Opening Night:
January 8th, 7-11pm
Show runs Jan 8th- Feb 5th
TRANSYLVANIA is a series of 3D lenticular images that reflect on ideas of transformation and acceptance in the context of Detroit’s troubled landscape, using the unusual medium of lenticular holography to create multi-layered, hypercolor images with stunning depth and motion qualities. Dean creates illusions that make objects appear to levitate, shimmer and move as viewers walk by. Though lenticular images have a fifty year history of kitch and commercialism the technology is used by Dean in an exciting way that takes full advantage of the medium’ s potential.
The content focuses on Dean s relationship with the troubled city of Detroit and the concept of transformation in the city but also as a universal truth. “Stability is an illusion” , Dean says in the opening paragraph of the show s statement. This theme gets played out in the exhibit’s eleven 3′ x 4′ pieces where robots, rainbows and prostitutes seem caught in an inexplicable metamorphous, as Dean would say all things are. The photographically based pieces are brightly colored and temper the sometimes gritty content with an element of humor and otherworldliness.

The Miami Symphony Orchestra Led By Conductor Eduardo Marturet Provides ‘An Evening In Vienna’ Concert
8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23
Adrienne Arsht Center
1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, 33132.
Popular Annual Signature Concert Features Great Overtures, Waltzes, Dances
The Miami Symphony Orchestra www.themiso.org (MISO) will perform its signature annual concert, “An Evening in Vienna,†including great overtures, waltzes and dances, and featuring MISO’s concertmaster violinist Daniel Andai as soloist, today announced MISO Music Director and Conductor Eduardo Marturet. The popular annual New Year’s celebration concert takes place at 8 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 23, at the Adrienne Arsht Center, 1300 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, 33132.
The event emulates the traditional New Year’s Day concert performed by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, which takes place every January 1 in Vienna. In Austria, the demand for tickets to this concert is so high that concertgoers have to pre-register a year in advance in order to participate in a ticket drawing. Seats are reserved by Austrian families and shared from generation to generation. The concert has also enjoyed significant popularity in Miami for the past 20 years.
The concert’s program will be divided into two sections: the first will include pieces from Bedřich Smetana and Max Bruch, and the second will include overtures, dances and waltzes from Johann Strauss. The event also will include encore performances similar to the original Vienna concert, including Strauss’ Radetzky March, which was first played in 1848 for Austrian soldiers who stomped their feet and clapped their hands when the chorus was played. Maestro Eduardo Marturet will lead the audience to join in clapping and stomping their feet in time to the music.
“We are proud to present our signature annual concert, ‘An Evening in Vienna,’ joining our audiences in a celebration of the New Year and a breathtaking journey to enjoy the charm, decadence and romance of Vienna,†Maestro Marturet said. “We look forward to providing audiences with a unique experience and a very memorable evening. The sophisticated selections that comprise this special program are the basis of our ongoing commitment to solidify MISO’s international stature.â€
The concert is part of MISO’s innovative concert line-up, designed to appeal to all types of music lovers who have an affinity for everything from traditional classical music to contemporary sounds, including famous movie soundtracks. Upcoming concerts include “Visual Journey Through Art and Music†on February 12 and 13, an artistic alliance with The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum featuring violinist Kristóf Baráti. Season subscriptions are on sale now. Three program subscriptions are available from $79 to $193, and full season subscriptions are available from $250 to $450, or nine programs for the cost of seven. For details, visit www.themiso.org/tickets.php, call (305) 275-5666, or email info@themiso.org.
The Miami Symphony Orchestra (MISO) is considered a contributor to Miami’s cultural fabric. Ambitious, accomplished and respected far beyond the city’s boundaries, the symphony enjoys the status of a Major Cultural Organization. With national and world premiers becoming more common, the Miami Symphony is a source of growing local pride and support.
Since 2006, the symphony’s baton has been in the hands of Maestro Eduardo Marturet www.miamisymphony.org/marturet.php, a Venezuelan composer and conductor acclaimed on three continents. The not-for-profit symphony also conducts an in-school arts and education program for elementary school students in the Miami-Dade Public School System, and provides low-or no-cost tickets to students and senior citizens in South Florida.

The Stage Brings Inspiration To The Streets Of Miami
Entertainment Venue Lets Artistic Expression Run Free
The Stage brings an elevated entertainment offering to Miami’s discerning residents and visitors. Welcoming the masses to experience emerging music acts, groundbreaking live performances and various cultural shows The Stage provides artists with an incredible platform to showcase their talents. Destined to forever alter the city’s entertainment scene, The Stage has raised the stakes for Miami’s burgeoning music and entertainment industry.
Conceptualized by Carlos F. Garcia and Sasha Torres, The Stage is a haven for artists and a place for the community to enjoy some of the oldest forms of entertainment including art, film, music and theatre. From the creative minds behind Sound Theory Live, a radio show on WDNA that showcases local talent on live air, The Stage continues Garcia and Torres’s mission of promoting local musicians. Realizing a need for an all encompassing entertainment venue, Garcia and Torres began exploring how they could create a place where different people could have multiple experiences in the same venue at the same time. Inspired by its eccentric crowd and comprehensive collection of dining and nightlife, the two selected Miami’s up-and-coming Design District for their location. “The Design District is in the midst of a cultural revolution,†explained Garcia, “it is undoubtedly becoming the destination for South Florida residents and visitors and The Stage is solidifying the District as the place to beâ€.
The 10,000 square foot venue (3,200 square feet inside and 7,000 square feet outside) boasts the perfect set up for performance and pleasure. With the stage as the focal point, guests are guaranteed a perfect view and an unforgettable experience. State-of-the-art acoustics, an intimate ambiance and various amenities ensure both the artist and audience unparallel entertainment. Able to accommodate 1000 guests, The Stage presents the public with a unique space for not only entertainment but also corporate and private events. The Stage is ideal for record release parties, photo shoots, exhibitions, fashion shows, cover parties, product launches, and corporate happy hours.
Designed by Andrea Mejia, The Stage takes inspiration from the music centric city of New Orleans – a place that’s given way to legends like Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino – where Jazz, Funk, and Cowpunk all have their roots. In the 1960’s, New Orleans rose to popularity as a sophisticated town full of cultural experiences. Garcia, a part time resident of New Orleans since March 2005, has spent a substantial amount of time developing relationships in music and arts world in both Miami and New Orleans. Torres adds “As I visited Carlos’ house in New Orleans I was inspired to create something here in Miami that both of us felt captured the artistic essence of the Big Easyâ€. The charm and sophistication of old New Orleans is apparent in throughout The Stage, from the décor and music to the staff and menu, allowing guests to be transported back in time. The décor incorporates the music. Expect to be served old time New Orleans favorites from the bar including the bourbon milk punch and mint julep while staff is dressed in white button-up shirts with black vests a nod to old, southern sophistication.
Creating a home for well known and undiscovered artists alike, The Stage is the first of its kind in Miami. During the day, the venue is used as rehearsal space for artists young and old and at night The Stage invites local artists to test boundaries and showcase their talents in front of live audiences. On any given night patrons can take in a variety of experiences whether an up-and-coming band is rocking out, a comedian is on stage, or an indie film is in the reel on Cinema & Sushi Nights.
The Stage is the latest to join Miami’s booming Music Corridor which stretches from the outskirts of Brickell to the Brooklyn-esque Design District. For entertainment booking contact Eric Garcia at booking@thestagemiami.com, for events and private parties contact Jessica Muelle at events@thestagemiami.com. For general information on The Stage visit their website at www.thestage.com, find them on facebook at www.facebook.com/thestagemiami or call 305.576.9577.
With its finger on the pulse, Sound Theory Live is Miami’s top radio show dedicated to exposing local talent. Hosted by Carlos Garcia from 7pm to 8pm on Friday nights on WDNA 88.9FM and on www.wdna.org, the show is geared towards promoting the great local musicians by showcasing their talents live on the radio. Each week the show has a different band playing live from the studio with a little “get to know them†interview. Recently Garcia was voted Best FM Radio Personality of 2010 by Miami New Times. Currently Sound Theory Live is working on an unscripted pilot to place Miami’s music scene on the map. Join Carlos, Sasha and Eric as they travel the country in search of great, undiscovered live music acts to bring to The Stage.

There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. We repeat: there is nothing wrong with your television set. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to…The Outer Limits.
— Opening narration, The Control Voice, 1960s
Exploring the overlaps between space, place and artifact—a perforation is introduced. A moment, a window, and a possibility that may transmit a disruption in the fabric of Dimensions Variable by introducing a variable dimension.
Felice Grodin was born in Bologna, Italy and currently lives and works in Miami Beach. She obtained her BArch from Tulane University and her MArch with Distinction from Harvard University. Her first solo Lost Horizon, featuring the depiction of alternative architectural exploration, debuted at Diana Lowenstein Fine Arts in 2009, where she is currently represented. Her work was also featured recently in the group show Drawing Beyond the Plane at the Tampa Museum of Art. In addition, her first curatorial project was in 2008 at Locust Projects in Miami called “Synesthetics†which explored the creative interface between art and technology.
Samantha Salzinger is currently an Associate Professor and Art Department Chair at Palm Beach State College. She obtained her MFA from Yale University in Photography and her BFA from Florida International University. Samantha was the recipient of the South Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship in 2000 and again in 2009. Among her recent exhibitions are “With You I Want To Liveâ€, an exhibition of the Francie Bishop-Good and David Horvitz collection at the Museum of Art at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art and her upcoming second solo exhibition at Gallery Diet in March of 2011.
Special thanks to Poliform Miami, Maritza Pena, Chris Vandevier, Dogan Arslanoglu and Jacqueline Falcone.
Dimensions Variable is an exhibition space in the Miami Design District interested in innovative new projects. The intention behind Dimensions Variable is to feature projects by individual artists and collaborative projects. Rather than showcasing group or solo exhibitions in the usual format, we are interested in exhibitions that address our space specifically and produce one cohesive project. Dimensions Variable aspires to provide a forum for the introduction of unfamiliar, complex, collaborative and multidisciplinary practices to a Miami audience.

Vatican Splendors: A Journey through Faith and Art, one of the largest collections of art, documents and historically significant objects from the Vatican to ever tour North America, will be on view at the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, from Jan. 29-April 24, 2011. Group tickets (for groups of 15 or more) and single tickets are now available for purchase. The renowned exhibition is presented by Holy Cross Hospital, in association with PNC Bank and AutoNation.
Vatican Splendors illustrates the evolution of the Catholic Church and its papacy beginning with Saint Peter, with special emphasis on art and historical objects reflecting significant events and periods relating to Christianity. The exhibition includes more than 200 objects, many of which have never been on public view. It features spectacular paintings by artists such as Giotto and Il Guercino, sculpture by Baroque master Gian Lorenzo Bernini, and unique objects including paintings, mosaics, sculpture, jewels, intricately embroidered silk vestments, uniforms of the Papal Swiss Guard, as well as an elaborately decorated gold and silver reliquary containing bone fragments of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. A highlight of the exhibition is a small stone PietaÌ, a relief carved by Michelangelo late in his career, which is accompanied by documents and personal objects belonging to the Renaissance master.
The objects are presented in the Museum’s galleries and in specially-created environments that enhance the visitor’s understanding of both the historical and artistic significance of each work. Descriptive labels throughout the exhibition are bilingual in both English and Spanish, as is an audio tour, which is available for an additional fee.
The Web site for Vatican Splendors, www.vaticansplendors.com, offers a direct link to ticket purchase, as well as complete information about the exhibition, photographs of objects, downloadable educator guides for schools, gallery layouts, descriptions for the media and information about the lenders.
Irvin Lippman, the Museum’s Executive Director, said, “This exhibition provides residents and visitors to South Florida a singular opportunity to view an enormously important artistic and historic collection that literally opens a window onto the development of Catholic Church, its contributions to the political and cultural life of the western world, and depictions of faith and art.â€
COST:
Single Vatican Splendors tickets, which include general admission to the Museum, are priced at $20 for adults, $17 for seniors, and $13 for children, and are now available. Single tickets for Vatican Splendors can be purchased at www.vaticansplendors.com, at the Museum Box Office, at www.ticketmaster.com, or by phone at 1-877-2VATICAN (1-877-282-8422).

Organized and circulated in conjunction with the Congregazione per l’Evangelizzazione dei Popoli of the Vatican City State, the exhibition is produced by Evergreen Exhibitions in association with the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University.
Since its founding in 1958, the Museum of Art I Fort Lauderdale has served our growing community as a gathering place for friends and neighbors, a lifelong learning center for children and adults, and as a dynamic hub for the cultural life of Broward County. Housed since 1986 in a distinguished modernist building designed by Edward Larrabee Barnes, the Museum is South Florida’s premier destination for quality exhibitions and programs that encompass every facet of civilization’s visual history. During the past five years, more than 1½ million visitors have enjoyed remarkable exhibitions like Cradle of Christianity, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, and American Chronicles: The Art of Norman Rockwell. In 2008, the Museum became part of Nova Southeastern University, the sixth-largest private university in the nation, to form an expanded arts campus that joins the school’s Davie location with the Museum’s downtown Fort Lauderdale address.
The Museum of Art is located at One East Las Olas Boulevard at Andrews Avenue and is always open at www.moafl.org.

More Info.
The Miami Beach Art Deco weekend is a massive festival along Ocean Drive featuring numerous booths selling antiques, clothing, memoribillia, arts and crafts and much else from the Art Deco era. There are food vendors, live performers and numerous other activities.
During the 1920s and 30s, advertisers transitioned from simple one-on-one sales pitches to a broader and more subtle style of engaging larger audiences by eliciting feelings and selling ideas. Coupled with that was the rise in mass circulation magazines, national radio broadcasts, and the influential power of the motion picture—promotion took on a new meaning and advertising was forever altered.
Art Deco Weekend Drive Parade
As is customary, the Art Deco Weekend Ocean Drive Parade will take place on Saturday at 11 a.m.. The Grand Marshal for 2011 will be the renowned Miami Beach Celebrity Elaine Lancaster. The Arf Deco Dog Parade will join along with the main Art Deco Parade. Dog participants and their owners are encouraged to dress in their most glamourous costumes and meet at 10:30 on Sat. Jan.15th at 6th Street and Ocean Drive just north of the yellow wash house in Lummas Park.

The Art Deco Classic Car Fest, sponsored by the South Florida Antique Automobile Club of America, features true classics and awards trophies for best Pre-War and Post- War autos. All classic cars are eligible to be judged and are encouraged to participate.

RHAW is street dancing at its “RHAW-est.†Mastering hip hop styles such as Campbell Locking, Popping, and Boogaloo to b-boy/girl house and hip hop social dance, RHAW brings the roots of hip hop from the street corners of Philly to concert stages around the world. RHAW was conceived in 2007 by three-time Alvin Ailey Award winner Dr. Rennie Harris in response to the overwhelming interest from teens and young adults to join the main company, Rennie Harris Puremovement (RHPM).
Performed by some of the greatest young stars of street dance today, the company’s repertoire honors the true essence of hip hop. RHAW – forges new paths for the next generation of hip hop practitioners, honoring the history of hip hop, exploring new ideas in the ever-evolving genre, and providing new contributions to this important American art form.
“We invite Miami to join us as we applaud the artistic contributions of the African-American community this month and all year long at the Adrienne Arsht Center,†said M. John Richard, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “RHAW is a dance company that represents the very best of the pioneering American spirit and the rich culture of the African Diaspora, coming together to create pure magic on stage.â€
RHAW is a vibrant young group of hip hop dance professionals that train under the great choreographer Rennie Harris, founder and CEO of Rennie Harris Puremovement (RHPM), a company established on the belief that hip hop is the most important original artistic expression of our generation. Currently celebrating its 20th Anniversary Season, RHPM has emerged as the international hip hop ambassador and surviving senior member in the world of organized hip hop dance theater. RHAW takes this legacy to the next generation of dancers and audience members – channeling the original roots of hip hop to express universal themes that extend beyond racial, religious, and economic boundaries.
Rennie Harris is a North Philadelphia native who has been honored as Artist of the Year by Pennsylvania’s First Lady and received one of only 50 United States Artists Fellowships. He has created evening-length work and repertory pieces for RHPM that deconstruct the perception of hip hop as a violent, undisciplined counterculture, transforming popular perception of the genre and expanding the boundaries of hip hop culture in America. RHPM cultivates an appreciation for diversity and is dedicated to preserving and disseminating hip hop culture through workshops, classes, lecture-demonstrations, dance residencies, mentoring programs, and public performances.

Pan American Art Projects presents Gustavo Acosta: Here
The artist is available for interviews, and will be present at the opening reception:
Opening reception: January 8, 2011 from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m.
2450 NW 2nd Avenue. Miami, FL 33127
www.panamericanart.com
Pan American Art Projects presents Gustavo Acosta: HERE, a tribute exhibition to the city of Miami. Obsessed by the power of architecture, the artist traces the urban transformation of the city he calls home in this new series of works. Having witnessed the real estate boom and economic crash that followed thereafter, Acosta’s pieces encapsulate architectural giants in a stand-still moment; whether plummeting to ruins, being erected, or standing strong amidst the chaos of a city of lost promise. Works like “Borrando las Huellas”, which depicts collapsing buildings, and “One Day I Find Myself Building a Circus”, a large canvas of the foundations of the new Marlin Stadium, portray the city as a breathing entity; one that suffers with the collapse or construction of its parts; what is enfolding in each canvas is left up to the viewer to decide.
The pulsating city in Acosta’s canvases is a city at conflict with itself. An undeniable nostalgia creeps through the artist’s hectic brushstrokes. The emotional intensity of the artist’s world is present as Acosta captures a fleeting moment in the trajectory of the city’s day-to-day. Acosta has always made the cities in which he has resided the protagonists of his oeuvre. In this exhibition, we see Miami through the artist’s eyes. He sets before us a map of his city: the places that define Miami as his hometown. HERE is Acosta’s tribute to Miami, through these works the artist is embracing his role in the city; grounding his roots and proclaiming his sense of belonging HERE.

Marie Lorenz
Waverunner XV; Indices and Abstractions
Opening reception: Saturday, January 8, 2011, 7-10pm
Conversation with the artist, 6pm
Locust Projects
155 NE 38th Street, Suite 100
Miami, Fl 33137
Through February 19
Locust Projects is pleased to present Waverunner XV; Indices and Abstractions, an exhibition by New York-based artist Marie Lorenz. Conceived specifically for Miami, the exhibition is a continuation of the artist’s ongoing exploration of urban waterways and narratives. Through video, sculpture and large-scale works on paper, Lorenz examines and abstracts familiar places, objects, and actions.
For the first time, Lorenz is experimenting with a jet ski – a contemporary mode of transportation and sport. The artist has built a floating ramp, modeled after an ocean wave, which was taken out to Biscayne Bay. There, Lorenz filmed the interaction of the jet ski and ramp, which simultaneously become subject and object. The resulting video explores moments of floating and unexpected discovery and will be on view at the gallery alongside the ramp.
Lorenz will also present a series of black and white prints. The first, a vinyl diagram of the jet ski’s pump (the jet that propels the machine through the water), takes form on Locust Projects’ window façade and provides a kind of floating explanation of the forces at work inside the machine.
On display inside the space are handmade works on paper created using a method employed by Japanese anglers to precisely record their prize catches. To create these works, the artist has painted sumi ink onto the surface of the jet ski, and then pressed rice paper onto its handle bars, hoses, cables and decals, recording the man-made object in the style of a Japanese fish print.
By indexing select aspects, perspectives and features of the jet ski and the jump, the artist has abstracted the object, and transformed its representations into illustrations of her own personal exploration.
Marie Lorenz was born in Twenty-nine Palms, CA, in 1973 and currently resides in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA in sculpture from Yale University, New Haven, CT, in 2002. She has participated in the Rome Prize Fellowship, American Academy in Rome, Italy (2008); and residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, ME (2004); Salzburg International Summer Academy, Public Interventions Seminar, Austria (2002); and The Arques School of Traditional Boatbuilding, Sausalito, CA (1997). Recent solo projects include Upriver, performance for the Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, NY (2010); Shipwrecks, Jack Hanley Gallery, NY (2010); and The Inner Sea, a web-log that documents exploration of waterways around Rome, ITALY. In her ongoing project, Tide and Current Taxi (2005-2008), the artist acts as a guide for participants wishing to visit sites in areas surrounding New York City that are accessible only by water. After each voyage, Lorenz provides a detailed account of the journey in her Web journal, www.tideandcurrenttaxi.org.

Exceptional Bassist Christian McBride & Inside Straight in Concert January 8th
Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center
Nova Southeastern University campus
3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314
South Florida JAZZ welcomes arguably the most important bass player in jazz, Grammy-winner CHRISTIAN McBRIDE who will appear with his band INSIDE STRAIGHT for the first time in Florida.
South Florida’s premier modern jazz organization is privileged to feature Christian McBride and Inside Straight. Mr. McBride is at the zenith of modern acoustic and electric bassists. Best known as a jazz musician, he also is in tremendous demand in several genres. This concert takes place at the 500-seat Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center on the Nova Southeastern University campus, 3100 Ray Ferrero, Jr Blvd in Davie 33314. Tickets are $40 ($30 for South Florida JAZZ members and $15 for students under age 25 with I.D.) and may be purchased from the Broward Center Box Office by calling 954.462.0222 in Broward County; also toll-free at 877-311-SHOW, as well as online at: southfloridajazz.org, the presenting organization’s official Web site.
Bassist Christian McBride is one of those bigger-than-life artists that just burst onto the music scene seemingly in full bloom. His father and great uncle, both well-known Philadelphia bassists, mentored him early. By his 21st birthday, he was a remarkably mature player and rapidly became everyone’s favorite young acoustic bassist of the 1990s and then the 2000s. Christian’s huge sound and prodigious technique, both with plucked and bowed solos, recall the legendary Ray Brown and particularly Paul Chambers. More importantly, his solos evoke the melodic lines of a horn player. He actually started on electric bass when he was eight and took R&B gigs in high school, but by then he was getting more interested in jazz and playing the acoustic bass.
McBride studied at Juilliard (starting in 1989) and then played briefly in the bands of Bobby Watson, Benny Golson, Roy Hargrove, and Freddie Hubbard. He toured with the Benny Green’s trio, played duets with Ray Brown at the 1994 Monterey Jazz Festival, and recorded his debut as a leader for Verve before touring with his own group in 1995. Beginning with A Family Affair in 1998, McBride began opening up his sound and incorporating more of the pop, funk, and fusion styles he grew up with. This approach continued through such albums as Sci-Fi and Vertical Vision. Having jumped labels from Verve to Warner in the early 2000s, McBride made yet another label change, releasing the more straight-ahead New York Time on Chesky in 2006. In 2009, McBride returned with an equally straight-ahead set of mostly all original tunes, Kind of Brown with this current band, Inside Straight.
He is undoubtedly the most widely recorded and requested bassist in contemporary music. It is not only in the jazz world that Christian McBride has left his mark. An equally adept electric and acoustic bassist, he has recorded with Sting, Queen Latifa, DJ Logic, Diana Krall, and classical vocalist Kathleen Battle. In the last few years, he has become the regular bassist for Pat Metheny and recurrently plays with Chick Corea in Five Peace Band and Chick’s new trio with drummer Brian Blade. Further, he just left the position of Creative Chair for Jazz with the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, relinquishing it after four years to Herbie Hancock. Christian is co-director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. And he is still in his thirties.
Inside Straight is a band composed of five exceptional players. The front line features the superb alto saxophonist Steve Wilson and rising-star vibraphonist Warren Wolf, Jr. The rhythm section is solid with creative pianist Peter Martin, who came to prominence with saxophonist Joshua Redman, and the veteran, hard-swinging drummer and long-time CMcB collaborator, Carl Allen. Chris, of course, drives the band like no bass player since Ray Brown.
Funding for this organization is provided in part by the Broward County Board of County Commissioners as recommended by the Broward Cultural Council.

Honoring Diana Lowenstein, a respected member of the international art scene, Diane Camber, the former director of the Bass Museum will present a special tribute to the recipient of the 2011 “Arts of Distinction Award†during Opening Preview.
In addition to offering first viewing of America’s most exciting mid-winter contemporary art fair, with 73 exhibitors (25 local and 48 international dealers), Opening Preview of MIA on Thursday, January 13th plays host to an unconventional and energizing new wave of performance projects. For the opening night show organizers, International Fine Arts Expositions (IFAE), have partnered with cultural and community organizations, as well as established and emerging artists, to unveil a bevy of surprises and ensure a comprehensive and “next-generation†experience.
First there is show curator Gean Moreno’s experiential presentation. The noted Miami artist, critic and curator, has created a truly multi-disciplinary playground for audiences through a collaborative effort with SPRING BREAK, a non-profit organization designed to develop new modes of approaching contemporary art and culture within South Florida, and augurari, also a non-profit which publishes audio works by contemporary visual artists. “These groups are pioneering, daring and young. They engage audiences through a combination of music, performance and visual arts,†exclaims Moreno.
Graffiti artist Jona Cerwinske will create magic once again. The artist who gained viral fame for transforming a Lamborghini Gallardo into a jaw-dropping piece of art, and with only a Sharpie, will have at it again. This time with a Porsche Carrera S 911. Additionally, he will paint the the walls of the Rudolf Budja Gallery booth space, the gallery where he is currently exhibiting. Patrons will be able to watch Cerwinske apply his midas touch in an unforgettable performance.
On the heels of a successful sold-out show in Zurich, Russian artist Artem Mirolevich will mesmerize audiences as he blurs the boundaries between painting and performance art with “Transformation.†He begins with a white backdrop. Adds color, depth and texture to create a setting. He then introduces a half- or nearly- naked model who melts into the background and becomes part of the canvas. A videographer will capture it all on film as will professional photos of the completed work.
Last, but certainly not least, is mixed media provocateur Lucinda Linderman, an artist with a powerful message about environmental stewardship. Linderman uses reclaimed plastics and other reusable materials to create her sculptures, installations and mixed media pieces. For the opening night, Linderman unveils a fashion performance entitled “ Excess Extravaganceâ€, which correlates the perceived extravagance and excess of the royal court of the 18th century and the Rococo style with American consumerism today. “For this performance, I am reclaiming plastic to create a dress as extravagant as the dresses worn by Marie Antoinette to bring to light the waste created by our striving to be extravagant,†said Linderman.
Another exciting feature Preview-goers will get to experience first is a revolutionary new Apple application. The free MIA iPhone app powered by Collectrium allows visitors to take a snapshot of any artwork exhibited at the fair and instantly receive extensive information on artist and piece, add their own notes, bookmark it for later, share with friends via social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook and even contact the gallery directly. The app also boasts other nifty features like the ability to view the entire catalogue on your mobile device, see a map of the Show and review programming for the course of the four-day Fair.

Chef Christopher Lee
Chef Christopher Lee began his career at age 14 in his hometown on Long Island, “I always had that sort of sixth sense about food,” Lee says. “I always knew that I wanted to be a Chef. In high school, I used to ditch classes just to watch cooking shows on TV.”
Lee Graduated from the prestigious California Culinary Academy and then went on to hone his culinary talents in some of the country’s most prestigious restaurants, including New York City’s Restaurant Daniel and Jean Georges, and San Francisco’s Fifth Floor.
As Sous Chef at New York’s Oceana, where he worked under Cornelius Gallagher, Lee was integral in redefining the restaurant’s approach to the elegant dining experience. Awarded three stars by the New York Times, the New York Post proclaimed Oceana to be “The city’s best seafood restaurant.”
Selected by Gotham Bar and Grill’s Alfred Portale to be the chef de cuisine at Stephen Starr’s remake of the legendary Striped Bass in Philadelphia, Lee quickly rose to the position of Executive Chef, putting his personal style on all culinary aspects of the restaurant. Under his direction, Striped Bass received widespread critical acclaim, including a highly coveted Four Bells review from the Philadelphia Inquirer, “Best New American Restaurant 2004” in Travel + Leisure, and Gourmet selected it as one of the country’s top restaurants in 2006.
In 2005, Lee was named the James Beard Foundations’ “Rising Star Chef of the Year,” and in 2006 was among Food and Wine’s “Top Ten Best New Chefs.” Returning to New York as Executive Chef of Gilt, Lee earned the restaurant two Michelin stars. In December 2008, Lee was selected by Charlie Palmer to take command of Aureole’s kitchen, just in time for the restaurant’s spring landmark move to the Bank of America Tower at One Bryant Park. “Christopher Lee could not be a better fit for Aureole with his modern American palate, New York roots and bold approach to flavors and wine,” says Palmer.
Since the grand opening, Chef Lee has brought unparalleled success to Aureole including a 29 food rating in Zagat, the highest in NYC for 2009. Additionally, Chef Lee was a contestant on the premiere season of Bravo’s Top Chef Masters and is currently the consulting chef for Orange County Choppers Roadhouse, a full service restaurant, bar, microbrewery, and entertainment experience based on the extraordinarily popular Orange County Choppers brand.
Philosophy
In addition to the following the seasons and the latest culinary trends, Lee finds inspiration in abstract art, which is evident in his plating techniques. Rather than building presentations in the center of the plate, Lee prefers to use the lines, spaces, colors and shapes of the various components of a dish to create a new abstract dining aesthetic. Through juxtaposing soft and crunchy textures, and sweet and sour flavors, Lee’s creations give diners a different experience with each bite.

Reception at CANDO Arts Co-Op
Friday, January 14 at 6pm
309 23RD Street
Miami Beach, FL 33139
Candoartscoop.com
BUTTONS UP, a solo exhibit of sculptures by artist Augusto Esquivel, opens Friday, January 14 at 6pm with a reception at CANDO ARTS CO-OP.
The show features more than fourteen 2 and 3-dimensional sculptures made from thousands of sewing buttons, a body of work that took two years to create.
Sculptures of objects, such as Augusto’s yellow fire hydrant, are constructed by suspending hundreds of buttons from strands of fishing line; the buttons are precisely aligned to create life-size replicas.
Esquivel also gives shape to portraits. The image of Audrey Hepburn is captured in buttons and beads that span across a wall at 104 inches; Red buttons create the face of Marilyn Monroe, mole and all.
The show includes the button portraits of James Dean and Bjork, a life-size upright piano button sculpture, a ball of buttons 32 inches in diameter and a true-to-life-size button toilet!
The unique technique was developed by the artist, who paints the buttons, cuts and drills through acrylic panels and deciphers the exact position of every single button.
A native of Argentina, Augusto Esquivel lives in Miami Beach and is a resident artist of CANDO Arts Co-op.
BUTTONS UP runs through February 6, 2011. CANDO Arts Co-op is located at 309 23rd Street, one block west of Collins Ave, Miami Beach. For more information, contact Augusto Esquivel at 754 423 3437 or CANDO Arts Co-op 305 672 3336.

The Composer is Dead
There’s dreadful news from the Arsht Center – the composer is dead and the perpetrator is lurking within the orchestra! A collaboration by children’s author Lemony Snicket and composer Nathaniel Stookey, The Composer Is Dead is a morbidly funny musical whodunit that “investigates†every section of the orchestra – a Peter and the Wolf for the 21st century, aimed at a new generation.

The concert will be led by Assistant Conductor James Feddeck and will feature Mr. Stookey as narrator. The Composer Is Dead uses a mystery and humor to introduce children to the orchestra, in a 21st-century update of the Peter and the Wolf tradition.
These Cleveland Orchestra performances are presented by the Musical Arts Association of Miami and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County.

Mirabai Ceiba “Live†In Miami
January 22, 2011
Stop, Breathe and Smile is honored to present an uplifting, purifying and inspiring concert extraordinaire with Mirabai Ceiba Live! Experience a blissful weekend of self renewal which begins with an evening of spiritual music and soulful chanting. Mirabai Ceiba expresses their hearts through music in Spanish, English and Sanskrit on Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 7:30pm at Historic Trinity Cathedral, located at 464 NE 16 Street, Miami, Florida.
The weekend culminates with The Heart of Healing Sacred Chant Workshop. Mirabai Ceiba, through their dedication to the discovery of the healing energy of compassionate love, will take you on a journey traveling through the vibrations of the voice to penetrate the soul and manifest healing and peace. This intimate experience will take place on Sunday, January 23, 2011 from 2-5 PM at Sacred Space, located at 105 NE 24 Street, Miami, Florida. Ticket prices for the concert are $25 in advance, $30 at the door; and $40 in advance, $50 at the door for the workshop. These events are open to the public and tickets may be purchased at www.spiritvoyage.com and by calling 888.735.4800.
The name Mirabai Ceiba expresses the influences of both India and Native Latin America. The Ceiba is the sacred tree of Latin America, where these trees are never cut but are allowed to grow very tall. “We wish our music could be like that kind of tree, with roots deep in the Mother Earth and branches extending wide into Father Sky. Mirabai is for us the wandering, the devotion, the inspiration in all the different aspects of divinity,” says Algelika and Markus.
In 2001, their eyes touched in the crowd at a street fair in Edinbourgh, Scottland and their love took hold of them. They created together Mirabai Ceiba expressing their hearts through music and sacred chant. There is something magical about the combination of Angelika Baumbach and Markus Sieber. “Their music comes from a pure space of love and devotion. It is soothing, peaceful, and very meditative, ” says Deva Premal. Their voices and skillful dance with their instruments is so authentic and pure that you feel the sacred sound current in such a precise way that your heartbeat begins to beat with the rhythm and your blood flows with the melody of their song. A concert with Mirabai Ceiba is uplifting, purifying, inspiring and altogether powerful.
With deep, rich journeys into the sound that is lush, earthy and otherworldly, you will travel your inner universe through their music. Their incredible vocals are accompanied by Angelika’s harp and Markus’ guitar to stunning effect. Ancient Gurmukhi Mantra’s, sacred chants and songs of spiritual poetry by Rumi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Kabir and their own lyrics blend in a unique way towards the One.

Mirabai Ceiba “Live†In Miami
January 22, 2011
Stop, Breathe and Smile is honored to present an uplifting, purifying and inspiring concert extraordinaire with Mirabai Ceiba Live! Experience a blissful weekend of self renewal which begins with an evening of spiritual music and soulful chanting. Mirabai Ceiba expresses their hearts through music in Spanish, English and Sanskrit on Saturday, January 22, 2011 at 7:30pm at Historic Trinity Cathedral, located at 464 NE 16 Street, Miami, Florida.
The weekend culminates with The Heart of Healing Sacred Chant Workshop. Mirabai Ceiba, through their dedication to the discovery of the healing energy of compassionate love, will take you on a journey traveling through the vibrations of the voice to penetrate the soul and manifest healing and peace. This intimate experience will take place on Sunday, January 23, 2011 from 2-5 PM at Sacred Space, located at 105 NE 24 Street, Miami, Florida. Ticket prices for the concert are $25 in advance, $30 at the door; and $40 in advance, $50 at the door for the workshop. These events are open to the public and tickets may be purchased at www.spiritvoyage.com and by calling 888.735.4800.
The name Mirabai Ceiba expresses the influences of both India and Native Latin America. The Ceiba is the sacred tree of Latin America, where these trees are never cut but are allowed to grow very tall. “We wish our music could be like that kind of tree, with roots deep in the Mother Earth and branches extending wide into Father Sky. Mirabai is for us the wandering, the devotion, the inspiration in all the different aspects of divinity,” says Algelika and Markus.
In 2001, their eyes touched in the crowd at a street fair in Edinbourgh, Scottland and their love took hold of them. They created together Mirabai Ceiba expressing their hearts through music and sacred chant. There is something magical about the combination of Angelika Baumbach and Markus Sieber. “Their music comes from a pure space of love and devotion. It is soothing, peaceful, and very meditative, ” says Deva Premal. Their voices and skillful dance with their instruments is so authentic and pure that you feel the sacred sound current in such a precise way that your heartbeat begins to beat with the rhythm and your blood flows with the melody of their song. A concert with Mirabai Ceiba is uplifting, purifying, inspiring and altogether powerful.
With deep, rich journeys into the sound that is lush, earthy and otherworldly, you will travel your inner universe through their music. Their incredible vocals are accompanied by Angelika’s harp and Markus’ guitar to stunning effect. Ancient Gurmukhi Mantra’s, sacred chants and songs of spiritual poetry by Rumi, Thich Nhat Hanh, Kabir and their own lyrics blend in a unique way towards the One.

Join Instructor Susan Hamilton as she uses a wide palate of movement modalities, including Pilates, as a means of strengthening your mind, body and spirit.
Susan says: “When we are born we are not given a personal ‘owner’s manual’ that tells us how our bodies could Move. And over time we may have learned movement habits — some good, some bad.
“Injuries and our age effect our ability to move with ease — and our quality of life. We need to learn our weaknesses and strengths if we want to continue to Move and Enjoy Life.”
The Workshop Will Help You To:
Identify: your movement habits and patterns and how they effect your posture.
Develop: awareness of how you compensate for weaknesses that you may have in parts of your body.
Explore: your posture through various types of movement, including Pilates, by doing mat and standing exercises. All exercises can be modified for your specific requirements.
Learn: how strengthening your “core” muscles assist in your posture and all of your movements.
Please bring a mat and dress in work-out clothing.
Susan will provide any props needed.

Mai Art Series To Celebrate Art And Design Every Month
Maitardi’s Newest Event Series, MaiArt, Showcases Local and International Artists Every Last Wednesday of the Month
Wednesday December 29th at 6pm
Wednesday January 26th
163 NE 39th Street
Miami Design District
With Art Basel behind us but the buzz about Miami’s Design District reinvigorated, Maitardi is adding a new night of art and design, MaiArt, a cocktail gathering every last Wednesday of the month celebrating local and international artists. On Wednesday December 29th at 6pm, Kavachnina Contemporary Gallery will exhibit works by Sebastian Gonzalez and other featured artists while guests enjoy complimentary Prosecco and tapas until 7pm and music by Soul P.
“I wanted to explore the limits of identity projecting my characters in a timeless space,†describes artist Sebastian Adrian-Gonzalez. With his main residence in Paris, France, Sebastian’s pieces delve into interpretations of existentialism through individuals and groups, physical and mental representations, abstract and often violent intensity..
January’s MaiArt event, to be held on Wednesday January 26th will be produced by art curator and consultant Mariavelia Savino of Gildings and Savino. Titled MaiArt Series BEST OF 2010, it will showcase Sophie De Francesca, Tito Gomez, Carlos Augusto Pereira and Karen Starosta-Gilinsky. With a mix of texture, form and colors, each artist evokes combating emotions and reactions to mesh metal, cotton candy plush balls, realistic, magical, color and light.
With a revamped look, Maitardi now boasts a private natural bamboo fence around the plaza’s perimeter, new water features, sculptures and plenty of covered areas, perfect for events. The new entrance, now on the actual corner of 39th street and NE 1st Court (cobblestone street), stars two stone buddhas that welcome patrons to the new and improved Maitardi experience. The main dining area is now covered with oversized umbrellas in case of rain or direct sun exposure. And just adjacent, the finished outside bar shows off a fully stocked bar, extended roof and plenty of breeze.
The menu also underwent slight changes with delicious new tapas, made for sharing. New dishes include Quail Pancetta served with figs, prosciutto and marsala sauce, Grilled Asparagus topped with crispy parmesan, clarified butter and sunny side up quail eggs, Portuguese Octopus served with orange, fennel, cucumber and sweet chili and the Soft Shell Crab on golden polenta with goat cheese and sriracha tartar sauce. A few popular items will stay on the menu such as the Carcioffi Fritti, beer battered roman artichoke hearts with lemon mint aioli, and the Piri-Piri shrimp with ginger and harissa sauce.
Also, Maitardi’s Noche Latina is now every Thursday with sounds by Bossa Nova duo Rosie Max. Daily happy hour still offers $4 beers, $5 glass of wine and $6 specialty cocktails, and on Fridays, accompanied by DJ Aladin’s performance from 5 to 7pm.
About Maitardi:
Located in the oak-shaded plaza corner of NE 2nd avenue and 39th Street (163 NE 39th Street), also known as the heart of the Miami Design District, the risto-bar, a European concept combining ristorante and bar, opened Fall 2009. Maitardi’s experience rests on a casual, outdoors and sociable ambiance, delicious tapas meant for sharing and friendly and professional service. The location has retained its architectural design with the floor to ceiling leaf-mosaic façade along with the native oak trees throughout the patio giving it an irresistible appeal to relax, catch up on work or a book, hang out with friends for happy hour or lunch with a client. Complimentary Wi-Fi and outside bar available.

Live Feed-ing by Jeroen Nelemans
Opening Reception: January 13, 2011, 7pm – 9pm
Broward College’s Central Campus Fine Arts
3501 SW Davie Rd., Building 3, Davie, FL.
More info.
Chicago-based artist Jeroen Nelemans’s solo exhibition Live Feed-ing explores how changes in perception and scale can uncover interrelationships between natural and artificial systems. Comprised of a site-specific and a video installation, both works on view measure and evaluate how cyclical progressions coexist in natural and artificial systems, and how new relationships can be formed when intertwined or placed within different contexts.
Animate objects become inanimate and visa versa in the work Live Feed-ing, 2006, as two display cases are placed within a larger display case, one containing a working fish tank and the other featuring a monitor display of live video camera feed footage highlighting a specific zoomed-in view into the neighboring aquatic environment.
The role of space and time within natural and artificial orders is further mined and undermined in Six Feet Above, 2010, (pictured above) in which a large plane of Astroturf, suspended six feet above the ground, bisects the exhibition space. When seen from below, a vast network of roots weaving in and out from underneath this plane is exposed, while the placement of a central opening and a wooden pedestal allow to viewer to perch above this “floating carpet†and discover that actual grass is growing inside.
Gallery hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9am-3pm, Wednesday 2pm-8 pm or by appointment.
For more information please contact Harumi Abe, Gallery Director via phone 954-201-6894 or via email habe@broward.edu.

Artist Talk with Teresa Diehl
January 8 2011, 6pm
Praxis International Art Gallery
2219 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami FL 33127
www.praxis-art.com
Praxis International Art invites you to an Artist Talk with Teresa Diehl on Saturday, January 8, 2011 at 6pm at the Wynwood gallery.
Teresa Diehl is presenting her video installation work, Maneem (Dream). Diehl’s work was recently added to the permanent collection of the 21c Museum in Lousville, Kentucky. In addition, she will be presenting her work in the exhibition “MariaMaria 1511/2011” from Februrary – June 2011 at the Muzeum Montanelli in Prague.
Teresa Diehl
Mannem (Dream), 2010
3 single channel projected on crochet monofilament
…In a dream, everything slows down; the mind goes in an out between bits and pieces of the past, at the end all is woven in a tapestry of light…
“Maneem†is an immersive three single channel video installation, dealing with reconstructed memories of childhood.
Viewers are invited to walk trough the maze and wonder inside.
Like Dream catchers, the screens are woven webs that only let good dreams filter through…
bad ones stay in the net disappearing with the light of the day and good ones pass trough getting embedded in the subconscious.
The clarity of the images and experience of the work depends on the viewer’s position and his /her relationship to the space,
from where she /he stands the images could be clear and recognizable, like a familiar story line; interrupted and repeated,
or like visual echoes, some kind of dejavu; and finally just suspended colors creating an ephemeral experience.
I am fascinated as how to create a physical space that recreates the labyrinth of the mind.

Inspired By The Hit Movie
Riveting Rhythms, Bold Beats, And A Foot-Stomping Marching Band High-Step Into Miami!
A heart-pounding theatrical stage show featuring 40 band members
from historically black colleges and universities across the nation in a magical celebration of the beat!
Now celebrating its Fifth Anniversary Season, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County proudly presents the energetic musical phenomenon, Drumline Live. Based on the 2002 blockbuster film, Drumline, Drumline Live will high-step into Miami for one night only on January 16, 2011 at 7 p.m., filling the John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall with original compositions and soul-infused interpretations of top 40 hits.
Tickets to Drumline Live are on sale now. Tickets range from $40 to $65 and may be purchased through the Adrienne Arsht Center box office by calling (305) 949-6722, or online at www.arshtcenter.org.
With the imaginative combination of sounds from musical greats from Michael Jackson to Earth, Wind, and Fire to on stage battles and Motown favorites, the band delights and amazes with classic as well as their own original compositions. Drumline Live brings the drum-pounding, percussion-blasting, high-stepping tradition of the marching band onto the stage for an intensely energetic performance sure to have audiences stomping their feet and clapping their hands. Sizzling choreography and daredevil athletic feats take the syncopated magic of marching band tradition straight to the stage!
“We hope Miami is ready to get out of their seats and move to the beat, as DRUMline Live brings its infectious, irrepressible sound to the Knight Concert Hall,†said M. John Richard, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “This performance honors the great musical tradition of marching bands, born on college campuses, and now exploding on stage for all of South Florida to enjoy.â€
Drumline Live is composed of 40 band members including one drum major, 33 percussion and wind players, 5 dancers, and one host, all from America’s historically black colleges and universities. Performances range from vividly choreographed routines to heavy doses of drum riffs and cadences. The live stage show encompasses a rainbow of sound – from funk to R&B to oldies – this marching band amazes with sheer sonic adventure.
Don P. Roberts, creator and musical director of Drumline Live, was inspired to produce the theatrical adaptation after serving as Executive Band Consultant for the hit movie Drumline. Under Roberts’ direction, his 300 member band played the role of the Atlanta A&K marching band in the film. As a result of Roberts coaching, training, original compositions, and choreography Drumline was nominated for Most Outstanding Motion Picture by the NAACP, and garnered the American Choreography Award. A graduate of Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU), Roberts served as drum major, student conductor, and student arranger. FAMU is known as the university where the marching band traditional originated more than 50 years ago, and has long been regarded as having the nation’s preeminent marching band. Roberts currently serves as the Instrumental Music Coordinator for the Dekalb County School System in Georgia. He also serves as President of Halftime Live, which provided the drumline for the Atlanta Falcons in 2006 and for the Atlanta Hawks in 2007 and 2008.

Walbert Perez Solo Exhibition.
Wednesday January 19
6:00- 9:00 PM
Cristina Chacon Studio Gallery
3162 Commodore Plaza, Suite 1F2
Coconut Grove, Fl 33133
Walbert Perez is an artist who faces painting with dedication bust also with passion, as you can perceive in the saturated and powerful surfaces of his canvas.
Walbert has a history of more than 15 years in the painting. He has participated in about 30 collective exhibitions and performed 11 solos. Within his international route are: the Gallery of the Inter-American Bank of Development (BID) (2009); Borderless Generation-Contemporary art from Latin-America (2009); Korea Foundation Cultural Center, Seoul (2008), international art fair, ArteBa, Buenos Aires (2010) among others.
In his most recent work called “implosion”, Walbert burst from abstractionism with unusual impetus on intolerance and indifference linked to politics and violence in Colombia. Huge black backgrounds as dark as the silence and the uncertain of the country, target surfaces with timid colors and large white outbursts “implosiones” evoke a break, a recollection inwards, what could perhaps be the only hope against a very dark background: the reflection.
The work of Walbert Perez is a new path of the plastic from the Colombian Caribbean

Arts in the Parks launched in 2006 in response to the results of community surveys and focus groups that indicated residents would like to see more free cultural events.

Please Join Gallery 101 on Thursday, Dec. 30, 2010 as we showcase the great talents of five amazing artists.
JAMA (Jose Andres Matos)
Francis Acea
Fernando Garcia
R. Louisell
Alex Yanes
JAMA-JAMA (José Andrés Matos) was born on August 26,1974 in Guines, Province of Havana, Cuba. He started painting at an early age and has not stopped living for his art ever since. He left Cuba in 2002 for Costa Rica and presently resides in Miami, Florida with his wife and daughter.
ALEX YANES was born in Miami, July 20th 1977. His art is characterized by romanticism, sublime color, content and the deliberate precision of form and line. It is the duality between the conceptual and the graphical that makes his art both inspiring and accessible. Yanes’ art serves as a metaphor for the conflict between reason and imagination and the divided nature of the human spirit.
Come out and enjoy…. Refreshments served.

By the age of 18 he was a member of Cuba’s acclaimed dance band, NG La Banda. In 1992 he moved to Brazil where he lived for seven years, absorbing the country’s musical and spiritual wealth and playing with great artists such as Raul de Souza, Arismar do Espirito Santo and others. With Bocato he recorded two albums and participated in the Montreux Jazz Festival. While in Brazil, Felipe founded his own quartet, Tumbao, and taught at the University of Free Music in Sao Paolo.
In 1999 Lamoglia relocated to the U.S. where he immediately began performing with the late Celia Cruz. In 2001 he began playing with Grammy winner Arturo Sandoval, performing all over the world and recording on Trumpet Evolution, as well as two DVD releases: Live at the Blue Note NYC and Live at the Ann Arbor Summer Festival. In 2004 he joined Grammy winner Gonzalo Rubalcaba, recording on his Grammy-nominated album, Paseo (Blue Note).
In 2006 Lamoglia arranged and played on Ignacio Berroa’s debut album Codes, also released on Blue Note and nominated for a Grammy. In 2007 Felipe contributed as arranger, performer, and composer for Arturo Sandoval’s Grammy-winning album, Rumba Palace.
Throughout the years he has continued to develop his solo work and in 2007 released his first solo CD, Dimensions, recorded in Brazil. This album incorporated Felipe’s Afro-Cuban roots with a blend of Brazilian music and straight-ahead jazz. He is currently promoting his quintet, Afro-Cuban Beats.
Felipe has shared the stage with musical giants such as Herbie Hancock, Michael Brecker, Wynton Marsalis, Eldar, Dafnis Prieto, Ignacio Berroa and many others, participating in Major Jazz Festivals in the U.S. and abroad including JVC, Playboy, Newport, Henieken Jazz, Red Sea and in venues such as Blue Note, Iridium, Jazz Standard, Yoshi’s, Dizzy’s Club Coca Cola and many more.

Guitarist Rolando Grooscors is a rare find on today’s jazz scene: a unique voice that strengthens and expands the jazz idiom with sensitivity, clarity, and uncompromising integrity. Rolando’s warm, expressive tones and impeccable phrasing have been delighting audiences wherever he goes.
A two-time Latin Grammy nominee, Rolando Grooscors was born in Caracas, Venezuela. His love for Brazilian music motivated him to start different projects where Brazilian music was infused with
Latin and Jazz influences. Here he
began to develop a Jazz/Fusion
style. The experience greatly influenced Rolando’s musical development.
Leading his own band, Rolando has
recently released his debut CD, “THANKFULâ€. The band is a sextet including Piano/keyboards, Bass, Sax/wind controller, drums and percussion.
His compositions have been called
“masterful†and with the attention
already received, Rolando is pushing
himself to have his voice defined in
music, both as a sideman and as a
band leader.
Rolando’s music is best described in
renowned singer and pianist Darryl
Tookes’ own words:
“Rolando’s guitar playing is on another level, Yet on this higher plane, Rolando’s soulful, creative, twelve-tone improvisatory style is always completely accessible and joyous. Rolando displays a wide variety of styles and concepts with his harmonic and melodic imagery
capturing the essence of musical
freedom, spirit and sensuality.†–: Darryl Tookes

Warning: This Parade Contains Nuts!
Join King Mango and his merry band of MangoHeads at the ultimate Tea party rally on Sunday, December 26th. Our theme this year is Restoring Humor.
At 2 pm, be there to witness the ceremonial banana dropping and the official start of the satirical parade to disperse gallons of oily jokes, slick skits and plumes of environmentally-challenged laughter into the pristine streets of downtown Coconut Grove. There’s no containment dome, top hat, or blow-out preventers for this all-day gusher of GLEE that is guaranteed to last a long, long time.
For this year’s Grand Marshal nothing but A Pair of Nuts would do to restore humor. The Nuts are the comedy sketch duo, Yamil Piedra and Johnny Trabanco. Their position on powder wigs and their wacky You-Tube videos wowed the selection committee with their commitment to Put the NUT back in CocoNUT Grove.
So bring your lawn chair and get ready to laugh because as creative as we are, we can’t possibly make this stuff up. Ripped from the headlines:
Get a pardon by Charlie Crist!
Look out for Wikileaks!
Glee club yourself with the Vuvuzelas Marching Band!
Ask for today’s special at the BP Café: Blackened Everything & Tuna Tar Tarred!
Fly with Christine O’Donnell on her I’m-not-a-Witch Tour!
Get that loving feeling from a TSA agent!
Receive a blessed condom from the Pope!
Become a member of Rick Scott’s cabinet!
Get bitten by bed bugs!
Touch this junk and not get arrested!
See what else the Chilean miners can crawl out of!
And if that wasn’t enough to want to grab a beer and bolt out an airplane’s emergency slide, watch out for Snooki, Lindsey Lohan, Brett Farve, Home Foreclosures, Illegal Aliens, and Lady Gaga. All this and Shakespeare ala Mango Strut performed by New Theatre!
Expect to see the usual Strut suspects: The Hare Krishnas, the Marching Freds, Running of the Bull Sh*tters, Coconut Grove Juggling Exchange, Progressive Marching Funeral Band, Little Mr. & Miss. Mangoes, former Miss Mangoes and dethroned Miss Mangoes. King Mango Music Massacre will included bands: Iko-Iko, Tall Boys Soul Band and the Robby Hunter Band
The Pre-Parade activities begin at 1:30 pm at the corner of Commodore Plaza and Main Highway with Grand Master C, Buzz Fleischman, from WLRN’s ‘South Florida Arts Beat’ Radio Buzz hosting the Little Mr. & Miss. Mango Pageant (for kids 4-10). This highly competitive pageant will surely make the new weeper of the House of Representative, Rep. John Boehner, cry. Early polling shows everyone is expected to win. The winners will ride the first float of the Strut.
All parade-goers should arrive early this year to go through TSA checkpoints. Avoid pink thongs, gerbils and stocking stuffers to avoid delay and if asked, don’t tell. Grope discounts are available.
Parade begins at 2 pm at the corner of Commodore Plaza and Main Highway. The parade turns left onto Main Highway, turns left onto Grand Avenue at CocoWalk and back to Commodore Plaza. If we are having too much fun, we will go around again until we all fall down. After the Parade, the CommodorePlaza and Fuller Street will remain closed and the King Mango Music Massacre begins. All the bands in the parade will continue playing until the festivities end at 6 pm.
All this entertainment is free (cheaper than a therapist) and open to the public. There is plenty of parking along or near the parade route at Mayfair, CocoWalk, Coconut Grove Playhouse parking lot on Main Highway and Charles Avenue, St. Stephens Episcopal Church, Coconut Grove Elementary School, City garage at Oak Avenue and Mary Street, and the City garage next to the Sonesta Hotel. Click here for map for parking.
If you don’t want to drive (who can blame you,) take the Metrorail to the Coconut Grove Station. There will be shuttle buses (the Coconut Grove Circulator) picking up eager parade-goers every 15 minutes at the station and dropping off 1 block from the parade route.
For more information, check our website www.kingmangostrut.org or call the Mango Hotline at 305-401-1171.
Putting the NUT in CocoNUT Grove since 1982.

Treehouse Nightclub Opens In Miami Beach

323 23rd Street in South Beach
To RSVP for TREEHOUSE’s soft opening reception, please email treehouse@taraink.com.
Jeremy Waks creates naturally lush childhood sanctuary to play backdrop to one’s midnight escapades
TREEHOUSE, a new Miami Beach nightclub, will celebrate its debut with a soft opening reception on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, 9 PM to midnight, featuring music by DJ Troy Kurtz, Damaged Goods and Canadian DJ duo Ess & Emm. The warm and welcoming indoor/outdoor space will be an adult playground-of-sorts designed and owned by seasoned nightlife purveyor Jeremy Waks. Positioned at 323 23rd Street in South Beach, TREEHOUSE is smartly located among a bevy of hotels and clubs nearby such as The W, Gansevoort Miami Beach, and the Setai Hotel.
The 8,000-square-foot venue boasts three different rooms, each laying ground to a new environment. Upon entering TREEHOUSE, guests will find themselves in a small, intimate boîte featuring plush leather banquettes and ribbons of teak wood lining the walls. The main room lies just beyond and showcases inventive lighting and sound for a high-energy atmosphere. The cool outdoor area serves as the nightclub’s third room, where guests can lounge and enjoy views of night sky in a Wynwood Art District-inspired setting.
TREEHOUSE is the newest venture by 26-year old Waks, the entrepreneur that previously launched Miami Beach-based Heathrow Lounge. “I always had a clear vision of a space that would evoke all the childhood charm of a tree house, but filtered through a mature taste-level, while presenting the gritty undertones of Miami’s art enclaves,†says Waks. “TREEHOUSE is a sophisticated version of a fantastical getaway and serves as a local hideout to those looking for nightlife with a downtown sensibility in South Beach.â€
Waks seeks to provide an ideal nightlife destination for savvy club-goers via TREEHOUSE’s focus on specialty drinks and its lineup of high-caliber entertainment and productions. He will layer the club’s content and formatting with a variety of cultural heavy-hitters, in addition to a music lineup from Miami-cult icon the Overthrow, which will range from open-format, to nu-wave dance and electro. “TREEHOUSE is anchored to a large mesh of Miami’s art and nightlife roots; essentially, this is locals building a TREEHOUSE, for locals,†says Waks with conviction.
TREEHOUSE is an 8,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor lounge-nightclub, a sophisticated environment reminiscent of a childhood getaway. TREEHOUSE is open Friday and Saturday from 10 PM to 4 AM.
Valet and self parking are available. For more information, please call 305.674.4478 or visit www.treehousemiami.com.

The Frost Art Museum presents Five New Spring Exhibitions
Target Wednesday After Hours
January 26, 2011 at 6 p.m.
10975 SW 17th St.
http://thefrost.fiu.edu
The Patricia & Phillip Frost Art Museum presents five new exhibitions opening during Target Wednesday After Hours on January 26, 2011 at 6 p.m. Coming on view in the museum’s grand galleries is Gran Torino: Italian Contemporary Art which is immediately recognizable by North American associations with the car produced by Ford in the 1970’s or the Hollywood film of the same name. Torino (Turin) refers to one of Italy’s most vibrant cities and one of the most dynamic centers of contemporary art in Europe. GRAN TORINO: Italian Contemporary Art, curated by Paolo Facelli will present the work of a selected group of Torino artists that are representative of not only the local, but also of the Italian perspective, with their own national characteristics in an open and stimulating debate with the international scene. GRAN TORINO: Italian Contemporary Art is an engaging cultural initiative and introduces significant trends and movements of new Italian art to the North American public.
Also coming on view is My Eyes Have Seen by Robert Farber. This exhibition is an impressionistic journey of photographic imagery that evokes timeless emotion and takes the viewer into aesthetic realms. In 1995 Farber received the ASP International Award, given by the Professional Photographers of America, and The American Society of Photographers. This award has been given to those who have made a significant contribution to the science and art of photography. Farber’s photographs have been published in virtually every form. His work has been exhibited in Japan, Europe, as well as the United States, and he has lectured at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, Universities, and professional groups in the United States, as well as Japan, Australia, and Europe.
The Tale of the Unknown Island by Esther Villalobos and Mar Solis is the next exhibition opening January 26 where Spanish artists Esther Villalobos and Mar SolÃs interpret, through photography and sculpture, “a journey into the unknown” inspired by José Saramago’s book The Tale of the Unknown Island. In the book, a protagonist is set to look for an unknown island that nobody believes exists, only to find “meaning” much closer than he ever thought. In the exhibition the artists seek to engage in Saramago’s literary symbolism, visually exploring the themes of memory and dreams, roots and growth, death and notions of renewal, from the perspectives of their own work.
As of 24-03-07, Maria Brito’s mixed-media installation- a small shrine dedicated to a mysterious figure will take over an entire gallery at The Frost Art Museum. The next installment in the Wolfsonian-FIU Teaching Gallery at The Frost Art Museum is Women in Motion: Fitness, Sport, and the Female Figure which asks- Can women achieve fitness and athletic prowess while conforming to the social norms of femininity? This exhibition explores the images of physically active women produced by governments, fitness advocates, advertisers, and artists in Europe and the United States during the first half of the twentieth century. Drawn from the collection of The Wolfsonian-FIU, it includes a variety of media, from posters and magazines to decorative and fine art.The exhibition is co-curated by Laurie Shrage, professor of Philosophy and director of Women’s Studies, and Dionne Stephens, assistant professor of Psychology, and African and African Diaspora Studies. It is made possible with financial support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
The Frost Art Museum at Florida International University is located on the Modesto A. Maidique Campus.

The Mayfair Hotel Recruited Consultant Jonathan Eismann For Launch of New Restaurant, Spartico, A Trattoria bringing gourmet pizza and Italian fare at casual pricing to Coconut Grove
Prices range from $4.95 to $14.95 for lunch, and from $5.95 to $26.95 for dinner items.
Spartico at The Mayfair Hotel
3000 Florida Ave. in Coconut Grove.
For reservations or pick up call: 305-779-5100.
First Obadon Hotels got Daniel Boulud into Brazilian Court Hotel & Beach Club. Then Michelle Bernstein was asked to create magic at The Omphoy Ocean Resort. Now The Mayfair Hotel & Spa in Coconut Grove has stepped up with Spartico, a casual Roman pizza centric trattoria, recruiting culinary consultant Jonathan Eismann, of the longest running and most highly acclaimed chefs in Miami, for his culinary expertise to help develop the concept and menu.
Eismann, already noted by the The New York Times as creating Miami’s favorite pizza, now develops an evolved style of pizza for Spartico using the highest quality products, artisnal flours and refined recipes to create a final product with great flavors and reasonable prices.
As would be expected, Spartico’s menu features a range of recognizable entrees, enhanced with gourmet sensibilities. The menu consists of classic Italian-style faire with unique ingredients producing memorable sandwiches, salads, appetizers and decadent desserts presented, along with substantial children’s offerings.
Commanding the menu, however, will be dozens of Roman-style pizzas.
Cooked in an Ambrogi wood-burning oven from Milan, which also faces out street-side for passers-by to get a quick 12 inch pie, or just get a whiff of the aromatic crust bubbling in the oven, these pies will be made daily by hand, using a blend of various flours and dough produced by seasonally harvested wheat. Toppings include a list of original selections, including chorizo, tomino cheese, speck, ripe figs and honey, and proscuitto di Parma.
Diners are surrounded by the sounds of crackling fire, an unpretentious modern Italian design, and scents of inspired Roman cuisine being prepared to order at Spartico, slated to open on December 18th.
A South Florida classic, The Mayfair Hotel & Spa has stood out as the ultimate romantic, glamorous, art-infused enclave in Miami since 1984. Set within the stylish neighborhood of Coconut Grove, now home to LeBron James, the hotel showcases eclectic Art Deco/Nouveau and GaudÃ-inspired design set in an unpretentious ambience. Stained glass, mosaic tile and lavish furnishings with open-air, foliage-filled atriums are wrapped by 179 suites featuring hand-carved mahogany doors and Japanese-style hot tub on private, bougainvillea- covered terraces. Winner of the AAA Four Diamond Award, the hotel also features Jurlique Spa and rooftop swimming pool. www.mayfairhotelandspa.com

Talk show host and Emmy award winner Ellen Degeneres will turn 53 years old on January 26th. Long time Ellen Degeneres fan, local arts promoter, and professional poet Renda Writer has put together an event to celebrate her birthday with all of her local fans and members of the arts community that is expected to draw a large significant crowd.
The Ellen Art Show will take place on Saturday, January 22nd, 2011, from 7pm until 2am at GAB Studio in Miami’s Wynwood Arts District (105 NW 23rd St., Miami, FL, 33127, GABstudio.com). Admission is free and open to the public, and all ages are welcome. The event’s live entertainment schedule will include a feature performance by Renda Writer, complete with poetry, improv crowd work, anecdotal storytelling, and motivational speaking as well as a special performance of his signature poem, “Half Hearted.†Local singer/songwriters Alex Nelson (AlexNelsonMusic.com) and Mike Mineo (MikeMineo.com) will also be performing. Music will be provided by DJ Brimstone (Brimstone127.com). Parking is free and available on the streets surrounding the gallery.
28 participating artists (listed below) will each create a custom portrait of Ellen Degeneres, which will hang at GAB Studio starting on January 8th (for ArtWalk) and will stay on exhibit until January 22nd, as part of a 2-week silent auction. All portraits will be sold to the highest bidders at midnight on the night of the event. The money raised from the auction will be used to buy a plane ticket, and Renda Writer will fly to Los Angeles the next day to give one selected portrait to Ellen Degeneres as a birthday present. Three of the artists will be painting their Ellen portraits live at the event. Renda will also be selling special advance copies of his second poetry/music CD, “Workaholic,†for $5, to help with the costs of lodging and food while in LA. The CD features over 20 collaborations with local rappers, singers, and producers, and includes a special music version of “Half Hearted,†with renowned classical guitarist, Nicholas Ciraldo.

Since 2007, Renda Writer has been in passionate pursuit of his big professional goal and personal dream to one day perform his signature poem, “Half Hearted,†on The Ellen Degeneres Show. He has done a variety of things over the years to get the attention of the show’s producers, including getting lots of print publicity, submitting YouTube videos, emails, hand written letters, and creating a printed petition, with of 1,000 signatures from people who support Renda’s dream, as well as an online petition with almost 900 signatures, which can be seen and signed at RendaWriter.com. Because of the romantic subject matter of the poem, (a metaphor that compares the swans in New York’s Central Park to the search for love and shared romance) ideally Renda would like to be able to perform it on Ellen’s Valentine’s Day episode, which will be only 3 weeks away from when he goes to Los Angeles to give Ellen her portrait. His hope is that this event, the gift, and the effort made to bring it to Ellen, will solidify his chance for a Valentine’s Day performance.
Those interested in bidding on a portrait can do so at the event, or at the studio any time between January 8th and January 22nd. Bidding starts at $20. Contact Bridges Aderhold to confirm hours: (305) 200-5349, baderhold@gmail.com.

Jewview: Next@19th Partners With Miami Jewish Film Festival To Present Compelling Series Of Screenings About Basketball, Women Of The Wall, And Klezmer Music
Schtickball, Discussion Groups and Klezmer Jam with Frank London Kick-Off Downtown Jewish Cultural Center’s Mini-Series
New Downtown Miami Jewish cultural center Next@19th partners with The CAJE Miami Jewish Film Festival to present JewView –a new three-part mini-series aimed at tying Jewish films into community-building and dialogue.
Sunday, January 9, 2011 at 1:00 p.m.
Film Screening: First Basket, a Jewish basketball documentary screening at Next@19th (137 NE 19th Street, Downtown Miami)
Engaging Audiences: Pick-up game of Schtickball in Next@19th Parking Lot
Kicking of Next@19th’s dynamic JewView mini-series is First Basket, a documentary that follows Jewish basketball experiences from ash cans placed on the stoops of brownstones to the bright lights of Madison Square Garden.
On November 1, 1946, in the opening game of the fledgling Basketball Association of America (BAA), Ossie Schectman scored the first basket for the New York Knickerbockers against the Toronto Huskies, and by 1949, the BAA becomes the National Basketball Association (NBA), making Schectman’s shot the first basket in the NBA. Several of the BAA and NBA teams evolved out of the semi-pro teams, settlement houses, playgrounds, schoolyard and community center leagues, and college teams that sprung from the Jewish inner-city neighborhoods of the early 20th century. While the era of Jewish professional basketball players has passed, the story of these sports pioneers illustrates how the American 20th Century was shaped by the experiences of many immigrant groups.
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 at 7:00 p.m.
Film Screening: Praying In Her Own Voice at Next@19th
Engaging Audiences: New Sanhedrin discussion about “Women of the Wall†at Next@19th

The film is an outcry protesting religious coercion and the violent silencing of women, raising questions about the battle of the sexes within the religious Jewish world. In honor of a visit from Anat Hoffman of Women of the Wall, Next@19th presents Praying In Her Own Voice on Wednesday, January 12 at 7:00 p.m. followed by a “New Sanhedrin†discussion relating to the topic. Anat Hoffman will be speaking at a presentation of the National Council of Jewish Women at Temple Israel on Tuesday, January 18 at 7:00 p.m.

A Klezmer Jam with special guest Frank London of The Klezmatics will follow the 6:00 p.m. show at Next@19th’s downtown digs with director Erik Greenberg Anjou. Time Out, New York magazine announced, “The Klezmatics aren’t just the best band in the klezmer vanguard; on a good night, they rank among the greatest bands on the planet.†From New York’s Lower East Side to Krakow, Poland, The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground shows why.

Tasting of Cha Cha Rooster at Lords of South Beach on Wednesday, December 22, 2010.  The service and food was amazing, I started off with the Nash salad and the goat cheese and dressing was so awesome, I highly recommend this salad.  For my main course I had the Short Ribs and they were so tender they melted in my mouth, so GOOD.  For desert I had the Midnight Mouse,  it was not what I expected, it was better. I will be going back to try more on their menu.  I love the decor and everything about Lords of South Beach.

The Dog Beach of Hollywood, FL
Between Pershing and Custer Streets on the Ocean
www.dboh.org
The emotions I felt when I took my little angel to the dog beach in Hollywood, FLÂ for the first time were overwhelming. Boundi and the other dogs ran, swam, played fetch, chased each other, and generally had the time of their lives, all free from leash restraint.
The friendly dogs and people who shared the experience with us on this fall day smiled and laughed as we talked about our pets and threw tennis balls deep into the Atlantic. Everyone cleaned up after their pet(s) and our dog even cleaned up after some ungrateful beach goer, who had littered a plastic bag in the ocean. Ever the loyal retriever, Boundi brought the bag to our feet and we properly disposed of it.
I like very much that they have a public official or park officer of some kind there on the sand to ensure everyone’s safety, though he wasn’t utilized during my visit.
For Miami Dade dog lovers who have visited the “dog beach” on Key Biscayne: DON’T! Don’t ever go there again. I know we won’t. Even though it’s a bit of a drive to the Hollywood beach, the experience is more than worth it and the beach doesn’t even compare to the dirty area on the causeway where they allow dogs in Miami.
Bottom Line: This gorgeous beach is amazing just for human recreation, and allowing furry friends to share in the fun takes it to another fantastic level!

Carl Juste and Andre Chung’s “Invictus: Haiti Unconquered†at the ACND Gallery of Art
Closing Event Marks The One-Year Anniversary of the 2010 Haiti Earthquake
Exhibit Closing: Wednesday, January 12, 2011
Docent tours begin 9:30 a.m. and continue throughout the day until 2:30 p.m.
A Memorial Prayer Service will be held at 11:00 a.m.
Exactly one year after the Haitian earthquake, Wednesday, January 12, 2010 will mean a solemn day of personal reflection for the students, faculty, and alumni of Archbishop Curley Notre Dame. Their day will begin with prayers of remembrance for families and friends who perished and an extended hand of support for the displaced students who have found a new home at ACND. The community and media are welcome to participate in the day’s events and free docent led tours of Carl Juste’s and Andre Chung’s exhibit “Invictus: Haiti Unconquered†will be offered throughout the day beginning at 9:30 a.m.
Award-winning photojournalists of the Iris PhotoCollective, Juste (ACND alumnus) and Chung exhibit photographs from their latest project, “Invictus: Haiti Unconquered.†This series of images document the tragic unfolding of events following the devastating 2010 earthquake. Inspired by William Ernest Henley’s iconic poem “Invictus,†the last image presented titled “Leg Up†shows a man’s prosthetic leg at the foreground of the image as if tossed into the hands of the viewer while a leg-less man proudly shows off his handstand skills. An arid field of dead grass surrounds him. The country’s natural beauty of gray mountains and shadowy clouds, as seen in the image’s background, is very distant and seems blocked-off and separated by a row of portable outhouses, a concrete fence, and power lines. The focal point, however, is this man who finds happiness and liberation in a temporary moment. “Leg Up†signifies the poetry’s last stanza: “It matters not how strait the gate; How charged with punishments the scroll; I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.â€
Formed in 1998, the Iris PhotoCollective is a project spearheaded by four like-minded photographers: Carl Juste, Andre Chung, Pablo Martinez Monsivais, and Clarence Williams. As artists of color themselves, they are each concerned with the way their communities are depicted in the media. Through a shared mission to explore and document the relationships of people of color to the world, their photographic projects create a record that is free of the influence of the dominant culture, while maintaining the integrity and principles of photojournalism. Their visual stories document their work from around the world.
“Invictus: Haiti Unconquered†is the essence of visual poetry and a clear reminder of the importance of photojournalism and its power to draw people’s attention to the world. During an interview with Dick Gordon of North Carolina Public Radio in February 2010, Juste, still recovering from the dust and trauma associated with his recent departure from Haiti, manages to find deliverance for the country he has only come to know first-hand through his work. “During the earthquake the rich were impacted, the poor were impacted. No one was segregated and for the first time at least that I can remember, the plight of the Haitian became the plight of the world.†Juste concludes, “And maybe out of all of this pain and all this suffering, there is a rebirth, but not only a rebirth of a nation, of an island nation, but of ourselves.â€

Three American Jazz Icons!
Keith Jarrett, arguably the greatest jazz pianist on the planet
legendary bassist Gary Peacock
and drummer extraordinaire Jack Dejohnette
Keith Jarrett, multi-platinum-selling artist and Downbeat Lifetime Achievement Award winner, moves effortlessly as a virtuoso pianist between classical and jazz. Jarrett came onto the scene in the 1960s with jazz great Art Blakey and then with the iconic Miles Davis. He became a star in his own right with his historic solo performances and with his all-star jazz trio. This evening’s performance will feature the legendary Keith Jarrett Trio, with bassist Gary Peacock and drummer extraordinaire, Jack DeJohnette.
Now celebrating its Fifth Anniversary Season, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County and Larry Rosen proudly announce a rare performance of one of the world’s most illustrious jazz trios for the next installation of Jazz Roots – A Larry Rosen Jazz Series: An Evening With Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock And Jack Dejohnette. World-renowned piano virtuoso and Grammy Award nominee Keith Jarrett — a multi-platinum-selling artist and Downbeat Lifetime Achievement Award winner — and his longtime collaborators, legendary bassist Gary Peacock and drummer Jack DeJohnette, will perform on January 21, 2011 at 8 p.m. in the John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall. Recognized as one of the premier working bands in jazz for more than 25 years, this all-star trio has garnered universal acclaim through its celebrated recordings and international tours. The trio’s improvised interplay on jazz standards, original tunes, and free playing has been described as “jazz at its finest†(Los Angeles Times).
“It is with great honor and excitement that we offer our South Florida community and faithful Jazz Roots concert-goers this special opportunity to hear three great American jazz masters – Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette — perform on our Knight Concert Hall stage,†said M. John Richard, president and CEO of the Adrienne Arsht Center. “This stellar ensemble, known for its almost telepathic interplay and stunningly unique interpretation of jazz standards, is sure to present a mesmerizing evening of unforgettable sonic adventures!â€
Keith Jarrett-Gary Peacock-Jack Dejohnette Trio
Voted “Best Acoustic Jazz Group†in Downbeat Critic’s Poll (2008) and Jazz Times Reader’s Poll (2009) Keith Jarrett, Gary Peacock, and Jack DeJohnette formed their permanent trio in 1983, when Jarrett invited the other two musicians to join him in New York for a recording session dedicated to playing jazz standards. Those original sessions produced the trio’s first three ECM Records releases, Standards Vol. 1 and 2, and Changes, which were re-released as a special 3-CD box set in 2008 in celebration of the trio’s 25th Anniversary. For the past two decades, numerous “live†concert recordings have followed on ECM, each recorded in a different international city. The legendary trio has been nominated for many international awards, including several Grammy nominations, plus dozens of “Record of the Year†and Critics Prize Awards from U.S., European, and Japanese music press.
Keith Jarrett came onto the scene in the 1960s with jazz great Art Blakey and then with the iconic Miles Davis, later becoming a star in his own right with his historic solo performances as well as with his jazz trio, including Peacock and DeJohnette. He is regarded one of the most creative and uncompromising musicians of our times — universally acclaimed as an improviser of unsurpassed genius; a master of jazz piano; a classical pianist of great depth, and as a composer. Among the pianist’s awards and distinctions include eight Grammy nominations, several French Grand Prix du Disque Awards, and in December 2008, he was inducted into the Downbeat Hall of Fame.
Gary Peacock has served as an inspiration for several generations of jazz bass players, not content with the traditional bassist’s role of simple time-keeping and harmonic accompaniment. His ability to bring melodic and rhythmic freedom into any musical setting has been his trademark for 45 years in jazz. Throughout his career, Peacock has played with jazz greats Bud Shank, Bill Evans, Miles Davis, and Sonny Rollins, to name a few. Other major collaborations besides the trio with Jarrett and DeJohnette, have included dates and recordings with pianists Marc Copland, Paul Bley, and Marilyn Crispell, in either duo settings or in trio with drummers Paul Motian and Bill Stewart.
Jack DeJohnette is one of the finest drummers in jazz. His approach to the drums is that of a complete musician, exploring the varied colors and timbres of his varied percussion instruments. Early in his career, he joined the Charles Lloyd Quartet alongside the young Keith Jarrett, and later played with many of the greatest improvisers in jazz, notably Bill Evans, John Coltrane, and Thelonius Monk, before joining Miles Davis to record the quintessential jazz/rock fusion album, Bitches Brew. In addition to his work with the Jarrett-Peacock-DeJohnette Trio, his current touring projects include Trio Beyond with guitarist John Scofield and organist Larry Goldings and a new trio with pianist Danilo Perez and bassist John Patitucci.
Jazz Roots also features an in-depth educational partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools which will bring more than 900 music students to the Center for a unique behind-the-scenes experience, including a pre-concert sound check and a Q&A session with featured artists followed by a workshop with a local jazz expert that will highlight the music, the artistic process and the practical skills needed for a career in the arts. In addition, the Center has developed a curriculum which will be distributed to 800 music, English and social studies teachers throughout the MDCPS school system, potentially serving 24,000 children.

Economically Disadvantaged Haitian-American Children to Receive Holiday Cheer at the Fourth Annual Breakfast With Santa
December 19, 11:00AM – 2:00PM
J.W. Marriott Hotel
1109 Brickell Ave. Miami, FL
Dedicated Haitian-American Business Leaders, J.W. Marriott, and Loyal Supporters Sponsor the Event for More than 300 Children
“Breakfast With Santa,†an annual Holiday event, much-anticipated by underprivileged Haitian-American children, is scheduled for Sunday, December 19 from 11:00AM – 2:00PM, at the J.W. Marriott Hotel, 1109 Brickell Ave. Miami, FL. Children (ages 5 to 12) from Little Haiti and other areas with a concentration of Haitian immigrants, will be treated to a delectable brunch, receive new toys, and take home cherished photos with Santa and his elves.
Haitian American professionals, business owners, and sponsors volunteer hundreds of hours of their time and provide financial resources to assist some of Miami-Dade County’s most disadvantaged children, whose plight has been worsened by the nation’s economic downturn.
According to the U.S. Census (2000), the poverty rate in Little Haiti is over 44%, more than three times the average rate of the Miami Fort Lauderdale Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) (14%). The average income in Little Haiti is $15,277. With Florida having one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, these families are experiencing especially acute hardship. Because of this, the 2010 BWS event will be is particularly special and necessary.
“Breakfast with Santa†is a labor of love. “Everyone involved truly believes that this year is even more poignant and essential due to the number of Haitian families who have lost their homes, jobs, and security, as well as for the many who have also lost loved ones in the January earthquake,†said Judith Joseph, one of the chairpersons and founders of the event. “We want to make sure that these children and families know that we are thinking of them and that we care.†Learn more at www.BreakfastWithSantaSF.org.
Kimberly Bacardi’s Good Karma Group has been instrumental in collecting thousands of toys at various events and through personal outreach to individuals and companies throughout South Florida as part of the Breakfast With Santa efforts. In addition to collecting toys for Miami’s underprivileged Haitian children, GKG, which has actors Vincent De Paul and George Lopez as prominent members and has deep roots in the charitable community, will also visit Haiti very soon to distribute new toys to that nation’s children, a blessing many of them would not otherwise receive. Learn more at Facebook.

The South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will be giving toys to the homeless children who currently reside at the Miami Rescue Mission’s Center for Women and Children.
In addition to toys being passed out, local McDonald’s owner Yoyi Rodriguez will be on hand to pass out Happy Meals with toys for the children as well.
The Miami Rescue Mission provides food, shelter, clothing, education, job training, spiritual directions and long-term rehabilitation to the homeless population of South Florida.
“The ongoing relationship between the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and the Miami Rescue Mission is something that we cherish. It is wonderful to see a donation like this the week of Christmas so that we may be able to provide smiles for those children in our community who need it the most,†said Melissa Singh, Community Development Associate of the Miami Rescue Mission.
Since 1922 the Miami Rescue Mission (a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization) Centers have served the homeless and needy men, women, and children of Miami.

The mission also has at-risk after-school and summer day camp youth programs. The Miami Rescue Mission started reaching out to the homeless in Broward County in 1992 and in 1997 the Broward Outreach Center in Hollywood was opened.

Please bear with me while I get very excited. Bar 721 makes me unreasonably ecstatic. It is the best bar in Miami Beach, hands down. My enamorment with this establishment is fueled by several crucial factors I shall outline here.
Smoke free? Check!
Amazing happy hour? Check!
Friendly staff and clientele? Check!
Appealing, full liquor cocktail menu with exotic drinks? Check!
Comfortable couches? Clean venue? Nice Decor? Check, Check, Check!
WELCOMES MY DOG!?!?!?!? CHECK!!!!!
So while I calm myself down I’ll also point out that while this is a gay friendly establishment, there has been a mixed crowd every time I’ve visited. It’s large enough to feel spacious but small enough to be manageable and cozy. Music differs from night to night but at times they bring in DJs in the later evening hours. TVs are there and usually on if you would like to watch sports, but no food is served. Friendly staff usually allows you to bring in to-go stuff from local eateries, though.
721 is in the space that used to be the “Laundry Bar.” Please do not let this scare you. There is not a hint of this venue’s former self present any more. Everything has been gutted and it doesn’t resemble the old dive at all. Cheers!
This is a shot of some friends and me celebrating Halloween 2010 at Bar 721, our favorite neighborhood hangout.
