    THE SHIFTING GEARS UPDATE:

    First up, big up to all those who drooped by this past Saturday and caught
    my man Shuya Okino of KYOTO JAZZ MASSIVE tearing it up without warning at
    Shifting Gears. We would've thought that he'd had enough after his stellar
    set at Movement the night before, but evidently we stand corrected. Kyoto
    don't stop! Can't wait to check Rainer Truby root down at Movement March 23.

    IT'S ALL BLACK MUSIC. As Black History Month comes to an end, we need to
    take a moment in respect and in loving memory of all the black artists who
    overcame adversity, both in the United States and internationally, to create
    some of the most beautiful and inspiring of our recent history. Just this
    past month we lost two major figures in jazz and soul music, the legendary
    jazz organist Jack McDuff, and master trombonist JJ Johnson. They leave a
    timeless legacy, along with other legends like John Coltrane, Miles Davis,
    Fela Kuti, Jimi Hendrix, Billie Holiday, Tito Puente, Ella Fitzgerald, Sun
    Ra, Marvin Gaye, Larry Levan, Grant Green, Lee Morgan and countless others.
    You've left us with a legacy of music so beautiful and powerful that it
    continues to transcend ethnic racial and cultural boundaries even where
    closed minds and justice cannot. Thank you for your music and inspiration.

    NAV.
