MORRISON HOTEL GALLERY

The Morrison Hotel Gallery has opened with a splash
at The SUNSET MARQUIS in West Hollywood CA USA.

A world-class gallery with Classic Rock & Roll
Images that tell the history of Music, here in
the States and abroad. Jagger, Miles, Janis,
Dylan, and of course Morrison and The Doors,
to name a few. Although the catalog is centered
in the Rock genre, they also have a strong
representation of sports related images
& photographers. Reping over a hundred
world class photographers. Were pretty lucky
to have this imagery here in Hollywood & what
better place than the lovely atmosphere of The
Sunset Marquis. Full of natural light, pool-side
glamour and a top notch kitchen with a full
service staff for luxury and leisure, it's a perfect
fit.

These days the art collectors, galleries and fans
are finding new & creative ways to celebrate, sell
and collect classic imagery. This looks like a great
decision from just about every angle. There was a
full turnout of interested and interesting talents,
including Julian Lennon, Gary Oldman and Billy Bob
Thorton. With many of the stars in attendance being
represented on the walls such as the great portrait of
Billy Bob or actual photos of historical characters they
have played on the screen, such as Gary Oldman' s
star turn as Sid Vicious. One of the most vigorous &
down right naked performances to ever introduce an
actor to an audience. Proving himself to be a true and
dedicated craftsman of the medium. And of course
Julian' s father & the Beatles.


It is refreshing to see how important these images of
those we cherish and love have become. As the Music
scene becomes more and more watered down, tame
and politically correct, these images are a reminder
that people make music. Real people, who write about
life, love, loss, change, history, struggle and sometimes
war and peace. Within music is a great meeting of the
minds, hearts and ideas. Hollywood, the music scene,
technology and the great all mighty dollar' s influence
can never truly change what makes music great and
that is simply: The Musicians . People just like you and
I who happened to write a great phrase, a tune, a
some thing or other that others felt was worth recording.

These images remind us that some of our favorite
stars in Jazz and Rock & Roll were thrust into the lime
light, some times unsuspecting, other times fully aware.
Music is a time & a place, an ephemeral & transitory
experience . The great art of the photograph reveals
itself to be an extremely important component to what
we now realize is a relatively impermanent & individual
thing . We may not have been in the room, on the road
or at the studio with Bobby, Mick, Bowie or Sid, but we
forever have a glimpse, a symbol, a record of a time
that once was.

On the one hand, all of this is history, on the other,
here we all are, talking about projects, reflecting on
people, yearning to make that connection between
image, sound & the people and places that we deem
important. Many of the people in these photos are no
longer with us. But when I see Miles Davis blowing on
a trumpet, I can only feel that he never actually left
us at all. I hear the music. I sense the cool. The wail.
The pain. The joy. The suffering. The madness that it
takes to dedicate your life to art. To go on tour, to
leave one' s family and friends behind, because you
love some thing so damn much that ya got no choice
but to play for the people. Life on the road is tough.
Sure, there is the fun side, the parties, the fans and
audience' s applause. But the sacrifice that goes into
being a musician is most likely un - photographable.
Many of the images represented here show the playful,
passionate and professional side of life.

Music has that special & undefinable ability to transport
us to a time and a place that has long ago passed. The
decades seem to disappear and suddenly there we are,
once again, in the prime of our lives. One can' t help
but think about, and study these photos a little deeper
to realize that life is very precious & that every body,
every where, whistles a tune they love or has a memory
related to a favorite song. Through the magic of music
we float above the mundane, the maudlin, the morose
moments in life. Images and music will always have a
relationship that retain a bit of mystery. In this instance,
a touch of that mystery is revealed. The curtain is lifted,
the stars shine and through it all, time & time again, the
song remains the same.


The Morrison Hotel Gallery is well worth a visit and so is
The Sunset Marquis Hotel, Restaurant and Spa located
just off The Sunset Strip. A discreet, quiet & extremely
luxurious Hotel with a personable and warm staff. Large
enough to have your own private space, small enough to
feel cozy.

THE HEALING POWER OF TREES

By SHARLYN HIDALGO / LLEWELLYN PUBLICATIONS


Review By Joshua A. TRILIEGI / BUREAU of ARTS and CULTURE Magazine


Steeped in mythology, visually suggestive imagery & prayers
of a previous time and place. An interesting anthology of Celtic
symbols, storytelling and original seasonal rituals that harken
back to the early centuries when trees were considered sacred.
A sort of Calendar of Astrology as seen through the eyes of an
Irish Shaman with the trees instead of the planets, telling the
story . With a twinkle in her eye and a hand on the bark,
Hidalgo tells the origin stores like a mystic priestess with respect
and awe for the power of plants, vines, shrubs and trees. The
Irish have always had a deep respect for nature, its basic symbolic
phenomena and the reasons and seasons that bring these signs
to earth . Rainbows, lightening, shillelaghs, runes and the mystic
power they represent are but a few of the examples sited here.

In this extremely thorough and imaginative book, we are treated
to a series of stories, visualizations and a compendium of dates
which represent the changing of the seasons and which trees and
plants they represent. With explanations of holiday rituals such as
Christmas, Halloween, The Day of Bread, May Day, Summer and
Winter Solstice, Easter, The Day of The Dead, Harvest and Mabon.
As well as a Lunar Calendar connecting the animals, plants and
strengths of the moon.

For instance, January 24th is the beginning of The Time of Willow:
honoring the Bee, the Goddess, the Maiden, the Dove . Ms. Hidalgo
goes deep into interpretation of each symbol and how and why it
represents this particular season, ritual and the ideas behind it.
Equally intellectual & elementary, it' s a good read for youngsters
as well as the curious and well educated on the healing and mystic
arts . For those on the ecological side, it' s a great reminder of how
important trees are and a good tool for helping to teach others the
need for preservation. This book honors the earth and it' s hidden
healing qualities locked within the ancient powers that many believe
reside within each and every living plant. Most common medicines
originate from plants and trees. Herbs for cooking such as "... parsley,
sage rosemary and thyme ..." all retain healing ingredients which also
carry strong stories that reflect issues pertaining to seasons that
challenge humans, be it, common colds or even some forms of cancer.

With informative illustrations of trees, descriptions of their branches
& leaves. Guided meditations, healing imagery and little know facts
such as there are actually thirteen moon cycles in a year. In writing
this workbook, Ms Hidalgo discovered that she was able to heal,
teach and provide a knowledge that was beyond anything she had
experienced prior to this time in her life. Perhaps you too will
discover
some hidden quality within . Meanwhile, you will surely learn a
bundle of new facts about trees and their mythology. An easy read
that can be reviewed on a monthly basis & used almost as a calendar
of learning, if not an interesting viewpoint that suggests that humans
and trees have had a much deeper relationship than us moderns have
been recently led to believe .

THE HOUSE THAT TRAIN BUILT:

THE STORY OF IMPULSE RECORDS



By ASHLEY KAHN on W.W. NORTON PUBLICATIONS


Review By Joshua A. TRILIEGI / BUREAU of ARTS and CULTURE Magazine


Most music fans know who John Coltrane is and what he did for jazz
music, for saxophone players and new music spirituality . What you may not 
be aware of is that John Coltrane & his version of My Favorite Things in 1960s
helped  to create an entire label that went onto reinvent and support a bevy of
new jazz artists . The impulse label, which was originally fueled by funds from
ABC and hits by Ray Charles such as, One Mint Julep, went on to become a
leading label with an original look, style and feel. Album covers that opened up 
and told a story with extended liner notes, helping to create a dialogue and
intellectual take on a lot of great new music that helped to fuel new jazz movements.

The story of Impulse records is an interesting one. Ashley Kahn's
research, his  writing style, with a flash-back / flash-forward motif, suits the
subject well. Plenty of photographs, samples of albums and an incredibly thorough
discography with just about every album, release date & important phase the label 
went through. Mr. Kahn has written extensively on Jazz with his other books on 
Miles Davis & Coltrane' s infamous Love Supreme . Sonny Rollins, Chico Hamilton,
Yusuf  Lateef, Elvin Jones, Tom Scott, Charlie Mingus, Coleman Hawkins and
Pharoah Sanders are just a few of the artists that followed Coltrane on Impulse. 
Often honoring him, his massive influence, musically, technically and often
naming songs after some type of John Coltrane motif.

Kahn is like a cool daddy professor who simply loves the music,
the vibe, the history of jazz so much, that the reader, his students,
soon find themselves steeped in fun facts that make up what we call
jazz. From the inception of tunes, recording, players, dates and places,
all bases are covered in this comprehensive jazz companion . Covering
the period from the time John Coltrane came to the label and into his
leaving the planet. The story reveals itself as important and informative .
Alice Coltrane picks up the mantle and carries it into the present time.

As the book reveals in Chapter six, 'Died' is not in Alice Coltrane' s
vocabulary . You got that right. John Coltrane left. But with Impulse,
his legacy, his fans, his family and books such as this one as well as
Kahn' s other works, the Coltrane legend is indeed alive and well.
Highly suggested for those who wish to learn more about this great
contributor to the jazz music and vocabulary of great American Arts.
With titles such as A Love Supreme, Ascension, Om and Cosmic Music,
Coltrane completely transformed jazz into a totally spiritual idea .
From the early until his untimely passing , Coltrane recorded albums and
songs that have yet to be resolved, understood or entirely digested by any
particular critic, audience or movement. He was exorcising his demons, 
inviting in his angels and taking what we considered as a pastime into a 
full on religious experience. The jazz solo is never the same after John 
Coltrane, neither are we. This is a good companion to that legacy and 
to an important Jazz Music
Label.

GAINSBOURG: THE BIOGRAPHY

By GILLES VERLANT on TAM TAM BOOKS


Review By Joshua A. TRILIEGI / BUREAU of ARTS and CULTURE Magazine


Excessive . Provocative . Tempestuous . Serge Gainsbourg was a sort of
every man rockstar poet who thumbed his nose at everything he could.
One thinks of Marlon Brando in The Wild One. Question : What are you
rebelling against ? Answer : What ya Got ? This is a thoroughly detailed
and exhaustedly researched Bio on French singer and songwriter, Serge
Gainsbourg . The Publisher, Tosh Berman, handed me a copy while riding
on the bus last summer. I promised him we would give it an official review. 
Interviews, mixed with original song lyrics, anecdotal stories,timelines and 
some rare, little known early biographical influences, such as Gainsbourg' s 
troubling childhood i e : the nazi invasion of France.  Commentary by friend' s 
of his parents, family members, co-workers and collaborators as well as people 
he created some of his best works with, around and about. Such as the Bonny 
and Clyde track, created after a drunken dinner with french actress and model, 
Bridget Bardot . She requested for Serge to, "Write me the most beautiful love 
song you can imagine." He did. The tune created an international stir and the film, 
by Warren Beatty, released just months after the song, assured a healthy dose of
 timing, that to this day has sustained a hip, savvy, sexy pop style that remains at  
the very top of strange interludes between poets and pop icons.

Not unlike Madonna visiting with Charles Bukowski in the Harbor Area of
L A .Hank' s little girl neighbor would later ask him, 'Why would Madonna
want to visit you ?' Later, Madonna would pen the now famous Lyric, " I fell
in love with San Pedro ..." Obviously written about her visits to Buk, with
her then lover, Sean Penn . Gainbourg is, in many ways, the French version of
Bukowski. Throw in a piano and guitar and viola ! To this day, Gainsbourg is
still one of the top composers, when it comes to royalties generated from his work .


There are three things you learn about from Parisians within the first
week of your visit : 1 - Smoking hashish rolled up into a cigarette. 2 - Eating
croissants stuffed with chocolate. 3 - Listening to the music of Serge Gainsbourg . 
Anyone who tells you different is either a liar, a coward or was just not hanging out
with the right French persons . France is a lovely country full of contradictions. A
socialistic society that outsiders adore and bores abhor . There is a comfort with
sexuality, eccentricity and revolutionary ideas . Music, art, politics, conversation and 
a bit of the old debauchery here and there is fine with your average Frenchman
and woman too, for that matter. Serge Gainsbourg came around at just the right
time. A sort of French Leonard Cohen meets Charles Bukowski. With a touch of 
that same strange cocktail of intellect and artistry that gave us the likes of David
Byrne & Talking Heads.


Of course, this was decades earlier. The Nineteen Sixties anti-hero reflecting on film,
politics, the sexual revolution and a new voice for the youth. The guy unwilling to lie
about truths, though, more than willing to truth about lies. Copping styles of musical
influence from British pop, Jamaican reggae, American Jazz and good old Rock & Roll.
Born in 1928, to Jewish Russian parents, both artistically inclined, visually as well
as musically . His Dad is a pianist, his mom is a singer. They land in France with
some 100,000 other Russian - immigrants . And so the story begins. Engaging
from the get - go . Finely crafted. A good introductory read for those unfamiliar
as well as anyone who is a tried & true fan. Although, for those hearing about
the artist for the first time, we highly suggest you purchase a musical companion
to this thoroughly engaging biography of one of Frances greatest pop phenomena .


Famous for cussing on television talk shows, telling the scathingly naughty truths
that average citizen's lie about publicly. He was a hot button artist with his finger
always on the trigger. He had a free thinking father who played piano daily from the
time Serge was born 'till age twenty. Born with a twin sister in a seriously dangerous
time for Jewish peoples. Serge finds his way through music, wit and charm. Knowing
that at any minute one might be taken away in cars, trucks & trains, never to return
again . He literally is pulled out of school and told by teachers to, " Take this axe and
go hide in the woods." Somehow, with the help of others, he makes it through and
never forgets his past.

For those music fans who simply like his songs, this is a complete eye opener, 
historically and politically speaking. No wonder he was such a bastard. No wonder 
he spoke his mind so freely. No wonder he adored life' s freedoms. I would not be 
surprised if someone were to option this Bio for future production into a fine film. 
With fans on every continent & a roster of supporters including Johnny Depp, 
 Isabelle Adjani, Catherine Deneuve and most hip film makers, it'd be a great piece 
of cinema. 

Tosh Berman, this Books publisher, formerly worked at the Book Soup
Annex on Sunset Strip as a cashier . Some years ago, I was about to
purchase a rare french girlie magazine with 3-D Glasses attached, he,
uhm , sorta attempted to halt the sale. Realizing the rarity if the item.
I relented & recently used it to create a tribute work to Jack Kerouac'
s
On The Road. Tosh probably doesn't recall. In any event, Tam Tam Books
is his new empire & with this new Serge Gainsbourg biography, he' s done
well. I can see now why he wanted the french girly mag as much as I did.
Guess we all have a touch of Serge Gainsbourg in us. Fellow Francophiles.

We suggest this Biography, which was ten years in the making. With
explicit instructions to also purchase : The Bonnie and Clyde Album with 
Bridget Bardot. As well as compilation Records and Discs. One thing that 
may have been missing from this version is a complete discography with 
Titles,Dates, etc... Maybe in the reprinting, Eh Tosh ? Bonjour Mon Amie !
