O
n Monday morning we all awoke to the tragedy that transpired in Las Vegas and the carnage that came from a result of a deranged man ďŹ ring upon concertgoers for no particular reason. But in the days that have followed, I feel like my fellow media members, speciďŹ cally across mainstream media are covering this disastrous event all wrong. Points that are irrelevant seem to be the chase and the topic of where this tragedy could lead in terms of gun reform or tighter security measures is the back burner. For starters, the rush to get the total tally of victims killed or injured is needed, but is there really a need to announce that this is a record number or the worst mass shooting in U.S. history? Turn on NBC, CNN, Fox doesn’t matter what station you’re a devotee of and you’ll get the same thing, that 50 dead is the worst since the Pulse nightclub attack in Orlando, worse than Sandy Hook, worse than San Bernardino. Here’s the thing: announcing the number of “record deadâ€? across the screen or static on a ticker like it’s an aspirational Guinness Book world record to eclipse only stirs the pot for the next Stephen Paddock (and trust me, he’s out there lurking), to sit in his basement while cleaning his modiďŹ ed AR-15 rie and think one thing. “Just 50? Shit, I can beat that.â€? Why the need to note that Paddock set a record? I could almost feel while I changed from channel to channel that it was a race to get to the number that would surpass Pulse to announce that Paddock is now not only an alleged martyr for ISIS, but a record holder of perhaps by far the worst record any human being could hold. And I can’t be the only person who feels this way. Another thing really irritating about the coverage of this event is yearning to ďŹ nd a motive for Paddock’s decision to become a domestic terrorist. News stations are parked outside his family’s home and badgering friends and known associates alike on what his motives
3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20
could have been for committing such a heinous act. What does his motive matter? What would his brothers – one of whom alleged he hadn’t talked to Paddock in over 20 years – know about motive or reason? Motive is for the cops to worry about. All the media should be reporting on is that this crazed individual bypassed hotel staff and security, holed up in a high roller room and shot from the windows at innocent people enjoying a country music festival. That’s it. Look, I’ve watched enough crime dramas to not be naive to the fact that diving inside the mind of a killer is must-watch TV. But this isn’t about Stephen Paddock. Not even a little bit. It’s not about that this loser set the record for the most people killed by mass shooting in history. It’s about the little stories I’ve seen, the ones that get the least amount of time on the Nightly News of the victims. The children without mothers, the sisters without brothers, the off-duty cop diving on people and dying in the process. Media muscles should be exed to re-open debate about an archaic amendment that didn’t foresee the advent of M-16’s, AR-15’s and other semi-automatic weapons available for purchase with the click of a mouse. It didn’t foresee the NRA dumping dollars into the federal government via PACs and superPACs and thereby essentially have their hands on the sail as to the direction of which way gun reform goes. This tragedy has already started that debate, but it’s sad that it took the loss of so much life to again bring this to the forefront. As the gunman, Paddock is at the focus of this tragedy, but his story, background, motive or gruesome statistic shouldn’t be the epicenter of conversation. He’s not important. He proved that by taking his own life. What’s important is spending all that energy on imploring the federal government to revisit the second amendment altogether. Does that notion piss people off? Of course, it does. But I promise you it’ll also make for must-watch TV. Q

E G A V A S social posts Philadelphians aren’t the only ones riding the high of having our beloved Eagles in ďŹ rst place atop the NFC East. NBC Sports jumped on the Bird train late Monday night after the Redskins fell late Monday night with this post:
In case you missed it‌ While much of the focus in healthcare last week stemmed around the disaster that was the Graham-Cassidy bill and its effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, Congress dropped the ball – or not, depending who you ask – on a little known health plan called CHIP. Created 20 years ago, CHIP with provides kids from low income families with suitable coverage. As it stood at the time of this report, the plan had yet to be reinstated leaving close to 9 million children in the United States without health insurance. Here’s hoping this newsbite is incorrect by the time you read it. Q
Oh, and while we’re on the subject of health care‌
But they were only taking a cue from the savagery the Eagles social media crew put out after the Birds to 3-1 at the expense of the Los Angeles (still san Diego to us) Chargers on Sunday:

Smokers on campus? Maybe not for long Philly region colleges and universities are weighing the idea of going completely smokefree. Say goodbye to the “No Smoking Within 25 Feet Of This Door� signs — the ban that went into effect at Community College of Philadelphia last Spring was campus-wide, and now Temple, Cheyney, and Lincoln are looking to follow suit. Laura Siminoff, dean of the College of Public Health at Temple, told Philly.com that “if you do not start smoking by the age of 25, you are almost undoubtedly never going to become a smoker, and that one of the prime times for people to start smoking is, sadly and unfortunately, when they go to university.� Q

Culture clash BY ANDREA CANTOR
A
ccording to a study conducted by Association of American Universities in 2015, 11.2 percent of all college students face some form of sexual assault. So controversy inevitably came when U.S. secretary of education Betsy DeVos announced on Sept. 22 her temporary guidelines, under Title IX federal law, for how academic institutions should handle rape and sexual misconduct cases. Most noted of the new protocols that replaced the 2011 “Dear Colleagueâ€? letter is the amount of evidence a college needs to enforce disciplinary action: from “a preponderance of evidenceâ€? to “clear and convincing.â€? Needless to say, this rollback was the fuel behind a Sept. 29 march in Center City aptly called the “March to End Rape Culture.â€? “We think the intention of the rollback is to cause confusion,â€? said Tara Murtha, associate director of strategic communications at the Women’s Law Project. “What schools and students need right now is clariďŹ cation about how to adequately address sexual assault, not purposeful confusion. Title IX is

an education equity law. It is intended to allow students of any gender to fully pursue their education so in the last few years students have leveraged Title IX in their ďŹ ght to continue access to education in the wave of an allegation of sexual assault.â€? The March to End Rape Culture began at Thomas Paine Plaza where organizers ďŹ rst apologized for excluding members of the Jewish community by planning, in a scheduling oversight, the event on the fasting High Holiday of Yom Kippur. Following the apology, the event proceeded with a line up of speeches, accompanied by an ASL interpreter, from activists and sexual assault survivors. Speeches were followed by a two-mile march in the city streets, concluding back at the plaza for live DJ music. The March had a small counter protest that held signs reading “homos go to hell,â€? “feminists are whores,â€? and “you promote rape.â€? As retaliation, a group of marchers barricaded the counter-protestors and blew rape whistles and made other sounds to drown out what
they perceived as hate speech. “We have seen what our President is doing. We have seen where he has been dividing and basically marginalizing different communities even more. We just want to come together despite all of that,� said LaQuisha Anthony, an organizer of the March and CEO/founder of sexual survivors’ network V.O.I.C.E, Victory Over Inconceivable Cowardly Experiences. “Title IX is being stripped and that is a part of rape culture. It is an event where people can’t go to school and be safe. [If rape is not] investigated properly by their institutions then what does that say about the future of our country, the future of our education system?� While college-aged females were the primary demographic in attendance, the event also had older and male participants. “I think that there is a stigma that goes around that those who do not identify as cis-gender women can’t be sexually assaulted or raped,� said Temple student Tyrell Mann-Barnes, who spent his 21st birthday at the March. “I think
The tone of the event had an undeniable political angle. Overall, speakers and participants were outspoken against the current White House administration and touched on a number of intersectional reform issues. Nevertheless, the crux of the March was for emotional healing and solidarity. “As a rape victim myself, I think it extremely important that we let people know we are not, in any situation, ever at fault for being raped or sexual assaulted or harassed,â€? said Brooke Mead, another Temple student. “We are never asking for that to have been done to us. I think it is important to destigmatize what people think is ‘oh, they’re slutty’ or ‘they’re asking for what happened to them’ or ‘they should have dressed better.’â€? Despite the chilly day, a number of marchers wore minimal clothing in protest of the rhetoric that rape victims were attacked based on outďŹ ts. “This march was known as the ‘Slut Walk’ prior to us rebranding to make it more inclusive to all individuals. So many people are still representing themselves in that to say ‘this is my body and this is my choice,’â€? explained Anthony. “If someone walks down the street totally naked, nobody has a right to touch them.â€? With the day focused on the traumatic subject of sexual violence, therapists were available for pro bono consult in private tents, for those who just wanted to talk. “A lot of times when there is a big group of people talking about trauma, there can be something called â€˜ďŹ‚ooding,’ where you might feel overwhelmed or you might have some stuff come up that happened in your own family, in your life, or in a friend’s life,â€? said Julia Gottlieb, who works with a private practice in South Philly. “So we provide the tent so there is just a quiet place where you can sit down with a licensed therapist just for a brief period of time. We are here to remind people that mental health is very important.â€? While DeVos believes the guidelines even the playing ďŹ eld for alleged perpetrator and victim, Gottlieb explained that it makes an already hard situation even more mentally taxing. “The President – I don’t even what to call him that – the person who is in power, he is providing for this nation a reenactment of trauma,â€? argued Gottlieb. “What happens is a victim comes forward, or a survivor comes forward, and then they are not only denied, but also publically scrutinized. [Sadly], it becomes more about what that person is wearing or how that person physically appears [which doesn’t legitimize] the effort of speaking your truth.â€? Q TWITTER: @ANDREACANTOR9

ARTS I imagine there’s a big learning curve between writing about living figures and researching and developing a story about someone who’s been dead for nearly four decades. What attracted you to this particular biography? What was the biggest struggle for you in piecing together Elizebeth’s life? It’s not so different, really. Writing about the living, you have a notepad and a pen and a recorder, and you’re creating a kind of historical record as you go, as you talk to people. With the dead, it’s more constrained. There’s a ďŹ nite amount of materials to work with; all the crucial documents that will ever exist about that person, already do exist. And so your ďŹ rst job is just to ďŹ nd them. Find everything you can, all the paper, and get your head around that universe of paper, and then start to whittle it down into scenes and a story structure. You select the most important stuff, and add context, just like you do with stories about living ďŹ gures. Writing about Elizebeth Friedman was wonderful because she left behind such a rich personal archive, 22 boxes of letters and diaries and even her original code worksheets written in pencil on grid paper. COURTESY JASON FAGONE ON TWITTER/DEY STREET BOOKS
Jason Fagone author of “The Woman Who Smashed Codes.� features Elizebeth Smith Friedman playing the role of heroine.
Hero. Decoded
Philly-area author’s new book rescues the lost legacy of a Nazi-wrangling female codebreaker BY MAX MARIN or more than a decade, Philadelphia’s own Jason Fagone has been telling stories of the city and its mercurial characters. But in his third nonďŹ ction book, the former Philadelphia magazine writer digs into annals for an American-hero history with international reach. “The Woman Who Smashed Codesâ€? (Dey Street Books, $28) chronicles the life of Elizebeth Smith Friedman, a poet-turned-codebreaker who surreptitiously helped the FBI capture Nazis during World War II. Philly Weekly caught up with Fagone to talk about how he went from Philly to Friedman’s life.

2&72%(5
did you learn reporting on the ground here that you’ve taken with you into your bookwriting career? I never had a beat as a magazine writer here, so you’re right, I was moving from personality to personality. There are so many characters in Philly, and some are wondrous and some are malicious, and they all move in these different worlds, and as a reporter you’re entering each world for a bit and you have to get your bearings and get grounded. I think it probably taught me to be a bit agile, and also forced me to be more open-minded about the kind of person or subject that might develop into a decent story. My ďŹ rst book grew out of a Philadelphia magazine story about Wing Bowl. Wing Bowl is a world and a half. And now, with “The Woman Who Smashed Codes,â€? it’s more of a historical world that I’m exploring, a world of the past that still has some kind of relevance.
The biggest challenge there was trying to locate her records from World War II. Because when I got to the end of the 22 boxes, and read most everything that was there, I realized that there was this gap where World War II was supposed to be. The boxes didn’t have any ďŹ les from 1939 to 1945. And no one seemed to know where those ďŹ les were. And it was hard to ďŹ nd them. It ended up taking two years. Most of them are in the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, but the National Archives is a massive repository, and almost none of it is digitized. It’s like the warehouse at the end of “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.â€? The Ark is there, but you may never ďŹ nd it. But eventually I did ďŹ nd Elizebeth’s war records, and they told an incredible story.
I was pretty stunned to read that, after the war, then-FBI director J. Edgar Hoover essentially copped all the credit for Elizebeth’s Nazi-wrangling code work. He had the gall to go on a publicity tour. Did anyone outside of the intelligence community know about this, or are you breaking the news here that Hoover was a valor thief? I think it’s news for most people – it certainly was to me. The standard narrative of Hoover is that for all his horrifying personal qualities and vendettas, at least he was pretty good at hunting Nazis. There are all kinds of books that credit Hoover and the FBI for stopping Nazi spies from invading the Western Hemisphere during World War Two. But it’s largely a myth. The FBI would have been lost
without Elizebeth. They didn’t know how to break codes. She did. And there was no way to map the Nazi spy networks without codebreaking, because the networks were too complex and widespread, and the spies were too clever. You couldn’t catch them using old-school FBI tactics; you needed to almost literally read their thoughts, which is what Elizebeth and her team did. They monitored about 50 Nazi radio circuits, solved 4,000 encrypted Nazi messages, and fed the solved messages to Hoover’s FBI, and at that point Hoover could send agents in on the ground to arrest these guys and destroy the spy rings. And then, as soon as the rings were destroyed, Hoover went out in public and took the credit. This was totally in character for Hoover, by the way – he had a long history of denying credit to other intelligence and law enforcement agencies, which is why so many people in government hated him. But for Elizebeth, it meant that her role in the war was basically erased, because the codebreaking stuff was so secret, and she wasn’t allowed to talk about it. So I hope that this book can go some way toward correcting this wrong, and painting a truer picture of what really happened in the Secret War.
In the preface, you write that “The Woman Who Smashed Codesâ€? is both a love story and an adventure story, the latter of which does indeed bring up these immutable questions of national security. “What do people have a right to know? What must stay a secret and why?â€? – After spending three years absorbed in Elizebeth’s life, have you come any closer to something like an answer? There’s a tension between secrecy and disclosure in a democracy. That’s inherent – government needs to keep people safe, and it also needs to give people information to decide their own fates. One of the reasons I was drawn to Elizebeth, and to her husband too, is that they weren’t absolutists. When they were younger, there were times when they pushed for more secrecy, and then later, during the 1950s and the Red Scare, when they saw the government veering too hard in the direction of secrecy, classifying reams of documents that had no reason to be classiďŹ ed, they argued for more disclosure. The Friedmans never quite made peace with the power of the codebreaking institutions that they helped to build. They had doubts, resisted easy answers, and that’s part of the reason I love them.

Want a career in the circus? Attend this Mt. Airy institution and in three years and $45k later you could be well on your way.
Circus has come to town... and it’s offering degrees America’s first state-licensed circus school opened in Mt. Airy BY ANDREA CANTOR
M
t. Airy’s new circus school is providing aspiring performers a tightwired path toward a career in circus arts. But you won’t ďŹ nd these students crammed in a tiny car or under a red and white tent. Instead, the students of Circadium School of Contemporary Circus, the United State’s ďŹ rst vocational state-licensed circus school, can be found ipping through the air on silks, riding on unicycles, and juggling rings and clubs at the former St. Madeleine Sophie Church on 6452 Greene St. “[The] American circus model is very bright colors, sparkles and sequins, people ying out of cannons, and bright clown makeup. There is a lot of traditional imagery that goes along with American circus,â€? said Shana Kennedy,
3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20
the executive director at Circadium. “Those circuses still exist, and they are an important part of our culture and our legacy. But there is a movement of contemporary circus, which is circus with a different aim and a different model.â€? Contemporary circus’ different aim is less pandering and more artistry. According to Kennedy, the theatrical and dance based art form has a large demographic in Europe and Canada. While America was ďŹ rst introduced to this more avant-garde form of circus with Cirque du Soleil, a company that her husband Greg Kennedy juggled with for four years, there is a “missing linkâ€? for smaller companies to be successful in the US — namely, higher education. In its ďŹ rst year, the Circadium has 11 ďŹ rst year students. The three-year program has a
rigorous curriculum of 35-to-40 hours of study a week. A good majority of the time is spent on technical circus arts as well as dance and theatre. Approximately ďŹ ve hours of the week are carved out for academic study in music, history, and business. “The goal is that they will spend three years to cultivate themselves as artists and they will graduate and go on to audition for companies or form their own companies,â€? said Kennedy, who went abroad at 19-years-old to study in British circus school. “The presenters who want to bring shows to the audiences are seeing contemporary circuses, they are excited about it, but they don’t have the artists here available to do it,â€? explained Kennedy, who said bringing in pre-established companies overseas is too expensive. “In the meantime, our American students, the circus students who want to do this kind of work, travel overseas, because that’s where the schools are, and that’s where the work is.â€? The former church also houses Kennedy’s other business, the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts (PSCA), designed for children and adults who want to practice circus arts for â€œďŹ tness and fun,â€? but are not looking to obtain a degree. PSCA opened in 2008 at the corner of Rittenhouse and Greene. But in 2013, after speaking with other members of the circus community, Kennedy decided to start the process of beginning a higher education program in circus arts and the eventual move to larger venue. In the past ďŹ ve years, Kennedy has been adapting to her leadership role within the contemporary circus community. “For the ďŹ rst time this summer we had a circus conference through the National Endowment for the Arts. They are interested in supporting circus as a living, breathing art form in the US. But they never really thought of it that way before, it was mostly like a carnival-esque type business model,â€? said the former freelance performer, now instructor and administrator. “So to say that actually this is really an art form that deserves cultivation that deserves support is a real change in direction. We’ve seen it happen in other countries, and now we see it happening here.â€? As of now, the tuition at the Circadium runs students $15,000 a year for the threeyear program. Only one student is from the Philadelphia area, eight from around the nation, and two international. The students rent apartments, since the school does not afford student housing. Kennedy expects more international students to come in the next couple of years due to current interest from prospective students. Kennedy also anticipates that more circus schools will follow suit with offering state-certiďŹ ed degrees in the near future. “It’s not going to happen overnight,â€? afďŹ rmed Kennedy. “But we think the long-term potential here is to shift the American public’s views of circus to away from some of the Ringling Brothers visuals into a richer tapestry of what circus can be.â€?

Four days of fear Philly organizations say latest ICE raid was made to put immigrants ‘in their place’ BY SABRINA VOURVOULIAS Last week, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement released information about the arrests of 498 undocumented persons as part of “Operation Safe Cityâ€? — an initiative which ICE itself admits was meant to target so-called Sanctuary Cities, like Philadelphia. “ICE’s goal is to build cooperative, respectful relationships with our law enforcement partners to help prevent dangerous criminal aliens from being released back onto the streets. Non-cooperation policies severely undermine that effort at the expense of public safety,â€? said Tom Homan, acting director of ICE. In a nutshell, a Sanctuary City, like Philly, is where local law enforcement does not fulďŹ ll ICE’s request for a detainer or immigration hold unless there is a judicial warrant to back it up.
2&72%(5
During the four day operation, 107 people were picked up in Philadelphia. Targeted communities, according to immigrant advocacy sources, were primarily communities of color, including the Indonesian community in South Philly, the Brazilian community in Northeast Philadelphia, and the Latino communities in both South and North Philadelphia. “It feels retaliatory,� said Peter Pedemonti, executive director of the New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia. “Under Trump’s administration [the raids have] escalated, and our members feel that they are doing this to divide people. Since [Sanctuary City] protections were a victory won by immigrants of color, this is intended to ‘put them in their place.’� The South Philadelphia immigrant group Juntos is even more blunt about the racial nature of the targeting. “Operation Safe City can only be described
Immigration officers like this one geared up in a raid throughout Philadelphia last week that, once the dust settled, led to the arrest and detainment of 498 people. as a deliberate retaliation against cities and communities who refuse to cooperate with a racist, xenophobic and white supremacist administration in violating people’s rights,â€? read a statement released by the organization on Sept. 29. “Philadelphia felt the brunt of this retaliation by having the largest number of people disappeared in the country, with 107 people picked up in four days, more than any other ICE ofďŹ ce in the country.â€? “Operation Safe Cityâ€? is also a misnomer according to many of those who work with immigrants in Philadelphia and nationally. “Public safety is a local issue,â€? said Erika Almiron, the executive director of Juntos. Sanctuary City protections, she said, actually help reduce crime. Police chiefs around the nation agree with her. According to a March 2017 L.A. Times commentary by Chuck Wexler, the executive director of the Police Executive Research Forum: “In reality, sanctuary cities are hardly sanctuaries for any criminals. Because of the trust and cooperation they have developed with undocumented immigrants, police in
these cities are often able to identify, arrest and prosecute dangerous offenders who might otherwise still be on the streets victimizing residents.â€? “Let’s be clear. ICE has no interest in ‘safety,’â€? read the New Sanctuary Movement statement released late Friday. “ICE is trying to demoralize our communities and to normalize terror as the state of our lives.â€? Juntos’ statement, pointed questions of safety back at ICE: “Public safety is about all of us being safe from the hands of Trump’s criminalization machine,â€? it read, “and cannot be deďŹ ned by ICE agents who knock down the doors of our homes with guns and drag people out in front of their children.â€? “One local family reported that ICE raided their home wielding guns in front of several children, interrogating one of their daughters without parental consent and proceeded to ďŹ ngerprint everyone in the household,â€? the statement alleged. “Some who were handcuffed and removed were described as ‘collateral damage,’ meaning they had no reason to be detained other than being immigrants and are the victims of an agency and political climate that terrorizes and tears apart families with Gestapo style tactics in the name of public safety.â€? Out of the 498 apprehended via Operation Safe City, ICE has identiďŹ ed 68 of them as “immigration fugitivesâ€? and 104 of them as “previously deported criminal aliens,â€? which — despite the sensationalized phrasing — makes immigration their violation. Pedemonti spoke briey to PW about one of the arrests that took place in the Indonesian community: “[The man] had an expired visa, that’s it, no interaction at all with the criminal justice system.â€? He was apprehended as he arrived at work, and was quickly transported up to York County Prison (where ICE detains those it arrests in the Philadelphia area). According to Msgr. Hugh Shields, the pastor of St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in South Philadelphia where most of the Indonesian community resides, the arrest has unsettled the community. “There are lots of rumors in the community that ICE is trying to ďŹ ll quotas so that they’ll receive the budget they’ve requested,â€? he said. “Members of the community feel like pawns in a political game, and the bottom line is that people who are undocumented become [less and less secure]. It is creating a climate that is not reective of the values this country was founded on.â€? Despite the alarm the raids have raised, New Sanctuary Movement Community Organizer Cynthia Oka expressed conďŹ dence in the Indonesian community’s ability to weather the difďŹ culties. “The Indonesian people created a language to unite 300-plus tribes in the struggle against centuries of colonization,â€? she wrote in NSM’s statement. “We rebuilt a genuine, if imperfect, democracy from the ashes of decades of a military

dictatorship. My people survived riots. Mass killings. Displacements. Disappearances. My people know how to survive.â€? Father JosĂŠ Luis Queimado, C.Ss.R., who ministers to the Brazilian community at St. Martin of Tours Parish in Philadelphia, conďŹ rmed that a member of that congregation
There are reports of another undocumented immigrant, a Latinx, who was also apprehended at his workplace, this time in North Philadelphia, but most of the Philadelphia raids so far are reported to have taken place at private homes.
“Under Trump’s administration [the raids have] escalated, and our members feel that they are doing this to divide people. Since [Sanctuary City] protections were a victory won by immigrants of color, this is intended to ‘put them in their place.’� – Peter Pedemonti, executive director New Sanctuary Movement of Philadelphia
had been arrested by ICE during Operation Safe City. “His name is Luciano and we are trying to get him out of the prison. He is a very good person and attends our community actively,� Father Queimado said. “We keep praying for our struggling people who suffer a lot from the anxiety of being hunted like animals,� he added.
There are also reports from immigrant groups and grassroots advocates that home raids took place in King of Prussia on Sept. 27, and in Chester County during the fourday stretch of Operation Safe City. Q TWITTER: @FOLLOWTHELEDE

There is a lot of work being done behind the scenes to ensure jazz is a mainstay (and hopefully a thriving mainstay) in the city of Philadelphia.
[Where’s] all that Jazz?
Ars Nova Workshop and Philadelphia Jazz Project team in effort to answer burning question BY A.D. AMOROSI
Y
ou can say ‘jazz is dead’ until you’re blue (moods) in the face, but there are loud signals to the contrary. Walk Sansom Street on a balmy night: Time Cafe hosts nights with post-Bop vocalist Pete Gaudioso, and the Living Sample among others. While Chris Jazz CafĂŠ welcomes some of the biggest names in jazz like Kevin Eubanks, Jimmy Bruno BeneďŹ t and Pat Martino. Inside South, situated just outside Center City on North Broad St., Philadelphians Orrin Evans (of the Captain Black Big Band trio), Gerald Veasley and Leon Jordan bring the noise regularly. Cabarets like Dino’s Backstage often hold affairs with cool jazz trios. Union

Transfer’s biggest booking of 2017 thus far wasn’t alternative rock, but nu-jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington. All this, yet still, the question of jazz’s health value and progress in Philadelphia remains under question. “Jazz isn’t going away,� says Mark Christman of Ars Nova Workshop who celebrates jazz as a constantly evolving art form. “We’re presenting artists in continually larger spaces, connecting with new and younger audiences, and selling out more performances than before. We stay continually inspired by the history of this music, which is a history of resilience and ideas and triumph.� This upcoming fall season at the Workshop hopes to prove Philly jazz’s lifeline is taut and
mighty with adventurous programs and brisk audience attendance. While Homer Jackson’s Philadelphia Jazz Project just ďŹ nished its successful Coltrane birthday month of shows. Additionally, Jackson’s organization will celebrate the on-air anniversary of popular jazz station WRTI (90.1-FM) jock J. Michael Harrison highlighting 20 seasons as an emcee (Oct. 28) and welcome drummer Chad Taylor for the continuation of its Free Library Mysterious Traveler Concert Series. Bassist-composer Anthony Tidd – longtime curator of the Kimmel’s monthly jam session “Sittin’ Inâ€? – was named the artistic advisor for the Center’s Jazz department where he’ll support its Jazz Residency program and its SEI Innovation Studio bookings.
Then there’s Christman’s soon-to-be 18 year old, avant-garde curating-booking Ars Nova Workshop and its reach into multi-act festival promotion, October Revolution. The event – running Oct. 5-8 – will feature ďŹ rst-time suburban showcases with brand-name jazz-boss Bill Frisell and The Bad Plus at Ardmore Music Hall. Christman’s newest ights of fancy are admirable for a music so outrĂŠ. In 1964, trumpeter Bill Dixon pioneered a killer NYC festival called The October Revolution in Jazz. The festival featured many artists ultimately presented by Ars Nova and representative of its foundational curatorial focus, such as Sun Ra’s Arkestra who also plays 2017’s Oct-Rev with Tim Berne, David Torn,
3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20
Philly’s Moor Mother and more. “Namely musicians who interrogated and redeďŹ ned the conventions of jazz,â€? says Christman, who’s hosting legacy avant-garde acts who best rep Ars Nova’s philosophy and mission. Certainly the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Anthony Braxton are part of his ďŹ rst October Revolution and only sweeten the pie. “These are my heroes, the pioneers of the
coming and completely new concert series for the Kimmel along with the revitalization of the creative music scene as education within the school district falters and funding for the arts continue to fall. “My new role, [as] artistic advisor for jazz, is really an amalgamation which encompasses all the work that I’ve been doing to develop and provide opportunities for the jazz community: part education, part
“The weakness is that everyone tends to believe that their community is THE jazz community and little, if any collaboration or border crossing happens in a Balkanized universe. But I believe in diversity. It [has been the diversity of jazz] that has kept jazz from crashing and burning in on itself.� – Homer Jackson, Philadelphia Jazz Project
great American invention. We’ve always been committed to the post-Coltrane, post-AACM, post-Ornette continuums.� That Philadelphia’s Moor Mother Goddess (Camae Ayewa’s experimental power electronic-based pun-jazz) is part of that continuum is what keeps Christman going. “Free jazz to me is the beginning and its expansion,� said Christman, quoting Ayewa. “It is the chants on top of foot stomps and handclaps. It is the scripture over top of the choir. Free Jazz is what’s needed to travel. It is the sound of protest, of peace and of sorrow all at the same time. You cannot go to war without a drum, you cannot time travel, seek outer and inner dimensions without free jazz. Alice Coltrane music is a liberation technology, Sun Ra music is a liberation technology.� Bottom line? The free jazz movement and what it stands for is an important foundational force in both the work of Ars Nova and the work of Moor Mother. For the Kimmel’s Tidd – currently playing with saxophonist Steve Coleman for a Parisian residency before stopping in Italy, Germany, Finland, The Ukraine and Spain – the creation of “Sittin’ In,� seven years ago was in response to Philadelphia creative musicians needing a place where they could play and showcase their work. “I had been a part of various other Philly weeklies such as Black Lily [a project of The Roots] for four years and Back-2-Basics for two years, so I came from a tradition of putting together and participating in weekly nights, where our music community would gather regularly,� said Tidd. Though “Sittin’ In� began as a monthly jam, established bands picked up the gauntlet, and now the showcase “hovers� between set concerts and impromptu sessions depending on who Tidd books. “I like the unpredictability,� he jokes. While Tidd will continue keeping “Sittin’ In� versatile, his loftier mission is both a forth-
3+,/$'(/3+,$:((./< &20
programming, part community building, part marketing, etc.â€? Ask Tidd if he thinks the jazz scene is healthy and he thinks not. Yet. “There are only two jazz venues in a city, which for many around the world has been home to many great musical innovators,â€? said Tidd. “We have a fantastic new Coltrane mural, but the jury is still out on what to do with the Coltrane House...if anything. Mostly the same musicians get all the local performance and teaching gigs. Most of the funding goes to the same recipients. But, things are starting to turn around.â€? Tidd credits Ars Nova and the PJP with building jazz up and ďŹ ghting the good ďŹ ght and believes that his upstart Kimmel programming will further up the ante. Christman’s occasional scent of struggle and Homer Jackson’s pragmatism (who once noted that: “There is no real jazz infrastructure here to support one’s artistic, media or professional development and that can create a toxic environmentâ€?), aside, there is great strides and successes being made in the name of local jazz going forward. PJP is diligent in presenting the diverse possibilities of this music. The strength of the scene is that there is a diverse, non-centralized collection of jazz activities going at once, which can provide some opportunities, as well as signs of a reasonably healthy climate,â€? said Jackson. “The weakness is that everyone tends to believe that their community is THE jazz community and little, if any collaboration or border crossing happens in a Balkanized universe. But I believe in diversity. It [has been the diversity of jazz] that has kept jazz from crashing and burning in on itself. So, in my mind there is space and a place for everything‌ an unapologetic sense of beauty. A beauty that is just there... plain and simple. I really want to be open to that.â€? Q TWITTER: @ADAMOROSI

FASHION cal designers as well. What about these collections excited you? Kressley: Well, I always get excited by clothes no matter what, no matter where. But I think fall is the most exciting season, because it is a time that we reinvent ourselves. I think we are ready for the change; even though it is like 90-degrees today. I’m still wearing suede shoes and long sleeves, because I’m like, it’s fall! It’s such a great time and fall is such a great season for fashion, because it’s a season for layering. More is more. There is great outerwear, there is great denim, there is great footwear, suede, leather, and it is boot season. Summer
A lot of past seasons it has all been about the 70s and that Boho-chic, and now it’s more 60s and little bit more “Mad Men�.
So on the topic of Philly Fashion Week, what do you think about it? How can we raise the bar to get some of that New York pizzazz? Is there something that Philly fashion has that New York doesn’t? Kressley: Fashion has always been a big part of Philadelphia’s history. This was a textual hub. Institutions that specialized in fashion grew up around it. Philadelphia University,

is all about less is more, but I’m a more is more kind of guy so I love fall fashion.
After New York Fashion Week and now Philly Fashion Week, what kind of trends do you see coming for the fall?

mor and on-point fashion analysis. But before hitting the catwalk, PW asked the “Queer Eye� to look into his custom-made, fashion crystal ball to tell us about future trends as well as his past that led to a rise to fame via fashion.
You recently hosted Macy’s Center City Fashion Show that featured looks from a few lo-
Kressley: The trends that we are talking about today are kind of things that we have seen coming down the runways globally. But what Macy’s has highlighted is a trend called “Western Vibrations.â€? So that is kind of all things Americana and Western inspired, from chambray shorts to fringe to the cowboy boot, but that are reimagined in a more modern way. Instead of the traditional cowboy boot up to your knees, it’s a shorter, ankle bootie, but it has that Western air. Maybe it’s the leather jacket we were all rocking last fall, but now has fringe and is in suede or microďŹ ber suede. You want it to look modern and not costume-y. So the hat is not a cowboy hat, the hat is more of a hipster felt hat, and the boots are not a traditional cowboy boot, they are more of a metallic bootie. You can see that some of the bags have turquoise details. We’ve been seeing it in men’s wear with some of these shawl collar sweaters that have Native American blanket details. Ralph Lauren, Tommy HilďŹ ger, they have been doing some of that. [Macy’s] is also doing [a collection] called “Modern Museâ€? so this is more of a mod, 1960s kind of vibe, both from the silhouettes, the color palettes, and the prints. It’s deďŹ nitely that “Mod Squad,â€? bold 1960s geometrics, even that 1960s kind of color pallets of yellows, camels, teals, and baby blues. It’s oversized box silhouettes and some structured pieces. You’re going to see them from collections that they have here at Macy’s, like Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, INC, and DKNY.
which is now Jefferson University, started out as Philadelphia College of Textile, and it was a place where all of these textile companies said, “we need people who know how to do stuff with our textiles.â€? So they created a fashion and design school, and it has been here for practically 100-years. Still, to this day, they have one of the most amazing fashion programs ‌ They do amazing work. They create a student fashion show every year in May, and incredible designs come out of there. Also, Philadelphia has a strong history of designer brands that are here, like Lilly Pulitzer, Anthropology, and Urban OutďŹ tters. I think there is a lot of unique fashion, and I think what Philadelphia adds to the mix is that it is smaller, more artisanal, often times more creative style, because there are these smaller kind of companies here. It’s not the big, global Calvin Klein, Tommy HilďŹ ger, Ralph Lauren kind of brands.
With as being as immersed in Fashion Week as you were in both Philly and NYC, how did you manage to keep it all together? Kressley: I’ve been to New York Fashion Week, I’ve been to LA ďŹ lming, I’ve been to the Emmys, and I’ve been back. That’s kind of why I have no voice. It’s exciting. New York Fashion Week is like the Super Bowl of style. But I think coming to Philly, there are just as many interesting, creative, and talented people here doing their own thing. I think that is what is so great about fashion nowadays is that you don’t have to live in New York City, you can be in Philadelphia, and you have access to inspiration and production all over the world.

Bye Hef
An introspective look at how sex solidified a culture TIMAREE SCHMIT
I
f obituaries were simply a tally of the actions committed in a lifetime, it’d be easier to calculate the legacy of Hugh Hefner. Though he can be credited with signiďŹ cant cultural change, it’s difďŹ cult to weigh the impact of a man who, to paraphrase a friend, “could have died in 1982 and ultimately accomplished the same amount of good.â€? Hugh Hefner, the millionaire founder of the Playboy empire and father of four, died at home last Wednesday at the age of 91. His widow, 31-year-old Crystal Harris (the briefest of his three marriages), was never added to his will. This quickly encapsulates the gender dynamics he espoused in his lifetime. Hefner punched through puritanical ideas about sex, changed the landscape of publishing, and fully constructed a reality to ďŹ t his aspirations, but he did so by dangling poorlypaid, similarly-dimensioned women in front of men who aspired to replicate his sultan-like lifestyle. For every celebrity friend (Little Kim! Rob Lowe! Gene Simmons! The Weeknd! Tomi Lahren?!) who eulogized the loss of an incredibly kind human, there’s a story from a former employee or girlfriend about living under the tyranny of a man who proudly claimed he had liberated women. To tell the story of Hugh Hefner is to talk about women. Whether it’s a critique of his normalization of misogyny, a tribute to his iconic status, or an examination of his business acumen, women are integral to the story. Arguably it all started with one woman. His ďŹ rst marriage was at the age of 22 to his college sweetheart, Mildred “Millieâ€? Williams, with whom he had two children. It was this relationship that forever shaped Hefner’s approach to sexuality. The pair abstained from intercourse before marriage and she was his ďŹ rst lover. After the wedding, Hefner

Love him or hate him, for myriad reasons, it’s hard to deny that Hugh Hefner will always be remembered as a trendsetter. learned she had been unfaithful when they were engaged, while was away in the Army. Of the experience he said, “I had literally saved myself for my wife, but after we had sex she told me that she’d had an affair. That was the most devastating moment in my life. My wife was more sexually experienced than I was. After that, I always felt in a sense that the other guy was in bed with us, too.� This heartbreak inspired him to launch Playboy, a brand devoted to a bachelor lifestyle of faux-European sophistication and sexual liberation. Never again would “Hef� risk feeling betrayed by women, as long as they were objects to be collected, rather than humans with whom he shared genuine intimacy. This narrative arc is equal parts American Dream incarnate, Red Pill forum commentator, and cartoon villain backstory. The inaugural issue of Playboy in 1953 was wildly successful- in no small part to the cover model, Marilyn Monroe. It’s worth noting she had not consented to pose for the magazine and repeatedly begged Hefner not to use the images she had posed for in 1949, when she was an unknown, struggling actress. She had been paid $50 by the photographer who then sold the rights to Hefner for $500. He claimed
the publication was integral to her success, though Monroe says she only salvaged her career by publicly atoning for her participation in a series of groveling interviews. What of the women who made use of his platform to build their own? Pamela Anderson, Jenny McCartney, Jayne MansďŹ eld, Carmen Electra, Anna Nicole Smith and other notable beauties can thank Playboy for helping to launch their careers. Ironically, perhaps so can feminist Gloria Steinem whose groundbreaking article A Bunny’s Tale, an expose of her time employed as a Bunny at a Playboy club, remains a standard for undercover journalism. In the piece, Steinem detailed the problematic working conditions that included: requiring a gynecological exam for employment, rules against weight gain, emotionally abusive management practices that pitted women against each other, and never making the amount of income the job had advertised. Then there are women like Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson, who are famous mostly for having dated Hefner. Through his marketing power, it was possible to make millionaires of people lacking any demonstrable talents. For this they have expressed gratitude, albeit mixed with stories of dehumaniz-
ing treatment. Several former girlfriends have written about obligatory passion-less, mechanized orgies, strict 9 pm curfews, orchestrated strife between women, and ďŹ nancial domination. Former girlfriend Izabella St James wrote in her memoir Bunny Tales: Behind Closed Doors at the Playboy Mansion, about the weekly ritual of waiting in line for their $1000 allowance. “We all hated this process. Hef would always use the occasion to bring up anything he wasn’t happy about in the relationship,â€? and “He used it as a weapon.â€? Kendra Wilkinson told US Weekly, “I hate putting my hand out, but we couldn’t have jobs other than getting appearance fees.â€? What of Hefner, the civil rights activist, who pushed the sexual boundaries of mainstream culture? In a 2016 issue of Playboy (during the brief era in which the magazine decided to no longer publish nudes), Hefner wrote an article in which he declared victory for freedom over conservativism, citing the failure of Ted Cruz’s campaign for Presidency and the legalization of same-sex marriage. “We have already won those battles, and we will win them again,â€? he said, “These are the ďŹ nal skirmishes of a retreating army of selfappointed moral authorities who have been defeated again and again for the past ďŹ ve decades. Americans have rejected these religious fanatics and fought to protect women’s rights, reproductive rights and our right to privacy rather than submit to their Christian view that sex exists for the sole purpose of procreation.â€? Upon the execution of his will, charities will beneďŹ t from his amassed fortune, as he gave generously in life. An early champion of racial integration, reasonable drug policies, ďŹ rst amendment and LGBT rights, libertarian Hefner always seemed to align with social justice movements that had direct beneďŹ ts to his sybarite lifestyle. It only makes sense he would campaign for contraceptive and abortion access, since, as several former girlfriends have stated, he refused to wear condoms. What will be the legacy of this very human legend? For every young man inspired by the Playboy ethos and aided by the advice columns, there is undoubtedly a woman who stared dejectedly at her own body in a mirror, bemoaning her failure to ďŹ t the narrow beauty standards normalized by the magazine. For each sexual taboo that was shattered, some rigid sexist or capitalist totem was reinforced. Hefner’s is a legacy that will continue to be crafted, as our ideas about sex and gender evolve. One thing that is sure: thanks to a $75,000 plot purchase he made in the 90s, Hefner’s body will be interred next to that of Marilyn Monroe, a woman he never met. It’s the perfect summation of the man forever motivated by a desire to be in proximity to (but not genuinely connected with) iconic women. Q TWITTER: @TIMAREE_LEIGH

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING: “Buying and Selling a house is one of the most stressful passages
in life. You expect an agent with a vast knowledge of the market, someone with a proven record of success. You expect world-class negotiating skills. What you don’t expect is honesty, patience, creativity kindness and the tenacity to stick with you even if it’s a tough sell. Kathy and Pat Conway are all of those things and more. We wouldn’t consider selling or buying again without them.� - John & Jax Lowell
