ABOUT THE FILM
Real Geisha Real Women is a documentary by Peter MacIntosh about the lives of several women in Kyoto, Japan of various generations who are, or have been maiko and geiko (the Kyoto terms for geisha). Their stories are told in their own words as a series of vignettes without the use of a narrator. Rare footage of their journeys outside of Kyoto includes a hometown visit, a trip to Tokyo, as well as travels abroad.

Real Geisha Real Womenは、ピーター・マッキントッシュによるドキュメンタリー
である。さまざまな世代の、現役あるいは引退した舞妓や芸妓の女性たちの物語。それらが、ナレーターではなく、彼女たち自身によって語られてゆく。生まれ故郷を舞妓と訪ねたり、東京、あるいは海外への旅の様子など、普段の京都のお座敷だけでは見られない光景も描かれている。

ABOUT THE DIRECTOR

Peter Macintosh has lived in Kyoto Japan among the geisha community for more than 15 years. He has worked as a liasion and coordinator of Geisha or Japan related documentaries including productions for BBC, BNN, Swiss Television, National Geographic, A&E, and many more.

ピーター・マッキントッシュは京都の花街に15年以上住んでいる。芸者や日本に関するドキュメンタリーのコーディネーターや架け橋としてBBC放送、スイステレビジョン、ナショナルジオグラフィックを始め、数々のテレビ番組制作に携わっている。

The Story:

A relationship-crisis begins, when the girl tries to gain back her simple reality, when the man tries to regain his illusion. After all: which of both realities contains the more important truth about their relationship? It is a play about one of today’s common love-situation treated in a slightly black-humored version.

http://www.myspace.com/timlyddon

Pianist Tim Lyddon is making his debut in the Tokyo area. From the US, Tim has played at many jazz clubs in NYC including Birdland and Sweet Basil. He has also performed in Losangeles, Phoenix, Houston, Pennsylvania, new Jersey and Las Vegas. 2 Cds have been produced-Ive Traveled So Far and Shades of People. Both have been well received in the Tokyo area.

" He's armed with a slightly irreverent sense of humor that is sprinkled throughout Shades of People. It's safe to say Lyddon never met a
motif he could'nt weave into the fabric of an intro. He does it on all six standards and each is a delight.
JAZZ TIMES

"The Leonard Berstein ballad "Somewhere" is given an exquisite trio treatment with the band members acting in empathic unison. Chalk up another superb trio recording from Tim Lyddon. He makes it a pleasure to listen to jazz music."
ALL ABOUT JAZZ C. Michael Bailey

" Not since Keith Jarrett's powerful rendition on "Tribute" have I experienced such fire in a performance as "All The Things You Are"
WBGO's20Daniel Karcher
"
I've Traveled So Far is the best jazz piano trio recording in recent years. It's different from everything else." -- WBGO's Daniel Karcher.

"Tim's improvisations show the depth of an exceptionally mature musician." -- JAKI BYARD

Taxi to the Dark Side
(English with Japanese subtitles)
Academy Award `08 for documentary
The truth behind Bagram Air Base, Abu Ghraib, and
Guantanamo Bay

December 1, 2002, Afghanistan - An innocent
taxi driver, Dilawar, carrying 3 passengers, was
stopped by US forces and taken to Bagram
Air Base. Held in extrajudicial detention and
brutally beaten to make
him confess to false charges, he died 5 days later.

Centering on the case of Dilawar, Taxi to the
Dark Side examines American policy and practice
on torture and interrogation. Through news footage,
photos, and interviews with top brass in the Bush
administration, interrogators, lawyers, and even
a former detainee, a story unfolds of extreme
abuse and misuse of authority...

2008-12-17T18:32:00.004+09:00

Really looking forward to this gig on Sunday. Always fun doing Horace Silver's music and especially with these musicians. I played recently with Shimazu Kennichi for the first time and it was a really comfortable vibe. He used to be the pianist for one of very favorite singers, Jimmy Scott. Tenor sax man Seiichi Nakamura and I played a swingin' gig on December 25th at the Azabu Public Concert Hall near Roppongi and we've also been playing Horace Silver's music together since September. Bassist Jeff Curry and I are both from West Virginia and have the same birthday, Feb. 6th. We've hooked up on dozens of gigs over the past few years. He's equally at home on electric or acoustic bass which gives lots of options on a gig. Ko Omura (drummer) and I have played together a few times in the past 2 years. This is the first time for Ko and I to do H. Silver's music together. I know Ko and Jeff gig together often and for them to play with Kennichi will be no problem. For me, it's so important to have the rhythm section feeling comfortable with each other.

This is the first gig at Kamome doing Horace Silver's music. I know that I will be back there on April 9 doing another program of Silver's music. So, for 1/11/09 I'm calling this gig vol. 1. April 9 will be vol.2 and hopefully we can continue to play that room and bring some fresh Horace Silver tunes each time.

Because of the holidays and everyone's busy schedules, rehearsal will be very limited for this gig. But, I think we're doing a lot of music that the musicians feel good about and will be enjoyable for the listener. For this gig we will most likely do these tunes:

Gregory Is Here
Peace
Summer In Central Park
Nutville
Room 608
Silver's Serenade
Senor Blues
and maybe I'll have some time this week to write an original that is "Silver-like".

Hope to see many folks at Kamome on Sunday 1/11/09.

今度の日曜日のライブ、本当に楽しみにしてます。ホレス・シルヴァーの曲を演奏するのはいつも楽しいのですが、特に今回のメンバーでやるのが楽しみです。ピアノの嶋津健一さんとはこの間初めてご一緒させて頂き、気楽な雰囲気でとてもやりやすかったです。彼は何と以前、僕が大好きなシンガーの一人、ジミー・スコットのピアニストでした。テナーの中村誠一さんとは、先月２５日、六本木の麻布区民ホールでのコンサートで共演させて頂いたり、去年の９月から一緒にホレス・シルヴァーの曲を演奏してきました。ベースのジェフ・カリーさんとは、同じウェスト・ヴァージニアの出身であり、何と誕生日が二人とも２月６日でもあります。過去数年間で、たくさんの仕事を一緒にしてきた仲間です。彼は、エレキとアコースティック、どちらでもいけるので、一つのライブにたくさんの味を提供してくれるのです。ドラムの大村亘さんとは、過去２年間に何度か一緒にプレイをしました。今回一緒にホレス・シルヴァーの曲を演奏するのは初めてです。大村さんとジェフはもう何度も一緒にプレイしているので、今回ピアノの嶋津さんと一緒にやるのも何の問題もないと思います。僕にとっては、リズムセクションが互いにやりやすい雰囲気であることが、何よりも大切なんです。

KAMOMEでホレス・シルヴァーの曲のライブをやるのは今回が初めてです。すでに４月９日にホレス・シルヴァーの新しいセットでまたライブをやることになっています。ですので、今度の１月１１日のライブをvol.1とし、４月９日がvol.2となります。その後もさらに同じ場所で毎回新しいホレス・シルヴァーの曲を提供し続けていけたらいいなと思っています。

年末年始で何かと忙しく、今回のライブでは限られたリハーサルしかできませんが、今回やる曲は我々みんながやり慣れて親しんでいる曲が多いですし、観客の皆様にも楽しんでいただけると思います。今回やると思われるのはだいたい次のような曲達です。

Gregory Is Here
Peace
Summer In Central Park
Nutville
Room 608
Silver's Serenade
Senor Blues
これに加えて、ひょっとしたら「シルヴァー調」のオリジナル曲を準備できるかもしれません。

それでは、１月１１日日曜日、KAMOMEでたくさんの皆様にお会いできますよう。

2008-11-12T18:14:00.003+09:00

みなさま、

ぐっと寒くなってきましたが、お元気でしょうか？
僕は先週末の怒濤のパーティー３連ちゃんを終えて、多少ボーッとしております。
来ていただいたみなさんはありがとうございました。

さて今週の木曜日（１３日）は御存じ"LAVA Lounge"です。
今回は最近の僕のお気に入りトランペッター、Neil Stalnakerのライブです。彼には一度僕のDJセッションで吹いてもらったことがあるのですが、その音の深さと太さは胸にぐっときます。彼のプロフィールを読んでもらえれば分かりますが、その経験と歴史がトランペットにそのまま出ています。是非一度ニールの音に触れに来てください。今回はジャズピアニスト、井上祐一さんとの共演です。
みなさんにはゆっくり食事もしていただけますので、お席の予約は僕にメールをください。チャージはありません。
お待ちしております。

Busy Week in Tokyo

2008-09-02T00:30:00.016+09:00

Wow! Since last week, I've been so busy I haven't had time to do this blog. I can' believe how much it rained in August.

Last week, we (my Quartet) did a gig at Kenny's in Ikebukuro with special guest Seiichi Nakamura.
ああ！先週からとっても忙しく、ブログを書く暇がありませんでした。８月中こんなに雨が降ったなんて信じられない。

先週、私達（私のカルテット）は池袋のケニーズバー(http://www.kennys.jp)で中村誠一氏[photos] http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=20075002&mode=photoをスペシャルゲストに迎えてのライブをしました。これは、洗足学園ミュージックショーケース[photos] http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=20342475&mode=photoの一部として８月２８日に行われる表参道でのコンサートに備えるため、スケジュールしたライブでした。これらのライブに向けての準備はとても楽しいものでした。新しい曲も覚えなければならなかったし、ホレス・シルヴァー生涯について勉強したり、バンドリハーサルもちゃんとやりました。実際そんな準備も楽しく、このホレス・シルヴァープロジェクトは今後も続けて行こうかと思っています。

This was a gig that I scheduled to help us get ready for our 8/28 concert in Omotesando as part of the Senzoku Music Showcase [photos] http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=20342475&mode=photo. It was a lot of fun preparing for those gigs. I had to learn a lot of new songs, spent some time reading and studying about Horace Silver's life and rehearsing the band. It was so much fun actually, I think I'm going to keep the Horace Silver Project going. Here some photos of the sound-check at the Kawai Concert Salon in Omotesando, Tokyo.

Recently, I went to Shinjuku Goldengai to one of my favorite places in Tokyo to hang-out. The name of the shop is Nana [photos]http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=20341730&mode=photo. It has a flamenco theme. It's a very small shop with some very unusual interior.
つい最近、新宿ゴールデン街の、集まってわいわいやるのにうってつけの、東京で私が好きな店の一つに行って来ました。名前はNana[photos]http://mixi.jp/view_album.pl?id=20341730&mode=photoといって、テーマはフラメンコ。とっても小さなお店で、内装が一風変わってるんです。

On Saturday 8/30, I spent most of the day walking around Omotesando, Harajuku and Aoyama taking photos, going to art galleries and meeting some really creative and interesting people.
I've heard that Laforet is really a center for creative pop culture in Japan. So, I spent some time walking around the building, looking in shops and noticing what people were wearing and buying.
８月３０日の土曜日は、一日の大半を表参道、原宿、青山エリアを歩いて過ごし、写真を撮ったり、美術館に行ったり、クリエイティブな面白い人達と出会ったりしました。

Yes, that IS a condom shop called CONDOMANIA!!!

Pop culture center Laforet
原宿ラフォーレは日本のポップカルチャーの源だ、と聞いたので、ビルの中を歩き回り、お店を覗き、人々がどんな服を身に付けまた買っているかを観察してみました。

After Laforet, I walked down the street and went into GYRE (http://gyre-omotesando.com/). I can't believe that building. So many beautiful shops, restaurants and galleries. I looked at an exhibition called Ecosophy. Next, I went into the Gallery White Room to see Eikoh Hosoe's (http://www.eikoh-hosoe.jp/index.html) exhibition of beautiful black and white photos. After leaving the gallery, I went to the top floor and was looking at the outside of a restaurant called Ukai-Tei (http://www.omotesando-ukaitei.jp). The staff came out and invited me inside and gave me about a 20 minute tour. I was shocked! It was the nicest restaurant I've ever seen. Of course it's very expensive (about ¥25,000/person) for dinner. I can only hope that someday I will be able to go there for dinner. It is really an incredible place. My time in the GYRE was unbelievably fun and surprising! I LOVE that building!

http://pingmag.jp/2008/03/12/omotesando-architecture/
ラフォーレの後は、通りを下って、GYRE(http://gyre-omotesando.com/)という建物に入りました。信じられないビルでした。美しいショップやレストランやギャラリーがたくさん入っています。「Ecosophy」という展覧会を観てみました。次に、Gallery White Roomに行き、細江英公(http://www.eikoh-hosoe.jp/index.html)の素晴らしい白黒写真展を鑑賞しました。ギャラリーを出て、最上階に行き、うかい亭(http://www.omotesando-ukaitei.jp)というレストランの外側を見ていました。ホールの係の方が出て来て、私を店内に入れてくれて、その上20分程の店内観覧ツアーをしてくれたんです。ものすごいショックでした！今まで見た中で一番素晴しいレストランでした。もちろんディナーのお値段は高い（25000円くらい）ですが。いつの日かそこへディナーを食べに行けるよう、ただ祈るばかりです。本当に素晴しい場所です。GYREで過ごしたひとときは、信じられないくらい楽しく、驚きがいっぱいでした。あのビル、大好きです！

http://pingmag.jp/2008/03/12/omotesando-architecture/

When I left GYRE, I walked around a few back streets of Ometesando, taking pictures of interesting shops and buildings. I was looking for the hpgrp GALLERY TOKYO (http://www.artdiv-hpf.com/tokyo). As I was standing outside in front of the gallery, a young guy walked past and invited me in. After a few minutes I went in and was surprised to find that the guy was RYOONO. It was his exhibition! We had a nice chat for about 30 minutes and he was even kind enough to take a photo with me in front of one his incredible paintings.

GYREを出たら、今度は表参道の裏道を何本か歩き、面白そうなショップやビルの写真を撮りました。hpgrp GALLERY TOKYO(http://www.artdiv-hpf.com/tokyo) を探していたんです。そこのギャラリーの外に立っていたら、若い男性が通り、私を中に招いてくれました。中に入ってしばらくして、この男性がRYOONOだったとわかり、ビックリしました。これは彼の展覧会だったんです！30分ほどお話をして、親切にも彼の作品の前で私と写真まで撮ってくださいました。

We had a nice conversation about creativity, art and music, live performance and many other things.
私達は、クリエイティビティや、芸術、音楽、ライブパフォーマンスなどいろいろな事について、楽しく話をしました。

Next, I went to Gallery 360 (http://www.360.co.jp) to see photographer Kyoko Nakashima's (http://www.tagboat.com/store/artworks/en/index.php?artist_id=1355) exhibition. It was nice to have a few minutes to talk with her also. She is very kind. I purchased one of her books of photos and have been enjoying them the past few days. I think she is going to Paris soon to do another exhibition.
次に、Gallery 360(http://www.360.co.jp)に行き、永島京子さん(http://www.tagboat.com/store/artworks/en/index.php?artist_id=1355)という写真家の展覧会を観ました。彼女とも少しお話ができてよかったです。やさしい方でした。彼女の写真のカタログを一冊購入し、ここ何日か眺めて楽しんでいます。彼女はもうすぐパリに行き、別の展覧会を開くとのこと。
Well, by this time, I was getting kind of tired. So, I walked around a little more taking photos until it started to rain really hard. It was so fun and interesting to feed my mind with new and creative things on Saturday. I'll have all week to think about these things, check websites of the artists and the galleries and shops I visited and plan my next day out.

Tuesday (8/26) and TONIGHT (8/28)!!!!!!

2008-08-28T12:53:00.004+09:00

Tonight!!! We're performing at the Senzoku Music Showcase in Omotesando! My quartet plus special guest Seiichi Nakamura will be doing an all Horace Silver program. If you have some time, come on out. Our last gig in Ikebukuro on Tuesday at Kenny's was packed. It was so great cause a lot of really creative people showed up to catch the music but, there was a lot of great networking and creative conversations happening. It was really nice to see that!

Some photos from our gig at Kenny's on Tuesday (8/26)

SPECIAL GIGS THIS WEEK!!!!!!!!

2008-08-24T14:18:00.004+09:00

This week I'm very excited to perform with my quartet and special guest Seiichi Nakamura http://saxphonetman.sakura.ne.jp/ (tenor sax). We will be doing two performances of Horace Silver's music. Horace, who continues to live in California today, has been a legend in the jazz world for over 50 years. His bands included many of the greatest players in jazz history performing Silver's compositions that have been jazz standards for decades.

On Tuesday night, we will be playing at one of my favorite jazz clubs in Japan, Kenny's Bar http://www.kennys.jp/ in Ikebukuro. Kenny really understands about the jazz life and atmosphere. Musicians always seem to enjoy playing there. I feel like I can be more creative in that room. For me, it's very important to have a room that I feel comfortable and and has a great "vibe". In July, many musicians can to sit-in with us at Kenny's. It was so nice! At most of my gigs in the U.S.A. , many musicians usually came by to sit-in and/or hang-out.

On Thursday (28) we will be performing in Omotesando at the Kawai Piano Salon. This is a project for Senzoku College of Music and Kawai Piano. We are very excited to have be chosen to play on this concert series. I hope to see all of you there!!!

BIZ Nite at Daikanyama's Tableaux

2008-08-19T02:34:00.004+09:00

Had a great time tonight at BIZ Nite hosted my Jon Lynch, President of Global Vision Media K.K. They produce JUICE magazine [ http://wwwjuicemusic.com ]. Jon is a great guy with a lot of positive energy.

My favorite presentation was by David Chester [ http://www.davidchester.com/ ] (you can see David in one of the photos below). David is a composer, producer and pianist. However, tonight his topic was "What You Need to Know Before you Make Your First Film". It was so interesting to hear David go through all the steps of his first film production. He basically entered the world of film with very little knowledge and made just about every mistake you could possibly make. It really gave me motivation to try some new projects! It was nice to have time after the presentation to talk with David and ask him a few questions.

I met several other people from advertising agencies, software companies, dancers, photographers, and many others.
The next Biz Nite is on September 8 at Tableaux in Daikanyama.
http://www.biznites.ning.com
http://www.tableaux.jp
http://www.davidchester.com

今晩はGlobal Vision Media 社の社長であるJon Lynch 氏主催のBiZ Nite に参加し、有意義なひと時を過ごしました。この会社は雑誌「JUICE」[ http://wwwjuicemusic.com ]も発行しています。Jonはポジティブなパワーに満ちあふれた素晴らしい人です。

一番良かったプレゼンテーションは、David Chester氏（上の写真の中に写っています）によるものです。David は作曲家でありプロデューサーであり、ピアニストでもあります。ですが、今晩の彼のトピックは、「あなたが初めて映画を撮る際知っておかなくてはならないこと」でした。氏が初めて自分の映画をプロデュースした時に踏んだ全ての手順を聞くのは、とても興味深かった。彼は、ほとんど何も知らずに映画の世界に飛び込み、そして犯しうる全ての失敗を犯した。何か新しいプロジェクトをやるのに、これほどのモチベーションがあるでしょうか！プレゼンテーションの後、 Davidと話をし、いくつか質問する機会に恵まれて良かった。

他にも、広告関係の方や、ソフトウェア会社の方、ダンサー、写真家などたくさんの方々と知り合うことができました。
次回のBiZ Niteは、９月８日、代官山のTableauxにて。

Favorite Japanese Magazines (in English)

2008-08-18T17:16:00.005+09:00

These are my favorite Japanese magazines (in English).

Most foreigners (and some Japanese) know about Metropolis. It's a FREE magazine that comes out every Friday afternoon. It has lots of info about concerts/clubs/movies/travel/food/bars and many other things.
http://www.metropolis.co.jp/default.asp

Japan, Inc is a great magazine (and many free e-mail newsletters) about the business scene in Japan. However, it's written in English. They tend to focus on new up-and-coming companies.
http://www.japaninc.com/

KEI is just a beautiful magazine about Japanese culture. This is a GREAT magazine. I often buy it and send copies to my Mom and daughter.

Had a great time doing the gig yesterday with bassist Stan Gilbert ( http://www.stangilbert.com ) at Time & Style at Roppongi Midtown. Time & Style (http://www.timeandstyle.com/ja/shop_midtown.html ) has another location in Jiyugaoka. We played there for jazz event producer Marco Mancini (founder or JAZZNIN magazine [ http://www.jazznin.com/ ]) 2 years ago. These locations are really good for playing.

Doing a duo with trumpet and bass can really be a lot of fun. However, it's quite challenging also. We have to really trust each other with the "time" and with "harmony" of each tune. But, Stan has been playing for so many years with great people, it's actually very easy to do a duo gig with him.

Before the gig, I was having a great conversation with Marco about design, new technology's influence on design and creativity and museums in Tokyo. I told him about some of my experiences working with museums in the 1980's in Washington, D.C. After the gig finished and we packed up, I walked outside of Midtown on my way to the subway. In front of Midtown there was a woman passing out flyers about an exhibition at the Laforet Museum Roppongi. She told me that last night and today were the final days of the exhibition/concert. She said if I had some time she could take me to the museum then. So, we got into a taxi and went straight to the museum. That was synchronicity! Serendipity!

What a pleasant surprise! It was an exhibition/concert by Keiko Koma ( http://www.keikokoma.com ) and Idaki Shin (http://www.idaki.co.jp/ ). I can't describe how the feeling was in the room but, it was one of the most creative experiences I've ever had.

At 6pm today (Sunday), I'm going back for the final performance.

On Wednesday, I visited the offices of Tokyo Art Beat. They have a great website ( http://www.tokyoartbeat.com ) which has very detailed information about art exhibitions around Tokyo and Yokohama every month. They also publish the Tokyo Art Map and distribute it for free around Tokyo. It's also available for download at their website ( http://www.tokyoartbeat.com ) and now on my website: http://www.neilstalnaker.com/tokyoartbeat.html

I'm trying to do some watercolors now. I don't really know what I'm doing but, I'm just looking for other avenues of expression. Also, I love pastels and soon want to start using oil paints. I'm just a beginner. I've also been trying to learn Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Designing posters/flyers/cardswebsites and taking photos are passions of mine also.

This has been such a fascinating week beginning with the MusicBiz Nite ( http://www.musicbizjapan.ning.com/ ) at Club 57, Tokyo Art Beat, ONGEN Tokyo ( http://mixi.jp/view_community.pl?id=3463009 ) meeting (new musicians collective organization in Tokyo), SUPER FUN gig with my new SEXTET at Airegin ( http://www.airegin.jp ) in Yokohama, Friday night at Roppongi Hills Club ( http://www.roppongihillsclub.com/visitor/dfw/en/index.html ) with bassist Jeff Curry and guitarist Todd Carver, Time & Style ( http://www.timeandstyle.com/ja/shop_midtown.html ) gig with Stan and the Keiko Koma Exhibition at Laforet Museum Roppongi.

Also, this past week, I re-opened my FACEBOOK page. Do you use FACEBOOK?
Many Japanese are now using FACEBOOK in addition to Mixi and Myspace. If you go to http://www.facebook.com/ and do a search for my name, you will find my FACEBOOK page. Let's be friends! I'm so surprised how many people I have reconnected with back in the USA and Europe in the last 5 days since opening my page again.

My performance schedule is a little slow for the next 10 days but, I'm excited about some new things that will be starting during that time. This week I will get back into classical trumpet playing on Tuesday. I'm having the first rehearsal for my new brass quintet. I'm so excited to do this project! Can't wait! On Wednesday I have a big band rehearsal and hopefully this week I'll be rehearsing my Quintet for a concert of Horace Silver music in Omotesando at the Kawai Piano hall on August 28. Its a joint project between Senzoku College of Music and Kawai. And finally this week, I'm going to start writing music again. It's been many months since I did and new compositions. I'm really looking forward to writing some new music.

昨日は、六本木ミッドタウンのTime & Style というショップでベーシストのStan Gilbert ( http://www.stangilbert.com ) と楽しいライブをしました。このTime & Style (http://www.timeandstyle.com/ja/shop_midtown.html ) には自由が丘にも店舗があります。そちらの店舗でも、ジャズのイベントプロデューサーであるMarco Mancini （JAZZNIN マガジン[ http://www.jazznin.com/ ]の発行者）に頼まれて２年前に演奏したことがあります。どちらも演奏しやすい雰囲気の良い所です。

トランペットとベースのデュオというのは、とても楽しいものにもできますが、と同時に結構大変でもあります。それぞれの曲のリズムとハーモニーにおいて、お互いを心から信頼できないといけません。でもStan はこれまで、あらゆる素晴らしいプレイヤーと仕事をして来たので、彼とのデュオは実際とってもやり易いのです。

ライブの前にMarcoと、デザインについてや、新しいテクノロジーがデザインと創造力にどんな影響を及ぼしたか、そして東京の美術館事情について非常に実のある会話をしました。私がワシントンDCで８０年代に美術館で演奏していたことも話しました。ライブが終わって片付けをし、地下鉄に向かってミッドタウンの外に出ると、ミッドタウンの入り口前で、一人の女性がラフォーレミュージアム六本木で開催中の催しのチラシを配っていました。話を聞くと、今日と明日がその展覧会／コンサートの最終日だということ。彼女は、もし時間があるなら今これからそこへ連れて行ってあげるわよ、という。そこで、私達はタクシーに乗り込み、その場所へ直行したのでした。まさにシンクロ！思いがけない幸運！

何という気持ちのよいサプライズでしょう！それは、高麗恵子さん ( http://www.keikokoma.com ) といだきしんさん　(http://www.idaki.co.jp/ ) の展覧会／コンサートでした。その場のフィーリングがどんなであったか、口では説明できませんが、私が経験した中でも最もクリエイティヴな経験の一つでした。

http://www.keikokoma.com/
http://www.idaki.co.jp/

今日（日曜日）の６時に再び最後のパフォーマンスを観に行きます。

この前の水曜にTokyo Art Beat の会社を訪ねました。この団体は、素晴らしいホームページ( http://www.tokyoartbeat.com )を作っておられ、東京横浜エリアの詳しい美術展情報を毎月アップしています。またTokyo Art Map という無料刊行物を発行していて、近郊にて無料配布しています。ウェブでダウンロードする事も可能です。この団体のウェブ( http://www.tokyoartbeat.com )か、私のホームページ上（http://www.neilstalnaker.com/tokyoartbeat.html）でもダウンロードできます。

最近水彩画を始めてみようかと思っています。自分が一体何をしたいのかよくわかりませんが、表現をするもう一つの道になると思って。パステルだって好きだし、油彩だってやってみたいと思ってます。完全に初心者ですが。アドビのイラストレーターとフォトショップも勉強しています。ポスターやチラシや名刺やウェブのデザインと写真を撮ることも私の情熱です。

今週は、Club 57 でのMusicBiz Nite ( http://www.musicbizjapan.ning.com/ )に始まり、Tokyo Art Beat 、音源東京 ( http://mixi.jp/view_community.pl?id=3463009 ) （東京の新しいミュージシャン団体です）の会合、横濱エアジン ( http://www.airegin.jp ) での最高の初セクステットライブ、金曜夜の六本木ヒルズクラブ ( http://www.roppongihillsclub.com/visitor/dfw/en/index.html )でのベーシストJeff とギタリストTodd Carver とのお仕事、Time & Style でのStan とのギグ、そしてラフォーレミュージアム六本木での高麗恵子さんの展覧会、ととても濃いものとなりました。

また、先週あたりにFACEBOOK ページを再開しました。皆さんはFACEBOOK使ってますか？多くの日本人が今ではミクシィとMyspace の他にこのFACEBOOKを使っているようです。http://www.facebook.com/にいって、私の名前で検索すると私のFACEBOOKページが見れます。お友達になりましょう！自分のページを再開したことで、ここ５日ほどの間に、故郷アメリカやヨーロッパの何人の友人と再びコンタクトがとれたか、本当に驚きです。

これから１０日間ほどはスケジュール的には若干ヒマですが、この間に新しく始めることにワクワクしています。今週火曜に、久しぶりにクラシックの方もまたやり始めようということで、私の新しいブラスクインテットのリハーサルをやります。非常に楽しみにしてたんです、このプロジェクト！待ちきれません！水曜にはビッグバンドのリハが入っていますし、８月２８日に表参道のカワイのホールで催される、私のクインテットのHorace Silver コンサートのためのリハも今週どこかに入れたいと思っています。これは、洗足学園音大とカワイのジョイントプロジェクトです。そして今週ようやく曲を書き始めようと思っています。最後にオリジナル曲を書いてからもう何ヶ月も経ってしまっていて、新しい曲を作るのが本当に楽しみです。

I'm really happy to be doing this gig. Doing this gig with some great musical friends and in a room that has THAT jazz vibe I remember back in D.C.-Pittsburgh-NYC. We're going to play a few of my originals, several tunes by Horace Silver and Harold Land and maybe some things by guys in the band. In the past few years, I've been doing mostly quartet gigs so, I'm happy to have James Mahone on the gig playing tenor. August 7th, we'll use the same band again and add Pat Hallaran on trombone. I'm busy now trying to decide what music to do for sextet at Airegin on August 7.

1/25/08 Clinic/Concert in Minami Ashigara, Japan

2008-01-26T23:14:00.000+09:00

Yesterday, we (East/West Unit...Hakuei Kim, Jeff and Curry, Tsuda Keita and myself) had a great time doing 2 afternoon clinics and an evening concert in the Minami Ashigara Cultural Center Hall. At 2pm, we started with a clinic for about 100 elementary school students. They were so great to work with and very appreciative. We talked a little about the history of jazz and played some examples for them of music from New Orleans style to Duke Ellington and also funk and free jazz as well as swing/bebop. Because they brought their recorders, they were able to join us and jam a little on Ellington's C Jam Blues. We talked about how music can create different moods and feelings, especially while watching a movie. The students called out some feelings and/or situations for us and we played free and improvised on their feelings. It was a really fun creativity exercise. Around 3:30 another group of students came (Junior High School brass band). I had a nice time for about an hour listening to them and making comments. At 7pm we did an evening concert in the hall for a few hundred very supportive listeners. Since the hall was small, we played without any mics or p.a. It was nice to do an acoustic concert.

昨日私達は（East/West Unit...Hakuei Kim, Jeff Curry and Keita Tsuda)南足柄市文化会館でジャズクリニックとコンサートをしました。すごい楽しかった！昨日の午後は１００人の小学生が来てくれた。ニューオーリエンズジャズの例をいくつか実演し、スイング期やビバップ期、フリージャズやファンクも実演した。フリージャズの時は、子供達にカンディンスキーの絵を見せて、そこから思い浮かぶイメージを言ってもらい、バンドのメンバーにもその絵を見せて、そのイメージをもとに即興で曲を演奏する、という非常に面白い試みでした。ある時には、子供達に曲に合わせて手を叩かせて、立ってリズムを取らせたり。また、全員がリコーダーを持って来ていたので、デューク・エリントンの「C Jam Blues」を一緒に演奏し、更に前もって練習して来ていたホルストの「木星」をバンドも含めて全員で演奏。
その後は、中学生の吹奏楽部のクリニックでしたが、ここで他のメンバーは休憩を取って、私が一人でやりました。
夜は、ホールでのコンサート。何百人かのお客さんが来てくれました。普段は、このEast/West UnitのライブではECMのようなスタイルを即興でやったりしますが、今回は古いスタンダードナンバーをやりました。
この一連の活動は、今朝の神奈川新聞で写真付きで掲載されたんですよ！
今回のような昼間学校を対象に行うワークショップは、アメリカでも数百回やってきており、今後も日本で同じようなワークショップを精力的に行っていきたいです。

QUOTES: "It makes sense to say this isn't just the big bad chemical companies trying to engineer something to jam down your throats." - Ed Schafer

Bush's Ag Secretary Nominee is GMO Shill

News Type: Opinion - Fri Nov 2 2007 [edited]

http://minnieapolis.newsvine.com/_news/2007/11/02/1067645-bushs-ag-secretary-nominee-is-gmo-shill

On Halloween, Pres. Bush nominated Edward Schafer for the post of Agriculture Secretary. Schafer is a two-time North Dakota governor and former co-chairman of the Governors Biotechnology Partnership. While the White House is highlighting Schafer’s experience at directing emergency aid to the 1997 flooding disaster, voters and the Senate would do well to consider his role in shielding the biotech industry from consumer product labeling laws.

According to an online search, Ed Schafer was the former co-chairman of the Governors Biotechnology Partnership. He was instrumental in getting former Pres. Clinton to back off of requirements that GM modified foods be labeled as such. See the article from The Guardian in May of 2000, titled, "Clinton bows to food producers."

There was quite a flurry of press about Mr. Schafer in 2000. You might like to look up the Salon article from its archive, "Stalking the wild Frankensalmon," from May 5, 2000. Quote:

"On Wednesday, 13 governors joined forces with the biotech industry to try to persuade American consumers to become more enthusiastic consumers of engineered food. "It makes sense to say that this isn't just the big, bad chemical companies trying to engineer something to jam down your throats," said North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer… How political is the coalition? Consider that two of the group's three Democratic governors are from states housing the headquarters of biotech gorillas Monsanto and DuPont."

And an editorial and letter to editor in Gentech, also from May 2000, has even more of his own words about the 'promised land' of GM foods...

" In 1998, the Governor let his constituents know his innermost feelings about the "new" agriculture. In his State of the State address, he said: "...today different winds blow across our fields of waving wheat. Washington has changed the rules on...agriculture."

His 1999 address included a commercial for Monsanto's pesticide: "Every day I read about a new innovation...Roundup-ready crops..."

This year, the governor made no mistake about his intentions: "Genetic engineering will make farms smaller, more specialized and more profitable."

This ill-informed politician is the chief executive of an agricultural state, North Dakota, which produces enormous surpluses. Farmers in his state are paid subsidies not to grow corn and soybeans, yet the governor believes that genetically modified foods are the keys to easing world hunger. "

EXTRACT: The biotechnology industry has managed to persuade many normally clear-minded people, sadly including many scientists, that they should support GM crops if they are 'pro-science'.

The important fact that the science has actually emerged against GM crops has gone unnoticed. Perhaps it would help to point out that genetic engineering is not a science, it is only a technique. Rejection of GM does not mean a rejection of science.

A Soil Association study has found that many supermarkets are selling products from animals fed on GM crops, despite having 'non-GM' policies

For over a decade, the public has rejected GM foods. Intuitive concerns had been reinforced by the highly publicised findings of the first Government sponsored animal trials, in which strange lesions were found in the guts of GM-fed rats. To their credit, the supermarkets adopted non-GM policies and, by October 2002, they were using no GM (genetically modified) ingredients in their own-brand products.

Yet, for some years the Soil Association and other organisations have been concerned about the use of GM animal feed. Due to a legal loop-hole, although foods or animal feeds that directly contain GM ingredients must be labelled as ‘GM’, there is no such requirement for meat and dairy foods produced from animals fed on GM crops.

Any use of GM animal feed could thus be kept hidden from consumers. Last year, in noticeably evasive replies to letters from our supporters, the supermarkets admitted that their non-GM policies did not cover animal feed. The Soil Association decided to conduct an in-depth investigation.

Our findings – presented in our report, Silent invasion – the hidden use of GM crops in livestock feed – are deeply concerning. By testing animal feeds and reviewing the industry’s sourcing policies, we have found that high levels of GM animal feed are being used. 73% of the feeds we tested contained some GM soya and 75% were labelled as ‘GM’. Based on our findings, around 60% of the maize and 30% of the soya in the dairy and pig sectors are GM.

What this means is that nearly all non-organic milk, dairy products (such as cheese and yoghurt) and pork products sold in UK shops and restaurants are produced from GM-fed animals. So, most consumers are unwittingly eating foods produced from GM crops every day.

We also reviewed progress on the science of the safety of GM crops, since the early days of the debate when there was little to go on. The Food Standards Agency had been assuring consumers that they would not be exposed to GM material by eating foods from GM-fed animals. However, four studies by different scientific teams have now found that small amounts of GM DNA can be detected in milk and tissues from GM-fed animals.

It also turns out that the first animal feeding trials were not flukes. Very many of the animal trials carried out since then have found deeply worrying effects. These include toxic effects in body organs, allergic reactions, unexplained deaths and stunted growth in the offspring. This raises serious questions about how GM-fed animals can be considered suitable for producing human food.

In the view of the Soil Association, there has been a failure of both the market and the scientific advisory process. The biotechnology industry has managed to persuade many normally clear-minded people, sadly including many scientists, that they should support GM crops if they are 'pro-science'.

The important fact that the science has actually emerged against GM crops has gone unnoticed. Perhaps it would help to point out that genetic engineering is not a science, it is only a technique. Rejection of GM does not mean a rejection of science.

Until the scientific community come to terms with the research and supports a responsible – and genuinely science-based - approach, the Soil Association strongly recommends that people try to avoid foods produced from GM-fed animals. Among the supermarkets, Marks-and-Spencer is far ahead of the others, with all of their milk and fresh meat produced from non-GM feed. We urge other supermarkets and catering companies to follow their lead and to meanwhile to label any products from GM-fed animals so that at least people can choose.
