King Of Bebop Piano Lives Again At Baha'i Center
(ContentDesk) January 4, 2006 -- If you want to know what Bud Powell is doing in the after life, the undisputed master of Bebop piano will be strutting his stuff next Tuesday, January 10th, at the Baha'i Center's John Birks Gillespie Auditorium, with sets at 8 and 10 pm.This not-to-be-missed event features three of the best jazz musicians on the planet. Leader/pianist Paul Winston has is fulfilling an early prophecy calling him "a bridge of the past, present and future of jazz". Michael Max Fleming, who was the long-time bassist of Mary Lou Williams, and drummer Kalil Madi, who played with Powell himself (no mean feat, since Powell's speed at the keyboard made many a pianist retire early from the music business) are the perfect fuel to spark Winston's keyboard wizardry.Featured are some of Powell's originals (sadly not often heard these days (and what quality stuff they are!), as well as opuses by musicians Powell played with, like Charlie "Yardbird"" Parker.

Reduce Your Stress With Stress Balls
Copyright 2005 Trevor Dumbleton
Of all the methods of stress elimination used, the most popular methods is through good old stress balls.
The simple act of squeezing something in your hand can help you ease a few of your concerns, release some built-up tension, and make you feel like you are at least doing something rather than brooding upon everything that has you down.
Fortunately, stress balls are easy to find and they can be very effective for some quick relief.
The most common stress balls are the beanbag type that can be picked up at job fairs and industry gatherings.
They are very effective, they provide enough resistance to make you feel good and they give off a relieving noise that tells you that something is happening.
Sure it is just some sort of filler grating against itself, but darn it, it's something!
And when you are stressed, the simple feeling of doing something, anything is its own reward.
