The music of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli has long been a favorite of swing fans. Their approach is adapted by the Hot Club of San Francisco in arrangements of modern jazz compositions, pop tunes, classical music, and their own originals. Guitarist Paul Mehling (who plays all of the guitar solos, while also doubling on viola) contributed the upbeat "Swing This," which also features Jenny Scheinman's swinging violin, as does the toe-tapping arrangement of "The Man I Love" (a favorite of Grappelli). Both Horace Silver's "Nica's Dream" and Gerry Mulligan's "Limelight" also sound great recast in a new light. An enchanting cover of the Beatles' "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" works very well in a gypsy swing setting, adding accordionist Rob Berger. This salute by the Hot Club of San Francisco to the style of the Quintet of the Hot Club of France (without slavishly sticking to their repertoire) merits high praise. ~ Ken Dryden

Marc Bolan had intended 1976 to mark the debut of his most treasured recent project, a concept album/movie/book titled Billy Super Duper, only to change his mind at the next-to-last moment and unveil, instead, what amounted to a collection of unused oldies and reheated outtakes. Actually, that's extraordinarily unfair. True, much of Futuristic Dragon had been written and recorded over the previous two years; true, too, even its title was somewhat second-hand -- 1975's Bolan's Zip Gun was originally to be called Theme for a Dragon, and the unused song of the same name was now salvaged as the centerpiece of this new set. But it is also true that only a fool would have left material as good as "New York City," "Chrome ...

This is the story of how a Native American holy man and a family of wolves I met in the wild completely changed my life.I was a professional newspaperman in Scotland for almost 20 years. In the early 1980s I saw the oncoming wave of desktop publishing just before it hit and changed the publishing industry forever. In 1986 I helped set up the European operations of a US-based software company in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 1994, another US software company approached me out of the blue and offered me a job in the Pacific Northwest. I took the job because I wanted to help lead the transition from reading on paper to reading on computer screens. And that was when it all started to get very strange – even before I’d left Scotland. First I had a really powerful dream in which a Native American shaman showed me how to turn into a wolf. Hey, I’ve been a hard-headed newsman – I don’t dream like that!Then it got even stranger: I had a vision, while I was wide awake, in which a pack of wolves appeared in the sky and showed me the constellation of the Little Bear, high in the sky. A friend of a friend, who’s an Ojibwa tribal member, told me I needed to visit her teacher, a Lakota holy man called Martin High Bear, known simply as High Bear. Yes, the wolves in the vision gave me his name!High Bear was living in Portland, Oregon at the time, only a couple of hours from where I was now living. I visited him, and he told me the dream and vision were about leadership, and that “The Wolf” would teach me everything I needed to know.Well, how was that going to happen in this day and age? A couple of days later, I was introduced to tracker and wilderness awareness expert Jon Young. When I asked if he had ever tracked wolves, he did a double-take and told me that two days before he’d been tracking wolves a lot closer to civilization than people believed they lived.A few days later, Jon, Kirstin (his partner) and I drove out to where he’d seen the tracks. And just as I pulled in to park my Jeep (with the top off), a wolf ran out and stood in front of us, looking me straight in the eyes!By this time, I was just about floored by the string of coincidences that had brought me there.The wolf stayed for a few minutes, then Jon led me to his favorite tracking site – which turned out to be the place I’d seen in my dream. I started tracking the wolves, and the bears and cougars that live around my home. In the process I learned more about how humans really work in the place where their perception developed – the wilderness. We think we’re so civilized and modern, but we’re really still Homo sapiens Version 1.0 – a hunter-gatherer, whose perception developed for our survival.And it turned out the wolves weren’t teaching me to “Be a Warrior” or anything of that New Age stuff. They were teaching me what I needed to do to make better software for computers, so they’d feel more natural to human perception.There are hundreds of millions of people using software I helped to invent. I’m inventor or co-inventor on 21 granted US patents, with more ...
