Bronx Borough President Diaz says he is deeply disappointed and saddened by last night’s triple shooting at the Astor Deli Grocery, where three innocent bystanders--including two young girls--fell victims to gun violence.

He considers these acts of violence unacceptable that, despite the efforts of the police department, district attorney and others to take as many illegal guns off our streets as possible, these senseless acts of gun violence continue to infest our borough.

For most, enjoying Beatles music has long been a popular past time for several generations. Deconstructing their albums takes that experience to a much higher level. Last night's lecture was titled "Looking Through A Glass Onion".

Instructor Scott Freiman is a composer, arranger, producer, a sound editor and the brainchild behind deconstructing The Beatles. He utilizes isolated tracks and rare video footage of Beatles' anecdotes about their historic recording sessions. Scott's lectures analyze production techniques used in recording Beatles popular compositions.

JAZZ AND THE COLD WAR

Submitted by ub on

"...Up until the late 80's, it was not officially forbidden, but you were always like marked: 'Ah, he's interested in jazz. He's with Western culture. He's potentially enemy of the state.' ...Jazz music more than any other form of art makes a person free. Playing music or listening to it you don't have to adhere to Soviet laws. And those laws were so artificial, so brutal, so unnatural. Here, listening or playing you could be yourself. You're free. You're free from that nonsense."
