The 405 south of Century had slowed to inches per minute – not unusual – but, for a change, I was in the spot I would have chosen, right alongside the L.A. T Marathon mural. I crept past, able to study the runners’ faces as they strode, clear-eyed and confident, through graffiti up to their chins. They were unconcerned and I was happy. Los Angeles has so many murals that almost any little excursion will net you a view of some, whether you stay on the freeway or bolt desper- ately for freedom into unfamiliar neighborhoods. You can see a few murals from the freeway – the picture of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra in downtown L.A. comes to mind – but you’ll see more (and more safely) if you get off the freeway and browse the surface streets. It is a fine way to cope with traffic that has gone from bad to worse. One of my better escapes was into Highland Park from the Pasadena Freeway. Figueroa Street was a virtual art gallery.

  • The Sweet Tones of Toni Brown by Dean Budnick
    The Sweet Tones of Toni Brown by Dean Budnick This is this month's installment in an ongoing series that you may have noticed I am putting together. One of the missions of the site is not only to introduce you to the bands, review the shows and give you tour dates but we're really trying to let you see what goes on in all phases of the scene, from booking shows (read my Andrew Stahl article) to helping publicize them (yet to come) to playing jam bands on the radio (again just wait...). This month, I continue the series with a Toni Brown interview. Toni, as I am sure you well know, is the publisher of Relix magazine. She's been involved with Relix for more than eighteen years now and she has a fine perspective on what's happening with this music. However Toni also brings a bit more to the table as she is currently gigging with her Toni Brown Band and is currently recording a follow-up to her debut disc (in which she enlisted the very fine David Nelson Band to join her in the studio). Here are Toni's thoughts on her own music, the jam band scene and a bit on running Relix... D- Let's start with the newest phase of your career. When did you start performing with your current band? What inspired you to come out from behind the desk and allow people to start writing about you? T- It seems like I've been doing Relix forever. It's been eighteen years.
