Excellence: Antonio Sánchez & Bad Hombre, Tiny Desk Concert

Felix Contreras | March 2, 2023
Watching Antonio Sánchez and Bad Hombre behind the Tiny Desk is witnessing an entire band exploring the rhythm of language.

Fueled by Sánchez’s propulsive drumming, the band both complements and acts as a foil to vocalist Thana Alexa’s soaring interpretations of three tracks from Sánchez’s latest album, SHIFT (Bad Hombre, Vol II).

Bassist Lex Sadler and keyboard wizard BIGYUKI join Sánchez and Alexa to kick things off with “Doyenne,” a song that features a powerful drum solo that reflects why Sánchez is a first-call sideman to a number of A-List jazz musicians (not to mention his 18 years with guitarist Pat Metheny).

On “The Bucket,” the band falls into a drone-like groove while Alexa’s vocals swoop and soar through the music. Her spoken word delivery at the end is powerful for its content as well as the band’s supple support.

Chilean-French singer Ana Tijoux co-wrote the last tune, “Mi palabra,” and true to her hip-hop roots, the song is a meditation on how language and voice can be the ultimate source of rhythm. BIGYUKI moves the band from a whisper to a scream, pulling out a variety of notes and sounds during a solo that mirrors the rhythmic sensibilities that Tijoux has set up with her stream of free-flowing word play.

Antonio Sánchez observes the world with a drummer’s sensibilities. As he tours with his pals in Bad Hombre and puts on performances like these, he expresses the kind of musicality that makes him one of today’s best jazz drummers.

Months after he had left office, former president Donald Trump, directed his former chief-of-staff, Mark Meadows to leak highly classified government records regarding Peter Strzok, the former Deputy Assistant Director of the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, to the press. In the final days of Trump’s presidency, Meadows had removed the classified files from the White House, which Trump and Meadows believed would discredit Strzok.

The explosive ramifications of such a knowing and willful leak of classified information by Trump, or by someone on his behalf, at his direction, after he left office, is that Trump would have potentially committed a felony.

I know how this sounds, but does one more crime on the pile make any fucking difference with this guy?

The US legal system and, quite frankly, the Constitution itself, obviously can’t handle a single criminal who has the ability to constantly flaunt the law, be it through said criminal’s wealth or elected officials’ unwillingness to do their fucking jobs*.

One of my issues with Bob Cesca is that he has this mantra “Trump makes things worse for Trump” he says over and over. It’s a pithy turn of phrase, but it’s nonsense. Any other fucking western democracy at this point, at bare minimum, would have had someone like Trump indicted at this point.

Not good ol’ MURICA, though. The guy who tried to overthrow the country by murdering his VP and half of Congress, in addition to killing hundreds of thousands of Americans by his inaction on COVID, stand a great fucking chance of getting elected again.

So I’m really trying to not say “Who fucking cares?” at this news, but it’s really, really tough.

*Your periodic reminder that Merrick Garland is a fucking coward who is waiting for another complete GOP takeover of the federal government, so he can completely avoid doing his motherfucking job and prosecuting Trump.

The US legal system might be able to handle Trump if Trump really were just a “single criminal”.

But the reality is that Trump is leader of the criminal Republican party. That’s what appears to making Garland et al. so timid.

Really the issue is that the US legal system is not designed to punish someone like Donald Trump. The US legal system is supposed to enforce hierarchies and class differences by punishing, marginalising, and disenfranchising minorities and poor people, especially black people. That is what it is designed to do. That is it’s purpose. Other Western nations have a legal system that is supposed to provide for a peaceful and civilised society. America’s system is designed to achieve a different purpose, and it does so very well. The problem is that we have come to expect that legal systems should be egalitarian, which is explicitly not the goal of the US system. By ensuring Donald Trump faces no consequences for anything, the systems of America are fulfilling their purpose.

It bears repeating, loudly and often, that the more white-collar a crime is in this country, the harder it is to prove, specifically because the more white-collar crimes are things that the majority of rich powerful men are supposed to get away with, unless it’s so egregious that an example must be made.

Because the Florida Republican Party has decided that they aren’t quite fascist enough:

New bill would eliminate Florida Democratic Party

The Florida Democratic party would not exist if a new Senate bill is passed and signed into law.

Spring Hill Republican Senator Blaise Ingoglia has filed SB 1248, which would be called “The Ultimate Cancel Act.”

While it does not mention the Democratic party’s name, it would direct the Florida Division of Elections to “immediately cancel the filings of a political party, to include its registration and approved status as a political party, if the party’s platform has previously advocated for, or been in support of, slavery or involuntary servitude.”

Southern Democrats advocated for slavery during the Civil War.

Under the Bill, registered Democrats would be automatically re-registered as having “no party affiliation.” The Democratic party officers could reorganize, but only under a substantially different name.

“For years now, leftist activists have been trying to “cancel” people and companies for things they have said or done in the past. This includes the removal of statues and memorials, and the renaming of buildings. Using this standard, it would be hypocritical not to cancel the Democrat Party itself for the same reason,” explained Sen. Ingoglia.

Look at that. The GOP’s present day support of slavery and involuntary servitude (on the down low for the moment, but we all know it’s coming), is exempt from this bill.

But at least it would give the “anti-woke” fascists another gripe to whine about.

Yeah that bill would eliminate the Southern Democrats, the group who advocated for slavery and secession during the Civil War and then became the “Dixiecrats” who instituted Jim Crow after Reconstruction.

The Northern Democrats evolved into the Democratic party of today, while after the CRA was passed, the Dixiecrats were absorbed by the Republican party of today.

This information is hidden inside those seekrit things called “books” which Florida wants to ban.

They’re only serious about trans issues as long as the issue is divisive enough. Just like same sex marriage; once the issue becomes accepted by the majority of the population they’ll jump to the next wedge issue.

I don’t give a fuck if they get a conviction or not. It’s a crime that he doesn’t have to go into a court and face the music. Trials are always a gamble, but the amount of info that will come out will be worth the effort. A hung jury is not an acquittal.

Interesting question.

I remember that this was an issue with Civil Rights cases in the Deep South back in the 1960s and 1970s. A lot of folks did not find justice. In other cases prosecutors were able to find other venues and statutes to use.

I have no idea how this all is going to play out. But I suspect that having multiple venues and prosecutors looking through this mess may help.

I agree, but no US Attorney or state AG wants to lose what would ordinarily be a “slam dunk” case due to a Trump believer jurist.

I am fairly certain he will never face any consequences for that. The best bet probably lies with taxes, campaign finance, corporate and personal finance shennanigans etc.

The bar for incitement is high and if Trump brought a first amendment defense to the supreme court I don’t see any of the conservative justices ruling against him.

Not that I begrudge the Ukrainian’s any defense at all, but aren’t landmines outlawed by international treaty?

I don’t think we ever signed that treaty, and Ukraine may not have either.

Plus there’s a world of difference between anti-tank and anti-personnel mines.

The personnel in the tanks might have disagreed if they were alive, but I expect that they do pose a lot less risk to civilians.

I know we didn’t.

1) Only anti-personnel mines are covered by the Ottawa Treaty.
2) FASCAM mines - the most problematical US mines - have self-destruct mechanisms.

There are several different kinds of landmines, the 1997 Ottawa treaty banned “Anti-personnel” landmines. Which are designed to cripple people.

Anti-tank landmines are designed to blow up 20 -60 ton armored vehicles. They are bigger and are designed to require a much larger vehicle before blowing up. In general, people stepping on them is not likely to set them off. (Some use pressure plates, some use magnetic detection systems. Some even will fire the landmine into the vehicle from a distance.)

However, there are complicating factors. For example, many mines have booby traps on the underside. If you do not know what you are doing and try to move a landmine, many are designed to blow up.

Humanity’s cruelty to humans often has no boundaries.

I do not believe that the US, Russia, nor Ukraine signed the treaty.

ETA -
It has been pointed out that Ukraine did in fact sign the treaty.

Turns out google is your friend(at least in this case) Ukraine is a signatory to the mine ban treaty sinc 2006, however that treaty does not ban anti-vehicle mines, so Ukraine is good to go.

I may be wrong here and if so, please correct me if I am. Anti-personnel mines are banned by treaty (that we never signed), but anti-armor mines are still allowed. Just as are anti-shipping mines are still allowed.

re: #77 BeenHereAwhile

I agree, but no US Attorney or state AG wants to lose what would ordinarily be a “slam dunk” case due to a Trump believer jurist.

Which gets us back to civil service or law enforcement fearful to act due to “their careers”.

Anti-personnel mines subject to the Ottawa Treaty.

Anti-tank (anti-vehicle) mines are not. And they usually require more pressure than just a person walking on/near them to set them off. One reason there were videos earlier in the war of people just shoving anti-tank mines off the road or simply picking them up to move.*

*- Now there is a capability to put anti-tamper devices on these mines. Which I did not check if there is currently any ban on doing that. And also using anti-tamper devices I suspect leads to you losing a percentage of your troops/engineer laying the mines due to the sensitivity of said devices.
