfortable enough to fall asleep with me.

I continued to work with her. I gave her as much love and affection as I did discipline and direction, when needed.

Today, Maddie is an angel. She is my baby girl and a part of our family, and I couldn’t be more thankful for that.

(My apologies for the bedroom eyes.)

traCy garrity, VulGarrity (vulgarrity.com): One day

my father rushed through the door from work soaked and distraught — “I found this dog, roaming around work.

He’s soaking wet and shaken up.” We called the shelter and put an ad in the paper. My mother named him Beau, a shepherd/Husky mix. No one ever claimed him and

thank God because he ended up being the rock of our family for the following 11 years. Beau was our baseball team’s mascot — he would wear his Dodgers shirt at all the games and howl at the intercom because that’s what Huskies do. He was petrified of the newspaper, the basement, and leather gloves.

Looking back on our childhood, I think about how much more special our memories are from growing up with Beau. I was blessed to know him.

Kris Hansen, Viking Jesus (reverbnation.com/vikingjesus): Here is my best pal, Morgan. Sadly she grew a tumor in

her mouth and is no longer with the family. I was with her until the end and she was a beautiful part of my life.

sHannon LeCorre, Gertrude Atherton (gertrudeatherton. bandcamp.com): Martin is the big fluffy orange one, MadeLine is the small tuxedo. I grew up with lots of cats

but really they were my mom’s, so I never knew how intense it was to be a kitty-mom. I got Madeline from a farm and rescued Martin from a shelter. Martin (or “Johan” during his shelter stay) was a giant, really chill kittyman that came right up to me in the cat room and sat on my lap for 20 minutes, purring the whole time. He will actually let you spoon him.

Madeline is a perfect angel. While Martin will give anyone his love and trust, Maddy saves it Madeline for those who are truly deserving. And when you get her kitty love it is a fantastic feeling — she sleeps on my chest at night, especially when I’m stressed out.

It’s pretty corny, but on multiple occasions she has been the only presence around during really rough times.

I know she’s just a cat but she is a smart and comforting little baby angel, and I’m proud to be her mama. Anyway, I’ll probably die alone with 89 cats. Oh well.

Jay Berndt, Jay Berndt & the Orphans (jayberndt.com): In 2006 Jay Berndt and his wife Jessica adopted their be-

loved pit bull PigLet from Providence Animal Control.

Piglet inspired them to get more involved. Over the years, they have worked with a number of rescue organizations to help restore the reputation of pitbulls to its former image, that of a devoted family member and companion. Jay and Jessica now have three dogs (as well as two cats). Each morning they get up early and take the dogs on a threemile walk. It was on those walks that the forthcoming album Life, Love & Loss was written.

B. doLan (bdolan.net, strangefamousrecords.com): This here is tux, the official grey-bearded companion of B. Dolan and his live band. Tux came to live with the band’s DJ/engineer DS3K five years ago, after his partner Erica spotted Tux on the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary website.

Sadly, Tux had been found in a dumpster, and the Animal Sanctuary had been posting a journal of his progress through recovery.

Due to the neglect he suffered as a puppy, Tux contracted salmonella and suffered nerve damage that left him blind. Luckily, however, the Sanctuary was able to save his life and he was offered up for adoption. DS3K and Erica drove to Utah to meet Tux, and their story was chronicled on (the National Geographic show) Dogtown, which filmed the adoption.

Nowadays Tux holds down his favorite couch and ignores the subwoofer sounds from the basement while B. Dolan finalizes his new album and the live band rehearses, enjoys regular breaks in the backyard with the band, and waits patiently for the smell of meat being cooked.

We love this guy, and sure are glad to have him in the Strange Famous family.

BoB otis, Extinction Machine (facebook.com/extinction machineri): This is me and my one-eyed cat saLeM. I rescued her and her sister as kittens from inside a garbage can in an abandoned garage in South Providence. Both kittens were sick, malnourished, feral, and dehydrated.

For weeks they bit me, scratched me, pissed on me, and hid . . . but I never gave up on them.

Look at her now.

She sleeps on my lap constantly, bonks my head when I don’t give her enough attention, and tries to steal my picks when I practice guitar. Maybe she wants to start her own band? ^ MUSIC FOR PAWS PET-FRIENDLY SUMMER BLOCK PARTY featuring EXTINCTION MACHINE + B.

Brown University Center for Alcohol and Addiction Studies

This adaptation of a John le Carré novel works smashingly as a suspense film, a mood piece, and a vehicle for the late Philip Seymour Hoffman, playing a world-weary German spy who gets more than he bargained for when he investigates a suspicious Chechen immigrant.

Director Anton Corbijn (Control, The American) seems to have modeled the film’s somber look and muted drama on such paranoid ’70s thrillers as The Conversation and All the President’s Men; the most suspenseful passages tend to be the quieter, more cerebral ones. Corbijn employs wide-screen framing to striking dramatic effect, using it to emphasize the characters’ confinement in tight spaces and their vulnerability in open ones. This is all very entertaining, though as an assessment of post-9/11 surveillance culture the movie isn’t sophisticated so much as cynical. With Rachel McAdams, Robin Wright, and Homayoun Ershadi.

No one has ever accused French action director Luc Besson of thinking too hard, and this frantic exercise in pseudoscience and goofball metaphysics is best enjoyed by following his lead. The title refers not only to the main character but also to the famous fossilized skeleton, an ancestor of Homo sapiens; Besson implies that both represent the birth of a new species, turning this enjoyable shoot’em-up into a dumbbell 2001: A Space Odyssey.

As an artist, an icon, and a person, James Brown is such an elusive quarry that no bi_J.R. Jones opic writer could hope to do more than circle around him — which is exactly how brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth (Fair Game) approach the singer in this straightforward but highly entertaining feature. The story is framed

by Brown’s notorious 1988 drug bust in Georgia following a high-speed car chase, yet within this frame the writers also loop back and forth in time to consider Brown’s impoverished youth, his cunning ascent of the R&B charts, his oscillating political views, and his restless pursuit of the ever-more-funky rhythms that are still being sampled today. wOrlD-wearY Hoffman in A Most Wanted Man.

Masterpiece Good Okay Not Good Stinks

Planet of the Apes (2011), 20th Century Fox successfully rebooted its 40-yearold sci-fi franchise by remaking not the 1968 classic but one of its lowrent sequels: Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), about an ape rebellion in (more-or-less) contemporary America. In like fashion this follow-up is recycled from the subsequent Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973), in which the talking apes, having launched their own society, clash with humans amid a postapocalyptic landscape. Battle was one of the weaker entries in the original cycle, and its preachy, sentimental story hasn’t improved with age. The digital rendering of the ape characters is even more spectacular here than in Rise, but the human characters (played by Gary Oldman, Jason Clarke, and Keri Russell, among others) are so bland they don’t stand a chance against their simian counterparts. Matt Reeves (Cloverfield) directed. | 130m |

XXX snowPierCer | 2014 |

The human drive toward ecological collapse often seems like a screaming train that can’t be halted, which gives this postapocalyptic thriller by Bong Joon-ho (The Host) a potency indivisible from its premise. Decades after an atmospheric experiment to counteract global warming has instead plunged the world into a new ice age, a little community of survivors rides a passenger train around and around the planet, the haves housed near the engine and the have-nots suffering at the back; a rebellion led by two malcontents (Chris Evans and Jamie Bell) and leading up through the cars introduces us to a succession of fantastic technology and eccentric characters (not the least of which is Tilda Swinton as an officious Thatcher-like governess). As with The Host, the political satire is teased out gradually as the story progresses and never intrudes on one’s enjoyment of the movie’s richly imagined world. With John Hurt, Octavia Spencer, and Ed Harris. | 126m |

XXW wisH i wAs Here |

2014 | A decade after writing and

directing the indie favorite Garden State (2004), TV actor Zach Braff returns with his second feature, a huggy story about a failed actor (Braff) trying to get closure with his disappointed father (Mandy Patinkin) before the old man succumbs to cancer. The earlier, comedic scenes work a lot better than the later, dramatic ones, thanks mainly to Braff’s wide-eyed, deadpan performance and good supporting work from Kate Hudson as the hero’s frustrated wife and Josh Gad as his no-account brother.

This often plays like a younger, hipper version of a Rob Reiner comedy, which isn’t really a compliment unless you consider younger and hipper to be inherently complimentary; the movie was largely bankrolled by a Kickstarter campaign that collected more than $3 million, and the result is agreeable enough that none of the 46,520 contributors is likely to feel gypped. | 114m |

Moon signs “The moon, narrow and pale like a paring snipped from a snowman’s toenail” – Tom Robbins. This weeks’ lunar phase brings Luna to the first-quarter— a tremendously useful time for moving projects and relationships forward and being hopeful, versus fearful about upcoming events. When the sun is in Leo, as it is this month, it’s a fine time for planning parties, events for children and all kinds of gettogethers. (And yes, it’s the only month without an official holiday and assorted folderol). Also, this month signifies another birthday for Moon Signs! Thank you all for continuing to read the column and living your lives by the moon.

I’d love to hear from you about your own “lunar” experiences.

seeming to be even-handed is just as good as being even-handed on a Libra moon day. expect charm from Libra, gemini, aquarius, virgo, Leo, and Pisces. With the moon in harmony with mars, relations between the sexes could be heated and vehement. capricorn, aries, and cancer: you’re not seeing the big picture.

Waxing moon in virgo, moon void-ofcourse 2:47 pm until 4:09 pm when it enters Libra. morning productivity and specifics ease up into easy-come-easy-go ambivalence. virgo is about work, while Libra is about partnership. find ways to connect with others whom you may have overlooked. in the groove: virgo, Libra, taurus, gemini, capricorn, and aquarius. having a hard time reading the signals: Pisces, aries, cancer, Leo, scorpio, and sagittarius.

Waxing moon in Libra, moon void-ofcourse 2:58 am until 2:57 am sunday (yes, nearly a perfect 24-hour vcm). think back to thursday afternoon. did something unexpected happen, but which turned out to be not-so-bad? expect a replay today, particularly for Libra, scorpio, virgo, sagittarius, aquarius, Pisces, taurus, and cancer. an excellent day for some (cancer, capricorn, aries, Leo, aquarius) to dither and be elusive.

Waxing moon in scorpio (moon void-ofcourse until 2:57 am). scorpio moons rule sex, death, other people’s money, knives, and activities that could be seen as self-destructive. in short—sex, drugs and rock and roll, which is not what the founding fathers intended for the sabbath. so from now until tuesday, virgo, Libra, scorpio, sagittarius, capricorn, Pisces, and cancer: kick out the jams. taurus, Leo, aquarius, aries, and gemini: don’t get sucked into others’ drama.

first quarter moon in scorpio, moon void-of-course 5:43 pm until 10:18 am tuesday. a turning point for events that began around July 19, and an excellent day for removing parts—or personalities—that no longer function in your life. Yeah, sounds harsh, but scorpio, Libra, virgo, sagittarius, taurus, Leo, aquarius, and capricorn can be decisive. Pisces and cancer could be (needlessly) sentimental.

Waxing moon in sagittarius (moon voidof-course in scorpio until 10:18 am). sagittarius moons are a time when we all like a good laugh, or want to help some group that’s been disadvantaged. this is an excellent day for travel, or for exploring the advantages of higher education. at their best: Libra, scorpio, sagittarius, capricorn, aquarius, aries. slightly off-kilter, gemini, cancer, Pisces, virgo.

Waxing moon in sagittarius, moon void-of-course 2:52 pm until 1:38 pm thursday. advocate for justice and keep a sense of humor about things. sagittarius moons help keep things light, and bring out the playful side of others (yes, it’s joke-spam filling the inbox). needing air, or at least some exercise: Libra, scorpio, sagittarius, capricorn, aquarius, aries, and Leo. restless but productive: Pisces, aries, taurus, gemini, and virgo.

Moon KeyS this traces the passage of the moon, not the 31 horoscope 32 sun. simply read from day to day to watch the moon’s influence as it moves through the signs of the zodiac. | When the moon is in your sun sign, you are beginning a new 28-day emotional cycle, and you can expect increased insight and emotionality. When the moon moves into the sun sign opposite yours (see below), expect to have difficulties dealing with the opposite sex, family, or authority figures; social or romantic activities will not be at their best. | When the moon is in aries, it opposes Libra, and vice versa. other oppositions are taurus/scorpio, gemini/sagittarius, cancer/capricorn, 16 Leo/aquarius, and virgo/Pisces. the moon stays in each sign approximately two and a half days. | as the moon moves between signs, it will sometimes become “void of32course,” making no major angles to planets. consider this a null time and try to avoid making or implementing decisions if you can. but it’s great for brainstorming. | for symboline dai’s sun-sign horoscopes and advice column, visit our Web site at thePhoenix.com.
