Il Blue Note è lieto di ospitare una band leggendaria. Con quattordici album alle spalle , oltre un milione di copie vendute, centinaia di concerti in tutto il mondo, gli Yellowjackets sono la più longeva e creativa fusion band della storia. E non solo per un fatto di continuità anagrafica (il gruppo esiste dal 1977), quanto per una esplosiva spinta a sperimentare continuamente linguaggi, fusioni e contaminazioni, e a rivedere il proprio orizzonte espressivo alla luce di nuove acquisizioni stilistiche. È stato l'ingresso del sassofonista, arrangiatore e compositore Bob Mintzer a far compiere agli Yellowjackets il definitivo salto di qualità da eccellente band di fusion al perfetto ingranaggio di jazz elettro-acustico quali sono oggi.
Ormai il loro sound e il loro stesso nome sono molto più di un marchio di fabbrica e, attraverso l’evoluzione della loro musica, rappresentano piuttosto un certificato di garanzia. Jazz e fusion acustica si fondono con grandissima raffinatezza in un sound compatto, preciso eppure lieve, con spazi, forme e dimensioni disegnati senza fatica da musicisti che è un vero piacere ascoltare.
Il 30 gennaio 2012, Felix Pastoruis (figlio di John Francis Anthony Pastorius III, meglio conosciuto come Jaco Pastorius ) ha annunciato sul suo Facebook, che avrebbe sostituito il bassista Jimmy Haslip per circa un anno. "I guess its official, I’m a yellowjacket!" (lui è quello ufficiale, io sono un "calabrone").
Pastorius ha dichiarato nel suo post che Haslip è "sano e felice e voleva solo prendersi un anno di pausa per concentrarsi su altre cose..."

The Postcard
A postally unused postcard that was photographed, printed and published by Photo Precision of St. Albans. The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card has a divided back.
Knole
Henry VIII acquired Knole from Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in 1538 for hunting purposes, and he then set about enlarging and improving the house and grounds. Earlier, the estate had been bought and the first house built by Archbishop Thomas Bourchier between 1456 and his death in 1486.
Though Elizabeth I subsequently presented it to her cousin Thomas Sackville, later 1st. Earl of Dorset, in 1566 he was not able to occupy it until he bought back the lease in 1603. Over the next two years the house underwent a transformation into a great Renaissance palace, and it largely remains unaltered from that time.
Throughout part of the seventeenth century, occupation by the Sackville family was intermittent, possibly due to lack of money, and it was sometimes leased.
It was not until the beginning of the eighteenth century that the 6th. Earl and later his son, the 7th. Earl, used the house as their principal residence, renovating, improving and embellishing what the 1st. Earl had initiated.
The family have lived at Knole ever since, but owing to the burden of upkeep and protecting the valuable collections within the house, they presented it (with the walled garden) to the National Trust in 1946, in exchange for a generous lease of 200 years.
-- More on Knole House
The excellent shelleyshouse.blogspot.com provides some fascinating information about Knole. Here are some of the highlights:
Virginia Woolf, describing Knole in her novel Orlando, 1928 wrote:
"The great house lay more like a town
than a house...with all its chimneys
smoking busily as if inspired with a life
of their own."
Underneath the Knole rooftops lies a labyrinth of apartments, each containing several rooms. These apartments once housed hundreds of people including high status staff, visitors and family members. The Sackville-West family still live in apartments here, over 400 years since the first family member lived in Knole.
Knole house stands on five acres of ground, around the size of three and a half football pitches.
There are over 300 rooms.
Knole has 51 chimneys.
The problem for me about Knole was that at the beginning of the tour most things were covered with dust sheets, in glass cases. I found it hilarious that there were signs on a lot of pieces (like enormous vases, or ornate chairs) printed with the word 'salvage'. I had to ask what this was about as I wondered if these items had been picked up from a salvage yard, though it seemed unlikely.
Turns out there is a very particular protocol in the event of a fire or other disaster about what will be saved first, and these labels referred to the priority of the items in that protocol.
Knole Park is the home of a wild deer herd. They are the descendants of those first introduced here over 500 years ago. It is Kent's last remaining medieval deer park.
Henry VIII stated in 1532:
"And as for Knole it standeth on a sound perfect,
wholesome ground. And if I should make mine
abode here, as I do surely mind to do now and
then, I myself will lie at Knole."
Archbishop Thomas Cranmer surrendered Knole to Henry VIII. The king purchased more land, and by 1556 Knole Park covered 446 acres. Today Knole Park covers 1,000 acres. It is 7.5 times bigger than St James' Park in London.
There are over 350 wild deer in Knole Park.
I remember an old bed (you know, the kind with curtains) still in pieces, being cleaned by a young man. He was using just water, and just rubbing the black pieces of wood; I think he said it was walnut, but I'm not sure. He told us that the Knole attics were so vast they still hadn't been fully explored and all the findings catalogued, even though the National Trust acquired the place in 1946 (over 70 years ago!).
In another room there was a bed covered and curtained with some sort of holey green fabric. The guide there explained that some inexperienced restorers from some workers' cooperative had used modern glue to stick the fabric back onto the wood, rather than the old fashioned fish glue.
This modern glue had eaten the fabric, and they were painstakingly trying to restore the old cloth. I had two thoughts at the time. One was how quickly they were ready to name and blame outsiders; the other was the enormous expense of restoring such a large amount of fabric. I would just frame a square or two and put up modern fabric, a copy of the original. Probably best that I don't work in restoration, eh?
Knole House is called a Calendar House, that is a house that has architectural features in quantities that mirror the numbers in a year. Knole reportedly has 365 rooms, 52 stair cases, 12 entrances and 7 courtyards (give or take).
One more thing that has come back to me is one of the guides telling me about a Knole couch. If you ever watched/drooled over Downton Abbey you know exactly what one looks like (the big red one to the left of the fireplace in the library).
Visitors from the local area and further afield have enjoyed access to Knole Park since the 17th. century. A dispute over public right of way led to Mortimer, 1st. Lord Sackville, closing the park in June 1884. Local people were furious, and on the night of the 18th. June 1884, over a thousand people stormed the park. They broke down barricades before marching to the front of the house. The town's people smashed windows and hurled abuse.
-- Knole and The Beatles
Knole was the setting for the filming in January 1967 of the Beatles' videos that accompanied the release of "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever".
The stone archway through which the four Beatles rode on horses can still be seen on the southeastern side of the Bird House, which itself is on the southeastern side of Knole House.
The same visit to Knole Park inspired another Beatles song, "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!," which John Lennon wrote after buying an 1843 poster in a nearby antiques shop that advertised Pablo Fanque's Circus Royal.

Appuntamento domenica 10 giugno al Mediolanum Forum di Assago con The Script, per la prima delle due tappe italiane del loro tour mondiale che ha già fatto registrare sold out da un capo all’altro del mondo. Milano è la prima tappa italiana dell’European Freedom Child tour, mentre la seconda ed ultima è al Gran Teatro Geox di Padova.
Inizialmente previsti per il 9 e 11 marzo, i live nel nostro paese erano stati rimandati a causa di una bronchite che aveva colpito il frontman della band Danny O’Donoghue.
Ad aprire lo show al Forum, e quello al Gran Teatro Geox di Padova in programma per lunedì 11 giugno, saranno i Seawards, il duo italiano composto da Giulia Granger Benvenuto e Francesco Proglio De Maria.
In scaletta non mancheranno le grandi hit della band come “Hall of Fame”, “For the First Time”, “Breakeven” o “The man who can’t be moved”, ma i live saranno anche l’occasione per presentare dal vivo al pubblico italiano i brani di “Freedom Child” – quinto album in studio della band e quarto a raggiungere il primo posto nella classifica UK – che è stato lanciato proprio dal singolo “Rain”, entrato prepotentemente nelle classifiche radiofoniche e nella Top 10 di iTunes in oltre 47 Paesi.
Il disco, pubblicato a settembre 2017, arriva a distanza di 3 anni dall’ultimo lavoro discografico: un periodo di crescita che ha portato la band ad esplorare nuovi territori sonori e ad affrontare nelle 14 tracce dell’album i cambiamenti – da quelli musicali a quelli culturali e politici – del nostro tempo.
Le 14 tracce del disco raccontano di storie di vita reale nello stile che da sempre caratterizza la band irlandese, ma che in questo lavoro esplora anche nuovi territori sonori. Per la prima volta, il trio formato da Danny O’Donoghue (voce, piano), Mark Sheehan (voce, chitarra) e Glen Power (voce, batteria), ha scelto di collaborare con autori e producer esterni, tutti di prim’ordine, tra cui Toby Gad (Beyoncé, Fergie, John Legend, Demi Lovato, ecc.) e Nasri Atweh (Justin Bieber, David Guetta, Shakira, Cristina Aguilera e tanti altri). Il disco ha raggiunto la vetta delle classifiche di vendita nel Regno Unito, su iTunes ha conquistato la posizione #1 in Irlanda e in altri 13 paesi, e la top ten in ben 47. Il videoclip ufficiale di “Rain” conta più di 30.000.000 di visualizzazioni su YouTube. Più di 29 milioni di dischi venduti su scala internazionale, 3 album multi-platino (ognuno dei quali ha raggiunto il primo posto delle classifiche nel Regno Unito) e 4 singoli certificati platino negli Stati Uniti, i The Script sono una delle band di maggior successo al mondo. Sono anche una delle band più attive dal punto di vista live con oltre 1,4 milioni di biglietti venduti nel corso di oltre 200 concerti. Il live nel leggendario Croke Park Stadium nella “loro” Dublino, ha fatto registrare il sold-out in pochi minuti.

A few months back I was asked if one of my photos could be used for The Diplomat, an Australian news magazine calling themselves "the premier international politics and business magazine in the Asian region". They were running an article about chess in India and wanted to use my photo Your move.
I just got the magazine and I couldn't be more excited. Sure, it's a small little photo in the story but I got a byline! Regardless of how small, I think it's always a thrill to see your name in print.

Abba Eban
"History teaches us that men and
nations behave wisely when they
have exhausted all other alternatives".
This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.
Visé Paris No. 228
The card bears the imprimatur 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number. This means that the image was inspected and deemed by the military authorities in the French capital not to be a security risk.
'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the Great War.
The Use of Artillery in the Great War
Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.
With an average length of two feet, that number of shells if laid end to end would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres). That's over two and a half times round the Earth. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.
During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.
Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.
According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:
- Bayonets - less than 1%
- Bullets - 30%
- Artillery and Bombs - 70%
Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.
Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:
"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."
To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.
For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.
Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.
A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.
The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"
The Somme Times
From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:
'There was a young girl of the Somme,
Who sat on a number five bomb,
She thought 'twas a dud 'un,
But it went off sudden -
Her exit she made with aplomb!'

'It was a Lover and his Lass'
The song 'It was a Lover and his Lass' was written by William Shakespeare, and appears in 'As You Like It'. Here it is:
It was a lover and his lass,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
That o’er the green cornfield did pass,
In springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
Between the acres of the rye,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
Those pretty country folks would lie,
In springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
This carol they began that hour,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
How that a life was but a flower
In springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring.
And therefore take the present time,
With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,
For love is crownèd with the prime
In springtime, the only pretty ring time,
When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;
Sweet lovers love the spring'.

Josef Skvosecky: was a Czech-Canadian writer and publisher. He spent half of his life in Canada, publishing and supporting banned Czech literature during the communist era. After the Warsaw Pact invasion of Czechoslovakia that year, Škvorecký and his wife, writer and actress Zdena Salivarová, fled to Canada. In 1971, he and his wife founded 68 Publishers which, over the next 20 years, published banned Czech and Slovak books. The imprint became an important mouthpiece for dissident writers, such as Václav Havel, Milan Kundera, and Ludvík Vaculík, among many others. For providing this critical literary outlet, the president of post-Communist Czechoslovakia, Václav Havel, later awarded the couple the Order of the White Lion in 1990. He taught at the Department of English at the University of Toronto where he was eventually appointed Professor Emeritus of English and Film. He retired in 1990. In Canada, he is considered to be a Canadian author despite the fact that he is mostly published in Czech. He died on January 3, 2012 in Toronto, Ontario from cancer; he was 87 years old.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Marcel Raitre of Rouen.
Rouen
Rouen is a city on the River Seine in northern France, and is relatively close to the English Channel. Formerly one of the largest and most prosperous cities of medieval Europe, the population of the metropolitan area is 702,945 (2018). People from Rouen are known as Rouennais.
“Upon approaching Rouen one is sure to be struck
by the insolent daring of its situation. Lying on a
sloping plain beside the river, it seems to disdain the
well-nigh impregnable site afforded by the steep cliffs
which rise just to the northeast.
The history of the city bears out the audacity of its
location. Through all the centuries, its inhabitants
concerned themselves so continuously in conquering
other peoples that little time was left in which to
consider the security of their own homes.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Rouen was the seat of the Exchequer of Normandy during the Middle Ages. It was one of the capitals of the Anglo-Norman dynasties, which ruled both England and large parts of modern France from the 11th. to the 15th. centuries.
From the 13th. century onwards, the city experienced a remarkable economic boom, thanks in particular to the development of textile factories and river trade. Claimed by both the French and the English during the Hundred Years' War, it was in Rouen that Joan of Arc was tried and burned alive.
Severely damaged by a wave of bombing in 1944, Rouen nevertheless regained its economic dynamism in the post-war period thanks to its industrial sites and busy seaport, which is the fifth largest in France.
Endowed with a prestige established during the medieval era, and with a long architectural heritage in its historical monuments, Rouen is an important cultural capital. Several renowned establishments are located here, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Secq des Tournelles Museum, and Rouen Cathedral.
“Perhaps the most characteristic feature of Rouen
when viewed from a distance is the great number
of its spires that shoot up above the housetops,
earning for it the sobriquet of the City of Churches.”
-- Charles Hitchcock Sherrill, Stained Glass Tours in France (1908).
Sadly not all of those churches are still there because of the ravages of war.
Seat of an archdiocese, Rouen also hosts a court of appeal and a university. Every four to six years, Rouen becomes the showcase for a large gathering of sailing ships called "L'Armada"; this event makes the city an occasional capital of the maritime world.
Rouen Cathedral
Rouen Cathedral was commenced in the 12th. Century on the site of an earlier structure. It has a Roman crypt.
The Butter Tower dates from the 16th. century. The name of the Tour de Beurre comes from the fact that butter was banned during Lent, and those who wished to carry on eating it had to donate 6 Deniers Tournois towards the building of the tower. Practically everyone in Rouen must have carried on eating butter in order to fund a tower like that!
The Victorian cast-iron Lantern Tower in the centre of the building made the cathedral the tallest building in the world from 1876 until 1880, when it was overtaken by Cologne Cathedral.
The Lantern Tower was designed by the architect Jean-Antoine Alavoine who proposed the use of cast iron, a modern material for the time, because it was less combustible than wood, and lighter than stone. The Lantern Tower took 50 years to construct. The 151 metre height of the spire still makes Rouen Cathedral the tallest cathedral in France.
The presence of a lantern tower at the crossing of the transept is a frequent feature in churches in Normandy (St. Ouen in Rouen, and Bayeux) and in England (Gloucester, Salisbury, and Winchester).
The lantern is in a bulge in the ironwork near the top of the spire, which is surmounted by a weathercock.
The Cathedral holds the heart of Richard the Lionheart. His bowels were buried within the church of the Château de Châlus-Chabrol in the Limousin. The cathedral seems to have got the better end of that particular deal!
Claude Monet painted a series of studies of the cathedral's façade 1894. Roy Lichtenstein also made a series of pictures of the front of the building.
The Cathedral has had to put up with a lot of wilful destruction during its lifetime:
- The Calvinists damaged much of what they could easily reach during the religious wars of the 16th. Century - the furniture, tombs, stained glass and statuary.
- The French State nationalised the building in the 18th. Century, and sold some of its furniture and statues to make money. The chapel fences were melted down to make guns.
- In WW2 the Cathedral was first bombed in 1944, taking 7 bombs. The bombs narrowly missed destroying a key pillar of the Lantern Tower, but damaged most of the south aisle, and destroyed two medieval rose windows. One of the bombs was fortunately a dud and failed to explode.
- As a consequence of a subsequent WW II bombing, the north tower, on the left of the façade, was entirely burned. During the fire the stonework calcified and the bells melted, leaving molten metal on the floor. The cathedral is still being restored after the extensive damage incurred during World War II.
Also, during the violent storm of December 1999, a copper-clad wooden turret weighing 26 tons fell into the Cathedral and damaged the choir and the stalls. The three other turrets were removed for maintenance and safety purposes before being replaced in 2012.
The Execution of Jeanne d'Arc
Jeanne d'Arc was executed not far from the Cathedral in the Vieux-Marché on Wednesday the 30th. May 1431.
The famous depiction of 19 year old Joan of Arc's execution showing her on top of a pile of wood and straw is wrong.
The site for her execution comprised a stake at the centre of a large ring of wood, with a gap left for Joan to be led to the stake. Once she was tied to the stake and the gap closed, she was hidden from sight.
One authority has suggested that her body would have burnt in the following sequence: calves, thighs and hands, torso and forearms, breasts, upper chest and face.
However in all likelihood she would have died from heatstroke, loss of blood plasma and carbon dioxide poisoning before the fire attacked the upper parts of her body.
After Jeanne had expired, the English exposed her charred body so that no-one could claim that she had escaped alive, then burned her body twice more to reduce it to ashes in order to prevent the collection of relics.
They then cast her remains into the Seine.
A modern church now stands on the site of her execution.
