due to some private gigs
and traveling in November

The previously scheduled 
jam session tonight is 

no longer happening 

due to the recent passing 

of Mira from Mercury cafe

I finally gathered the focus 
to publish my political 
thoughts about the election 
on substack

On a more positive note
both Corpus X and Corpus Y 
gigs last week were 
off the chain

Thanks to everyone who 
took part!

In order to help me 

put my thoughts down 

in a way where I can 

trust my audience

I decided to paywall 

my substack

In this post, I am mostly 
working through watching  
large numbers of people 
feel like they have to vote 

for genocide in order 

to save democracy

If you agree that sounds 
contradictory you might 

want to consider
voting 3rd party 

I think either Green or 
Peace and Freedom 
are running good enough 
campaigns that you can 

go down in history not 

voting for genocide.

The Peace and Freedom 
has the most leftist-aligned 

platform 

While the Green party 

has enough ballot access 

to actually win the election

In any case, the post goes 
through why this topic 
is not new and rings the 
same in every era since 
modern capitalism began

I ask you to think about 
the question: Is there 
nothing you won’t vote for, 
if the other alternative is worse?

The Weekend Crew at 
Sheba Jazz Lounge

On Sundays we feature
a quartet presentation 
of Manny's Journey in Jazz

    Manny Berry - piano
    Elaine Alt - baritone saxophone
    Rob Bassinette - bass
    Garry Williams - drums

On the last Saturday 
of the month we 
expand to a quintet

    Danny Cao - trumpet 
    Elaine Alt - baritone saxophone
    Manny Berry - piano
    Rob Bassinette - bass
    Garry Williams - drums

This band does not take requests
however we do take complaints

Our goal is to not have the 
same complaint twice

Pretty close to a 
Parisian cafe

except on Polk St.

     Elaine Alt - alto saxophone
     Carl Herder - bass

This will be the 
penultimate wine bar 
Jazz Duo gig this year
