2020 HAVANA JAZZ FESTIVAL for EXIT ZERO JAZZ FEST GROUP 2020 HAVANA JAZZ FESTIVAL For EXIT ZERO JAZZ FEST GROUP The 35 th annual Havana Jazz Festival will be held from January 14 to 20, 2020 , with events occurring mostly in the evenings. Opening ceremonies will occur in the evening of January 15 th . A detailed schedule of events has not yet been published, but will be forthcoming. More than 125 world renowned artists and groups from the United States, Europe, Cuba and other Latin American countries performed at various established music venues throughout Havana in 2019 , one of the most compelling small cities in Latin America. Favorites included: Preservation Hall Jazz Band Omara Portundo Harold Lopez-Nussa Quartet ( playing the 2019 Fall Exit Zero Jazz Festival ) Pedrito Martinez ( played Exit Zero Jazz Festival three times, returning in 2020) Arturo O’Farrill (played 2018 Exit Zero Jazz Festival ) Dayme Arocena Ernan Lopez-Nussa Cimafunk Horacio Hernandez Dafnis Prieto Los Van Van Dennis Chambers & David Sancious Our program will begin with arrival in Havana on January 14 th , and will include a city tour beginning on the morning of January 15 th . This experience will include a motor tour of some of Havana’s most appealing districts, including the famous seaside drive, the Malecon , as well as the municipalities of Playa, Miramar, and Vedado , culminating in the culturally rich Habana Vieja (Old Havana). On our first full day in Havana, we will enjoy a city tour of various points of interest, including a walking tour of Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most unique destinations in the Caribbean. Havana is loaded with interesting historic sites, museums, art galleries, and now several excellent restaurants. Old Havana is among the most well preserved and dynamic colonial cities in the New World. This district of the city is undergoing rapid change, which fortunately includes ambitious historic restoration combined with modern improvement of what are in many examples UNESCO World Heritage Site restored and protected buildings. Pedestrian walkways connect a variety of museums, art galleries, fine restaurants, renaissance hotels and guest houses, balanced with active, authentic residential neighborhoods, offering both touristic appeal and authenticity to the curious visitor. Lunch in a high quality paladare , or privately owned (as opposed to Government run) restaurant. Havana avoided rapid development and the loss of scores of historic residential and commercial properties during the last half of the 20th century. Many buildings have been recently refurbished, some dating back to the 17th century. 1 The harbor in Old Havana is presided over by Fortaleza de San Carlos de la Cabana (El Morro), which is among the largest and best preserved Spanish Colonial fortresses in the world. The Malecon, Havana’s historic and scenic ocean drive, winds several miles along the coast from the harbor in Old Havana to the mouth of the Almendares River, defining the northern limits of this once opulent and attractive city. If Cuba is to change radically in the coming years, most changes will be evident in Havana. Our hope is that future development here focuses on historic preservation and renewal, but this outcome is not guaranteed. We hope you take this opportunity to enjoy historic Havana while you can! Additional day time excursion options are available at a nominal extra cost, and may include visits to el Morro, Havana’s 16 th century fortress, among the largest and best preserved in Latin America , Ernest Hemingway’s former estate and favorite Havana haunts, various museums, galleries, and historic landmarks in and around this small but fascinating city. Your experience in Havana will include both structured and unstructured time. Your first days will include an introduction, after which you may explore on your own, or with the help of professional guides that we can help arrange for small group and individual excursions.

Performance Locations Primary performance venues include but are not limited to: Teatro Nacional (National Theater) http://www.teatronacional.cu/ Teatro Mella & Jardines del Mella Pabellon (Mella Theater & Mella Gardens Pavilion) https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=teatro+mella+%26+jardines+del+mella+pabellon&qpvt=Teatro+Mella+%26+Jar dines+del+Mella+Pabellon&FORM=VDR Casa de la Cultura, Municipio Plaza (Cultural House - Plaza Municipality *) http://enfoquecubano.blogspot.com/2016/12/casa-de-la-cultura-de-plaza.html Havana National Theatre ( TEATRO NACIONAL) Cuba’s National Theater was started in 1959, completed in 1979, and renovated in 2012. The building’s ultimate design and completion occurred at a time when austere soviet influenced design typified the last building spree of that era. The history and culture of the city is reflected by the decor inside the building, where many works by Cuban artists can be found on many of the walls. The National Theatre is made up of two separate auditoriums, called the Sala Covarrubias and the Sala Avellaneda. Combined, the two theatres can hold just under 2,400 people, about half the capacity of Havana’s largest artistic venue, Karl Marx Theater (capacity 5,000 people). Teatro Mella Refurbished in 2000, this 1,500-seat theatre has a Gaudi-esque feel–a meringue-shaped balcony wraps around the auditorium. It’s used for dance, folklore (home to the Conjunto Folklórico Nacional de Cuba), circus and variety shows, and for seasons for comedy and dance. Casas de Culturas – Houses of Culture – are community venues for music and the arts. In Havana, most municipalities have a casa de cultura. These venues are commonly simple and Spartan in terms of décor and creature comforts. Once we see a detailed program guide to the festival, we will have a clearer picture of which other casas de cultura will host festival events. Municipalities in Havana that have casas de cultura include Vedado (Plaza), Habana Vieja, Centro, Miramar, and Playa. 3 Meals - All breakfasts are included, as is at least 1 lunch & 1 dinner. Premium Jazz Festival passes include an additional lunch and dinner. Otherwise, lunches range between $ 10 and $ 25 USD per person per day. Dinners range from $ 15 - $ 40 per person per day, and can range between basic to gourmet dining experiences. Meals need to be paid for in cash – in Cuban Convertible Pesos, which trade at a fee of 13 % in Cuba, and are not available outside of Cuba. The estimated costs are in U.S. dollars, after consideration of exchange fees. BASIC PROGRAM FORMAT You are expected in Havana by late afternoon on January 14 th . Direct flights to Havana are available from Newark, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Airlines offering these flights include JetBlue, Southwest, United, American, and Delta Airlines.

It challenges the notion of a “great divide” between Republic and Revolution by tracing contentious interactions between technocrats, politicians, and financial elites on one hand, and mobilized, mostly-Afro-descended tenants and shantytown residents on the other hand. The dynamics of housing inequality in Havana not only reflected existing socio- racial hierarchies but also produced and reconfigured them in ways that have not been systematically researched.

  • Greetings 1 Greetings from Freehold: How Bruce Springsteen's
    Greetings 1 Greetings from Freehold: How Bruce Springsteen’s Hometown Shaped His Life and Work David Wilson Chairman, Communication Council Monmouth University Glory Days: A Bruce Springsteen Symposium Presented Sept. 26, 2009 Greetings 2 ABSTRACT Bruce Springsteen came back to Freehold, New Jersey, the town where he was raised, to attend the Monmouth County Fair in July 1982. He played with Sonny Kenn and the Wild Ideas, a band whose leader was already a Jersey Shore-area legend. About a year later, he recorded the song "County Fair" with the E Street Band. As this anecdote shows, Freehold never really left Bruce even after he made a name for himself in Asbury Park and went on to worldwide stardom. His experiences there were reflected not only in "County Fair" but also in "My Hometown," the unreleased "In Freehold" and several other songs. He visited a number of times in the decades after his family left for California. Freehold’s relative isolation enabled Bruce to develop his own musical style, derived largely from what he heard on the radio and on records. More generally, the town’s location, history, demographics and economy shaped his life and work. “County Fair,” the first of three sections of this paper, will recount the July 1982 episode and its aftermath. “Growin’ Up,” the second, will review Bruce’s years in Freehold and examine the ways in which the town influenced him. “Goin’ Home,” the third, will highlight instances when he returned in person, in spirit and in song. Greetings 3 COUNTY FAIR Bruce Springsteen couldn’t be sitting there.

Editor: Daniel James Vol. 1, No. 13, August 31, 1963 INSIDE CUBA NEW SOVIET MILITARY COMPLEX IN PINAR DEL RIO Sources inside Cuba provide facts pointing to the existence of a new Soviet mili­ tary complex in Cuba 1s westernmost province, Pinar del Rio, which commands the Florida Straits. The main Soviet installation and the site of Soviet military GHQ is at La Gobernadora hills, near the country's principal naval base of Marie!. Five large tunnels have been constructed in the La Gobernadora area. They are 105 ft. wide -- permitting two - way traffic -- and have reinforced ceilings 30 ft . high. Two of the tunnels penetrate La Gobernadora hills laterally for a distance of 6 miles , according to a Rebel Army lieutenant who personally toured the tunnels during their construction and has defected. Guided missiles are secreted in the tunnels, according to reports from the mili­ tary arm of the Cuban resistance movement. Other sources inside Cuba say that at least one tunnel has been air-conditioned for the storage of nuclear warheads, and that another has been equipped with refrigerating equipment for storing liquid oxygen used for ballis ­ tic missiles. Electrical systems have been installed at the nearby base of Meseta de Anafe, add the latter sources, and are connected with the guided-missile stations at La Gober­ nadora and the Havana military 11 horseshoe 11 {see ''Military 1Horseshoe 1 Around Havana, 11 FCN No.

INTRODUCTION During the last twenty years, the Cuban government has faced two very significant challenges that have seriously threatened its survival. The first was caused by the demise of the Soviet Bloc in the late 1980s. As a result, the Cuban economy went into a deep depression which lasted until the late 1990s. The second, mostly of a political nature, was the result of Fidel Castro's illness, surgery, and subsequent retirement. Cuba recovered from the crisis of the 1990s by liberalizing the 1976 Con- stitution in 1992, dollarizing the economy in 1993, adopting a Foreign Invest- ment Code in 1995, promoting limited real estate development, modernizing and globalizing its economy, and normalizing to some extent its relationship * Antonio Zamora holds a B.A. in Political Science and a Certificate of Latin American Studies from the University of Florida, 1965 and a M.A.

Since necessary data in Cuba is rare or nonexistent, water- quality standards, pollutant data, and stormwater management data from the state of Florida were used, an approach justified by the highly correlated meteorological patterns between South Florida and Havana. A GIS platform was used to delineate the watershed and sub-watersheds and breakdown the watershed into urban and non-urban land uses. The UM model provides a relative assessment of which river junctions were most likely to exceed water-quality standards, and can model water-quality improvements upon application of appropriate remediation strategies. The pollutants considered were TN, TP, BOD5, fecal coliform, Pb, Cu, Zn, and Cd.

  • Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba a Trip Sponsored Utah Heritage Foundation April 3-9, 2016
    Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba A Trip Sponsored Utah Heritage Foundation April 3-9, 2016 Utah Heritage Foundation is pleased to announce its first program in celebration of the organization’s 50th Anniversary in 2016 – Architecture and Preservation in Havana, Cuba. Cuba has often been referred to as a land lost in time. 1957 Chevys still cruise the streets and Havana neighborhoods display building representing over five centuries of rich heritage. The salt, humidity, and hurricanes have no doubt taken their toll on these architectural masterpieces, but time has made it more evident that the buildings are in need of serious repair. The Cuban government has been working diligently to rehabilitate these buildings, but it’s a massive undertaking that’s been made even more difficult due to the U.S. embargo. Historic preservation has become a key strategy and innovative tool for the revitalization and sustainable economic development of distressed urban neighborhoods of Havana and rural areas in Cuba. These examples provide models for the revitalization and sustainable development of urban and rural areas in other economically challenged areas of the world, including the United States. Friday, August 14, 2015 marked the grand reopening ceremony for the U.S. embassy in Havana. Progress in normalizing relations with Cuba is quickly being made and changes to the landscape are inevitable. Although only ninety miles of ocean separate us from Havana, it sometimes feels like we are worlds apart. However, we can find commonality with the Cuban people through our desire to preserve our architectural legacy. What will the progress between Washington, D.C.
