About:
A poetic glance at one week in March 2003 that defined the struggle of a nation at war abroad and with its people. It follows Youth Poetry Slam Team Coach, Bill Nevins' firing as a teacher, and the silencing of his outspoken Rio Rancho High School Poetry Team. Days later, hundreds of peaceful protesters demonstrating nearby were brutally assaulted by police. Free Speech Zones were enforced at gunpoint. The fabric of the Constitution was crumbling. Yet out of this fire, across the country, arose a diverse community of musicians and poets. Dubbed Poetic Justice, it modelled free speech and supported Nevins and was a testament to our creative spirit, representing a path toward transformation and hope.

Cool Summer - Dexter Gordon And McCoy Tynan
Format: Music Concert
Distributed By: Planet Blue Pictures US

About:
Little was heard of tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon on-record during the 1950s; in fact this somewhat obscure LP (@Savoy, in one of their reissue programs, also released these performances) was one of Gordon's only three appearances on record (two as a leader) during 1953-1959. He fronts a quintet with pianist Carl Perkins, bassist Leroy Vinnegar, drummer Chuck Thompson, and the forgotten trumpeter Jim Robinson, and sounds pretty strong on the straight-ahead material. Few surprises occur but this collector's item from a dark period in Dexter Gordon's life has its share of fine music.

Have we finally solved all the puzzles? “To die, to be really dead, that would be glorious” – Dracula. Why would it be glorious to be really dead? What message was Bram Stoker trying to tell us in his tales of Dracula? One of the darkest tales ever to emerge from the mind of man is the story of the arch-Vampire, Dracula. It took Bram Stoker more than seven years to unravel and retell the history and mystery of this ancient myth. In all this time he must have uncovered more than just a simple horror story. This work investigates Bram Stoker, his life, his friends, his associations, and in doing so, we find clues to the real truth behind the tale of Dracula.
