Tony Williams, a pastor at Aphesis Apostolic Ministry in Fresno, believes the rapture is at hand and people need to prepare by accepting God. Although end-of-times prophecies have bubbled up from the Bible to Nostradamus, the current crop tracks to a pivotal date – 12 / 21 / 12 – on one ancient Mayan calendar. Dene McGriff wants to make sense out of the last days – the end of times....

Frances Leviston is charmed by a vision of northern England in a debut collection "O collapser of delicate moods and arch lyrical poignancies! / damper of youthful enthusiasms! / user of out-of-date prophylactic sheaths!" The target of this vatic homage is the mostly fictitious Julian Metcalfe, a "lecherous old time-travelling scoundrel", object of equal parts disgust and fascination,...

After Katie Steele Danner was named director of the Missouri Division of Tourism last week, I was fascinated by the savage way in which any mention of her previous brushes with the law was immediately decried as partisan or outright lies in the comments left on numerous news websites. Of course, her blotter record was left out of every one of the articles I saw, and on one level I can agree with that....

Zevious is a strong guitar, bass and drums trio that takes the hard edged fusion on seventies stalwarts like The Mahavishnu Orchestra and Tony Williams Lifetime and combines it with the post-modern aesthetic of progressive rock and modern jazz. Consisting of Mike Eber on guitar, Johnny DeBlase on bass and Jeff Eber on drums, the band is very tight and turns on a dime, using intricate arrangements and...

Last night US pianist Kirk Lightsey played with an energy and intensity that belied his years (he's in his Seventies). Kirk delighted the audience with a set that was passionate, joyful and virtuosic. Elements of his playing include they way he balances hard bop soulfulness and with the harmonic complexities of Bill Evans. He has a fiercely strong left hand - jabbing away in a bebop style, playing...

Anger can be a great musical catalyst. The story is told about Miles Davis's historic 1964 concert at Lincoln Center, that the band was angry that Miles had preemptively waived their fees for charity. The performance, duly celebrated in two albums, My Funny Valentine and Four and more , can be said to have that urgent yet sinuous edge that make it one of the essential live musical performances. The...

There's been so much literary happening recently, but I've been so busy with my own stuff I haven't had time to blog about much of it. First there was the Manchester Literature Festival, of which I only managed to blog the Fay Weldon event (briefly, and without reference to what she actually said). I put up some pics of Northern Salt which I took part in myself, but haven't even managed to blog it...

Like any credible person, I dig Miles Davis. But I particularly dig his quintet with saxophonist Wayne Shorter, pianist Herbie Hancock, bassist Ron Carter and drummer Tony Williams. “All-stars” is not nearly the word — these guys turned out to be a Mt. Rushmore of modern jazz. So it was really exciting to hear about Live in Europe ‘67, the DVD that’s included in the soon-to-be-released...
