Friday, 7:15pm
I'm sitting at a table at the Rustic Cork in Milk Creek thinking about where my daughter's landed whilst listening to her first set of the night.
It's not this set I'm thinking about specifically. It's, yes, the night's cafe gig and the next night's. It's also the St. Patrick's gig for The Little Lies, the Fleetwood Mac tribute band in which she's keyboards, acoustic guitar, covering Christine McVie's vocals.
Lemme tell ya: people are crazy for Fleetwood Mac songs. Across a wider demographic than I woulda guessed.
And then I'm thinking about this other band in which she's keys and background vocals. The band is Midnight High, formed around the music and voice of a young woman she met through The Little Lies.
That's the thing about The Little Lies. Everyone's in another band. Everyone's a member of the community.
I've listened to some of the music from Midnight High's debut album. I've listened to snippets from rehearsal. And I've gotta say... they're setting a high bar. Vocally, especially. The layering of voices. And then the music, of course. It captures a vibe from the 80s expressed with modern ability. After all, there's so much that can be performed live these days, so many colors of sound, complexities of rhythm, and vocal precision and expression performed by passionate human beings at the top of their craft.
Which is all just a roundabout way of telling you how much I'm looking forward to their live debut next month.
Seriously. It'll be a feast for the ears.
One hundred percent.
And then I'm thinking about the songwriting in which my daughter’s engaged. Her mastery over the written word and the raw experience she evokes through music. Her creativity and craft of arranging and mixing that she continues to take to higher levels. The opportunities such ability conjured. The doors it opens.
And so on.
What I'm thinking about most, though, is how my daughter's found her tribe. This community of musicians who share her passion and talent. Who are gifted human beings who both challenge and complement each other. Who continue to blaze their own professional trails, creating wonderful opportunities for each other. Who are enjoying their place in the universe and this pursuit in which they are fully engaged.
She found the right people. Her people. And you can definitely craft and sustain an amazing, surprising, inspiring, and uniquely satisfying life with that kind of tribe.
Damn.
🙂

Account of the Braided Bandits, Part 2 (SS095)
The war between Wei and Song continues. Wei's armies captures Jinyong (a fortress situated at the northern corner of old Luoyang) relatively easy, but Mao Dezu holds out at Hulao (the "Tiger's Pen"). Further east Wei forces also put Dongyang City under siege.
Si is Tuoba Si, Emperor Mingyuan of Wei.
"Zheng Troops" is short for the General of Zheng Troops, Daxi Jin, who leads the Wei siege of Hulao.
The Young Emperor's 1st Year of Jingping, 1st Month [28 January – 25 February 423], the Zheng Troops divided off an army go towards Luo, and attack Xiaolei. The defence commander of the small ramparts, Dou Huang, resisted in battle, he lost and fell. The Grand Warden of Henan, Wang Juanzhi, abandoned Jinyong and set out and ran. From the bandits divided off an army towards Luo, Dezu always fought and every time routed them.
Si, himself leading a great multitude, arrived at Ye. When Zheng Troops had overcome Jinyong, he then turned back to Hulao. Dezu inside the city made tunnels in the walls, going in seven zhang in two paths, and set out outside the city, again divided along six paths, and set out for the rear of the bandits' columns. He recruited 400 dare-to-die soldiers, with Army Adviser Fan Daoji leading 200 as the vanguard, and Army Advisers Guo Wangfu and Liu Gui, and others with 200 as the rear connection, to set out outside the thieves' encirclement, and ambush and assail their rear. The bandits' columns were thrown into confusion. They cut off several hundred heads, and burnt up the assault implements. The bandits, though they retreated and scattered, subsequently then once more joined together.
The bandits also dispatched the General of Chu Troops and Inspector of Xu province, the Duke of Anping, Shegui Fannengjian, the General of Yue Troops and Inspector of Qing province, the Marquis of Linzi, Xue Daoqian, and the General of Chen Troops and Inspector of Huai province, the Count of Shouzhang, Zhang Mo, to go east and strike Qing province. The cities and towns in that direction all ran and fled. The General of the Best of the Army and Inspector of Qing province, Zhu Kui garrisoned Dongyang City. When he heard the bandits had arrived, he collected the multitudes and strengthened the defences. The Dragon-Prancing General and Grand Warden of Ji'nan, Yuan Miao, led the civil and military officials of his two offices and commandery to run and go to Kui.
Kui pledged an oath with his generals and soldiers. Those resident people who had not entered the city were made to move and go to the mountain impasses, and they burnt the grain fields, to make it so that when the bandits arrived there would be nothing to supply them. The bandit multitude that went toward Qing province, from front to rear between the Ji and the He was altogether 60 000 cavalry.
3rd Month [28 March – 25 April], 30 000 cavalry went forward to pursue and threaten. Within the city were 1 500 civil and military people, but half of that were a mix of Qiang and Man vagabonds and sundry. People felt terrified and afraid. Zhu Kui at night dispatched Marshal Che Zong to lead 500 people to set out from the city in a surprise strike, the bandits' multitudes split apart and withdrew.
In the span of two days, the bandits' infantry and cavalry fully arrived. They encircled the city four times, their ranks and columns [stretched] for more than 10 li. Reaching the afternoon, they withdrew and turned back to continuous encampments on the An River, 20 li distant from the city. They greatly put in order attack implements, and day after day divided off infantry and cavalry to regularly come and pressure the city.
Kui at night sent the General Within the Halls, Zhu Zongzhi, Army Adviser Jia Yuanlong, and others to lead 100 people, and prepare an ambush at the two banks at the mouth of the Yang River. The bandit general Afujin led 300 people to cross the river at daybreak. The ambushers issued out from the two banks, and the bandit cavalry ran off in four directions. They killed and wounded several tens of people, and put on display Afujin's head. The bandits again advanced to encamp south of the river, at a distance 4 li north-west of the city.
Si from Ye dispatched troops to add to [those at] Hulao, to intensify the siege and press the attack. Zheng Troops led 3000 infantry and cavalry from Hulao to attack the Grand Warden of Yingchuan, Li Yuande, at Xuchang. The Army Advisor of Chariots and Cavalry, Wang Xuanmo, led 1 000 men to help Yuande defend. He and Yuande together were scattered and defeated. The bandits promptly employed a native of Yingchuan, Yu Long, as Grand Warden of Yingchuan, to lead 500 cavalry, and also issue out the able-bodied among the people so as to defend the city.
Dezu set out with the army to strike Gongsun Biao, there was a great battle from morning to evening, and he killed several hundred of the bandits. It happened that Zheng Troops' army returned from Xuchang, and joined with the siege. Dezu was greatly defeated. He lost more than 1 000 armoured soldiers, and withdrew back to strengthen the city. Si again dispatched more than 10 000 people from Ye, to pass by the He from Baishakou [“White Sand Mouth”], and build a rampart at Hanquan to the south of Puyang City.
A court debate considered that:
The distance between Xiang City and the bandits is not far, not a shelter for a light army, make Liu Cui summon Gao Daojin back to Shouyang. If Shen Shuli already has advanced, he likewise ought be followed up on as well.
Cui considered that the bandits were attacking Hulao and had not yet turned southward, but if he right then gathered in the army residing at Xiang City, then the various commanderies west of the Huai would have nobody to rely and depend on. Shen Shuli had already stopped at the mouth of the Fei and also ought not right then withdraw. At the time Li Yuande, leading 200 scattered troops, arrived at Xiang. Liu Cui made him help Gao Daojin defend and guard, and requested that he be pardoned for his crime of fleeing in defeat. A court debate allowed it in both cases.
Tan Daojin arrived at Pengcheng. He considered that Qing and Si provinces were both in a critical state, however his command was not many and insufficient to proceed separately. [Since] the road to Qing province was nearby and Zhu Kui's troops were weak, he would first save Qing province.
Zhu Kui dispatched people to set out from the city and build moats to the east, west, and south. The bandits north of the city for more than 300 bu dug out a long encirclement. The bandits went down from their horses and advanced on foot. The troops with short arms connected, on top the city walls the bows and crossbows issued forth, and the bandits therefore split and scattered.
The bandits thereupon filled in the outer moats, pulled in four tall buildings and twenty “toad wagons”, setting them up inside the long encirclement. Kui had previously dug out north of the city to make three tunnels. He made them pass through the outer moats and then dug out inside the moats. Within, two zhang from the walls, he made a small moated. He dispatched more than 300 people to set out through the tunnels, intending to burn the bandits' attack implements. At the time a whirlwind shifted the flames, and the fire did not ignite. The bandit troops' arrows came down across, and many of the soldiers were wounded. He gathered the multitude and turned back inside.
The bandits filled in the three moats until they were fully level, However they left behind the small moat, due which the toad chariots could not catch up. The bandits used pillars [?] to attack the city. Kui recruited strong men to tie together great rocks and grindstones upon the city walls, and heap them upon them. He again set out to within the small moat, made use of large hemp-ropes stretched across the structure [?] and attacked the wagons near the city. From inside the tunnels, many strong people pull and made them snap. The bandits then dug out a long encirclement to the south of the city, and advanced the attack even more pressingly.
Kui was able to grasp what was important, while Yuan Miao had a capacity for audacity. For that reason they were able to firmly defend through changing seasons. However, they were attacked daily for a long time, and the city was gradually ruined and destroyed. Many of the fighting soldiers were dead or wounded, and the remaining multitudes were hard-pressed and exhausted. From dawn to dusk they were on the verge of capture while Tan Daoji and Wang Zhongde through forced marches hurried to them.
Liu Cui dispatched Li Yuande to assail Xuchang. Yu Long ran away. General Song Huang followed in pursuit, and cut of Long's head. Yuande following that halted to soothe and console, and also sent up taxes and provisions.
The bandits' Yuebo Dafei led more than 3 000 cavalry, and routed five counties that belonged to Gaoping commandery: Gaoping, Fangyu, Rencheng, Jinxiang, and Kangfu. They killed or carried off more than 2 000 families. They killed their boys and drove away into captivity their young women. The Inspector of Yan province, Zheng Shunzhi, guarded Hulu, and though he had troops, he did not dare set out. The General of the Best of the Army, Shen Xuan, defended Pengcheng, which was more than 200 li distant from Gaoping. He feared the bandits would arrive, and moved the people living outside the outer walls, and also the various encampment offices, to fully enter the Lesser City.
Si again dispatched the Inspector of Bing province, Yilou Ba to help Zheng Troops attack Hulao, and fill up the pair of moats at the frontier. Dezu along the way had just so resisted and held them off, and to some extent killed the bandits, but his generals and soldiers were bit by bit crumbling away.
4th Month, renshen [1 May], the bandits heard that Daoji was about to arrive. They burnt their instruments and implements, abandoned Qing province, and fled.
Zhu Kui sent up words that Dongyang City had been destroyed and ruined by the attacks, and was impossible to defend. He moved to garrison Changguang's Buqi City. Kui, due to his merit in firmly defending, advanced in title to General of the Van, and was ennobled Baron of Jianling county with a revenue estate of 400 households. Kui, courtesy name Zuji, was a native of Dongguan. In office he reached Gold and Purple Brilliantly Blessed Grandee.

Furfural Production Technologies: A Deep Dive into Manufacturing Processes
Tumblr media
Furfural is a natural organic compound derived as a byproduct of the biorefining of lignocellulosic biomass such as corncobs, oat hulls, and birch woodchips. It is predominantly used as a solvent and foundry reagent. Furfural has low toxicity and exhibits high solubility in various organic solvents. It finds wide usage in refining petroleum, production of medicinal fumes, extraction of oils from seeds, and synthesis of furan resins.
The global furfural market is estimated to be valued at US$ 625.21 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7% over the forecast period 2023-2030, as highlighted in a new report published by Coherent Market Insights. Market Opportunity:
Biofuel Production
There lies enormous potential for furfural to be used as a biofuel. It can be fermented by microorganisms into fuels like ethanol, butanol and others. This provides an attractive opportunity for furfural producers to convert it into drop-in biofuels that are compatible with the existing petroleum infrastructure. As concerns over energy security and environmental impacts of fossil fuels increase, demand for sustainable biofuels is on the rise. The extensive usage of furfural-based biofuels can significantly reduce dependence on imported oil and lower carbon emissions. Future technological advancements to optimize microbial strains and lower production costs can make furfural one of the top platforms for biofuel manufacturing. This presents a lucrative market opportunity for increased furfural demand and production in the coming years. Porter's Analysis
Threat of new entrants: The threat of new entrants in the furfural market is moderate. As capital requirements, technical expertise and developing economies of scale all pose barriers for new entrants.
Bargaining power of buyers: The bargaining power of buyers is moderate in this market as buyers have multiple options for suppliers and furfural is a relatively low-priced bulk commodity.
Bargaining power of suppliers: The bargaining power of suppliers is high as raw material sources like agricultural residues are consolidated among a few large suppliers.
Threat of new substitutes: The threat of new substitutes is low as there are limited alternatives to furfural available that can serve its various industrial applications.
Competitive rivalry: The competitive rivalry is high as the major players compete on the basis of product quality and pricing.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths: Wide applications of furfural in chemical and petrochemical industries. Developing economies with growing manufacturing sectors boost demand.
Weaknesses: Raw material prices and availability affects production costs. Environmental regulations for disposal of waste generated during production.
Opportunities: Increasing furan resin demand for automobile and construction applications offers new opportunities. Potential for value-added derivatives like furan fatty di-acids emerges.
Threats: Developments of alternative green chemicals reduce dependency on furfural. Stringent environmental norms can restrict operations of manufacturing facilities.
Key Takeaways
The global furfural market is expected to witness high growth over the forecast period of 2023-2030. The global furfural market is estimated to be valued at US$ 625.21 Mn in 2023 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 7% over the forecast period 2023-2030.
Asia Pacific leads both production and consumption of furfural globally with China being the largest producer. Growth of manufacturing sectors in developing nations is propelling regional demand. Europe and North America also have sizable markets and see steady demand rises from chemical industries. Key players operating in the furfural market are Illovo Sugar Africa (Pty.) Ltd, Linzi Organic Chemical Inc. Ltd., Trans Furans Chemicals bvba, Central Romana Corporation, DalinYebo, Hebeichem, KRBL Ltd., Silva team S.p.a., LENZING AG. Major players compete based on product quality and pricing.

Milano parla il jazz: l'ottava edizione di JAZZMI
Tumblr media
Milano parla il jazz: l'ottava edizione di JAZZMI. "La mia speranza è che il linguaggio universale del jazz possa ispirare i paesi del mondo a guarire dai conflitti che li lacerano, a vivere meglio, a lavorare insieme per promuovere la pace.” - Herbie Hancock  "Se c’è una musica all’altezza dei tempi interessanti in cui ci è dato vivere, secondo il paradossale augurio cinese, questa musica è il jazz, linguaggio universale eppure capace di modularsi nel particolare, di accogliere nel suo immenso fiume gli affluenti di musiche distanti, di fondere insieme i più ambiziosi torrenti locali, di riprendere i fili di una lunga tradizione e di saper trovare sempre nuovi modi per spezzarli, riannodarli e ricominciare da più in alto, nuovi orditi, nuove forme, nuovi sogni. Come dice Herbie Hancock, ci sono tutte le ragioni dell’umano, nel jazz. Per questo a ogni edizione di JAZZMI siamo orgogliosi di mettere Milano al centro del jazz, di far vibrare all’unisono una grande musica e una grande città, di far sentire la vitalità della scena jazzistica contemporanea agli abitanti, agli ospiti e ai visitatori di una capitale delle arti. Questa ottava edizione in formato extra-large sta raccogliendo i complimenti dai maggiori festival internazionali per il numero crescente di concerti e per la qualità degli artisti. Ed è proprio lì che vogliamo portare Milano e il suo festival jazz. Sul tetto del mondo." - Luciano Linzi e Titti Santini | direttori artistici di JAZZMI - JAZZMI dal 2016 è prodotto da Associazione JAZZMI, Ponderosa Music & Art e Triennale Milano, in collaborazione con Blue Note Milano realizzato grazie al Comune di Milano – Assessorato alla Cultura, con il contributo del Ministero della Cultura, main partner Volvo e Intesa Sanpaolo e con la direzione artistica di Luciano Linzi e Titti Santini. "L'ottava edizione di JAZZMI segna un importante ritorno di Milano al centro del panorama jazzistico, con una programmazione raddoppiata per venticinque giorni di concerti ed eventi speciali. Questo festival - ha affermato l'assessore alla Cultura Tommaso Sacchi - non è solo un'occasione per celebrare la musica, ma un veicolo per promuovere la cultura in forme innovative e accessibili, raggiungendo pubblico sempre più vasto. JAZZMI sfida infatti le convenzioni, portando la musica in luoghi meno tradizionali e dando vita a esperienze culturali condivise attraverso la magia della musica." Giunto alla sua ottava edizione JAZZMI si conferma tra i più grandi festival europei, continuando a crescere e a reiventarsi. Tre settimane di concerti, eventi speciali, film, incontri con gli artisti, itinerari musicali, laboratori, in ogni parte di Milano, per far vibrare all’unisono una grande musica e una grande città. Un evento che si estende e si dirama, trasformando ogni angolo di Milano in un epicentro jazz, creando un’occasione unica per scoprire tutte le sfaccettature e i colori di questo straordinario genere musicale. Un’edizione ancora più ampia e variegata che traccia la mappa di una musica senza confini e racconta il nostro tempo attraverso le molte forme che il jazz assume in ogni parte del mondo. Un festival che vuole essere un’occasione di incontro e di armonia tra le culture all’insegna del linguaggio universale del jazz. JAZZMI ambisce a rappresentare una scena musicale composta da prestigiosi nomi del panorama jazz italiano ed internazionale, ma anche talenti emergenti e giovani band milanesi. Dai due poli principali Triennale Milano e Blue Note Milano, JAZZMI coinvolgerà tutta la città, dal Volvo Studio Milano ai grandi teatri come Teatro Arcimboldi, Teatro Dal Verme, Teatro Carcano e il Conservatorio di Milano passando dall’ADI Design Museum, Armani/Silos, Eataly Smeraldo, Cascina Nascosta e BiM. Non mancheranno i club, come Alcatraz, Fabrique, Magazzini Generali, Santeria, Biko, Circolo Magnolia, BASE, e neanche nuove location come Horto Restaurant e Armani/Bamboo Bar. IL JAZZ: Triennale Milano Teatro ospiterà in occasione dell’inaugurazione Antonio Sánchez, uno dei batteristi jazz di spicco della scena contemporanea nonché autore della colonna sonora del film vincitore premio Oscar Birdman. Sempre durante la prima serata si esibirà anche il giovane pianista e compositore Thomas Umbaca. Co-leader del giovane e poliedrico duo inglese Binker & Moses, Binker Golding si prepara a trasportare il pubblico nel suo vortice musicale mentre Ben Lamar Gay con il suo Ensemble, porterà in scena l’avant-jazz e la poliritmia brasiliana. Un’esperienza immersa nelle sonorità chitarristiche brasiliane quella di Lucas Santtana & The Solar Band mentre i Christian McBride’s New Jawn daranno vita a uno spettacolo grintoso tra jazz, mainstream, power-play soulful e ballad. Torna sul palco come solista Roberto Gatto dedicando il suo nuovo progetto a Tony Williams, uno dei più influenti batteristi della storia del jazz. JAZZMI come ogni anno ha un occhio attento verso la scena d’avanguardia jazz londinese, quest’anno con Ashley Henry e Mansur Brown. Una serata all’insegna di spettacoli straordinari che animeranno la notte di Halloween come la visionaria Sun Ra Arkestra, il trio Don Karate, il concerto/talk di Francesco Cavestri Trio e il dj set di Populous. Il Blue Note Milano apre le sue porte alla splendida sassofonista Camilla George e a uno spettacolo in cui Robin McKelle interpreterà in modo del tutto personale le canzoni della leggendaria Ella Fitzgerald. Gigi Cifarelli porterà sul palco uno spettacolo dedicato al leggendario Nat King Cole, mentre la bassista e cantautrice Nik West il suo groove funky. Appuntamento speciale quello con il plurivincitore di Grammy Jeff Lorber che sarà accompagnato sul palco da Jimmy Haslip e Sonny Emory. Judith Hill metterà in scena uno spettacolo dal sound soul accompagnato da ballate per pianoforte che si fondono con un funk psichedelico. Stacey Kant, star del panorama jazz mondiale, ci regalerà una serata di rara bellezza. Atmosfere brasiliane con la portavoce della bossa nova elettronica Bebel Gilberto, una serata all’insegna dell’innovazione con l’eclettico Mike Stern e la sua band, il grande ritorno di John Scofield affiancato da un formidabile trio e un momento intimo con il sassofonista e flautista statunitense Kenny Garrett. JAZZMI sarà presente come sempre anche nei grandi teatri cittadini: Il primo sold out del festival, a più di un mese dall’evento, è quello del Teatro Arcimboldi che ricambia calorosamente l’abbraccio di Gilberto Gil e i suoi 45 anni di straordinaria carriera. Il Teatro Dal Verme aprirà le sue porte al virtuoso della tromba libanese Ibrahim Maalouf che torna in Italia dopo tredici anni di assenza, a Paolo Fresu che si esibirà in duo con Omar Sosa in un mix vincente di jazz, musica cubana e world music e a Sergio Cammariere che, con un quartetto d’eccezione, recupera dal baule dei ricordi i suoi successi più acclamati, dipingendoli di nuove sfumature. Come da tradizione ci saranno appuntamenti anche al Conservatorio di Milano che ospiterà il ritorno di Fabrizio Bosso e il suo quartetto con un progetto speciale dedicato a Stevie Wonder. Grande chiusura del festival in compagnia della pianista al giapponese Hiromi che presenterà “Sonicwonder”, un progetto in grado di spaziare tra l’ambito classico e il rock, intrecciandosi a sfumature jazz. Per la prima volta JAZZMI arriva al Teatro Carcano per due appuntamenti speciali. Il primo appuntamento sarà a tinte iberiche insieme a Niño Elche, una delle voci più distintive del flamenco contemporaneo e Raül Refree, entrambi stretti collaboratori di Rosalia; sempre la stessa sera presenterà il suo nuovo progetto dedicato al poeta Garcia Lorca, il chitarrista e compositore sardo Paolo Angeli. Il secondo concerto invece vedrà un trio di musicisti che hanno deciso di unire le proprie caratteristiche con lo scopo di ricordare il grande pianista Cecil Taylor e sono: Enrico Rava, Andrew Cyrille e William Parker. JAZZMI crea scenari unici in cui immergersi completamente nella musica anche attraverso numerosi club come Santeria Toscana 31 in cui il sound jazz, funk e hip hop del chitarrista Oscar Jerome farà da padrone. Suonerà anche il trio d’eccezione che mescola la tradizione degli Gnawa di cui Majid Bekkas è depositario, l’anima black di Shabaka Hutchings (Deus ex-machina dei Sons of Kemet e Comet is Coming) e il batterista americano Hamid Drake. Sul palco salirà Lakecia Benjamin, talentuosa artista del jazz contemporaneo, ma ci sarà spazio anche per i Thee Sacred Souls, trio emergente di San Diego, pronto a sfondare qualsiasi barriera musicale. Il Circolo Magnolia vedrà esibirsi il poliedrico Tom Skinner, compositore e produttore londinese nonché batterista dei The Smile di Thom Yorke. Saranno protagonisti di JAZZMI anche l’acclamato trio britannico GoGo Penguin pronti a far scatenare il pubblico dell’Alcatraz così come la stella internazionale del jazz, il grande bassista Marcus Miller. BIKO Milano vedrà come protagonisti il giovane gruppo funk più caldo del momento, i Lehmanns Brothers, ma anche il compositore, produttore e polistrumentista londinese DoomCannon. L’atmosfera del club milanese si scalderà con il virtuosismo e il soul di Reuben James e con una dose equilibrata di blues e gospel evocata dal quartetto di Immanuel Wilkins. Direttamente dagli anni ’70 l'energia e la vitalità di Cory Henry, ex Snarky Puppy si preparano a conquistare il palco del Fabrique mentre invece la festa di chiusura sarà nelle sapienti mani di Makaya McCraven a BASE MILANO. Il Teatro La Bolla (Bollate) vedrà un eccezionale appuntamento fuori calendario con l’eclettico astro nascente del Jazz, vincitrice di due Grammy, Samara Joy. IL JAZZ È FREE: L’amore per la musica si comunica facendola, ascoltandola insieme, vivendola nel proprio quartiere con i cittadini e le cittadine che condividono e attraversano lo stesso spazio. Questo è, da sempre, il progetto e l’obiettivo della sezione JAZZMI FREE, il capitolo del nostro festival dedicato agli eventi gratuiti e diffusi sul territorio urbano. Il 14 e il 21 settembre, il Volvo Studio Milano, ospiterà la quinta edizione di JAM THE FUTURE. Music for new planet, il contest in cui cinque giovani jazz band under 35 si sfideranno con composizioni originali ispirate a importanti temi relativi alla Sostenibilità. La jazz band che otterrà il miglior punteggio avrà l’opportunità di esibirsi e presentare la propria musica su uno dei palchi più prestigiosi di JAZZMI 2023. Il Volvo Studio Milano ospiterà, come di consueto, anche concerti del festival. Si comincia con l’appuntamento di giovedì 19 ottobre in compagnia del funambolico teatro canzone di Germano Lanzoni, il cui spettacolo prevede una replica la settimana successiva, sempre di giovedì (26 ottobre). Sabato 21 ottobre ci attendono invece le creazioni dal vivo al pianoforte di Django Bates. Le ibridazioni musicali dei “Jokers” di Vincent Peirani, nell’incontro tra jazz, rock ed elettronica, sono invece protagoniste dell’appuntamento fissato per domenica 22 ottobre. Le ragioni del sostegno di Volvo Car Italia a JAZZMI sono espresse da Chiara Angeli, Head of Commercial Operations Volvo Car Italia: “Alla base del rinnovato sostegno di Volvo Car Italia a JAZZMI anche per il 2023 c'è la nostra fedeltà a uno dei principi fondamentali di Volvo, che è quello della centralità della Persona e della valorizzazione delle sue eccellenze. Nello specifico di JAZZMI, al di là dei concerti ospitati al Volvo Studio Milano, questo approccio si traduce nell'iniziativa concreta di Jam The Future, la rassegna per musicisti emergenti che anticipa il festival e offre ai giovani talenti una reale opportunità. Un modo che crediamo costruttivo ed efficace di rendere la Musica accessibile a tutti. Ma se allarghiamo la prospettiva, troviamo un altro interessante punto di contatto fra la Musica e il valore portante del marchio Volvo, la Sicurezza. Entrambi sono valori universali ed è solo in un ambiente sicuro - nel quale ci sentiamo protetti e liberi - che noi siamo in grado di esprimere pienamente noi stessi e la nostra creatività. Svolgere i temi della Sicurezza è dunque per noi non solo il fine della nostra azione ma anche uno stimolo da fornire a chi si esprime con la sensibilità e la prospettiva proprie di un artista.” JAZZMI torna anche all’Armani/Silos per una speciale inaugurazione. Lo spettacolo che Arto Lindsay porterà nel cuore del Tortona District di Milano è una sperimentazione estetica di sound art, una vera e propria esplorazione applicata alla natura del suono e del suo rapporto con l’ascoltatore. L’artista, attraverso una performance site specific, regalerà un’esperienza travolgente, originale e irripetibile. Sempre all’Armani/Silos torna per la terza edizione la rassegna The Body of Jazz con 6 pellicole sul mondo del jazz. Ad aprire la rassegna “Ombre” di John Cassavetes. A seguire: “Il cantante di Jazz” di Alan Crosland, “La storia di Glenn Miller” di Anthony Mann, “Mo’ better blues” di Spike Lee, “All that jazz” di Bob Fosse. E ancora grande musica all’ADI Design Museum, la piazza del design, con Francesco Bearzatti e il suo progetto sui Led Zeppelin “Post Atomic Zep”. JAZZMI torna anche nei bellissimi spazi di alcuni hotel della città, luoghi simbolo della vita milanese lo Sheraton Diana Majestic, il The Westin Palace, lo Sheraton Milan San Siro e l’Hilton Milan. Anche in questa ottava edizione di JAZZMI non mancheranno i Meet the Artist, un’occasione informale nella quale incontrare alcuni artisti del Festival, che dialogheranno con il pubblico nella accogliente atmosfera di Cascina Nascosta. E in occasione dell’ottavo compleanno di JAZZMI, Intesa Sanpaolo si conferma main partner del Festival per un’edizione straordinaria e ancora più ampia all’insegna della grande musica internazionale. La partnership si inserisce nel più ampio sostegno della Banca a favore di tutte le realtà capaci di promuovere talenti ed eccellenze locali valorizzando il territorio attraverso iniziative che mettono al centro la bellezza dell’arte e l’importanza della cultura. “Come Intesa Sanpaolo affianchiamo JAZZMI da sette anni, l’abbiamo vista crescere, svilupparsi nel tempo e diventare un appuntamento fortemente atteso dai milanesi e non solo. Il nostro sostegno conferma ancora una volta lo stretto legame con Milano e il ruolo propositivo con cui la Banca partecipa allo sviluppo culturale del suo territorio”, commenta Fabrizio Paschina, Executive Director Comunicazione & Immagine Intesa Sanpaolo. Imperdibile concerto offerto grazie alla collaborazione con Apple Music: Moses Boyd. Batterista, produttore, compositore e ex resident della BBC 1Xtra, pluripremiato, fieramente indipendente e forte di una vasta gamma di influenze ed esperienze, pronto per spiccare il volo portandoci con lui verso orizzonti musicali lontani e inesplorati. Aprono il concerto gli Addict Ameba. Inoltre, su Apple Music sarà disponibile la pagina dedicata agli artisti del festival con una speciale playlist per scoprirli in anteprima. Un concerto coinvolgente e raffinato presso il prestigioso Armani/Bamboo Bar, al settimo piano di Armani Hotel Milano: Simone Prattico Trio. Definito dalla stampa "un musicista eccezionale, di rara versatilità e con una vera e propria vocazione internazionale", Simone Prattico, batterista e compositore, è caratterizzato da uno stile di esecuzione unico nel suo genere, che riflette l'alchimia tra la cultura mediterranea e l'impronta della musica afroamericana, tratto distintivo e biglietto da visita di questo ricercatissimo batterista. Horto Restaurant, splendida location all’ultimo piano di The Medelan, ospiterà la Woody Gipsy Band, sinonimo di gioia, energia e stile e i The Dining Rooms, progetto di Stefano Ghittoni e Cesare Malfatti che spazia tra dub, blues e soul. NIGHT & DAY Milano suona jazz anche in molti locali e partner culturali di JAZZMI: la sezione Night & Day del festival ospita quest’anno più di 120 eventi auto prodotti che alimenteranno con la loro linfa l’anima jazz della città. Tantissimi i locali cittadini che partecipano: A Buon Rendere, Alibi Music & Spirits, Bachelite cLab, Birrificio la Ribalta, Bob food and more, Bonaventura Music Club, Cascina Nascosta, Centro Asteria, Corte dei Miracoli, Dasein, Eataly Smeraldo, Fabbrica del Vapore - Fattoria Vittadini, LabArca, Melis Melis, Mou, Nik's & co., Osteria Democratica, ARCI Bellezza, Ribalta Barona, Ristorante 4cento, Ristorantino Creanza, Rosa Grand Starhotel, Sala MediCinema, Santeria Paladini 8, Santeria Toscana 31, Spank Milano, SpazioPontano35, UN locale palco cucina, mare culturale urbano, Ville Lumière.

By the time they take the stage, a wonderfully golden orange summer sunset is well under way. And The Little Lies are once again conjuring equal measures of nostalgia, fun, and one great rock show.
Headlining Saturday's Taste of Edmonds at Frances Anderson Playfield, the band treated a capacity crowd to Fleetwood Mac's catalogue of classics, a set list in which each song, each impeccable performance, was eclipsed by the one after it and the one after that... and so on. The band immersing the City of Edmonds in its own brand of high-octane Mac.
Standing in for Lindsey Buckingham, Andrew Vait brings not only his own smokin' guitar work and lead vocals to the stage, he also graces the audience with an infectious charm and offbeat wit that thoroughly engages. Standing in for Christine McVie on vocals, keys, and acoustic guitar, Linzy Collins graces the audience with both a genuine willingness to abandon herself to the music and a vocal range that effortlessly moves from smoky to heavenly.
The band's monster beating heart, its not-so-secret weapon, is its rhythm section. On bass, Harry Wirth III, whose presence is impossible to ignore whether he's simply towering over the stage or actively stalking about like a rock 'n roll T-Rex. On the drumkit (occasionally electric guitar as well), Cyra Wirth absolutely embodies the rhythm and soul of a badass rock drummer whose "Tusk” solo always stokes the adrenalin.
Together, the Wirth clan locks crowds of thousands to the beat they lay down.
The Taste of Edmonds performance also featured a substitute for Stevie Nicks regular Miranda Zickler. This time it was Alicia Amiri taking on Stevie Nicks vocal duties, bringing to the performance a deeper tone and a wicked intensity that perfectly captures the bitterness in some of Nicks's lyrics.
In the end, The Little Lies were again a revelation of fun, energy, and high-octane rock 'n roll. They are, of course, a faithful tribute band that delivers. But they're also experts of the highest level at re-energizing that music with a passion that left Saturday night's audience definitely...
Wanting more.

youtube
A coupla nights ago I set YouTube to play some random music for me. Since YouTube knows me so well, inevitably it began serving up songs by The Beatles. And more songs by The Beatles. And then more songs by The Beatles. Of course I didn't intervene because yeah. I'm a Beatles fan.
Inevitably, YouTube arrived at the David Frost show presentation of Hey Jude. And the funny thing is—because this never happened before—is that I was suddenly reminded of Linzy's high school graduation.
Huh?
Not kidding. Linzy's high school graduation during which the school's band, The Wildcat Band, performed an instrumental version of Hey Jude that was specifically requested by the school's administration because they'd seen the band perform it at the Spring Concert.
Don't get me wrong, Hey Jude represents a pinnacle of songwriting. The Wildcat Band, however, found a different way to embody its spirit by performing a tenor sax solo over the full orchestra.
David Kim, by the way, is the young man on the sax. You can see my daughter, Linzy, in red cap and gown on acoustic guitar behind David to the left.
David, of course, pulls off a very sweet performance of Hey Jude's verses. I'm not sure how well the graduating seniors knew the lyrics. For sure their parents did. And if those parents weren't actively singing those lyrics, those lyrics were definitely singing in their heads.
It wasn't until the transition, though. You know the one. Where McCartney sings "and make it better, better, better, better, better, better... aahhhhhh" as his voice scales up, rising to the song's iconic crescendo. Well, David Kim on his tenor sax managed that same powerful crescendo landing, however, a half step below where we all knew he was going. And in that moment, a moment already filled with the full force of David's performance, he slides the note, with even more power, into place. 
In the room, taking this in myself, it was as if a button had been pressed, a key turned. Something... that unlocked the audience.
Something that launched it because.
Because as that one note slid thrillingly into the next...
The crowd lost it.
Lost it?
Yeah. The graduating class seated in the middle. Their parents, siblings, family, friends sitting in the bleachers. Members of the administration sitting on stage. Even the band itself.
Unglued.
Exploded. 
Jumped to their feet.
It was this wild energy, this shared emotion in that moment inhabiting the entire arena with one note informed by all the notes before it, serving as the electrifying connection literally inhabiting each of us with the same emotional experience.
I won't lie. It's a helluva thing.
Okay.
Maybe a year and a half before that electrifying moment at graduation, I twisted my daughter's arm sufficiently so that she took the stage during a talent show and fronted a rock band. During which she experienced the dance that occurs between musicians and audience.
The dance?
Yeah. Moves and countermoves. Actions and reactions. Calls and responses. 
Whip out one part of the equation, the other will come calling. Lean your guitar solo into the audience and spirit fingers will always appear right in front of the guitar strings and the guitarist's hand. Sustain a moment of vocal or instrumental passion... and the energy in the room blows up. And.
Ask the crowd to do something...
They do it.
It's a truth about performing arts you can count on. Certainly it's a truth about concert gigs that The Little Lies (for whom Linzy performs keys, acoustic guitar, and Christine McVie vocals) take advantage every opportunity they can.
Every time.
It's simply this thing music and musicians can do.
And in the last few days, a human super power of which I'm being reminded.
