Lo swing-blues scanzonato, ironico ed irresistibile di due big anticonformisti della musica italiana

JazzAscona 2019 propone in apertura due big della musica italiana come Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini. Voce e chitarra il primo, voce e pianoforte il secondo, il loro duo, denonomato “The Swing Brothers”, è un sodalizio nato quasi per caso nel quale si coglie il piacere di fare musica assieme in maniera ironica e scanzonata. Due delle figure più originali e anticonformiste della canzone italiana, Baccini e Caputo si sono incontrati per la prima volta nel 2016. Un colpo di fulmine che ha prodotto l’album Chewing Gum Blues, nei cui dieci brani i due artisti ripartono dai fondamentali, swing e blues soprattutto, stringendo una briosa alleanza. Dal vivo, gli Swing Brothers Caputo e Baccini presentano le gioiose canzoni del loro album e ripropongono i pezzi forti dei loro apprezzati repertori, da Un sabato italiano a Il Garibaldi innamorato di Caputo fino a Le donne di Modena o Sotto questo sole di Baccini.

La carriera di Sergio Caputo inizia verso la fine degli anni Settanta al Folk Studio, lo storico locale di Roma. Nel 1983 esce il suo primo album, Un sabato italiano, che da allora è rimasto un classico. Negli ultimi anni è tornato con decisione alle sonorità jazzistiche e latine. Fra le sue collaborazioni spuntano nomi eccellenti come Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Tony Scott, Mel Collins (King Crimson), Tony Bowers (Simply Red), Enrico Rava, Roberto Gatto e molti altri. Lo stile di Caputo affonda le radici nel jazz e spazia nei ritmi latini, con l’uso insolito e innovativo del linguaggio letterario, che attinge dal quotidiano e dalle nevrosi metropolitane.

Cantautore della scuola genovese, Francesco Baccini inizia la sua carriera musicale mentre lavora come scaricatore al porto della sua città. Il primo disco è del 1989, Cartoons, che vince la Targa Tenco come migliore opera prima. L’ascesa verso il successo continua nel 1990 con l’album Il pianoforte non è il mio forte, che contiene il singolo Le donne di Modena e Genova blues, un duetto con Fabrizio De André. Nel 1990 vince il Festivalbar con la canzone Sotto questo sole, eseguita assieme a Paolo Belli e i Ladri di Biciclette. Poi, nel 1992, con l’album Nomi e cognomi ottiene il suo maggiore successo commerciale, affermandosi definitivamente come erede della tradizione dei cantautori liguri.

“The Swing Brothers” è il progetto nato dall’incontro tra Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini, due grandissimi della musica italiana che, quasi per caso, hanno iniziato questa nuova avventura insieme.

La magie s’est opérée, et cela a donné l’album Chewing Gum Blues, dix morceaux entraînants qui repartent des fondamentaux swing et blues. Sur scène les Swing Brothers Caputo et Baccini présentent à la fois les joyeuses chansons de leur album et quelques-unes des meilleures de leurs répertoires respectifs, comme Un sabato italiano ou encore Il Garibaldi innamorato de Caputo, et Le donne di Modena ou encore Sotto questo sole de Baccini.

2013.02.23 / koshigaya EASYGOINGS

From left to right: Bill Sienkiewicz, Bernie Wrightson, Joe Sinnott, and Bob Layton. What a great lineup! I'm such a fan of Bill's that I can spell his name without checking...and I hold each of the others in equally-high regard.

It went as well as I could have possibly hoped. They all had great stories and opinions to share, and it seemed mostly like a nice, easygoing four-way conversation. I put in a couple of questions but I was able to pursue the Ideal Moderator Role: just watch the clock and call on people during the Q&A.

I hope I thanked them all properly. They were all quite generous up there. And for the record, Joe Sinnott is just about the nicest guy there is, onstage and off...a man of immense cheer.

Ellis is an artist who goes by his last name and he was my first stranger on this day, Fourth of July 2012, which landed on a Wednesday. He's a native of Portland, although he once tried to "escape" (his verb) to France. He's a graduate of Reed College, the friendly, easygoing liberal arts rival to my alma mater, Lewis & Clark College. He was working on this Sharpie artwork - "Portland - it's a people thing" -- before I encountered him, and I complimented him on the incorporation of faces into the Burnside Bridge scene.

He's a photographer as well, although much more accomplished than me. From his shoulder bag, he took out some examples of his work: a lovely nude, a photo of then-Senator Barack Obama at a Portland event in 2008, Tim Butler of the Psychedelic Furs performing in Portland's Crystal Ballroom, a lovely portrait of <A HREF="">a street person in Paris (France) applying her makeup, and a photo of author Colson Whitehead. I'd recently read Whitehead's most recent novel, "Zone One," and I commented to Ellis that I didn't know that Whitehead was black. Thank you so much for participating in my 100 Strangers project and for a great conversation - best wishes.

89/100 of my attempt at the 100 Strangers Project.

The Thing from Another World 1951

Watch the skies, everywhere! Keep looking. Keep watching the skies!

—Ned “Scotty” Scott

www.popscreen.com/v/7aMWr/The-Thing-from-Another-World Full Feature

www.youtube.com/v/T5xcVxkTZzM Trailer

This is one of the major classics of 50s sci fi movies. Released in April of 1951, it was the first full-length film to feature a flying saucer from outer space, which carried a hostile alien. The budget and the effects are typical B-grade stuff, but the acting and pacing are well above the usual B levels. Kenneth Toby and Margaret Sheriden star. James Arness (more known for his westerns) plays The Thing.

Howard Hawks' early foray into the science fiction genre took advantage of the anti-communist feelings of the time to help enhance the horror elements of the story. McCarthyism and the Korean War added fuel to the notion of Americans stalked by a force which was single of mind and "devoid of morality." But in the end, it is American soldiers and scientists who triumph over the evil force - or the monster in the case of this film. Even today, this is considered one of the best of the genre.

Film review by Jeff Flugel. June 2013

There's not a lot new or particularly insightful I can offer when it comes to discussing the seminal sci-fi flick, The Thing from Another World that hasn't been written about ad naseum elsewhere. One of the most famous and influential of all 1950s creature features, it kicked off more than a decade of alien invasion and bug-eyed monster movie mayhem, inspired a host of future filmmakers (one of whom, John Carpenter, would go on to direct his own version of the story in 1982), and remains one of the best-written and engaging films of its kind.

Loosely (and I do mean loosely) adapted from John W. Campbell's novella, "Who Goes There?," The Thing is legendary director Howard Hawks' lone foray into the science fiction/ horror genres, but it fits comfortably into his filmography, featuring as it does Hawks' favorite themes: a group of tough professionals doing their job with ease, good-humored banter and practiced finesse; a bit of romance with a gutsy dame who can easily hold her own with the boys; and lots of overlapping, razor-sharp dialogue. Featuring a script by Charles Lederer and an uncredited Ben Hecht, The Thing is easily the most spryly written and funniest of all 50s monster movies. In fact, it's this sharpness in the scripting, and the extremely likeable ensemble cast of characters, rather than the now-familiar story and somewhat unimaginative monster design, that makes the film still feel fresh and modern to this day.

There's likely few people out there reading this who don't know the story of The Thing like the back of their hand, but here goes...When an unidentified aircraft crashes close to a remote research station near the North Pole, Captain Pat Hendry (Kenneth Tobey, in the role of his career) and his squad are dispatched there to investigate. Dr. Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite) heads the scientific contingent there, and he informs Hendry that he thinks the downed craft is possibly "not of this earth." A joint team of soldiers and scientists head out to the crash site and find an actual, honest-to-goodness flying saucer lying buried under the ice.

The spaceship is destroyed while the men try to melt the ice around it with thermite bombs, but they find a lone, 8-foot-tall extraterrestrial occupant frozen nearby and bring the body back to the outpost in a block of ice. Dr. Carrington and his crew of eggheads want to study the thing, but Hendry is adamant that it should be kept as is until he gets word from his superior in Anchorage, General Fogerty. It wouldn't be a monster movie without something going pear-shaped, of course, and before you know it, a careless mistake results in the creature being thawed out of his iceberg coffin and going on a bit of a rampage, taking out a number of sled dogs and a few unsuspecting scientists along the way. The rest of the film details the tense battle between the surviving humans and the coldly intelligent, remorseless alien invader, which seems virtually unkillable, impregnable to cold, bullets and fire...

The set-up for the film, and how everything eventually plays out, might seem overly familiarly nowadays, but in 1951, this was cutting-edge stuff, at least in cinemas. The Thing plays as a veritable blueprint of how to make a compelling "alien monster-on-the-loose" movie. Howard Hawks not being particularly well-versed, or even interested in, science fiction per se likely worked to its benefit, as he ended up making, as he so often did in his other films, what is first-and-foremost a well-oiled entertainment, rather than simply a genre exercise.

Typical of a Hawks film, The Thing is meticulously designed, composed and shot, but in such a way as to appear offhand. Hawks almost never went in for showy camera angles or flashy effects. His technique was nearly invisible; he just got on with telling the story, in the most straightforward, unfussy way. But this easy, seemingly effortless style was very carefully considered, by a shrewd and knowing mind. As Bill Warren, author of one of the best (and certainly most encyclopedic) books about 1950s sci-fi filmmaking, Keep Watching the Skies, notes in his detailed analysis of the film:

As most good movies do, The Thing works in two areas: sight and sound. The locale is a cramped, tunnel-like base; the men are confined within, the Thing can move freely outdoors in the cold. Compositions are often crowded, with more people in the shot than seems comfortable, reinforcing the idea of confinement After the Thing escapes, only the alien itself is seen standing and moving alone.

This feeling of a cold, hostile environment outside the base is constantly reinforced throughout the film, and a real tension mounts when, towards the climax, the highly intelligent Thing, itself immune to the subzero arctic conditions, turns off the compound's heating, knowing the humans inside will quickly die without it. (The freaky, otherworldly theremin-flavored music by Dimitri Tiomkin adds a lot to the eerie atmosphere here.)

As groundbreaking and well-structured as the plot of The Thing was (and is), what makes the film play so well today is the great script and the interaction of a bunch of seasoned character actors, who toss off both exposition and pithy bon mots in such a low-key, believable manner. This is a truly ensemble movie, and the fact that it doesn't feature any big name stars really adds to the overall effect; no one really hogs all the limelight or gets the lion's share of good lines. Hawks was a director who usually worked with the biggest names in the business, but, much as in the earlier Air Force, he was equally at home working with a cast of rock-solid character actors.

All this talk of Howard Hawks as director, when it's actually Christian Nyby who is credited with the job, has long been a source of speculation with fans of the film. Todd McCarthy, in his bio Howard Hawks: The Grey Fox of Hollywood, seems to clear the issue up once and for all (though really, after viewing enough Hawks films, the results speak for themselves):

The perennial question surrounding The Thing From Another World has always been, Who actually directed it, Christian Nyby or Howard Hawks? The sum of participants' responses make the answer quite clear. Putting it most bluntly, (associate producer) Ed Lasker said "Chris Nyby didn't direct a thing. One day Howard was late and Chris said,'Why don't we get started? I know what the shot should be.' And I said, 'No, Chris, I think we'll wait until Howard gets here." Ken Tobey testified, "Chris Nyby directed one scene. Howard Hawks was there, but he let Chris direct one scene. We all rushed into a room, eight or ten of us, and we practically knocked each other over. No one knew what to do." Dewey Martin, Robert Cornthwaite and Richard Keinen all agreed that Hawks was the director, and Bill Self said, "Chris Nyby was a very nice, decent fellow, but he wasn't Howard Hawks."

Nyby had been Hawks' editor on a number of films, and Hawks apparently decided to help his collaborator establish a name for himself by allowing him directorial credit on the film. This seemingly altruistic gesture didn't mean that Hawks wasn't involved in virtually every aspect of the making of the film, however, and ultimately, The Thing did little for Nyby's directing career, at least on the big screen (he did go on to a long and busy career directing for numerous television programs, however.)

Bill Self was told at the time that Hawks didn't take directing credit on The Thing because it was planned as a low-budget film, one in which RKO didn't have much confidence. But, as critics have been saying ever since it was released, The Thing is a Howard Hawks film in everything but name. The opening scene of various members of the team bantering is so distilled as to be a virtual parody of Hawksian overlapping dialogue. Even more than Only Angels Have Wings, the picture presents a pristine example of a group operating resourcefully in a hermetically sealed environment in which everything in the outside world represents a grave threat. (3)

In addition to all the masculine camaraderie and spooky goings-on, one of the best aspects of The Thing is the fun, charming little tease of a romance between Capt. Hendry and Nikki (top-billed Margaret Sheridan). Nikki works as Prof. Carrington's assistant and is not merely the requisite "babe" in the film. True to the Hawksian norm, she's no pushover when it comes to trading insults with the men, nor a shrinking violet when up to her neck in perilous situations. Unlike most actresses in 50s monster movies, she doesn't utter a single scream in The Thing

and in fact, it's her practical suggestion which gives Bob, Hendry's ever-resourceful crew chief (Dewey Martin), the notion of how to finally kill the monster. Lederer and Hecht's screenplay hints at the backstory to Nikki and Pat's relationship in humorous and oblique ways, and their flirtation amidst all the chaos adds sparkle to the film but never gets in the way of the pace of the story. One nice little throwaway exchange near the finale encapsulates their verbal give-and-take, as Nikki playfully pokes the temporarily-befuddled Hendry, as his men scurry about, setting Bob's plan in motion.

Nikki: Looks as if the situation's well in hand.

Hendry: I've given all the orders I'm gonna give.

Nikki: If I thought that were true, I'd ask you to marry me.

Sheridan, a former model signed to a 5-year contract by Hawks, is quite good here, but after The Thing her career never really caught fire and she retired from acting a few years later. The closest thing to a star turn in the film is Kenneth Tobey as Capt. Hendry. Tobey racked up an impressive number of credits throughout his nearly 50-year-long career, generally as gruff, competent military men or similar types, and he was always good value, though it's as Capt. Hendry in The Thing that he truly shines. He consistently humanizes the no-nonsense, take charge man of action Hendry by displaying an easygoing approach to command. Most of Hendry's men call him by his first name, and delight in ribbing him about his budding romance with Nikki, and he responds to all this joshing in kind. When things get hairy, Tobey's Hendry doesn't have to bark his orders; it's clear that, despite the friendly banter, his men hold him in high esteem and leap to do his bidding at a moment's notice.

Many of the other members of the cast, while none of them ever became household names, will likely be recognizable from countless other roles in both film and television. Hawks gave Dewey Martin co-star billing in The Big Sky a few years later. Robert Cornthwaite kept busy for decades on stage and television, as well as in supporting roles in films such as Monkey Business, Kiss Me Deadly and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? John Dierkes (Dr. Chapman) and Douglas Spencer (Scotty) both had juicy roles in the western classic Shane, as well as many other movies too numerous to name. Sharp-eyed viewers will also recognize Eduard Franz, Paul Frees (he of the famous voice) and Groucho Marx's right-hand man on You Bet Your Life, George Fenneman, in pivotal roles. And of course we mustn't forget 6' 7" James Arness (years before becoming renowned as Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke) as the hulking Thing.

A quick note on the "remake": John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), a bleak, grisly and brilliant take on the story, was a box-office dud when first released, but has since attained well-deserved status as a modern classic. While most fans seem divided into two camps - those who love the more restrained, old-fashioned thrills of the original, and those who prefer the more visceral, paranoiac Carpenter version - I happen to treasure both films equally and revisit each of them often. The Carpenter version is by far the gutsier, unsettling one, emphasizing as it does the "trust no one," shape-shifting "the alien is one of us" scenario imagined by John W. Campbell, but the Hawks' film is the most fun, with a far more likeable array of characters, working together to defeat an implacable menace. Each has its own clear merits. I wouldn't want to do without either film, and frankly see no need to choose one over the other.

"Every one of you listening to my voice...tell the world. Tell this to everybody, wherever they are: Watch the skies. Everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the skies.”

Lo swing-blues scanzonato, ironico ed irresistibile di due big anticonformisti della musica italiana

JazzAscona 2019 propone in apertura due big della musica italiana come Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini. Voce e chitarra il primo, voce e pianoforte il secondo, il loro duo, denonomato “The Swing Brothers”, è un sodalizio nato quasi per caso nel quale si coglie il piacere di fare musica assieme in maniera ironica e scanzonata. Due delle figure più originali e anticonformiste della canzone italiana, Baccini e Caputo si sono incontrati per la prima volta nel 2016. Un colpo di fulmine che ha prodotto l’album Chewing Gum Blues, nei cui dieci brani i due artisti ripartono dai fondamentali, swing e blues soprattutto, stringendo una briosa alleanza. Dal vivo, gli Swing Brothers Caputo e Baccini presentano le gioiose canzoni del loro album e ripropongono i pezzi forti dei loro apprezzati repertori, da Un sabato italiano a Il Garibaldi innamorato di Caputo fino a Le donne di Modena o Sotto questo sole di Baccini.

La carriera di Sergio Caputo inizia verso la fine degli anni Settanta al Folk Studio, lo storico locale di Roma. Nel 1983 esce il suo primo album, Un sabato italiano, che da allora è rimasto un classico. Negli ultimi anni è tornato con decisione alle sonorità jazzistiche e latine. Fra le sue collaborazioni spuntano nomi eccellenti come Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Tony Scott, Mel Collins (King Crimson), Tony Bowers (Simply Red), Enrico Rava, Roberto Gatto e molti altri. Lo stile di Caputo affonda le radici nel jazz e spazia nei ritmi latini, con l’uso insolito e innovativo del linguaggio letterario, che attinge dal quotidiano e dalle nevrosi metropolitane.

Cantautore della scuola genovese, Francesco Baccini inizia la sua carriera musicale mentre lavora come scaricatore al porto della sua città. Il primo disco è del 1989, Cartoons, che vince la Targa Tenco come migliore opera prima. L’ascesa verso il successo continua nel 1990 con l’album Il pianoforte non è il mio forte, che contiene il singolo Le donne di Modena e Genova blues, un duetto con Fabrizio De André. Nel 1990 vince il Festivalbar con la canzone Sotto questo sole, eseguita assieme a Paolo Belli e i Ladri di Biciclette. Poi, nel 1992, con l’album Nomi e cognomi ottiene il suo maggiore successo commerciale, affermandosi definitivamente come erede della tradizione dei cantautori liguri.

“The Swing Brothers” è il progetto nato dall’incontro tra Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini, due grandissimi della musica italiana che, quasi per caso, hanno iniziato questa nuova avventura insieme.

Ces deux figures anticonformistes de la chanson italienne se sont rencontrés la première fois en 2016. La magie s’est opérée, et cela a donné l’album Chewing Gum Blues, dix morceaux entraînants qui repartent des fondamentaux swing et blues. Sur scène les Swing Brothers Caputo et Baccini présentent à la fois les joyeuses chansons de leur album et quelques-unes des meilleures de leurs répertoires respectifs, comme Un sabato italiano ou encore Il Garibaldi innamorato de Caputo, et Le donne di Modena ou encore Sotto questo sole de Baccini.

Baccini und Caputo sind zwei originelle, nonkonformistische Figuren aus der Welt der italienischen Canzone. 2016 sind sie sich begegnet – Liebe auf den ersten Blick, geistreiche Allianz. Sogleich wurde das erste Album Chewing Gum Blues produziert, auf dem die zwei Musiker an der Basis beginnen, vor allem mit Swing und Blues. Im Konzert präsentieren die Swing Brothers Caputo und Baccini die fröhlichen Lieder ihres Albums und interpretieren die besten Stücke aus ihren bevorzugten Repertoires, von Un sabato italiano über Caputos Il Garibaldi innamorato bis zu Le donne di Modena oder Baccinis Sotto questo sole.

Today was the wedding of my friends Jean and Bryan. I shot the wedding as my wedding gift to them. Shooting the wedding was a really smooth, happy, surprisingly stressless experience, and I mostly like the images I got.

I think I've found my own personal secret for shooting weddings: Don't do it for money. When money isn't involved, all the pressure melts away and I can enjoy the experience. Of course, it helps when the couple getting married is as easygoing and fun as this couple.

I am still not sure why Jean was out on the sidewalk at the end of the wedding with a bottle of champagne in her hand. Maybe she was just happy that the wedding was over.

I'm back at home, soaking my weary feet after shooting my first wedding today with dearoot.

Post-wedding shoot reflections:

1. Good wedding photographers who get paid a lot probably deserve every penny.

2. Thank heavens for the really cool, easygoing bride that takes everything in stride.

3. Tag-teaming the shoot with a good photographer/friend is definitely the way to go. They take all the good shots, but you both get the credit! Sweet!

4. Digital photography has made my job much easier and much harder at the same time. Now any joe with a 2.0 megapixel camera thinks they should be right there for all the action, stepping on your toes during every important moment that you're trying to capture. I think that wedding photography probably now has just as much to do with diplomacy and people management as it does composition and exposure. Politely wrangling the prodigious peanut gallery of well-wishing photographers was definitely the most exhausting part of the event.

5. Beware the meddlesome relative who constantly interrupts your work to make sure you know that he wants you to get lots and lots of candids. I get the message, pops!

Ces deux figures anticonformistes de la chanson italienne se sont rencontrés la première fois en 2016. La magie s’est opérée, et cela a donné l’album Chewing Gum Blues, dix morceaux entraînants qui repartent des fondamentaux swing et blues. Sur scène les Swing Brothers Caputo et Baccini présentent à la fois les joyeuses chansons de leur album et quelques-unes des meilleures de leurs répertoires respectifs, comme Un sabato italiano ou encore Il Garibaldi innamorato de Caputo, et Le donne di Modena ou encore Sotto questo sole de Baccini.

Der unbekümmerte, ironische, unwiderstehliche Swing-Blues zweier grosser Nonkonformisten der italienischen Musik

JazzAscona 2019 präsentiert gleich zu Beginn zwei Grosse aus der italienischen Musikszene: Sergio Caputo und Francesco Baccini, Vocals und Gitarre der eine, Vocals und Piano der andere. Ihr Duo heisst “The Swing Brothers” und ist quasi per Zufall entstanden, aus purer Freude am zusammen Musizieren, unbekümmert und ein bisschen ironisch. Baccini und Caputo sind zwei originelle, nonkonformistische Figuren aus der Welt der italienischen Canzone. 2016 sind sie sich begegnet – Liebe auf den ersten Blick, geistreiche Allianz. Sogleich wurde das erste Album Chewing Gum Blues produziert, auf dem die zwei Musiker an der Basis beginnen, vor allem mit Swing und Blues. Im Konzert präsentieren die Swing Brothers Caputo und Baccini die fröhlichen Lieder ihres Albums und interpretieren die besten Stücke aus ihren bevorzugten Repertoires, von Un sabato italiano über Caputos Il Garibaldi innamorato bis zu Le donne di Modena oder Baccinis Sotto questo sole.

Two great nonconformists of Italian music and their easygoing, ironic and irresistible swing blues

JazzAscona 2019 presents two great stars of Italian music: Sergio Caputo and Francesco Baccini. The two, voice and guitar the former, and voice and piano, the latter, form the “The Swing Brothers”. Members of a band that came to be almost by chance in 2016, the two artists clearly enjoy each other’s company on stage, in shows that are ironic and easygoing. Baccini and Caputo are two of the most original, nonconformist musicians in the Italian scene; together they produced Chewing Gum Blues, a record that goes back to the basics of swing and blues. In their live show they will present their joyful album songs, as well as their greatest hits, such as Caputo’s Un sabato italiano and Il Garibaldi innamorato or Baccini’s Le donne di Modena and Sotto questo sole.

The Thing from Another World 1951

Watch the skies, everywhere! Keep looking. Keep watching the skies!

—Ned “Scotty” Scott

This is one of the major classics of 50s sci fi movies. Released in April of 1951, it was the first full-length film to feature a flying saucer from outer space, which carried a hostile alien. The budget and the effects are typical B-grade stuff, but the acting and pacing are well above the usual B levels. Kenneth Toby and Margaret Sheriden star. James Arness (more known for his westerns) plays The Thing.

Howard Hawks' early foray into the science fiction genre took advantage of the anti-communist feelings of the time to help enhance the horror elements of the story. McCarthyism and the Korean War added fuel to the notion of Americans stalked by a force which was single of mind and "devoid of morality." But in the end, it is American soldiers and scientists who triumph over the evil force - or the monster in the case of this film. Even today, this is considered one of the best of the genre.

Film review by Jeff Flugel. June 2013

There's not a lot new or particularly insightful I can offer when it comes to discussing the seminal sci-fi flick, The Thing from Another World that hasn't been written about ad naseum elsewhere. One of the most famous and influential of all 1950s creature features, it kicked off more than a decade of alien invasion and bug-eyed monster movie mayhem, inspired a host of future filmmakers (one of whom, John Carpenter, would go on to direct his own version of the story in 1982), and remains one of the best-written and engaging films of its kind.

Loosely (and I do mean loosely) adapted from John W. Campbell's novella, "Who Goes There?," The Thing is legendary director Howard Hawks' lone foray into the science fiction/ horror genres, but it fits comfortably into his filmography, featuring as it does Hawks' favorite themes: a group of tough professionals doing their job with ease, good-humored banter and practiced finesse; a bit of romance with a gutsy dame who can easily hold her own with the boys; and lots of overlapping, razor-sharp dialogue. Featuring a script by Charles Lederer and an uncredited Ben Hecht, The Thing is easily the most spryly written and funniest of all 50s monster movies. In fact, it's this sharpness in the scripting, and the extremely likeable ensemble cast of characters, rather than the now-familiar story and somewhat unimaginative monster design, that makes the film still feel fresh and modern to this day.

There's likely few people out there reading this who don't know the story of The Thing like the back of their hand, but here goes...When an unidentified aircraft crashes close to a remote research station near the North Pole, Captain Pat Hendry (Kenneth Tobey, in the role of his career) and his squad are dispatched there to investigate. Dr. Carrington (Robert Cornthwaite) heads the scientific contingent there, and he informs Hendry that he thinks the downed craft is possibly "not of this earth." A joint team of soldiers and scientists head out to the crash site and find an actual, honest-to-goodness flying saucer lying buried under the ice.

The spaceship is destroyed while the men try to melt the ice around it with thermite bombs, but they find a lone, 8-foot-tall extraterrestrial occupant frozen nearby and bring the body back to the outpost in a block of ice. Dr. Carrington and his crew of eggheads want to study the thing, but Hendry is adamant that it should be kept as is until he gets word from his superior in Anchorage, General Fogerty. It wouldn't be a monster movie without something going pear-shaped, of course, and before you know it, a careless mistake results in the creature being thawed out of his iceberg coffin and going on a bit of a rampage, taking out a number of sled dogs and a few unsuspecting scientists along the way. The rest of the film details the tense battle between the surviving humans and the coldly intelligent, remorseless alien invader, which seems virtually unkillable, impregnable to cold, bullets and fire...

The set-up for the film, and how everything eventually plays out, might seem overly familiarly nowadays, but in 1951, this was cutting-edge stuff, at least in cinemas. The Thing plays as a veritable blueprint of how to make a compelling "alien monster-on-the-loose" movie. Howard Hawks not being particularly well-versed, or even interested in, science fiction per se likely worked to its benefit, as he ended up making, as he so often did in his other films, what is first-and-foremost a well-oiled entertainment, rather than simply a genre exercise.

Typical of a Hawks film, The Thing is meticulously designed, composed and shot, but in such a way as to appear offhand. Hawks almost never went in for showy camera angles or flashy effects. His technique was nearly invisible; he just got on with telling the story, in the most straightforward, unfussy way. But this easy, seemingly effortless style was very carefully considered, by a shrewd and knowing mind. As Bill Warren, author of one of the best (and certainly most encyclopedic) books about 1950s sci-fi filmmaking, Keep Watching the Skies, notes in his detailed analysis of the film:

As most good movies do, The Thing works in two areas: sight and sound. The locale is a cramped, tunnel-like base; the men are confined within, the Thing can move freely outdoors in the cold. Compositions are often crowded, with more people in the shot than seems comfortable, reinforcing the idea of confinement After the Thing escapes, only the alien itself is seen standing and moving alone.

This feeling of a cold, hostile environment outside the base is constantly reinforced throughout the film, and a real tension mounts when, towards the climax, the highly intelligent Thing, itself immune to the subzero arctic conditions, turns off the compound's heating, knowing the humans inside will quickly die without it. (The freaky, otherworldly theremin-flavored music by Dimitri Tiomkin adds a lot to the eerie atmosphere here.)

As groundbreaking and well-structured as the plot of The Thing was (and is), what makes the film play so well today is the great script and the interaction of a bunch of seasoned character actors, who toss off both exposition and pithy bon mots in such a low-key, believable manner. This is a truly ensemble movie, and the fact that it doesn't feature any big name stars really adds to the overall effect; no one really hogs all the limelight or gets the lion's share of good lines. Hawks was a director who usually worked with the biggest names in the business, but, much as in the earlier Air Force, he was equally at home working with a cast of rock-solid character actors.

All this talk of Howard Hawks as director, when it's actually Christian Nyby who is credited with the job, has long been a source of speculation with fans of the film. Todd McCarthy, in his bio Howard Hawks: The Grey Fox of Hollywood, seems to clear the issue up once and for all (though really, after viewing enough Hawks films, the results speak for themselves):

The perennial question surrounding The Thing From Another World has always been, Who actually directed it, Christian Nyby or Howard Hawks? The sum of participants' responses make the answer quite clear. Putting it most bluntly, (associate producer) Ed Lasker said "Chris Nyby didn't direct a thing. One day Howard was late and Chris said,'Why don't we get started? I know what the shot should be.' And I said, 'No, Chris, I think we'll wait until Howard gets here." Ken Tobey testified, "Chris Nyby directed one scene. Howard Hawks was there, but he let Chris direct one scene. We all rushed into a room, eight or ten of us, and we practically knocked each other over. No one knew what to do." Dewey Martin, Robert Cornthwaite and Richard Keinen all agreed that Hawks was the director, and Bill Self said, "Chris Nyby was a very nice, decent fellow, but he wasn't Howard Hawks."

Nyby had been Hawks' editor on a number of films, and Hawks apparently decided to help his collaborator establish a name for himself by allowing him directorial credit on the film. This seemingly altruistic gesture didn't mean that Hawks wasn't involved in virtually every aspect of the making of the film, however, and ultimately, The Thing did little for Nyby's directing career, at least on the big screen (he did go on to a long and busy career directing for numerous television programs, however.)

Bill Self was told at the time that Hawks didn't take directing credit on The Thing because it was planned as a low-budget film, one in which RKO didn't have much confidence. But, as critics have been saying ever since it was released, The Thing is a Howard Hawks film in everything but name. The opening scene of various members of the team bantering is so distilled as to be a virtual parody of Hawksian overlapping dialogue. Even more than Only Angels Have Wings, the picture presents a pristine example of a group operating resourcefully in a hermetically sealed environment in which everything in the outside world represents a grave threat. (3)

In addition to all the masculine camaraderie and spooky goings-on, one of the best aspects of The Thing is the fun, charming little tease of a romance between Capt. Hendry and Nikki (top-billed Margaret Sheridan). Nikki works as Prof. Carrington's assistant and is not merely the requisite "babe" in the film. True to the Hawksian norm, she's no pushover when it comes to trading insults with the men, nor a shrinking violet when up to her neck in perilous situations. Unlike most actresses in 50s monster movies, she doesn't utter a single scream in The Thing

and in fact, it's her practical suggestion which gives Bob, Hendry's ever-resourceful crew chief (Dewey Martin), the notion of how to finally kill the monster. Lederer and Hecht's screenplay hints at the backstory to Nikki and Pat's relationship in humorous and oblique ways, and their flirtation amidst all the chaos adds sparkle to the film but never gets in the way of the pace of the story. One nice little throwaway exchange near the finale encapsulates their verbal give-and-take, as Nikki playfully pokes the temporarily-befuddled Hendry, as his men scurry about, setting Bob's plan in motion.

Nikki: Looks as if the situation's well in hand.

Hendry: I've given all the orders I'm gonna give.

Nikki: If I thought that were true, I'd ask you to marry me.

Sheridan, a former model signed to a 5-year contract by Hawks, is quite good here, but after The Thing her career never really caught fire and she retired from acting a few years later. The closest thing to a star turn in the film is Kenneth Tobey as Capt. Hendry. Tobey racked up an impressive number of credits throughout his nearly 50-year-long career, generally as gruff, competent military men or similar types, and he was always good value, though it's as Capt. Hendry in The Thing that he truly shines. He consistently humanizes the no-nonsense, take charge man of action Hendry by displaying an easygoing approach to command. Most of Hendry's men call him by his first name, and delight in ribbing him about his budding romance with Nikki, and he responds to all this joshing in kind. When things get hairy, Tobey's Hendry doesn't have to bark his orders; it's clear that, despite the friendly banter, his men hold him in high esteem and leap to do his bidding at a moment's notice.

Many of the other members of the cast, while none of them ever became household names, will likely be recognizable from countless other roles in both film and television. Hawks gave Dewey Martin co-star billing in The Big Sky a few years later. Robert Cornthwaite kept busy for decades on stage and television, as well as in supporting roles in films such as Monkey Business, Kiss Me Deadly and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? John Dierkes (Dr. Chapman) and Douglas Spencer (Scotty) both had juicy roles in the western classic Shane, as well as many other movies too numerous to name. Sharp-eyed viewers will also recognize Eduard Franz, Paul Frees (he of the famous voice) and Groucho Marx's right-hand man on You Bet Your Life, George Fenneman, in pivotal roles. And of course we mustn't forget 6' 7" James Arness (years before becoming renowned as Marshall Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke) as the hulking Thing.

A quick note on the "remake": John Carpenter's The Thing (1982), a bleak, grisly and brilliant take on the story, was a box-office dud when first released, but has since attained well-deserved status as a modern classic. While most fans seem divided into two camps - those who love the more restrained, old-fashioned thrills of the original, and those who prefer the more visceral, paranoiac Carpenter version - I happen to treasure both films equally and revisit each of them often. The Carpenter version is by far the gutsier, unsettling one, emphasizing as it does the "trust no one," shape-shifting "the alien is one of us" scenario imagined by John W. Campbell, but the Hawks' film is the most fun, with a far more likeable array of characters, working together to defeat an implacable menace. Each has its own clear merits. I wouldn't want to do without either film, and frankly see no need to choose one over the other.

"Every one of you listening to my voice...tell the world. Tell this to everybody, wherever they are: Watch the skies. Everywhere. Keep looking. Keep watching the skies.”

Lo swing-blues scanzonato, ironico ed irresistibile di due big anticonformisti della musica italiana

JazzAscona 2019 propone in apertura due big della musica italiana come Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini. Voce e chitarra il primo, voce e pianoforte il secondo, il loro duo, denonomato “The Swing Brothers”, è un sodalizio nato quasi per caso nel quale si coglie il piacere di fare musica assieme in maniera ironica e scanzonata. Due delle figure più originali e anticonformiste della canzone italiana, Baccini e Caputo si sono incontrati per la prima volta nel 2016. Un colpo di fulmine che ha prodotto l’album Chewing Gum Blues, nei cui dieci brani i due artisti ripartono dai fondamentali, swing e blues soprattutto, stringendo una briosa alleanza. Dal vivo, gli Swing Brothers Caputo e Baccini presentano le gioiose canzoni del loro album e ripropongono i pezzi forti dei loro apprezzati repertori, da Un sabato italiano a Il Garibaldi innamorato di Caputo fino a Le donne di Modena o Sotto questo sole di Baccini.

La carriera di Sergio Caputo inizia verso la fine degli anni Settanta al Folk Studio, lo storico locale di Roma. Nel 1983 esce il suo primo album, Un sabato italiano, che da allora è rimasto un classico. Negli ultimi anni è tornato con decisione alle sonorità jazzistiche e latine. Fra le sue collaborazioni spuntano nomi eccellenti come Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Tony Scott, Mel Collins (King Crimson), Tony Bowers (Simply Red), Enrico Rava, Roberto Gatto e molti altri. Lo stile di Caputo affonda le radici nel jazz e spazia nei ritmi latini, con l’uso insolito e innovativo del linguaggio letterario, che attinge dal quotidiano e dalle nevrosi metropolitane.

Cantautore della scuola genovese, Francesco Baccini inizia la sua carriera musicale mentre lavora come scaricatore al porto della sua città. Il primo disco è del 1989, Cartoons, che vince la Targa Tenco come migliore opera prima. L’ascesa verso il successo continua nel 1990 con l’album Il pianoforte non è il mio forte, che contiene il singolo Le donne di Modena e Genova blues, un duetto con Fabrizio De André. Nel 1990 vince il Festivalbar con la canzone Sotto questo sole, eseguita assieme a Paolo Belli e i Ladri di Biciclette. Poi, nel 1992, con l’album Nomi e cognomi ottiene il suo maggiore successo commerciale, affermandosi definitivamente come erede della tradizione dei cantautori liguri.

“The Swing Brothers” è il progetto nato dall’incontro tra Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini, due grandissimi della musica italiana che, quasi per caso, hanno iniziato questa nuova avventura insieme.

The Yorkshire Terrier, also known as a Yorkie, is a British breed of toy dog of terrier type. It is among the smallest of the terriers and indeed of all dog breeds, with a weight of no more than 3.2 kg/7 pounds.[1] It originated in the nineteenth century in the English county of Yorkshire, for which it is named.[2] The coat is tan on the head and dark steel-grey on the body; no other colour is accepted by either The Kennel Club or the Fédération Cynologique Internationale.[1][3]

It is a playful and energetic dog, usually kept as a companion dog. It has contributed to the development of other breeds including the Silky Terrier, and also to cross-breeds such as the Yorkipoo.

History

A Yorkshire Terrier from 1915

Two Yorkshire Terriers—Mrs. Foster's "Huddersfield Ben" and Lady Giffard's "Katie" (c. 1870)

A painting from the 19th century depicting a Yorkshire-like terrier by Ernest Gustave Girardot

The Yorkshire Terrier originated in Yorkshire. In the mid-nineteenth century, workers from Scotland came to Yorkshire in search of work and brought with them several varieties of terrier dogs. Breeding of the Yorkshire terrier was "principally accomplished by the people – mostly operatives in cotton and woollen mills – in the counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire."[4] In the 1800s, miners wanting to develop a ratting terrier, bred Black-and-Tan Terriers with the Paisley and Clydesdale Terriers.[5]

Details are scarce. Mrs A. Foster is quoted as saying in 1886,[6]

If we consider that the mill operatives who originated the breed were nearly all ignorant men, unaccustomed to imparting information for public use, we may see some reason why reliable facts have not been easily attained.

The breed originates from two distinct dogs, a male named Old Crab, a female named Kitty, and another female whose name is not known.[7] The Paisley Terrier, a smaller version of the Skye Terrier that was bred for a beautiful long silky coat, also figured into the early dogs. Some authorities believed that the Maltese was used as well.[8] "They were all originally bred from Scotch Terriers (meaning dogs from Scotland, not today's Scottish Terrier) and shown as such the name Yorkshire Terrier was given to them on account of their being improved so much in Yorkshire."[6]

Yorkshire Terriers were shown in a dog show category (class) at the time called "Rough and Broken-coated, Broken-haired Scotch and Yorkshire Terriers". Hugh Dalziel, writing in 1878, says that "the classification of these dogs at shows and in the Kennel Club Stud Book is confusing and absurd" in lumping together these different types.[9] In the early days of the breed, "almost anything in the shape of a Terrier having a long coat with blue on the body and fawn or silver coloured head and legs, with tail docked and ears trimmed, was received and admired as a Yorkshire Terrier".[4] But in the late 1860s, a popular Paisley-type Yorkshire Terrier show dog named Huddersfield Ben, owned by a woman living in Yorkshire, Mary Ann Foster, was seen at dog shows throughout Great Britain, and defined the breed type for the Yorkshire Terrier.[10]

Huddersfield Ben

Main article: Huddersfield Ben

Huddersfield Ben was a Yorkshire Terrier whose portrait was painted by George Earl[11] and in 1891 an authority on the breed wrote, "Huddersfield Ben was the best stud dog of his breed during his lifetime, and one of the most remarkable dogs of any pet breed that ever lived; and most of the show specimens of the present day have one or more crosses of his blood in their pedigree."[12] A show winner, Huddersfield Ben, through his puppies, helped define the Yorkshire Terrier breed. He is still referred to as "father of the breed."[10]

In North America

The Yorkshire Terrier was introduced in North America in 1872[13] and the first Yorkshire Terrier was registered with the American Kennel Club (AKC) in 1885.[2][14] During the Victorian era, the Yorkshire Terrier was a popular pet, and show dog in England, and as Americans embraced Victorian customs, so too did they embrace the Yorkshire Terrier.[15] The breed's popularity dipped in the 1940s, when the percentage of small breed dogs registered fell to an all-time low of 18% of total registrations.[16] Smoky, a Yorkshire Terrier and famous war dog from World War II, is credited with beginning a renewal of interest in the breed.[17] The AKC ranked the Yorkshire Terrier as the 6th most popular purebred in the United States in 2012 and 2013.[2]

Coat

For adult Yorkshire Terriers, The American Kennel Club places importance on coat colour, quality, and texture.[18] According to The Kennel Club (UK), the hair must be glossy, fine, straight, and silky. Traditionally the coat is grown out very long and is parted down the middle of the back, but "must never impede movement.".[19] The hair of the Yorkshire Terrier can be used to determine content of metals in the dog organism.[20]

From the back of the neck to the base of the tail, the coat should be a dark grey to a black colour,[18] and the hair on the tail should be a darker black.[19] On the head, high chest and legs, the hair should be a bright, rich tan, darker at the roots than in the middle, that shades into a lighter tan at the tips, but not for all dogs. Also, in adult dogs there should be no black hairs intermingled with any of the tan-coloured fur.[18] The fine, straight, silky coat is considered hypoallergenic.

Adult Yorkshire Terriers whose coat colours deviate from the standard, or that have woolly or extra fine coats, are still Yorkshire Terriers. The only difference is that it is not recommended to intentionally breed atypical Yorkshire Terriers.[21] In addition, care may be more difficult for "woolly" or "cottony" textured coats, or coats that are overly fine.[18] One of the reasons given for not breeding "off-coloured" Yorkies is that the colour could be a potential indicator of a genetic defect that may affect the dog's health; a careful health screening can clarify if any health risks exist.[21] Coats may vary in colour. For example, a mature Yorkie may have a silver-blue with light brown, while another might have a black and creamy colour.

The long coat on the Yorkshire Terrier requires regular brushing.[2]

Hypoallergenic coats

Main article: Hypoallergenic dog breed

The typical fine, straight, and silky Yorkshire Terrier coat has also been listed by many popular dog information websites as being hypoallergenic. In comparison with many other breeds, Yorkies do not shed to the same degree, losing small amounts when bathed or brushed.[22] The dog's dander and saliva typically trigger allergic reactions.[23] Allergists recognise that at times a particular allergy patient will be able to tolerate a particular dog, but they agree that "the luck of the few with their pets cannot be stretched to fit all allergic people and entire breeds of dogs."[24] The Yorkshire Terrier coat is said to fall out only when brushed or broken, or just said to not shed.[25] Although neither of those statements agree with what biologists, veterinarians, and allergists know about dog fur, allergists "think there really are differences in protein production between dogs that may help one patient and not another".[24]

Other colours

Common origin of Biewer and particolour Yorkshire Terrier from purebred Blue and Tan Yorkshire Terriers with ancestors, that were carriers of the recessive Piebald gene.[26][27][28]

The Yorkshire Terrier is a tan dog with a blue saddle. Particolours exist, although they are not correct for the breed standard. The particolour coat is white with black-blue and tan. The white is caused by the recessive piebald gene. It is very rare to get a particolour, and if one is found, it tends to be very expensive.[29] Some Yorkshire Terriers are solid golden, they only produce pheomelanin, others are liver or chocolate, a brown colour; they produce brown eumelanin instead of black eumelanin.[30][31] The standard prescribes clearly defined fur-colours, and non-standard colours may indicate crossbreeding with other breeds or in rare cases even health problems.[21] The AKC registration form for Yorkshire Terriers allows for four choices: blue and tan, blue and gold, black and tan, black and gold. Colour alone will not affect whether or not a dog is a good companion and pet. Even though off-coloured Yorkshire Terriers are advertised at premium prices, being of an unusual or atypical colour is stated to be neither new, desirable, nor exotic.[29]

Mismatched Yorkshire Terriers should not be crossed with Biewer Terriers, a new breed that originated in Germany.[32] Although the AKC will not deny registration of a Yorkshire Terrier on colour alone, meaning that particolours are now registerable with the AKC, the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America has a directive that "any solid colour or combination of colours other than black and tan" for adult dogs is a disqualification, and "dogs of solid colour, unusual combination of colours, and particolours should be disqualified."[33]

Puppy coats

It may take three or more years for the coat to reach its final colour. The final colour is usually a black or greyish colour.[33] P. H. Combs, writing in 1891, complained about show wins awarded to puppies, when the dog's coat does not fully come in until three or four years old, "and the honour of winning such a prize (for a puppy) can therefore be of but little practical benefit to the owner" since the adult dog's colour cannot be exactly predicted.[34][35]

Coat care

A Yorkshire Terrier after a day at the groomer

Owners may trim the hair short for easier care. For shows, the coat is left long, and may be trimmed to floor length to give ease of movement and a neater appearance. Hair on the feet and the tips of ears can also be trimmed.[18][19] The traditional long coat is extremely high maintenance. The coat might get knotted if not brushed daily (a bristle brush for short and shaved coat and a pin brush for long coat). In order to prevent breakage, the coat may be wrapped in rice paper, tissue paper or plastic, after a light oiling with a coat oil. The oil has to be washed out once a month and the wraps must be fixed periodically during the week to prevent them from sliding down and breaking the hair. Elaborate coat care dates from the earliest days of the breed. In 1878, John Walsh described similar preparations: the coat is "well greased" with coconut oil, the dog is bathed weekly, and the dog's feet are "carefully kept in stockings".[36]

Temperament

The Yorkshire Terrier character is described as "conveying an important air". According to the standard, the dog's high head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self-importance.

The ideal Yorkshire Terrier character or "personality" has been described by the Kennel Club as having a "carriage very upright conveying an important air".[19] Though small, the Yorkshire Terrier is active, very protective, curious, and fond of attention. If trained correctly, these dogs are very child-friendly, easygoing, and like to be played with.

Yorkshire Terriers are an easy dog breed to train. This results from their own nature to work without human assistance. They are naturally smart and quick to learn with many being food and/or praise motivated. Because they were developed as a working breed, many need a lot of both physical and mental stimulation—with both long walks/runs but also indoor games and training to keep their mind busy. They are known for being yappy, but many have reported that a contented Yorkie is a quiet one—that will happily curl up on your knee in the evening. But they are all individuals, with some being much more laid back than others, and the breeder should ideally be able to advise on the needs and temperaments of their particular line. Yorkies are easily adaptable to all surroundings, travel well, and make suitable pets for many homes. Due to their small size, they require limited exercise but need daily interaction with people. They thrive on attention and love. Many are more timid around other dogs and prefer to stay close to their humans for comfort.[2]

Yorkshire Terriers do tend to bark a lot. This makes them excellent watchdogs, as they will sound the alarm when anyone gets close. A barking problem can often be resolved with proper training and exercise.

Yorkshire Terriers are ranked 34th in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs.[37]

Health

Health issues often seen in the Yorkshire Terrier include bronchitis, lymphangiectasia, portosystemic shunt, cataracts, and keratitis sicca.[38] Additionally, Yorkies often have a delicate digestive system, with vomiting or diarrhoea resulting from consumption of foods outside of a regular diet.[39] The relatively small size of the Yorkshire Terrier means that it usually has a poor tolerance for anaesthesia. Additionally, a toy dog such as the Yorkie is more likely to be injured by falls, other dogs, and owner clumsiness.[39] Injection reactions (inflammation or hair loss at the site of an injection) can occur. In addition, allergies can cause skin to be dry, itchy and/or red.[40]

The lifespan of a Yorkie is 12–15 years.[39][41] Undersized Yorkies (under 3 lb or 1.4 kg) generally have a shorter life span, as they are especially prone to health problems such as chronic diarrhoea and vomiting; are more sensitive to anaesthesia; and are more easily injured.[39]

Teeth

As with all other dogs, Yorkies have two sets of teeth in their life. The first set of teeth is the 28-piece deciduous teeth (often referred to as "milk teeth", "baby teeth", or "puppy teeth"). The second set is the 42-piece permanent or adult teeth. Sometimes the number of permanent or adult teeth may vary, which is fine as long as they do not cause bad bite. When puppies are born, they have no teeth because milk is the only food they need. The deciduous teeth will grow from the age of 3 to 8 weeks old, in the order of incisors, canines, and premolars. Yorkie puppies have no molar teeth. Yorkie puppies will start to lose their deciduous or baby teeth when the permanent or adult teeth come in. The permanent or adult grow when the Yorkie puppies are 4 to 8 months old. By around 8 months old, those teeth should fully develop. The permanent or adult teeth will grow in the order of incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Molar teeth will develop at around 6 to 8 months old.[42]

Yorkies and other small dog breeds may have problems if the deciduous or baby teeth do not fall out as the permanent or adult teeth grow. This is caused by the new teeth not growing right underneath the deciduous teeth. (Usually, a puppy's body will absorb the roots of puppy teeth.) If the puppy tooth does not yield to the incoming tooth, it should be removed because it can cause a malocclusion or bad bite.[43] Retained teeth can cause tooth decay because food can be easily caught in between the deciduous and permanent teeth. Sometimes the new teeth are forced to grow into an abnormal position and further cause a bad bite. The retained teeth may stay or fall weeks after the new teeth have developed. When necessary, the retained deciduous or baby teeth need to be removed surgically.[44]

Like other small breeds, Yorkies are also prone to severe dental disease. Because they have a small jaw, their teeth can become crowded and may not fall out naturally. This can cause food and plaque to build up, and bacteria can eventually develop on the surface of the teeth, leading to periodontal disease. In addition, the bacteria can spread to other parts of the body and cause heart and kidney problems. The best prevention is regular brushing of the teeth with a toothpaste formulated specifically for dogs. Human toothpaste is not recommended, because it foams more easily and may be swallowed. Professional teeth cleaning by a veterinarian may also be required to prevent the development of dental problems.[45]

Genetic defects

Certain genetic disorders can be found in Yorkshire Terriers, including distichiasis, hydrocephalus, hypoplasia of dens, Legg–Calvé–Perthes syndrome, luxating patella, portosystemic shunt, retinal dysplasia, tracheal collapse, and bladder stones.[46] The following are among the most common congenital defects that affect Yorkies:

Distichiae, eyelashes arising from an abnormal spot (usually the duct of the meibomian gland at the edge of the eyelid), are often found in Yorkies.[47] Distichiae can irritate the eye and cause tearing, squinting, inflammation, corneal abrasions or corneal ulcers, and scarring. Treatment options may include manual removal, electrolysis, or surgery.[48]

Hypoplasia of dens is a non-formation of the pivot point of the second cervical vertebra, which leads to spinal cord damage.[46] Onset of the condition may occur at any age, producing signs ranging from neck pain to quadriplegia.[49]

Legg–Calvé–Perthes syndrome, which causes the top of the femur (thigh bone) to degenerate, occurs in Yorkies in certain lines.[50] The condition appears to result from insufficient circulation to the area around the hip joint. As the blood supply is reduced, the bone in the head of the femur collapses and dies and the cartilage coating around it becomes cracked and deformed.[50] Usually the disease appears when the Yorkie is young (between five and eight months of age); signs are pain, limping or lameness.[51] The standard treatment is surgery to remove the affected part of the bone.[51] Following surgery, muscles hold the femur in place and fibrous tissue forms in the area of removal to prevent bone rubbing on bone.[52] Although the affected leg will be slightly shorter than prior to surgery, the Yorkie may regain almost normal use.[51]

Luxating patellas (slipping kneecaps) are another common defect considered to be genetic in Yorkies, although it may also be caused by an accidental fall. Weak ligaments and tendons in the knee or malformed (too shallow) patellar grooves, allow the patella to slip out of its groove sideways.[53] This causes the leg to 'lock up' with the foot held off the ground.[53] A dog with this problem may experience frequent pain and lameness, or may be bothered by it only on occasion. Over time, the patellar ridges can become worn down, making the groove even more shallow and causing the dog to become increasingly lame.[53] Surgery is the main treatment option available for luxating patellas, although it is not necessary for every dog with the condition. The severity of luxating patellas are on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 being the most severe. Many dogs will not develop past a stage 1 or 2.

Portosystemic shunt, a congenital malformation of the portal vein (which brings blood to the liver for cleansing), is also common in Yorkies. In this condition some of the dog's blood bypasses the liver and the "dirty" blood goes on to poison the heart, brain, lungs and other organs with toxins. A Yorkie with this condition might exhibit a wide variety of symptoms, such as small stature, poor appetite, weak muscle development, decreased ability to learn, inferior coordination, occasional vomiting and diarrhoea, behavioral abnormalities, seizures (especially after a meal) and blindness, which could lead to a coma and death. Often, the shunt can be treated with surgery.[54]

Tracheal collapse

Tracheal collapse, caused by a progressive weakening of the walls of the trachea, occurs in many toy breeds, especially very tiny Yorkies.[55] As a result of genetics, the walls of the trachea can be flaccid, a condition that becomes more severe with age. Cushing's syndrome, a disorder that causes production of excess steroid hormone by the adrenal glands, can also weaken cartilage and lead to tracheal collapse.[56] There is a possibility that physical strain on the neck might cause or contribute to trachea collapse. Since this is usually caused by an energetic Yorkie pulling against his collar, many veterinarians recommend use of a harness for leashed walks.[55] An occasional "goose honking" cough, especially on exertion or excitement, is usually the first sign of this condition.[55] Over time, the cough may become almost constant in the Yorkie's later life. Breathing through the obstruction of a collapsed (or partially collapsed) trachea for many years can result in complications, including chronic lung disease. The coughing can be countered with cough suppressants and bronchodilators.[55] If the collapse is advanced and unresponsive to medication, sometimes surgery can repair the trachea.[55]

Hypoglycaemia

Low blood sugar in puppies, or transient juvenile hypoglycaemia, is caused by fasting (too much time between meals).[57] In rare cases, hypoglycaemia may continue to be a problem in mature, usually very small, Yorkies. It is often seen in Yorkie puppies at 5 to 16 weeks of age.[57] Very tiny Yorkie puppies are especially predisposed to hypoglycaemia because a lack of muscle mass makes it difficult to store glucose and regulate blood sugar.[57] Factors such as stress, fatigue, a cold environment, poor nutrition, and a change in diet or feeding schedule may bring on hypoglycaemia.[58] Low blood sugar can also be the result of a bacterial infection, parasite or portosystemic liver shunt.[59] Hypoglycaemia causes the puppy to become drowsy, listless (glassy-eyed), shaky, uncpoglycaemic attack, the puppy usually has very pale or grey gums.[60] The puppy also may not eat unless force-fed.[57] Hypoglycaemia and dehydration seem to go hand-in-hand, and force-feeding or injecting fluids may also be necessary. Additionally, a hypoglycaemic Yorkie may have a lower than normal body temperature and, in extreme cases, may have a seizure or go into a coma.[61] A dog showing symptoms should be given sugar in the form of corn syrup or Nutri-Cal and be treated by a veterinarian immediately, as prolonged or recurring attacks of hypoglycaemia can permanently damage the dog's brain.[61] In severe cases, it can be fatal.[57]

Docking and Cropping

Main article: Docking (dog)

Traditionally, the Yorkshire Terrier's tail is docked to a medium length.[62] Opposition to this practice began very early in the history of the breed; Hugh Dalziel, writing about Yorkshire Terriers in 1878, declared that "There is no reason for mutilating pet dogs, and perfect ears and tails should be bred, not clipped into shape with scissors."[9] AKC and Canadian Kennel Club still require the Yorkie's tail be docked in order to compete at its events. The majority of the rest of the world has adopted a "no docking/no cropping" rule. Often, a Yorkshire Terrier's dewclaws, if any, are removed in the first few days of life,[18] another controversial practice.

Similar breeds and crosses

The Yorkshire Terrier breed descends from larger but similar Scottish breeds, such as the Skye Terrier and the now-extinct Paisley Terrier. In its turn, other breeds have been created from the Yorkshire Terrier, such as the Silky Terrier. Demand for unusual pets has resulted in high prices being paid for Yorkshire Terriers crossed with various other breeds, which are described with a portmanteau word made up of syllables (or sounds) from Yorkshire Terrier and the breed name of the other parent. Some of these such portmanteau-named crosses can be found on the list of dog crossbreeds.

Two other breeds that look similar to the Yorkshire Terrier and have shorter hair are the prick-eared Norwich Terrier, along with its drop-eared relative the Norfolk Terrier. Another is the Biewer Terrier, which derives from the Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer Terrier, bred from blue, white and gold puppies named Schneeflocke and Schneeflöckchen von Friedheck,[63][64][65] owned by Mr. and Mrs. Biewer in Germany,[66] was once considered a variation of the Yorkshire Terrier but has since been recognised as a separate breed by many kennel clubs, including the AKC.[67]

Notability

Show dogs

In 1997, Champion Ozmilion Mystification became the first Yorkie to win Best in Show at Crufts, the world's largest annual dog show.[68][69]

Small dogs

Sylvia, a matchbox-sized Yorkshire Terrier owned by Arthur Marples of Blackburn, England, was the smallest dog in recorded history. The dog died in 1945 when she was two years old, at which point she stood 2+1⁄2 in (6.4 cm) tall at the shoulder, measured 3+1⁄2 in (8.9 cm) from nose tip to tail, and weighed 4 oz (110 g).[70][71]

War dogs

Smoky, a war dog and hero of World War II, was owned by William Wynne of Cleveland, Ohio. Wynne adopted Smoky while he was serving with the 5th Air Force in the Pacific.[72]

1920s Women Fashion portrayed the unique, pioneer time of the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age as ladies acquired their opportunity and autonomy. The 1920s Fashion patterns were the more limited, low-waisted dresses and uncovering styles worn by the Flappers, the ‘weaved’ haircuts, cloche caps, the easygoing, aimless style of a combination of brilliantly shaded garments, scarves, and stockings with intense, striking Art Deco mathematical plans of the period.

Adornments that led to the 1920’s Women Style and patterns were moved down stockings and boots, long strands of pearl dots, cigarette holders, headbands, and plume boas. Another style was the level chested, innocent ‘Garonne’ look and the 1920’s ladies who wore men’s clothing.

The improvement of new textures took into account new assortments of more agreeable and functional swimwear in the 1920’s. Jeanne Lanvin (1867 – 1946) was known for her young, present-day clothing and style styles that gave ladies the opportunity to develop.

Today it's Paavo Väyrynen's turn:

"With a 40+ career in politics, including long stints as Finland's foreign ministery, Paavo Väyrynen is no stranger to speaking in English to an international audience. This is Väyrynen's third run at Finland's presidency and he's used to the rigours of the campaign trail. What many commentators have noted is his change of style, from traditional - perhaps even grumpy politician - to someone who is more relaxed, at ease and ready to smile during this campaign. Väyrynen himself says that in his school days he was a relaxed person, and now he's once again more easygoing and that voters are seeing his true character. It's clear to see that Paavo Väyrynen would be an effective spokesperson in English for Finland if he was elected president, comfortable speaking and debating in English with interlocutors."

Lo swing-blues scanzonato, ironico ed irresistibile di due big anticonformisti della musica italiana

JazzAscona 2019 propone in apertura due big della musica italiana come Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini. Voce e chitarra il primo, voce e pianoforte il secondo, il loro duo, denonomato “The Swing Brothers”, è un sodalizio nato quasi per caso nel quale si coglie il piacere di fare musica assieme in maniera ironica e scanzonata. Due delle figure più originali e anticonformiste della canzone italiana, Baccini e Caputo si sono incontrati per la prima volta nel 2016. Un colpo di fulmine che ha prodotto l’album Chewing Gum Blues, nei cui dieci brani i due artisti ripartono dai fondamentali, swing e blues soprattutto, stringendo una briosa alleanza. Dal vivo, gli Swing Brothers Caputo e Baccini presentano le gioiose canzoni del loro album e ripropongono i pezzi forti dei loro apprezzati repertori, da Un sabato italiano a Il Garibaldi innamorato di Caputo fino a Le donne di Modena o Sotto questo sole di Baccini.

La carriera di Sergio Caputo inizia verso la fine degli anni Settanta al Folk Studio, lo storico locale di Roma. Nel 1983 esce il suo primo album, Un sabato italiano, che da allora è rimasto un classico. Negli ultimi anni è tornato con decisione alle sonorità jazzistiche e latine. Fra le sue collaborazioni spuntano nomi eccellenti come Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Bowie, Tony Scott, Mel Collins (King Crimson), Tony Bowers (Simply Red), Enrico Rava, Roberto Gatto e molti altri. Lo stile di Caputo affonda le radici nel jazz e spazia nei ritmi latini, con l’uso insolito e innovativo del linguaggio letterario, che attinge dal quotidiano e dalle nevrosi metropolitane.

Cantautore della scuola genovese, Francesco Baccini inizia la sua carriera musicale mentre lavora come scaricatore al porto della sua città. Il primo disco è del 1989, Cartoons, che vince la Targa Tenco come migliore opera prima. L’ascesa verso il successo continua nel 1990 con l’album Il pianoforte non è il mio forte, che contiene il singolo Le donne di Modena e Genova blues, un duetto con Fabrizio De André. Nel 1990 vince il Festivalbar con la canzone Sotto questo sole, eseguita assieme a Paolo Belli e i Ladri di Biciclette. Poi, nel 1992, con l’album Nomi e cognomi ottiene il suo maggiore successo commerciale, affermandosi definitivamente come erede della tradizione dei cantautori liguri.

“The Swing Brothers” è il progetto nato dall’incontro tra Sergio Caputo e Francesco Baccini, due grandissimi della musica italiana che, quasi per caso, hanno iniziato questa nuova avventura insieme.

Un irrésistible swing-blues tout en ironie et désinvolture, par deux vedettes anticonformistes de la musique italienne

Pour son ouverture, JazzAscona propose deux vedettes de la musique italienne, Sergio Caputo et Francesco Baccini. Les deux chanteurs, le premier s’accompagnant à la guitare, le second au piano, doivent la formation de leur duo “The Swing Brothers” presque au hasard et au simple plaisir de jouer ensemble, sans trop se prendre au sérieux. Ces deux figures anticonformistes de la chanson italienne se sont rencontrés la première fois en 2016. La magie s’est opérée, et cela a donné l’album Chewing Gum Blues, dix morceaux entraînants qui repartent des fondamentaux swing et blues. Sur scène les Swing Brothers Caputo et Baccini présentent à la fois les joyeuses chansons de leur album et quelques-unes des meilleures de leurs répertoires respectifs, comme Un sabato italiano ou encore Il Garibaldi innamorato de Caputo, et Le donne di Modena ou encore Sotto questo sole de Baccini.

Der unbekümmerte, ironische, unwiderstehliche Swing-Blues zweier grosser Nonkonformisten der italienischen Musik

JazzAscona 2019 präsentiert gleich zu Beginn zwei Grosse aus der italienischen Musikszene: Sergio Caputo und Francesco Baccini, Vocals und Gitarre der eine, Vocals und Piano der andere. Ihr Duo heisst “The Swing Brothers” und ist quasi per Zufall entstanden, aus purer Freude am zusammen Musizieren, unbekümmert und ein bisschen ironisch. Baccini und Caputo sind zwei originelle, nonkonformistische Figuren aus der Welt der italienischen Canzone. 2016 sind sie sich begegnet – Liebe auf den ersten Blick, geistreiche Allianz. Sogleich wurde das erste Album Chewing Gum Blues produziert, auf dem die zwei Musiker an der Basis beginnen, vor allem mit Swing und Blues. Im Konzert präsentieren die Swing Brothers Caputo und Baccini die fröhlichen Lieder ihres Albums und interpretieren die besten Stücke aus ihren bevorzugten Repertoires, von Un sabato italiano über Caputos Il Garibaldi innamorato bis zu Le donne di Modena oder Baccinis Sotto questo sole.

"An easygoing tavern opposite the Tron Kirk"

Hunter Square, Edinburgh

Hi there, my name is Jinsei.

Let me try to describe myself... or at least, what I know about myself: I'd say that I'm a rather complicated person. But after all, aren't we all complicated?

I'm an easygoing person, unless you say or do something that's against my principles. I can't stand prejudices, about emo/goth/other scene's, race, background or whatever. I hate drunks and droggies.

If you want my honest opinion, I'll give it to you, no exceptions. I'm not a backstabber, I always speak my mind.

I don't love going out when you're speaking of discotheques or ordinairy parties. What I prefer are gigs and festivals. Because, even though I'm a girl, I do love mushpits, crowdsurfing en stagediving.

Strangely enough, I am afraid of the dark. So after a concert, there always has to be someone to walk me home. I'm working on this though.

Oh, and I'm the kind of person that still actully BUYS CD's and LP's. That's not being stupid, it's just a matter of respect. All those bands make the effort to provide us with good music, put all there time and energy in it... than it's only fair to give them the money they earn.
