<description><![CDATA[We had the pleasure of having Steve Mouzon over to the Prince&#8217;s Foundation for a Masterclass.]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.originalgreen.org/OG/Blog/Blog.html"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-252" title="og" src="http://romeroarchitects.com/blog2/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/og.jpg" alt="" width="197" height="285" /></a>We had the pleasure of having Steve Mouzon over to the Prince&#8217;s Foundation for a Masterclass.  He spent an afternoon with us talking about the <a href="http://www.originalgreen.org/OG/Home.html" target="_blank"><strong>Original Green</strong></a>, which is, according to Steve, that originally, before the Thermostat Age, the places we made and the buildings we built had no choice but to be green. The Original Green is holistic sustainability, and broader than Gizmo Green.</p>
<p>Obviously, this is right in line with the Foundation&#8217;s <strong><a href="http://www.princes-foundation.org" target="_blank">principles</a></strong>.  In the end, he was able to relay to us how simple solutions that we lost in the 20th century can help us achieve more responsible, and simpler, lives.</p>
<p>Here are some interesting points that I noted.</p>
<p><strong>The Danger of Wishes</strong></p>
<p>Government emissions reduction targets are just wishes.  This type of thing is the problem with top-down mandates.  What happens if the targets are not met?  Is the government going to shut down a whole industry?</p>
<p><strong>The Supply Side Focus</strong></p>
<p>Too much focus has been on improving the efficiency of our existing machines (cars, building, etc.).  Improved efficiency typically leads to greater use, which reduces the overall desired impact.  Focusing on behavior change has a much greater impact because of the obvious greater scale.</p>
<p><strong>Conditioning Humans Before Buildings</strong></p>
<p>Since the dawn of what Steve calls the &#8216;Thermostat Age,&#8217; people are more and more used to being within a small temperature range because we spend most of our lives in climate-controlled spaces.  This is silly because we should condition ourselves first.  The range should be something like 60 -85 degrees instead of 68-70 degrees.  Obviously, this would entail designing buildings to react to the climate in a more natural and traditional way.  For me, this was true when I lived in Florida on the beach.  After a few weeks, I was used to the heat &#8211; and the breeze off the ocean was always present.</p>
<p><strong>The Death of Tradition</strong></p>
<p>Tradition has more to do with being loved than being part of actual history.  A <em>living tradition </em>is one that is passed down verbally from generation to generation.  These traditions, before the early part of the 20th century, were not so complex that specialists were needed.  In fact, specialization and the need for efficiency peeled away at these living traditions as laypeople no longer needed to learn about them because specialists were there to do the job.</p>
<p>This leads the broader context of the &#8216;silo effect&#8217; in the field of the built environment and its devastating consequences, which is something I am getting more and more interested in.</p>
<p>The architect became the specialist, the authority, on buildings.  That is all he thinks about in his silo.  His creation is an object in space, an object that typically disregards context completely.  The planner is the specialist for the process for getting things built, and he only thinks in terms of checking boxes.  The traffic engineer is the specialist for the roads and his decisions are solely based in terms of efficiencies of traffic and ease of cars to get around, park, etc., completely disregarding pedestrians, building uses, and the economic and social consequences.</p>
<p>These are all generalizations, but it is easy to see how this type of thinking has led to poor choices in design of buildings, roads and cities across the globe.</p>
<p>Part Two will look at Patterns vs. Style, Exported Guilt and the Importance of Loveable Buildings.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have places where you eat and places where you have dinner. To our big surprice we discovered one in Mouzon. For sure we&#8217;re not the first: Les Échevins is in Michelin&#8217;s Guide Rouge and deserves this BIG time.</p>
<p>Each year, on my birthday, right between Christmas and New Year, we go hunting for a good restaurant in the French country side. This year we bumped into Les Échevins (<em>the Aldermen</em>) in the center of Mouzon, a peaceful quiet town with a huge church and an old city gate. It used to be of some importance but lost this stature centuries ago.</p>
<p>Les Échevins is an absolute MUST go if you <a href="http://www.supergites.nl" target="_blank">stay around</a>. The food does not only look pretty but it&#8217;s a feast for the taste buds.</p>

XVII edizione dal 2 al 5 luglio sempre presso la suggestiva cornice del Loggione del Museo Archeologico di Teano. Interessante il programma, da non perdere il tributo a Charles Mingus, Zappa e Monk.<!--more--></p>
<p>comunicato stampa:</p>
<p>Si svolgerà da 2 al 5 luglio la XVII edizione del Teano Jazz Festival, promosso dall’EPT di Caserta, Regione Campania, in collaborazione con l’associazione Teano Musica, e con la direzione artistica di Antonio Feola.<br />
Anche l’edizione 2009, che si svolgerà come di consueto nella suggestivacornice del loggione del museo archeologico di Teano, propone un cartellone che tiene fede al marchio di qualità, originalità e di ricerca musicale del Teano Jazz. Una edizione che si caratterizza per la presenza di progetti di alto contenuto artistico e per la partecipazione di illustri ospiti di livello internazionale.</p>
<p>Si partirà giovedì 2 luglio con Zapping di Furio Di Castri, uno dei progetti più innovativi e sorprendenti degli ultimi anni in cui si propone una ricerca di sintesi tra le figure non convenzionali di Frank Zappa e Thelonius Monk. Accompagnato dal trombettista olandese Eric Vloeimans e dal batterista algerino Joel Allouche, già compagni di viaggio con il quintetto “Outline”, Di Castri incontra per l’occasione il chitarrista Nguyen Le, la pianista Rita Marcotulli e Mauro Negri al sax e clarinetto. Il risultato è un viaggio nella musica del Novecento condita da continui richiami ai due musicisti che Furio Di Castri prende ad esempio e modello.</p>

<p>Venerdì 3 Luglio la rassegna propone il tributo sempre suggestivo reso dalla Mingus Dynasty alla mitica figura del contrabbassista di Nogales, Charlie Mingus. Dopo Zappa e Monk, un altro grande del passato viene ricordato dal<br />
Teano Jazz Festival. La ricorrenza è di quelle importanti. Trent’anni fa moriva Charles Mingus, la cui opera, per volontà della moglie Sue, continua ad essere divulgata in tutto il mondo dalla Mingus Dynasty. Ma la piccola orchestra è qui per festeggiare anche un altro anniversario, e cioè i cinquant’anni dell’album “Mingus Ah Um”, pietra miliare della musica del Novecento, primo disco pubblicato con la Columbia e summa dell’opera del contrabbassista dell’Arizona.</p>
<p>David Sanborn (4 luglio), L.Coryell, J. De Francesco e Al Mouzon (5 luglio), sono le stelle di questa edizione.</p>
<p>David Sanborn è considerato uno dei più determinanti sassofonisti degli ultimi trent&#8217;anni in ambito non solo jazz ma anche pop, rhythm&#38;blues e crossover. Vanta collaborazioni prestigiose, da Micheal Brecker a Steve Gadd, da Tim Berne a Eric Clapton. E se gli appassionati ne ricorderanno soprattutto le folli improvvisazioni negli anni ’70, la popolarità è arrivata soprattutto con la sua “svolta” fusion. E in questa veste promette al pubblico di Teano atmosfere eleganti e morbide, virtuosistiche e rassicuranti. Ma anche calde e intense con i suoi originali innesti di blues<br />
e rythm’n blues.</p>
<div id="attachment_3519" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 260px"><a href="http://campaniarock.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/davidsanbornb.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-3519" title="davidSanbornb" src="http://campaniarock.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/davidsanbornb.jpg?w=250&#038;h=273" alt="David Sanborn" width="250" height="273" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">David Sanborn</p></div>
<p>Chiuderà la rassegna, domenica 5 luglio, un trio che promette scintille formato dal chitarrista Larry Coryell, dall’organista Joey De Francesco e dal percussionista Al Mouzon. Coryell è uno dei precursori della fusion.<br />
Dotato di una tecnica che lo colloca al fianco dei maestri Al Di Meola, John Scofield, John Abercrombie e John McLaughlin, con i quali ha spesso collaborato, Coryell ha aperto la strada con le sue commistioni a diverse generazioni di musicisti. A seguirlo nelle sue volate virtuosistiche ci sarà un altro ex bambino prodigio del blues e della soul music americana, scritturato a soli 17 anni dalla Columbia per il suo primo album. Joey De Francesco ha riportato in auge l’Hammond in un’epoca di tastiere, campionatori ed elettronica, con uno stile spettacolare e decisamente coinvolgente. A gettare benzina su tutto questo fuoco sarà il percussionista Al Mouzon. Primo batterista dei Weather  Report, ha suonato con i più grandi nomi del jazz e del rock.</p>
<p>Le giornate del 4 e 5 luglio, inoltre, saranno animate dalla presenza della brass band Magicaboola una giovane formazione di 12 elementi che darà spettacolo per le stradine e le piazze del centro storico.</p>
