When the groundbreaking pianist Chick Corea died unexpectedly, at 79, in February 2021 , he left a legacy of experimentation, preserving and expanding the jazz tradition. Over more than a half-century, he deftly navigated the music’s continually shifting boundaries. Corea started his career playing with the Afro-Cuban percussionist Willie Bobo and spent time with the bossa nova stalwart Stan Getz. His presence in Miles Davis’s “Bitches Brew” ensemble, and later, his leading role in Return to Forever, gave him a seminal role in the origins of 1970s jazz fusion. But Corea didn’t stop there, devoting himself to straight-ahead jazz trios and quartets; duos with greats like Herbie Hancock and Keith Jarrett; outside-the-box collaborations with the bluegrass banjo player Béla Fleck; and even to playing Mozart Concertos with Bobby McFerrin. His long stint with the Elektric Band showed he never abandoned fusion, and his 2019 release, “Antidote,” recorded with an array of Spanish and … [Read more...] about Chick Corea, the Master Mixer of Jazz’s Past and Future

At least 39 dead in a fire at a migrant center in Mexico near the U.S. border
At least 39 people were killed after a fire broke out at a migration center along the U.S.-Mexico border , officials said Tuesday. The fire began Monday night at a facility run by the National Migration Institute in Ciudad Juarez, the agency said in a statement. Dozens more were injured, with 29 people taken to four hospitals in "delicate-serious condition," it said, adding that there were 68 men from Central America and South America being held in the facility at the time of the fire. Images showed rows of bodies laid out under silver sheets as rescue teams, firefighters and police responded to the scene. The cause of the fire was not immediately known. The agency said that it "strongly rejects the acts that led to this tragedy," without elaborating on what they may have been. Authorities were investigating and the government's National Human Rights Commission had been called in to help the migrants, it said. The facility, in Chihuahua state, is close to the … [Read more...] about At least 39 dead in a fire at a migrant center in Mexico near the U.S. border

Barack Obama Falsely Claims Guns Are Number One Killer of Children
On Monday evening, former President Barack Obama tweeted his response to the Nashville Christian school shooting by repeating the left’s false claim that guns are the number one killer of children. On March 23, 2023, Breitbart News reported that actor Billy Porter made the same false claim, screaming that “the leading cause of death in children are guns” during an appearance on ABC’s The View . Porter’s claim, which is now Obama’s claim as well, became a common one among leftists and non-fact-checking moderates in the summer of 2022 after a study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was widely reported in late May that year. FOX News ran a story titled “Guns now the leading cause of death for US children, per CDC.” The story noted that CDC figures show firearm-related deaths of people ages 0-19 totaled 4,368 in 2020, while motor vehicle deaths for the same age range totaled 4,036. And during a June 2, 2022, speech, President Joe Biden reacted to the … [Read more...] about Barack Obama Falsely Claims Guns Are Number One Killer of Children
