Sonic Café, that was the legendary tenor sax man Joe Henderson with Soulville to kick off our trip Back to the Jazz Club. It’s been awhile since we’ve visited, even though it’s just down the stairs to the basement here at the Sonic Café. Hey, I’m your host Scott Clark and this is episode 437. So yeah, this time the Sonic Café goes Back to the Jazz Club, as we present a great mix of mostly vintage jazz, with a couple of modern tracks tossed in along the way. Listen for Horace Silver, Anita O’Day with Just in Time, the Bobby Sanabria Big Band, the amazing Art Pepper, David Sanborn, Elise Trouw, with a great solo acoustic take on the Girl from Ipanema. Plus Sonny Stitt with the amazing Bennie Green on trombone, and ahh the list goes on. Oh and listen for piano man Bill Evans with his take on how jazz musicians can easily play rock, but rock musicians can’t play jazz, an interesting observation, followed by Bill playing what he calls the Twelve Tone Tune, I guess just to mess with rock folks a bit. So yeah, all that and more as the Sonic Café goes back to the jazz club, let’s dive in with Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers, this is Moanin’ and we’re the Sonic Café.

Revolutionary Heart, The Life of Clarina Nichols and the Pioneering Crusade for Women’s Rights
The life of Clarina Nichols and her work in the early women’s rights movement of the United States has been greatly overlooked. As one of the country’s first female newspaper editors and stump speakers, Clarina Nichols spoke out for temperance, abolition and women’s rights at a time when doing so could get a woman killed. Unlike other activists, she personally experienced some of the cruelest sufferings that a married woman of her day could know. In her pursuit for justice she traveled westward facing all of the challenges of being a single mother and a women’s rights activist of her day with good humor and resourcefulness. Clarina Nichols was portrayed by Diane Eickhoff in this Chautauquan style interview. We began when I asked Clarina about her childhood.

Clarina Nichols recommends “The Sexes Throughout Nature (Pioneers of the woman’s movement),” by Antoinette Louisa Brown Blackwell.

Noura Erakat is a Palestinian human rights lawyer and Rutgers University professor. In her address she focused on the ongoing campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza. As trained lawyer Erakat confronts the narrative that frames this as, quote, War. This is not a legal controversy, she says, there is no question that this is genocide; it is a political controversy. And she urged the nations who filled the auditorium to break their silence.
Before presenting her remarks at the United Nations, here is a clip from a recent interview on Democracy Now, where Noura Erakat is a frequent guest. Amy Goodman asked her about her diagnosis that the U.S. backed war on Palestine is expanding authoritarianism at home, right here - inside the U.S. with a boomerang effect.
You can find the video of Noura Erakat’s address at the United Nations on YouTube under the title: Today is day 585 of genocide. Prof. Noura Erakat's Urgent Plea at the UN

Have you ever thought about how random it seems that gold is worth, well, its weight in gold? This week’s guest on Sea Change Radio, Gustav Peebles, is an anthropologist and monetary policy expert at Stockholm University. He has not only wondered about the way human beings assign value to a particular element on the periodic table, he has pondered what it would look like if we we applied precious valuation to an element that really matters for our own survival, like atmospheric carbon. In his new book, co-written with Benjamin Luzzatto, “The First and Last Bank: Climate Change, Currency, and a New Carbon Commons,” Peebles lays out a novel, scalable way not to just dole out carbon credits, but to actually monetize the conservation of carbon waste. We discuss the fundamentals of a possible carbon banking system, and talk through just how such a concept might roll out.
