Preview: ‘Beneath The Waves’ Film Festival

Ever wonder what really goes on beneath the ocean’s surface? A lot more than most of us know, it turns out. That’s why the Beneath the Waves Film Festival aims to lift the veil of mystery with an afternoon of short films, discussions and presentations.

This Saturday, Nov. 19, the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary will host the fourth annual film festival, which will present works on environmental issues in our oceans and some of today’s most important conservation efforts.

The event will be broken into two sections, the first starting at noon with the theme “Threatened and Thriving,” and the second, “Wave Makers,” beginning at 2 p.m.

Several of the short films were made by students, like Take Ten for Turtles and Man and Manatee, which outline the plights of their respective subjects. Hundreds of high school and even elementary students competed to have their pieces shown through the festival’s “Youth Making Ripples” contest.

The “Threatened and Thriving” segment aims to inform viewers about species that are struggling, and projects successfully working to save them. The film Bali Close Up, for instance, chronicles how many animals are fighting to survive without a reef in a desert of black volcanic sand on the northeastern part of the island, offering a window into a rarely seen ecosystem.

Some films, like Antarctic Sea Science Expedition and Cashes Ledge: Jewel of the Gulf of Maine, take viewers below the ocean’s surface to the world of plankton, benthic invertebrates, pelagic organisms and the deep sea. One Voice focuses on a conservation success story: the humpback whale’s return from the brink of extinction. In the 1970s, there were only about 500 left in the entire North Pacific; today, there are over 25,000.

“Threatened and Thriving” will be followed by a presentation from Dr. Andrew Devogelaere of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and Dr. James Lindholm, director of the Institute for Applied Marine Ecology, will speak after “Wave Makers.”

Info: Noon-5 p.m. Sanctuary Exploration Center, 35 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. Free.

Evan Fraser has a lot of instruments. Like, hundreds of them. And not just guitars and drums and all that boring stuff—he collects music-makers from all over the world that are completely foreign to anyone who isn’t an ethnomusicologist.
His favorite is the jaw harp—that little handheld mouth harp instrument Snoopy likes to play. It’s one of the most global instruments around, and one that’s important to his band Dirtwire. The group blends instruments from all over the world with electronic beats, so the more international flavor he can add to his music, the better.

“You can find jaw harps in every Asian country, every European country. Africa and South America have a mouth bow, which is essentially the same thing,” Fraser says. “They’ve been the gateway to learning each music culture from every continent. That’s what we’re all about—blowing out those clichés, not getting cubbyholed by any one thing.”

He semi-jokingly refers to his band as purveyors of “swamptronica,” but even that doesn’t do justice to the unique sounds Dirtwire creates. The band is, in the truest sense, a synthesis of organic acoustic instruments and cutting-edge electronics, and Fraser, David Satori (known for his other band Beats Antique) and recently added third member Mike Hoffman are influenced by anything and everything.

“I feel like you can get inspiration from one note of an instrument. I like bringing the organic voice to the world, especially as technology continues to jump to the forefront. I feel like it’s great to be able to balance the two. It’s a way to bridge different worlds that we love,” Fraser says.

Despite the democratic nature of their instrument selection, the end results tend to sound more like electronic than folk or world beat. Fraser sees what they’re doing as creating electronic music that is more interesting and varied than the millions of strictly computer-based producers are creating. The beats are familiar to anyone that loves house and techno, but the melodies and harmonies are more lush than anything a computer could generate.

“We’re a breath of fresh air to the electronic audience because it’s not total computer, alien slaughter. We like to blend it all together, and do it in a tasteful way,” says Fraser. “People appreciate dancing to full-body music with plenty of bass and a nice melody. In my opinion, that’s missing in electronic music.”

In the studio, the threesome begins with pretty much any instrument they can imagine, and then layer on an organic or computerized one they feel complements it. Touring is a whole other story: the laptop is their rhythm section, and a lot of the acoustic instruments they recorded with stay back at the studio, but are still heard on the backing tracks. They lug with them mostly small instruments (remember the jaw harps?) that will fit comfortably into a suitcase, and they play those to give people a show that mixes live and pre-recorded instruments together.

“I like small, portable instruments,” Fraser says. “If there’s a harmonica part in the computer recorded, then we just take out the harmonica, and there’s room for me to play it live. The same thing with all the other instruments.”

Dirtwire formed around the same time as Beats Antique. To some degree, they’ve recently been getting more attention because of Beats Antique’s success. Satori and Fraser go all the way back to the California Institute of Arts, where they met as students. They immediately hit it off, and shared a vision for the kind of genre-bending music they could make together.

“David and I really think alike. We all enjoy a similar aesthetic. There are things we love about electronic music, and things we love about acoustic, Appalachian and blues, folk traditions,” says Fraser. “Blending the two just seems natural to us. It also gives the music a wider audience, and a new platform.”

REGGAE

JOHN BROWN’S BODY

Hailing from Boston, and Ithaca, New York, John Brown’s Body is a reggae group whose members describe their sound as “future roots music.” What that means is that the band starts with a solid, roots-reggae foundation, but then expands its range to incorporate funk, ska, hip-hop, dub and more. Formed in the mid-’90s, John Brown’s Body was one of the first American reggae acts to garner a national following. The band has since dropped 11 albums, the latest of which is this year’s Fireflies, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Reggae charts. CAT JOHNSON

NUMBSKULL ANNIVERSARY SHOW

Numbskull Productions has been putting on crazy punk rock shows in California for 27 years now. Why not celebrate by rattling your own skull in the pit at the upcoming anniversary show? Numbskull puts on shows in various cities around California, but Santa Cruz is one of its bread-and-butter markets. The lineup is nuts: Suicidal Tendencies, Good Riddance, Leftover Crack, Swingin’ Utters, Fury 66, Screw 32 and the Missing 23rd. AARON CARNES

INFO: 8 p.m. Catalyst, 1011 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. $26.50/adv, $31.50/door. 429-4135.

FOLK

MATT VASQUEZ

Matthew Logan Vasquez is the lead vocalist and guitarist for San Diego-based indie rock band Delta Spirit. This fall, the Texan leaves his new son—who he named Thor—to embark on a solo tour throughout the West Coast. Although most of Vasquez’ solo EP is made up of songs that he originally wrote for Delta Spirit (including an 18-minute intro), the album has a heavier folk influence, reminiscent of early Neil Young. Vasquez himself describes the record as an “epic American saga [that] conjures desert visions of Crazy Horse guitar solos, David Crosby’s mustache, and a journey through the past on mescaline.” KATIE SMALL

INFO: 9 p.m. Crepe Place, 1134 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $14. 429-6994.

COUNTRY

ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL

A giant of country music, Asleep at the Wheel is at this point more an institution than a group. Formed in Paw Paw, West Virginia way back in 1969, the band has been the top-of-mind Western swing outfit for the better part of 50 years. Now a staple of the Austin music scene, Asleep at the Wheel continues its reign as genre ambassador, with nine Grammy Awards, 20 Billboard singles and somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 albums. The band’s most recent offering is Still the King, a tribute to the music of Western swing pioneer Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. CJ

INFO: 7:30 p.m. Rio Theatre, 1205 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz. $35/gen, $50/gold. 423-8209.

SKA

ENGLISH BEAT

English Beat is one of a handful of bands for which any ska fan will immediately suit up and dance. Yet, in an interview leader Dave Wakeling said that the goal was to play reggae and punk. How can this be? Ska’s high-energy danceability, it turns out, was a nice meeting ground for these two disparate genres. Other 2 Tone bands from the era had a similar realization, which explains why those bands, particularly the English Beat, were so diverse and unique. These bands weren’t trying to create a ska revival—they were just liberal with their influences. AC

SATURDAY 11/19

REGGAE

MICHAEL ROSE

Legendary reggae vocalist Michael Rose joined Black Uhuru in 1977, and played a pivotal role in the band’s most successful years (including their 1984 Grammy, the first ever awarded for reggae music). After leading the group to international success, Rose pursued his own solo career for a few years before founding a coffee farm in Jamaica. The singer reunited with Derrick “Duckie” Simpson and Black Uhuru again in 2004, and has been back on the music scene ever since. Over a career spanning four decades, Rose has stayed true to reggae’s roots. KS

BLUEGRASS

PETER ROWAN

Raised on Elvis Presley and rockabilly, bluegrass singer-songwriter Peter Rowan first drank the bluegrass Kool-Aid in college, where he was introduced to legendary acts like the Country Gentlemen, the Stanley Brothers and the mighty Bill Monroe, the father of the genre. When Monroe invited Rowan to play and sing as one of his Bluegrass Boys, Rowan hitched his wagon to Monroe’s star and didn’t look back as he went on to play with bluegrass and newgrass standouts such as David Grisman, Clarence White and Jerry Garcia. Saturday’s performance is a benefit for the Wise Women’s Channel, a documentary platform bringing the “wisdom of today’s tribal leaders, medicine women, and teachers to the world.” CJ

NOT SO YOUNG

Where do you begin with Neil Young? He’s released so many classic albums—Harvest, Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, etc. At his best, he engages some pretty dark material, like the Ditch Trilogy (Time Fades Away, Tonight’s the Night, On The Beach). He’s even released some incredible later albums like Harvest Moon and Sleep With Angels. The point is that local Young tribute band Not So Young covers tunes from Young’s expansive and mind-boggling 50-year career. AC

Love Your Local Band: Shubert Alley Cats

Shubert Alley is a narrow, 300-foot-long pedestrian alleyway originally built as a fire exit between the Shubert and Booth Theatres in the heart of New York City’s Broadway district. The name is fitting for Santa Cruz’s only local Broadway act, the Shubert Alley Cats, whose three members—Rocky Pase on guitar and vocals, Carol Thorson on piano, and Paul Trigg on upright bass—all share a deep affection for the show tunes of the late 1940s and mid-1950s.

“Growing up, we all had the vinyl recordings of these movies, West Side Story and South Pacific, and so we grew up with show tunes playing in our houses,” Rocky reminisces. “You get so caught up in it … I remember being 10 years old and playing basketball out in the snow in Long Island, and I’m singing “Maria” at the top of my lungs, shooting hoops and singing my face off out in the snow. But Broadway is some of the most beautiful music—that’s why it’s on Broadway, these shows that run for years and years and years. The music and the lyrics are so beautiful and captivating.”

A Shubert Alley Cats show will typically blend original songs, jazz standards, and show tunes—often with dialogue to set the scene. The audience is surprisingly diverse, spanning several generations. Part of the draw is in the way that Rocky recreates that interaction between the players and the audience. “Live theater and the music that accompanies it will never die. It’s irreplaceable. Nothing could replace the live communication between what’s happening onstage and with the audience, the people who are listening to and responding to it. Magical things happen when there’s that incredible validation and admiration going back and forth.”

Film Review: ‘Moonlight’

Film

Lisa Jensen

November 15, 2016

Black lives matter in Moonlight, filmmaker Barry Jenkins’ eloquent coming-of-age drama that explores issues of race, culture, and love in unexpected ways. Adapted by Jenkins from an unproduced play by Tarell Alvin McCraney, In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue, the story zeroes in on three key moments in the life of its protagonist as he searches for his place in the world.

Beautifully acted, shot with visual intensity, and featuring a haunting soundtrack by Nicholas Britell, the movie begins in the recent past, in the suburbs of Miami. A minor neighborhood drug kingpin, Juan (the charismatic Mahershala Ali), originally from Cuba, is making his rounds one day in his souped-up vintage Impala when he sees a pack of kids chasing a boy. Tracking down the scared, silent boy to a boarded-up apartment house, Juan persuades him to come home with him. Over dinner with Juan’s girlfriend, Teresa (Janelle Monáe), the boy reveals that his name is Chiron, but everybody calls him “Little” (Alex R. Hibbert).

Juan takes the boy home to his mother, Paula (Naomie Harris), a wary single mom addicted to crack. But Little, neglected by his mom and leery of the strange men who visit her, starts spending more time with Juan and Teresa. Juan becomes the boy’s mentor and surrogate father; he teaches him to swim in the ocean, and offers thoughtful advice about finding his own identity, no matter what bullies, or his mother, say about him. “You gotta decide for yourself who you gonna be,” he tells Little.

In the movie’s middle section, we meet Chiron again as a 16-year-old high school student (now played by Ashton Sanders)—still a loner, and baited by another gang of boys, led by trash-talking Terrel (Patrick Decile). Teresa is still in his life, offering a sympathetic ear, a meal, and a place to stay whenever he needs it. But Paula is in worse shape than ever; at times, Chiron would rather ride around on streetcars all night than go home to her.

The one friend he’s retained since grade school, easygoing Kevin (Jharrel Jerome) has learned to play Terrel’s game, and avoid confrontations. But when Terrel instigates a situation that involves the two friends, Chiron is driven to stand up for himself and take action.

About 10 years later, in the movie’s final act, we catch up with Chiron (played as a hard-edged adult by Trevante Rhodes), whose life has taken a turn that’s both unexpected, and, sadly, inevitable. He’s been long out of the neighborhood when one night he receives a phone call out of the blue from Kevin. Both men have spent time in Juvenile Hall, but Kevin’s experience has been positive—he learned to cook. Now he’s a chef at a Miami diner that he invites Chiron to visit if he’s ever back in town.

So Chiron hits the road on a collision course with the past. First stop: visiting his rueful mom in rehab. Next, as stoic and silent as ever, he shows up at the diner to scope out the situation and surprise Kevin (now played by warm, engaging André Holland). It’s time for a reckoning at last, as Chiron comes to terms not only with everything that happened in his past, but who he will decide to be.

There’s a lot of street slang in the movie, so viewers have to stay alert. But it doesn’t matter if you miss some of the dialogue, because the story is so much larger than the contemporary setting—it’s about choices, upbringing and the search for identity. Director Jenkins keeps the focus on the human drama, but his storytelling is also visually evocative: reeling camerawork spins a cocoon around Juan and one of his street corner dealers, showing just how completely trapped they are in this life; the harsh, saturated interiors in Paula’s bleak apartment reflect her emotional chaos.

Best of all, Moonlight gives us a new way to look at characters and situations that are only clichés on the fringes of most mainstream movies. It’s a slice of cinematic poetry with a vision all its own.

MOONLIGHT

(***1/2)

With Naomie Harris, Mahershala Ali, Ashton Sanders, Trevante Rhodes, André Holland, and Alex R. Hibbert. Written by Barry Jenkins. From the play In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue by Tarell Alvin McCraney. Directed by Barry Jenkins. An A24 release. Rated R. 110 minutes.

A West End Burger to Die For

Industrial glamor oozes through the hipster cavern and outdoor porch of this go-to gastropub West End Tap & Kitchen in the Ingalls Street complex. We like the sleek raised banquette in the front room—all the better to check out the action in the bar, lounge, and of course on those flat-screen TVs. But we weren’t prepared to find one of the best burgers that ever sat on a plate.

The mighty and juicy House Ground Burger ($13) offers grass-fed, pastured beef on a Gayle’s challah bun with all the trimmings including a boatload of hot, crisp panko-crusted fries. If not the deal of the century, the next best thing.

“This is everything I want in a burger,” my picky companion raved with his mouth full. Indeed, it was. The mouth-happy flavor was augmented by the Annie’s organic ketchup that West End keeps on hand.

Our lunch started off, as it must, with the compelling house pickles, involving great crisp slabs of pickled squash, cuke, yellow bell, and carrot—each offering a healthy patina of red pepper fire power. These pickles were made for beer. My companion was also impressed with the house non-alcoholic brew from Erdinger, loaded with authentic lager depth.

My Nevada-sized order of the Pork Belly Flatbread ($15) amounted to a lot of soft and chewy dough topped with potato and parsnip purée (yes, an odd combo), plus delicious grilled sweet onions and smoked gouda, which sort of got lost in all the thick spongy dough. There were some, but not enough, pork belly bits and micro-slices of pickled Romanesco strewn on top of the acreage of flat bread “pizza.” I would have preferred a smaller portion with more pork belly to provide more flavor bang for the buck. But that’s just me. I will go back early and often for the outstanding house burger and all-star fries. And to try some of the gluten-free beers available at West End Tap & Kitchen, open daily from 11:30 a.m. westendtap.com.

New Leaf Second Harvest Donation

I love New Leaf’s delicious, free-range and sensitively-raised Smart Chicken poultry. And now I have yet another reason to procure those plump little Smart Chicken thighs. Throughout the month of November, New Leaf will benefit the crucial work of Second Harvest Food Bank. Here’s the deal: For every 10 pounds of Smart Chicken purchased, one pound will be donated by New Leaf to Second Harvest. Last holiday season, New Leaf donated 2.5 tons of Smart Chicken to Second Harvest, bringing the total to more than 19 tons since 2006, when New Leaf launched the Smart Giving program. I love these win/win events. You take home Smart Chickens for your dinner, and New Leaf donates this healthy poultry to help folks in need. Get some at your neighborhood New Leaf Community Market.

Pie of the Week

The moist, firm, nutmeg-intensive pumpkin pie at The Buttery tastes like your grandmother made it. Not too sweet, and absolutely not “commercial” tasting, it flatters the custard origins of this epic autumn dessert. We consumed ours lickety-split. $2.25/slice.

Mission Hill Creamery Fall Flavors

The seasons change, and so do the artisan offerings at this brilliant ice cream works. The Creamery’s fall flavor line-up includes an addictive Sweet Potato with Toasted Marshmallow, Pumpkin, Brown Sugar Gingersnap, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Pistachio, as well as the last of Summer Melon sorbet. Is this a great part of the country or what? Melon sorbet and Brown Sugar Gingersnap in the same space-time continuum. missionhillcreamery.com.

New Cafe and a Podcast: Cat and Cloud

November 15, 2016

Why should you care that there’s another coffee shop in town? Well, for one thing, Cat and Cloud co-owners Jared Truby and Chris Baca are both award-winning baristas. (Yes, they won actual barista competitions). The two of them, along with third co-owner Charles Jack, opened Cat and Cloud a month and a half ago. Before that, they had been selling their coffee through an internet delivery subscription service (which they still offer). Oh, and they have a popular coffee-themed podcast, Cat and Cloud. Truby gave us the scoop on what makes Cat and Cloud the best place to get your next cup of coffee.

How is your approach to coffee different?

JARED TRUBY: I don’t think a lot of coffee roasters are doing it the way we are doing it. The way we roast coffee, it allows us to keep a lot of the flavors that are exciting, and balance it out in such a way that it’s really approachable—so everybody that comes into our shop can easily find a coffee that they love.

But is there room for another cafe in Santa Cruz?

We’ve seen a lot of cafes open because they serve “the best coffee” or have the “coolest-looking place.” There’s nothing lasting about something that looks or tastes cool. We needed to have a place where people could come together and be a community. I could talk to one person and Starbucks is the best coffee. Some will say that Verve coffee is the best they ever had. My job isn’t to make them right or wrong. My job is to make them say, “I feel better, and more supported, and I feel in tune with my community when I go to Cat and Cloud than I do at these other places.”

What do you talk about on your podcast?

It’s honestly just a platform. There is almost no agenda in that we just talk about coffee and our experiences. People write in and we answer their questions. We’ll interview people and talk about their experiences. Chris and I have been in the coffee community for the past 15 years. There are a lot of coffee theories on the internet. It’s great to be able to tell people what’s true and what’s not. I recently did the podcast with a guy from Honduras. We talked about importing coffee. People worldwide are listening to it. We have 30,000 listens a month, and more. It’s an outlet for Chris and I to be honest about the things we believe in, while having conversations with others.

Odonata’s Organic Pinot

Denis Hoey’s Odonata wines just get better and better. His 2013 Pinot Noir is simply gorgeous, and awash with bold flavors of woodsy spice and forest floor. Earthy aromas matched with black cherry round out this elegant Pinot. “This is textbook Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir both in complexity and flavor,” says winemaker Hoey. “This wine will age for many years to come.”

Grapes are harvested from Falcon Hill Vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains which Hoey refers to as “my estate.” “I am in full control of growing practices in this vineyard,” he says. “I farm this vineyard organically—it is the core of the winery’s Pinot program.”

I tasted this Pinot ($38), along with several other Odonata wines, at a Route 1 Farms in Santa Cruz, where farm owner Jeff Larkey hosts an impressive Summer Farm Dinner Series with guest chefs and winemakers. Kendra Baker of Assembly prepared incredible food for this particular dinner, and Hoey poured his Falcon Hill Pinot to go with a main course of grilled pork loin and vegetables served with tender gnocchi and roasted beets. All four courses, paired with elegant Odonata wines, were spectacular, ending with a fromage blanc tart with caramelized apples and gold raspberries that was out of this world.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, Hoey’s Pinot would be a beautiful wine to pair with pork, traditional roast turkey—or whatever else you may be serving up.

Odonata has two tasting rooms, so take your pick—and check the website for opening times at odonatawines.com.
