The Monday Night JAZZ JAM Session at Barbara Morrison's


The Monday Night JAZZ JAM Session at Barbara Morrison's 


Leimert Park 4305 DEGNAN # 101 LA CA 90008 [ Just East of Crenshaw ]  




 It's a quiet Monday night. I drive over to Leimert Park.
Barbara Morrisson has invited me  to her Jazz Packed 
Jam Session earlier this year and I have been meaning 
to stop by to see what's cookin'. Not sure what to expect.
Walking up into the courtyard, I smell fresh food: fish 
frying on the grill, spicy greens and sweet potatoes, for 
five dollars ? Oh yeah, only another five to get in, cool.



This place has a rich history and from what I can hear on 
the stage, a well guaranteed future. Ms. Morrison is one of 
the Jazz greats, she opened this spot as a non profit which 
provides a place for kids to learn music, up & comers to 
hone their craft and professionals to get out of the house 
and showcase, experiment or simply to woodshed a new 
number or two. For the citizens of Los Angeles, music lovers,
jazz curious or well versed, this is a gift. The gig starts at 
eight, I enter around 9pm and things are already rockin'.  



The MC is Jacques LeSeur, a guitarist with a mellow and 
straight ahead style, all around bon vivant and a very 
welcoming fellow to those on and off the stage. Your made 
to feel that this is your place: all colors, all styles seem to 
be represented. Young recent graduates, those still in their 
intermediate phase and professionals such as Scotty Barhart, 
who has just been appointed a leadership position with the 
great Count Basie Orchestra. I recently picked up an old LP 
on Vinyl with The Count and Sinatra throwing down, yeah.
Scotty busts out his trumpet and pierces the ceiling open.


There are a handful of drummers in the house and they share 
the stage accordingly: Curtis Perkins, Giovanni Nickens, Fritz 
Wise and young cat who had me reeling late into the evening, 
Mr. Brandon Bridges. Vocalists trying out new and standard 
tunes: Simply Charles threw down a lovely version of 'Christina'. 
Carla Barbarese with 'Everything must change' and a lady who 
went by the single name of Constance had a lovely, fun and 
mellow tone. When Bobby West stepped up to the piano, I 
knew I was in the presence of a master technician & musician.
Waterfall like orchestrations that soothed and scintillated. 
Pros like Mr West, who lives in Holland, will drop by to say 
hi to Barbara, stretch out a bit and jam with the L.A. crew.


So many people took the stage, It felt like a 3 AM jazz session 
in Greenwich Village. Forgive me if I missed your name, or 
spelled it wrong, I hadn't planned on working. But It's difficult 
not to share a well kept secret like this particular spot which 
deserves support and has everything to offer the residents of 
Los Angeles. The streets were so quiet, the parking was ample, 
the food and music were great, I can see no reason why this spot 
shouldn't be jumping with people, who frankly need to get out 
of the house and listen to some live music much more often 
than they do. It was a very inspiring evening of live jazz. 

I kept thinking about how music can be sacred, especially 
jazz, theres a high wire aspect in jamming with folks you may 
never have played with, even a standard tune becomes some 
thing different in situations such as these, it was a beautiful 
scene.  Affordable.  Entertaining.  Exciting even.  I'm down.


The bevy of players and vocalist' s include: Chuck Manning, 
Joyce Wilson, Daryl Moore, Brian McNeil, James Leary, Sabine 
Poitier, Dee Stone, Ann Mack as well as the Poet Barbara Lee.

Jacques is also supporting a fundraiser at Catalina's Bar & Grill 
on December 17th 2013 for a very well intentioned cause and 
has a Crenshaw-X-Mas Album that is currently available. Of 
course Barbara Morrison has albums available and can be heard 
on local Jazz Radio stations wherever you are reading this article 
from: Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, New York City or 
Europe where she has just returned from a recent tour. Look for 
a full Audio Interview with Ms. Morrison on the main site soon.

BUREAU ART REVIEW: " A Quest for BEAUTY : The Art of VAN CLEEF & ARPELS " at THE BOWERS MUSEUM Through to February 15 th 2014




" A Quest for BEAUTY : The Art of VAN CLEEF & ARPELS " 

at 

THE BOWERS MUSEUM


October 27 th 2013 through to February 15 th 2014   2002 N Main St. Santa Ana CA 92706 714 567 3600

Tues - Sun  10 am to 4 pm 






 A rare look inside the history of an extremely well known 
Jewelry House of Paris France: Van Cleef & Arpels. Famous 
for creating one of a kind, made to order, extravagance.


Many on view here in America for the very first time. 
An exhibition of Iconic functional art worn by some of 
the most gifted and notoriously glamourous women on 
the stage, in film and the world of fashion. Including 
Princess Grace, Liz Taylor, Barbara Hutton, Jacqueline 
Onassis, Maria Callas and Princess Soraya, to name a few. 


The BOWERS Museum has really come a long way since 
it' s original inception and specifically over the past ten 
years.  What was once a quaint little community space 
for art is now a relatively world class institute of fine art.
This particular exhibition is indeed the jewel in the crown.


One might have expected this show to be placed at The 
LA County, Norton Simon or The Getty. It has the flair of 
a Smithsonian Institute type of cultural exchange exhibit.
A wide variety of styles and time periods: rings, bracelets,
watches, hand bags, tiaras, necklaces and even a crown.
Many assembled here for the first time in one entire exhibit.


The Bowers also has plenty of other works in their current 
collection: paintings, sculpture and a lovely courtyard and 
even a nice little restaurant.  It is an expansive Museum 
with incredibly high ceilings, large rooms and an architectural 
layout full of natural light, world class to be sure. There is a 
story behind just about every peice in the show. With original 
works from the Nineteen Twenties through to the present time. 
Inspiration culled from playful animal images to classic diamond 
inlaid works of a royal variety. 


Van Cleef & Arpels is an austere House of Jewelry with a storied 
past. Not unlike another famous Parisian house of influence: 
Chanel.  Founded by Estelle Arpels and her husband Alfred 
Van Cleef, with contributions by other family members through 
the years. The Art Deco pieces of the Nineteen Twenties are 
especially impressive. Employing diamonds and platinum, onyx 
and sapphire, rubies and pearls. 

The Bretzel & Tulle necklaces all have a timeless quality. Also 
on view are plenty of brassy styles from the 1970's, bold, iconic 
with a culturally diverse group of influences, specifically Chinese 
and Egyptian. Known for it' s  'Mystery Settings', which was 
actually patented in 1933 as a special technique that is a mix 
between, high art, sculpture and jewelry. It allows the work to 
float without actually viewing the setting of the stones. Thus 
the mystery. 


The exhibit, which will stay in Santa Ana at the Bowers Museum
until mid February 2014, comes with a lush publication chronicling 
the history of Van Cleef & Arpels  and the works exhibited with 
essays from Vincent Meylan, Marion Fasel, Janet Zapata & Timothy 
Adams: All professionals in the world of Art, Jewelry and the like.

From 1895 with the wedding of Arpel and Van Cleef and into the 
current time, this timeless house of handcrafted jewelry is a rare 
and culturally momentous occasion for both Paris and Southern 
California. If 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend …', then this may 
be a good time to take a 'best friend' to the Bowers sometime 
between now and next Valentines day. Or stop by one of the 
many Van Cleef & Arpels Stores and enjoy the current catalogue.

Look for upcoming reviews in our Fashion Section on Van Cleef 
& Arpels line of perfumes, cologne and accessories of all sorts. 
AS WELL AS AN EXCLUSIVE AUDIO INTERVIEW On The BUREAU site.
