The Birthday Bash was a Blast: Sunday, May 17, 2009 at the Scottish Rite Temple proved to be an in-cred-i-ble event! 200 people helped celebrate the birthdays of not one - but two - wonderful Santa Fe Treasures. Arlen Asher (The Jazz Experience) and "Bumble Bee" Bob Weil. The event was also a fundraiser for The Outpost in Albuquerque, headed by Tom Guralnick.
Arlen is an "jewel" in the world of music and the state of New Mexico. Image the stage filled with Arlen and his instruments - (for this party Arlen brought only three instruments). Typically he will share the stage with his B-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, every known kind of saxophone, concert flute, alto flute, bass flute, and contrabass clarinet. As Mark Acuff (New Mexico Independent - 1975) described Arlen "merely the best mutliple-instrument woodwind jazz player in the country today, in our humble estimation". That opinion has not changed! In October 2008, Arlen received the "Mayor's Recognition Award for Excellence in the Arts". Arlen moved to Albuquerque in 1958 and has played with many bands and taught a few thousand students in New Mexico ever since. And now each Tuesday morning on KSFR - 9:00am - you will listen to and feel the music that Arlen brings to the airwaves. Bumble Bee has been a jazz promoter for twenty-five years here in Santa Fe. He has brought countless musicians to Santa Fe; including Wynton Marsalis. Bumble Bee is a key contributor in the world of Jazz - hosting our very own John Trentacosta every Saturday night at Bumble Bee's Cafe and Grill - 301 Jefferson (see below under "What's Happening"). Bumble Bee is integral to the New Mexico Jazz scene. He heads the Santa Fe Jazz Foundation which helps to sponsor independent Jazz Programs and The New Mexico Jazz Festival (held each year during the last two weeks of July). So many musicians were there to honor Arlen and Bumble Bee; providing the finest music in town. Musicians who entertained everyone at the celebration included:
Arlen Asher (Woodwinds) (The Jazz Experience)
John Trentacosta (Drums) (The Bopera House)
Lenny Tischler (Bass)
Jan MacDonald (Trumpet)
Pat Malone (Guitar)
Tony Ceserano (Guitar)
Brian Bennett (Keyboards)
Phyllis Love (Keyboards and Vocals)
Jerry Becker (Sax) (Now's the Time)
Bryan Highhill (Trumpet) (Operations)

A few weeks later Bari made a visit to "One of One" and - Bari's pottery is now on display. Bari says: "See what listening to KSFR can bring about? For me, it was a great opportunity to hear about a business venture that I would never have imagined." Please send your activities to Linda@KSFR.org

WHADDYA READIN'? We would like to share what you are currently reading - and your recommendations.
 Dal's current pick: "End Games" by Michael Dibdin. According to our General Manager, "the last, though not the best, in the Aurelio Zen mystery series. It's a novel of place, as much as plot, with breath-taking exposition of Italy." Sheesh, Dal, you velvet tongued devil.
Ellen (News) is enjoying: "The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao" by Junot Diaz .
 AND
"The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon AND
