Edward Simon brings a stellar trio with acclaimed bassist Or Bareket and drummer Adam Cruz. Together they will be playing music from his new album, Venezuela: Latin American Songbook Vol. 2 on ArtistShare, whichcontinues the artist’s deep engagement with Latin American repertoire through jazz-informed interpretation. Following his NAACP Image Award-winning Vol. 1, this new chapter draws further inspiration from the rich musical heritage of Simon’s homeland and neighboring countries, bringing to light beloved classics and hidden gems from the Latin American songbook. Each piece is reimagined through Simon’s refined touch as an arranger, resulting in a vibrant dialogue between tradition and innovation.
NBs: Edward Simon appeared solo piano April, 2024. Adam appeared with Tom Harrell band fall, 2019 and with Danilo Perez at The Cub in 2000. Or lead a band at Lytton Plaza also in 2022.

*sometimes trolling I admit: i wrote a regrettable letter once to Linda Perry calling her a sellout (after she either compared me to Al Pacino OR said that like Al Pacino she never forgets a face and “that’s what’s up”

Ought” as a number means zero (0), often seen in pronunciations like “thirty-aught-six” for the .30-06 rifle or the “aughts” (2000s), but it’s easily confused with the verb “ought” (should) and the word “aught” (anything/zero), stemming from misinterpretations of “naught” (nothing) and its similar sound. While “aught” can mean “anything,” it’s frequently used for “zero” in American English, especially in specific technical or historical contexts, despite “nought” being the more traditional word for zero. “Naut” is a coinage implying nothing but also rain and general nautiness

Rabiah Kabir and Cien Mil Mangos from Stanford at Johnson Park by Earthwise 2023; billion dollar venue with a million diodes in Las Vegas; oak leaves versus diodes.











The photos are out of order: he caught the ball on the left wing, the inbounder cleared out; he beat his man baseline. He split the double team help; it was a reverse layup, for which he did not see the finish because he was on the ground.
Stanford trailed by 12 with 12 minutes to go and then closed to within four with four minutes to go. But Notre Dame won, in a very low-scoring match.


I’m excited to be buying tickets for an upcoming show at the Bottom of the Hill featuring a band called Pee. Stylized as P.E.E.
This band played my concert series at Cubberley back in 1995. The ad for the concert says they are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their Noise Pop performance in that same year.
This band was managed by Kevin Arnold who is the founder of Noise Pop. This band literally plays Noise Pop, which is sort of like punk. Even 30 years later, I easily recalled that the singer is Kelly Green.
for me in my 30 second year as Earthwise stet sic I think of this event as falling between my Edward Simon show on February 28 and my Edu Ribeiro show on March 17. Or
Edward Simon, Adam Cruz, Reuben Rogers, Stephan Crump, PEE, Murry Low, Edu Ribeiro, Vinicius Gomes, Noah Garabedian….
Not to be confused with friends of Pee meaning the sisters-in-law of Jack Black and Company.
