John Scofield & Joe Lovano Quartet In SINgapore!




John Scofield & Joe Lovano Quartet
13th Oct 08, Mon, 7.30pm
Concert Hall

Tix:
$58, $78, $108


Taken from http://www.esplanade.com:

Their successful musical coalition in the early 90s kept their mutual fans waiting almost 20 years for this merger. Now, celebrate as jazz greats - guitarist/composer John Scofield and saxophonist/composer Joe Lovano – reunite in a sizzling four-man musical assemblage that is the sum of their collective creativity, skill and passion.
Considered one of the “big three” of current jazz guitarists (along with Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell), John is a masterful jazz improviser whose music falls somewhere between post-bop, funk-edged jazz, and R&B. He has led his own groups in the international jazz scene, recorded over 35 albums as a leader (many already classics) and collaborated with the likes of Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, Eddie Harris, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Bill Frisell, Brad Mehldau, Mavis Staples, Government Mule, Jack DeJohnette, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Dave Holland and Phil Lesh.
Grammyâ-winner Joe Lovano, whom critics consider John Coltrane’s worthy heir, has distinguished himself for some three decades, earning praise for his compelling saxophone tone, improvisational ability and forward-thinking musical presentation in his quest for new modes of artistic expression, from his recent work with Gunther Schuller, Streams of Expression, to his work as Gary Burton Chair of Jazz Performance at Berklee College of Music. He has released 18 celebrated albums on The Blue Note label, including 2007's Grammy-nominated Kids, a duet recording with iconic pianist Hank Jones.
Hear the two legends swing to their original compositions, accompanied by sought-after and acclaimed musicians, drummer Matt Wilson and double bassist Matt Penman, in a concert of ingenuity, brilliance and sheer love for what they do.
(90mins, no intermission)

Go! Lily Go!!


'I needed to shout for these people'

~ Dr Lily Neo (Jalan Besar GRC)




Dr Lily Neo was speaking up for low-income families who are not eligible for Public Assistance because one or both of the parents are working.


"The cleaners, the hawker assistants who, despite the Government's mantra of helping citizens help themselves, are so down and out they have no way of helping themselves"

'They see the rich, and they see Singapore progressing,' said Dr Neo. 'But then they say, look at me, what chance do I have?'"


"Halfway through the marathon parliamentary session, Dr Lily Neo (Jalan Besar GRC) suddenly waved a piece of paper frantically at the Speaker, Mr Abdullah Tarmugi, like a latecomer flagging a departing bus.
When she got no response, she stood up, walked to the rostrum and stopped the Speaker from moving on to the next question."

"She had asked the Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, a three-point question.

One, whether his Ministry is monitoring how lower-income Singaporeans are being affected by inflation and the stagnation of wages.

Two, whether the available assistance is lessening their difficulties.

And three, whether there will be other measures to ensure that no one falls through the cracks.

In her reply, Minister of State Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, who was standing in for Dr Balakrishnan, listed the different assistance schemes available, and cited examples of families which benefit from the schemes.

Then, before she knew it... 'Question 8!'

The Speaker had signalled the House to move on to the next question, tabled by Dr Lam Pin Min (Ang Mo Kio GRC).

In the row above her, Dr Lam was already rising to acknowledge the Speaker.

That was when Dr Neo lost her cool."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The lack of assistance for the people who fall through the cracks has been around for a long time and it is made worse by the current high inflationary environment which is not likely to ease in the near future.

I see more & more grannies collecting empty cans out of rubbish bins just to earn the mere few cents & i wonder why they need to do that when the Singapore government is rich.
