I have to admit that sometimes I confuse al young and Ernest Gaines. I guess if I had met either Mann or saw him read or see him read that will illuminate the problem they’re both among the top riders to ever come through this part I guess if I had met either man or saw him read or see him read that will illuminate the problem they’re both among the top riders to ever come through this part. Gaines was born in Louisiana but raised in Vallejo went to San Francisco State and Stanford.

The band known as Amendola vs. Blades vs. Parker vs. Skerik performs a free show Saturday, March 30, 2019 8 p.m. at Palo Alto Art Center Auditorium presented by Earthwise Productions. Doors, 7:30 p.m. Program is 8 to 9:30 one set. Palo Alto Art Center Auditorium is at 1313 Newell Road, Palo Alto, CA, 94303.
Links:
Scott Amendola, drums; Wil Blades, organ; Jeff Parker, guitar; Skerik, sax.
The band is an extension of an ongoing project called Amendola Vs. Blades. The band is gathering to record a cd, and doing only three shows. (Ivy Room, Albany; Palo Alto; The Palms, Winters). Scott Amendola has appeared previously locally for Earthwise at The Cubberley Center with his own band, with Charlie Hunter Trio and with TJ Kirk. Scott has 15 cds as a leader or co-leader (and also composer) and appears with if not countless others than multitudes of performers in numerous genres, beyond jazz.
Skerik is a sax player based in Portland who leads or co-leads these 10 groups: Garage a Trois; Skerik Band; Lorbo; Sound Cypher; Crack Sabbath; Serpico; DRKWAV; Omaha Diner; Dubchamp vs Skerik; Khu Eex.
Jeff Parker is a guitarist, bandleader and composer from Los Angeles, Chicago and Virgina whose band The New Breed played June 12, 2018 at SFJAZZ Center, in support of a new cd The New Breed. Tortoise band, of rock. Allmusic lists 176 credits for Jeff.
Earthwise started as a spin-off of Bay Area Action Earth Day at Stanford and his produced more than 200 events in Palo Alto since 1994, notably a cluster of shows at Cubberley between 1994-2001.
Earthwise is preparing to announce a series at the new Mitchell Park Community Center “El Palo Alto Room” in honor of the 250th anniversary of Portola marking “El Palo Alto” (the tree, and namesake of The City, which is celebrating its 125th year incorporated).

In the New York Times, Nate Chinen compared Amendola to Tony Allen the funk drummer
I shot this photo of Jeff Parker at SFJazz with his New Breed quartet:
ooo
It took about 20 years for Skerik to get from Warsaw to Earthwise
This is Scott Amendola’s band, as I see it — his name is listed first – -unless that’s alphabetical — but I am going to outro with a quote about Skerik, as told to Paul Olson a few years ago, by Charlie Hunter (Charlie who played Cubberley five times and to my mind has his hand involved in a lot of what goes down in the scene):
“When you’re playing live, he’s the guy you want in front of the band”, Charlie Hunter told me when I interviewed him last year. “He’s indefatigable; he just goes to this place where he can kind of do no wrong as your front man. You just feel like you want to work really hard to make sure that he’s safe to do whatever he wants.
I hope Palo Altans and Bay Area new music fans find their way four weeks from now to enjoy this great band. There’s also a cool art show called “The Sheltering Sky” that is open on Saturday from 10 to 5 that is sort of an inspiration for this show, the venue.
Stanford right hander Brendan Beck sophomore is one of the nations top hurlers.
New York Times says he wants to throw out Sullivan.
Thanks to the Sullivan decision, it is indeed hard for public figures to win libel suits. They have to prove that something false was said about them, that it harmed their reputation and that the writer acted with “actual malice.” That last term is misleading, as it has nothing to do with the ordinary meaning of malice in the sense of spite or ill will.
To prove actual malice under the Sullivan decision, a libel plaintiff must show that the writer knew the disputed statement was false or had acted with “reckless disregard.” That second phrase is also a term of art. The Supreme Court has said that it requires proof that the writer entertained serious doubts about the truth of the statement.
Justice Thomas questioned those standards.
“There appears to be little historical evidence suggesting that the New York Times actual-malice rule flows from the original understanding of the First or Fourteenth Amendment,” he wrote.

Alicia Olatuja, who was first noticed for her solo on “Battle Hymn of The Republic” at the Obama Inauguration in 2013, plays an intimate set at SFJazz July 28. A classically trained vocalist from St. Louis and Manhattan School of Music, she also can be seen in Seattle at Dmitrous March 28.
SFJazz announced 96 shows for their summer festival and sessions.
I might also peep out Rudresh Mahanthappa, and Mary Halvorson “Code Girl”.

The first photo is of a piece of yummy looking cake that I decided not to eat although I did have brisket and matzoh ball soup at the new deli called I think Eleven 11 by Ruben. I hope to get back there to eat that cake. And so my headline is a reference to the famous Robert frosting

I met about 50 people in LA that I thought I could do some business with and one of my highlights was to run into Bruce Solar now a honcho at APA agency for performing arts but I knew him from his San Francisco salad days absolutely. He represents the rock band Cake although their name does not reference a dessert thing you can bake but more like the idea that when you step into a puddle of Mudd with your boots on it is “caked“. Or in that usage I guess the dirt on your shoes is cake otherwise the band would have five letters not four.

And this one, maybe I printed it previously is related to an even earlier six or eight part drawing of Boston Celtics Bob Cousy, him demonstrating the novel dribbling technique. Diallo plays for Oklahoma Thunder and won the All Star Slam Dunk championship with a perfect score of 50 and a little help or lack of resistance from Shaquille O’Neal.
Not only have the players gotten better and more athletic but we can capture nine images instead of merely six, Muybridge call your estate executor.
