The Daily Telegraph, UK, states, “…what Glass is doing is changing the face of music for our time and all time.” The nine time Grammy winner Eddie Palmieri and Grammy winning Brian Lynch Jazz Quartet will thrill audiences with their jazzy Latin rhythms. According to the LA Weekly in reporting on the 2011 Playboy Jazz Festival, “…. there was some great jazz and killer funk, and Eddie Palmieri was so freaking great he blew our minds.” “We are thrilled with this year’s lineup of immensely accomplished artists of such high caliber and diversity,” said Angela McConnell, the executive director of Montalvo. “Concerts in the Carriage House are unmatched for the patron experience –the intimate setting, incredible sight lines and strong acoustics make a performance in the Carriage House unlike any other live performance.” Tickets go on sale to the general public on August 11 and to Montalvo members‐only August 1‐10. New this year: a “Piano Pass” can be purchased for all five concerts to the Piano Masters Series for $200 for the general public and $190 for members, a savings of up to 15% over single tickets.

  • III ©Ancient Indian Astrology Classes Page 1
    AIAC – A Look Into Planetary Death Places - III ©Ancient Indian Astrology Classes Page 1 AIAC – A Look Into Planetary Death Places - III Case Studies Mars in the 7 th . House – The karaka of the 7H is Venus and the house signifies marriage and partnership. The natural seventh sign is Libra which deals with equality (in marriage) and balance. Mars is the karaka of the 6H of celibacy and service. In the 7H, it will bring in ego and battles. War is fine with enemies but not in marriage. Adjustment is the key to a successful marriage and ego has no place in this house. Mars is the planet of individuality, the primary significator of Agni Tattwa. Mars being in 7H, the person’s adjustment capabilities will surely be questioned. The ripples of such a placement of Mars will be felt in the houses whose karaka is Mars – 3H, 6H. One has to carefully note a few points before he/she reaches any conclusion on planetary death places. The points are mentioned below – 1) Shadbala of planets 2) Association of benefics, malefic, lagna lord, Moon and Sun 3) Aspects – malefic aspects only will create havoc, if unaspected or benefic(s) aspect then there will be no/negligible damage to the karakwatta of the planet Mars in 7H Cases Case I – Clint Eastwood In case of Clint Eastwood, Mars is placed in maranasthana in mooltrikona sign of Aries with Rahu. The karaka of 7H Venus is with Jupiter in the 9H. Relationship problems related to adjustment issues will surface in his life and there will invariably be separation from spouse, if married.

  • Bassist Kyle Eastwood's Songs from the Chateau
    BASSIST KYLE EASTWOOD’S SONGS FROM THE CHATEAU, SET FOR AUGUST 30 RELEASE ON RENDEZVOUS MUSIC “Eastwood’s music is all about style.” – Jazzwise “Thoughtful, contemplative, admirably understated and highly listenable.” – Evening Standard Today, Kyle Eastwood is less and less known as the son of Clint Eastwood and more of a universally respected musician and leader in his own right. A virtuoso bassist on electric and upright, as well as a talented composer with a keen ear for great tunes as well as the subtleties of modern jazz, he is right at the forefront of the contemporary scene, having chosen to immerse himself in the music he loves. Dynamic and pulsing, full of swing, great rhythms and memorable melodies, Songs From The Chateau is Eastwood’s fourth US effort on Rendezvous Music (licensed from Candid Records—one of the leading independent jazz labels in the UK). With this new album Eastwood set out to capture the sounds and energy with which his band regularly tours the world to sellout crowds. When he is not on tour Eastwood spends much of his time between Paris, where he has lived on and off for five years, and Los Angeles and is very much at home in France; Eastwood’s preceding release on Rendezvous, Metropolitain, was also recorded in France, so it was natural to look there for an ideal place where he and his musicians could relax for a few days and allow their creative juices to flow. Such a place turned out to be the fabulous 15th Century Couronneau in Ligueux, deep in classic Bordeaux country, and Songs From The Chateau was born.
