Tuesday Night Cuban Jazz: Harold Lopez-Nussa Trio: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Dec. 14, 2018 | Felix Contreras — Cuba is known as much for their pianists as their percussionists — you’ll see why with this performance.

Cuban pianist Harold López-Nussa and his trio open their performance with some help from a recording of famed Afro-Cuban folkloric singer Lázaro Ros. Ros is both a musical and spiritual guide for this performance; the trio dug deep into the ritual music of santeria for inspiration with “Eleguá,” a tribute to one of the Afro-Cuban deities. (Special mention should be made of Harold’s brother, Ruy López-Nussa, on drums, and bassist Gastón Joya, who both fill the spaces between the beats while elegantly leaving breathing room within the performances.)

“Preludio” demonstrates the telepathic connection between these musicians, while subtlety and emotion are not sacrificed for the slower tempo.

“Hialeah” has the recognizable piano riffs — called guajeos — that we can recognize as originating with Cuban dance music, but the trio deftly melds that rhythm to a complex jazz exploration, without compromising its danceable pulse.

Set List
“Elegua”
“Preludio (to José Juan)”
“Hialeah”

Two nuns stole $500,000 from a Catholic school in Torrance, Calif. to gamble in Las Vegas.

presstelegram.com

The nuns laundered cheques to the school through a forgotten bank account of the school to embezzle the money. The Catholic Church is not willing to file a complaint against the nuns, though they are working with the police department on the matter.

The nun’s order says they will repay the school, and the nuns have been removed from the ministry.

Two longtime nuns at St. James Catholic School in Torrance allegedly embezzled as much as $500,000 in tuition, fees and donations, perhaps spending some of the money on trips and gambling at casinos while telling parents the school was operating on a shoestring budget, officials and parents said.

The figure represents only what auditors have been able to trace in six years’ of bank records and might not include other cash transactions, officials from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles told parents and alumni at a meeting Monday night at St. James Catholic Church in Redondo Beach. An audio recording of the two-hour meeting was obtained by the Southern California News Group.

(more, detailing the scheme)

Presumably they are forgiven now. If the Church won’t press charges, I presume they won’t go to jail, either. Nice racket.

Frank’s very first record! The first song on it is still relevant today.

Hungry Freaks, Daddy

Mr. America, walk on by your schools that do not teach
Mr. America, walk on by the minds that won’t be reached
Mr. America try to hide the emptiness that’s you inside
But once you find that the way you lied
And all the corny tricks you tried
Will not forestall the rising tide of HUNGRY FREAKS DADDY!
They won’t go on four no more
Great mid-western hardware store
Philosophy that turns away
From those who aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds
The left behinds of the great society
HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY!
Mr. America, walk on by your supermarket dream
Mr. America, walk on by the liquor store supreme
Mr. America try to hide the product of your savage pride
The useful minds that it denied
The day you shrugged and stepped aside
You saw their clothes, and then you cried,
“Those HUNGRY FREAKS, DADDY!”
They won’t go on four no more
Great mid-western hardware store
Philosophy that turns away
From those who aren’t afraid to say what’s on their minds
The left behinds of the great society

For Christmas years ago, when I was living in Steamboat Springs, my father put his vinyl copy he had - which he bought at a record store in Grand Junction in 1966, and is in fair condition - in a frame and gave it to me as a gift.

Lark Tongues was special for me. Also that year or so was Europe ‘72 by the GD, Close to the Edge by Yes, Can’t Buy a Thrill from Steely Dan, and Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd.

Great year for albums. Oddly, ‘73/’74 had some of the worst radio singles ever made.

That’s exactly right. It’s a BUSINESS DECISION. It’s their money, and they can choose or not choose to spend it it on any media outlet that they think will increase their traffic and profit. That’s Capitalism, red in tooth and claw.

If they think Tucker fucked the dog, and that it will hurt their bottom line, they have every right to pull their dollars from his show. This is not rocket science. This is marketing.

At about 3 p.m. today I started hiking up the ski area using climbing skins on my skis, the second time I’ve done such a thing this winter. I was passed up by five other uphillers in the first quarter of the climb. I wanted to take off my skins and turn around so many times, I even depleted my water bottle about two thirds of the way up. But I got to a point where the vista was just grand (sunset, with alpenglow on high mountains visible to the east) I just kept walking. I made it to the top of Compass Peak, there was nobody up there, and I watched part of the sunset while I removed my skins and caught my breath.

I applied for a new passport at the embassy in Beijing on Dec. 7. The new one arrived today! I’m amazed. Anyway, I will nip into Beijing tomorrow to pick it up. There’s no waiting. I just show my passport and the payment receipt for the new one, and they wave me in.

What awaits me is more complex. I have to have my working papers and residence permit amended to reflect the new passport number and expiry. Not looking forward to that, because it takes two or three trips to various government offices to make it happen. And they could decide at any point to not renew anything, and I’d need to leave China — again — in a jiffy.

So, cross your fingers and all that.

They’re desperate because this was their last big chance, next year they’re gonna find absolutely no stomach whatsoever in Congress for a “big, beautiful wall.” So now they have to find some way, any way, to come up with something they can call a “win” before 2020. Hence Donny coming out to declare that his “big, beautiful wall” will not be built of concrete like Dems say, but instead of steel slats that will look…oh, wait, exactly like the fence line already in place.

He really didn’t think this through. There’s light years of difference between a boycott and violating genuine civil rights protections. You can’t (and shouldn’t try to) force consumers to buy things they don’t want to, but the government can (and should) force places of public accommodation to serve the entire public regardless of protected class such as race, gender, sexual identity, or religion.

Last time I needed a new passport, about a year ago, it took the embassy in Tokyo exactly one week. Nice and quick. And no visit to the embassy. It was done by good old Japan Post. (The embassy here does not want anyone to actually visit it. Been that way since 9/11.)

When did the Post Office start locking their package drop offs after hours? I am talking about the roll-door drops for large packages. These are in 24/7 lobby areas but they can only be used during business hours. I am sure I have used them in the past but I went to 2 different post offices tonight and found them locked; the door won’t open and there is no play at all in it so it is not jammed with some idiocrat’s misshapen package. This is goddamned inconvenient, especially during the consumer holidays when the post office is jammed solid during business hours and parking is impossible.

It is a post 9/11 thing. You may not drop anything over 13 ounces unattended.

Moreover, the Post Office redesigned mailboxes a couple years ago so you could only open them up slightly to insert a letter or padded envelope. (Our town just had its mailbox replaced.)

It has been many years since the Post Office allowed dropping off unattended packages.

In larger cities the Post Office will put on extra people to have the office open beyond normal hours (also April 15).

If this is an effort by May to scare MPs into voting for her deal…it’s not going to work. Many of those who are opposed do so because they think the deal’s already giving too much away to the EU, so given a choice between it and crashing out of the EU but regaining “sovereignty”? Yeah, they’re gonna go with the latter. And those who aren’t prepared for that are still deluded enough to believe that the EU gives so much of a damn about the UK’s future that they’ll renegotiate a “better” deal, said deal not being in any way defined other than “We keep all the bennies of being EU members without any of the obligations thereof.”

“One way or another” is pretty much an admission by this point that he’s lost his bid to get the funding via Congress. Dems have not only told him that $5B isn’t happening, they told Mitch that a $1B “slush fund” is likewise a fucking dream. Hence the tweet last night about “steel slats,” the inevitable moving of the goalposts to argue that anything short of a concrete wall still counts as a “win.”

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. It’s always a joy to come into the overnight thread to see all the music videos posted, from a wide range of genres. King Crimson to Dave Brubeck to Frank Zappa.

It’s a welcome respite from the shitshow that is Trumpworld.

For instance, Rudy’s now claiming that Trump signing letter of intent to do Trump Moscow tower is irrelevant, when it’s highly relevant given who was paying, how the funding was structured, and most importantly - who was involved and why.

Trump’s legal team isn’t very good because they’re signaling all the crimes they’re doing. More than that, Trump always projects his actions on to his enemies. He always thinks people like Clinton did criminal acts, because these are the very things he was doing.

Trump’s scam school? Trump’s foundation? They’re scams and engaged in self dealing and were schemes to enrich Trump personally, while breaking multiple laws. The Trump Foundation is being shuttered under court supervision because it was a scam, and the investigation continues as to tax fraud, evasion, and money laundering.

Everyone who knew anything about Trump was warning on all this from 2015 forwards. This isn’t new. It’s just confirmation of what we’d been warning and suspecting. Turns out that the criminality is even more widespread than some thought.

Turns out that Trump’s house of cards was really just that - and all with the dead man’s hand too.

At about 3 p.m. today I started hiking up the ski area using climbing skins on my skis, the second time I’ve done such a thing this winter. I was passed up by five other uphillers in the first quarter of the climb. I wanted to take off my skins and turn around so many times, I even depleted my water bottle about two thirds of the way up. But I got to a point where the vista was just grand (sunset, with alpenglow on high mountains visible to the east) I just kept walking. I made it to the top of Compass Peak, there was nobody up there, and I watched part of the sunset while I removed my skins and caught my breath.

What’s hilarious is they think his promises of getting the funding from “elsewhere” is A) in keeping with his promise not to make American taxpayers pay for it and B) can cut $5B from other agencies without hurting them. Hell, they’re prepared to applaud him for stealing $5B from the DoD’s budget, a budget that we’re told cannot suffer a single $1 worth of cuts lest the entire military collapse.

He can’t reappropriate money from one agency to pay for the wall in another agency.

The power of appropriations is explicitly the power of Congress and he can’t essentially steal money from one agency to give to DHS to pay for the wall.

Of course, that’s precisely what he has done his entire career in real estate as we’re coming to learn. He engaged in widespread malfeasance when it came to moving money around to pay for things.

But that’s not how government works, and Congress needs to step in to remind him.

Then there’s the fact that Congress has to ratify NAFTA 2.0. That’s not a done deal either. Plus, that deal doesn’t pay for the wall. It doesn’t appropriate money. It is a trade deal, nothing more. That means that the US still has to appropriate money for his boondoggle wall - which Congress clearly has no interest in doing.

Trump is a fucknut who is a one-trick pony. Only his bigot brigade base continues to stand by him because they see him as the white nationalist hero they want him to be.

Those who support building a wall the most are those living in states in the heartland - hundreds of miles from any border - Canada or Mexico.

This is the essential whiteness of the border wall need. It’s a white nationalist policy being advanced by a xenophobic white nationalist (who also happens to profit from having undocumented persons on the payroll, because personal profit trumps the rule of law - or ICE).

Here’s a fun question: what one album changed your musical tastes, and expanded your musical horizons, more than any other? (This isn’t just your favorite — it’s the one you heard when you were a teen that led you out of your original music rut.)

my two cents

the one gateway, the paradigm shift that opened the complex and fantastic musical world for me is/was “At Fillmore East”. Especially Whipping Post.

My one brother does amateur rapping sometimes. He owes a debt to Em because before Em, white guys rapping was either a tacky PR gimmick or really bad like Ice. With Em, a white guy can rap. Dre did a good thing mentoring him. He’s had some problems over the years but I genuinely like Em.

Consider one of the first recorded raps (it wasn’t I don’t think) and done by a White…woman!

Blondie…Rapture.

It is considered the first big rap to be a hit single. Of course, that will always be debated.

Well, maybe it’s the political equivalent of Magic Elephant Repellent: after all, were there any mobs of violent Antifa around to try to lynch Michael Flynn? No? See, it worked! Cox must have scared them away !

Those who support building a wall the most are those living in states in the heartland - hundreds of miles from any border - Canada or Mexico.

This is the essential whiteness of the border wall need. It’s a white nationalist policy being advanced by a xenophobic white nationalist (who also happens to profit from having undocumented persons on the payroll, because personal profit trumps the rule of law - or ICE).

It’s people who live in lily-white towns where the gene pool has a “No Diving” warning sign who’ve been conned into believing that the reason all the decent-paying jobs with solid benefits are not available for their inbred dipshit spawn who must instead choose to either leave their tiny hamlets or take jobs shoveling shit is “illegals” came and took all those jobs. And not because those jobs were automated/outsourced into nonexistence while the jobs that remain don’t pay jack due to decades of kneecapping unions.

Em is still one of the greatest ever in my book. Kid Rock dreams about being that good, and he’ll never get it.

There’s a reason Dre brought Eminem up. The novelty of his whiteness was a thing at first, but Em just kept proving over and over that he’s one of the most gifted rappers ever, of any color.

So, I see we are doing some albums/tunes that made a big difference in our listening habits and furthered our understand of where music can go,

First video is the song that took me away from the mundane of the day. Sure I liked The Beatles and Stones…but working on a model car in our basement where we had this big old Zenith record player radio combo from the 40s the big ass 15” speakers almost blew up when the first notes hit. And boy did I pay attention to the new big sound that was coming. That first power chord sold me.

The second was when I bought my first big double album and this song was on it. This is the original but it was done live on the double album. This song told me how far music could go.

The more I think about it….the more nuts this is. There’s very high chances that Trump won’t even be running for office in two years, either because of incarceration, low polling, or other reason, such as the Republican base turning against him.

To be planning to not even consider another candidate seems to be putting themselves in a risky position where Trump could withdraw in late 2019/early 2020 and then the Republicans would be scrambling to start planning for a primary.

Long-term pattern-of-behavior: Donald Trump has always been the principal source of his own problems. The main difference now is that he has his general dishonesty, incompetence and flim-flam displayed 24/7 on a national stage (the White House), and he can’t deal with his problems via his normal practice: i.e. retreating behind a flak-screen of lawyers to bury critics (or creditors) in paperwork, then quietly settle under-the-radar with NDAs all around.

A child under the age of 18 does not have the capacity to give consent. That’s the purpose of statutory rape laws. It’s an understanding in society that a person under a certain age (16-18 generally) lacks the requisite knowledge, capacity, understanding, to agree to do various things - like enter contracts, engage in various societal obligations, and to consent to sexual conduct.

Statutory rape is an explicit treatment of this.

So no, a child at the age of 12 cannot be expected to say yes or no. The sexual act with a minor is illegal - consent is irrelevant under the law.

These people are insane.

What are the chances they got that info from the Sanders people? ‘Cause that seems like a demographic the Dems would have more detail about than the Reps would….

The GOP in Wisconsin had enough information about black voters to deliberately disenfranchise them — the main factor that led to Hillary losing the state. The GOP certainly can provide the information about who are African-Americans to Russians and the Russians can target these voters.

Absolutely correct, but this plays into the “she really wanted it” fantasy, with the “what did it hurt?” corollary. Also, if you don’t think women ever become full adults like men, the difference between a 12 year old and an 18 year old’s mental capacity wouldn’t be that great.

That was the tactic that worked for them: count on a rabid 30% base to get out and vote and then suppress the rest of the vote so that another 20% guarantees you an electoral majority.

And don’t forget, apathy is the best form of voter suppression and after all, both candidates are the same, right?

Of course, but see, you’re a guy and they’re totally, totally different. Not.
Some men have a hard time admitting that women are adults and should have agency. Once you’ve decided that women are more like children, then girls are often perceived as more adult than they are. Not in making their own life choices, of course, but in regard to what others want from them.

It was 2007. House Republicans had just lost the majority, and I was sitting in a deer hunting tree stand one Saturday morning. That’s when I decided to go big and put together a completely comprehensive plan to update the nation’s entitlement system and reform the tax code.
 I was afraid of the deer, the beasts. Who wouldn’t be? But unlike most unmanly men, I was ready for them. After they had stormed my house, threatened me with destruction, and insulted me, I rescued the last gun I had before the liberals took them all, and went to my safe space from which to better launch my missiles.

This sudden change in Syria policy really makes no sense: OK, if Trump wants to remove US forces from the country - for whatever reason, why make a huge precipitous announcement (complete with evacuating DoS folks)? Versus a quiet, under-the-radar drawdown with little publicity?
AFAICT, the only beneficiaries of an immediate withdrawal (which, of course, would be loudly and repeatedly slammed as a “bugout” if a (D) President ordered it) are, in no particular order, ISIS and the Russians. Which, re the latter, seems like the main “rationale”.

I applied for a new passport at the embassy in Beijing on Dec. 7. The new one arrived today! I’m amazed. Anyway, I will nip into Beijing tomorrow to pick it up. There’s no waiting. I just show my passport and the payment receipt for the new one, and they wave me in.

What awaits me is more complex. I have to have my working papers and residence permit amended to reflect the new passport number and expiry. Not looking forward to that, because it takes two or three trips to various government offices to make it happen. And they could decide at any point to not renew anything, and I’d need to leave China — again — in a jiffy.

So, cross your fingers and all that.

Interestingly, Consumer Reports recommended that anybody who might be concerned that their personal data is compromised should apply for a new passport. Because that invalidates the old passport number and creates a new one.

I do not know how much the PRC uses data it collects, but this might be a good thing for you. At least in the short term.

I was basically wondering whether Turkey is onboard with us attacking Iran. I remember that they did not support Bush the Younger’s Iraq war.

Certainly damaging Iran would benefit Erdogan’s power play to become the regional power. It would also remove us a balance power force there and would benefit the Russians re-entrance to the region.
