Russia Cannot Stop Attacks on Occupied Crimea 

🎬  War Analysis By Jake Broe   |  8/18/2022    |  ⏱️ 19’58”span / 48K views 

The Ukrainian military this week claimed responsibility for the attack on the airfield near Simferopol in Crimea. 

Russia has no response for any of these attacks.  Russia keeps making errors that are costing the lives of their leadership and propagandists.

Comment By Blake C.:  I always rush to watch these update videos when you put them out, this war has been very fascinating to watch. Great stuff, and glory to Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Adrian's Channel:  More good news for Ukraine! It's about time the Russians in occupied Crimea feel the fear of not being safe. I am happy that they are all going home to mother Russia!

Yoko F:  I feel that these airmen are loading their love, respect, prayers and all the positive energy as well. Glory to all heroes who fight for freedom🌹Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦 

Ajit Advani:  Great content as usual. Greetings from India. Loved the loading of ammo clip. Imagine the logistics of loading, flying the consignments accross continents to Poland and then getting accross to the frontlines. Only the US can do such fantastic stuff. 

Nancy Ruiz Perez:  I love how you show the values and humanity of all these people contributing for Ukraine success!

Robin Stevenson:  Jake, I love the way you put a human touch into these videos and do your best to stay upbeat.  Your videos are informative and also lift my spirits about the situation. 

Andrew Ackerley:  Thank you America. Great video Jake. You are doing a stirling job to help Ukraine win this crazy war against Putin. Sláva Ukraini! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

Anne Austin:  The very existence of a "436th Aerial Port Squadron" in the US armed forces just really drives home how massively powerful the US is militarily. 😳 As a UK person, I'm damned glad we're on the same side.

Rob Whitney:  I think we all agree Russia can’t hold extended lines, they can flatten certain areas but their lack of training, lack of professionalism and and WWII tactics won’t work 😎

harmless:  For once I have to agree with Putler: Russian weapons have been tested in battle — and found to be severely lacking. :P

Kathryn Robertson:  Thanks for a great update, as usual! It always makes my day when I see one of your notifications come through because I know we will get the truth from you without the hype! Praying the Ukrainians get their country back and the aggressors get exactly what they deserve! Fingers crossed for every bit of good news now, as winter approaches. Stay Gold!

Chet Pomeroy:  Your videos are VERY informative, Jake. I'm surprised the locals in that Ukrainian city didn't anchor those Czech hedgehogs into the pavement. That's what the East Germans did in the death strip on the east side of the Berlin wall, especially by Potsdamer Platz. 

terrysky83:  Jake, I adore a piece of russian bad news as much as you do.  Those orcs just can't help but show how hideously incompetent they are.

Christiane069:  Jake, Thank you for the Russian movie. This Ukrainian film maker is so modern for his time. It is amazing that the Stalin gestapo did not distrioed it as it was filmed during a very repressive period in Russia's history. What's new there, nothing change.

Comment By Antonio Grancino:  Jake's site is a gold mine of fair and accurate information about the "special operation" in Ukraine.  Keep up the good work !

Recording Cecil Taylor 1973

Almost 50 years ago I lucked into engineering a recording that can now, as of early in 2022, fill in some musical history.

The entire 2+ hours of the recording will be available –exclusively on your favorite streaming service– on February 15, 2022.

Pianist and composer Cecil Taylor was one of the trio of musicians –along with Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane– who defined the parameters of avant-garde jazz starting in the late 1950s and continuing to his death at 89 in 2018. Along with his performing companions –when I was working with him, percussionist Andrew Cyrille and alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons were his most steady stalwarts– he started with black music, mixed up with European classical traditions, threw in his composing and arranging training from the NEC, and blew up what the world considered “jazz.”

When I started out recording in the late 60s, my goal was to make hip and popular music. You know, like The Beatles, my limited exposure to artist, experimental (though popular) music. Since things rarely turn out the way one hopes, I happily spent most of my recording experience in blues and jazz, at first of the avant-garde –or “free”– variety. While it’s music that reminds many of heavy city traffic mixed with fingernails on a blackboard, for me it provided a thrilling window into expansive thinking. These were experiences that made sure I’d work hard to never be complacent. There’s no trade I’d rather have for those times.

A half century later, it’s hard for me to imagine I was lucky enough to work with  acknowledged greats, world class talents like Cecil Taylor (and, not for nothing, that I could actually interview Ornette Coleman on my college radio show). Mr. Taylor was a leading and controversial figure in the resetting of jazz expectations for almost 70 years. But often, cutting edge artists on the fringes of mainstream culture like him don’t always command the attention of the leading recording institutions, and it’s the young, passionate fans (like I was) that can fill the breach.

Cecil’s short lived manager enlisted me to record and “produce” only because I could access some premium tape decks and microphones, and because I’d work tirelessly for his music.

The recording of the “Return Concert” happened in November 1973 at The Town Hall in New York, and later in the winter I traveled to Washington D.C. and crashed in a friend’s place to record a show at the Smithsonian. I spent months pouring over the tapes prepping them for release on Cecil’s own label, Unit Core Records.

The so-called Return Concert was meant to be a homecoming for Cecil and his longtime band mates in the Cecil Taylor Unit –percussionist Andrew Cyrille and alto saxophonist Jimmy Lyons– after several years in mid-West academia –Antioch College and University of Wisconsin-Madison– and though they’d played in New York earlier in the year, management tried to make it a major musical event. Based on the musical evidence it definitely should have been.

As it turned out, only the second half of The Town Hall concert was released, as Spring of Two Blue J’s, and at that Unit Core only pressed 2000 vinyl LPs. It quickly went out print, only surviving as a bootlegged CD. For decades I’ve been determined to mix the first half of the performance for the very first time and drop the entire concert. It would have to be digital since the first half was two compositions played without a pause for 88 minutes.

In the Village Voice, America’s leading jazz writer Gary Giddins called the album Cecil’s finest, and later said “it offers an improvisational coherence his earlier work only hints at. 

I still have to pinch myself about my brief association with artists like Cecil Taylor, Jimmy Lyons and Andrew Cyrille at one of the great peaks of their association.

Cecil may not be an easy listen, but if you’re up for it there are a lot of rewards.

(More to come.)

Exercise: Caricature and character

I decided to choose Dolly Parton as my celebrity and based my drawings on a photo of her taken by Andrew Putler. For the character portrait I used acrylic paint, posca markers, metallic pens and pencil. For the caricature, I sketched it initially in pencil and then rendered it digitally.

I really enjoyed working on the character portrait as I haven’t painted in this way since I was in high school, I’m pretty rusty. Although I don’t think the likeness is quite there I do think that it is identifiable as Dolly. 

For the caricature I focused on her physical features that she is most known for but heightened them. Her hair is bigger, her chest is bigger and her waist even smaller. I dislike the image visually as I think a lot of caricature is just...ugly. I think it is recognisable as Dolly possibly more so than the character portrait. 

The process itself I found interesting, looking at people and breaking them down by their most distinguishable features however I don’t think it is something I would want to pursue.
