St. Louis native David Martyn Conley is showcasing his second film, Tapestry of Shadows, May 26th and 27th at the Scottish Rite Cathedral in St. Louis.

The film, shot entirely in and around St. Louis with a local cast and crew, first debuted twelve years ago as a stage play at David's alma mater, Lincoln University in Jefferson City, MO. The film was recently screened at both Lincoln and for invited clergy in St. Louis.

Tapestry of Shadows is the story of Vincent Purejoy, a preacher who is motivated to try and reclaim his inner city neighborhood from the thugs and drug dealers who have overrun it, and the sacrifices his wife and congregation must make along the way.

ESP-DISK, the premiere American avant garde record label of the sixties -- one of the most turbulently creative periods in music history - has returned to reclaim its rich legacy with a series of releases that include reissues of groundbreaking out of print albums from its extensive catalogue, exciting previously unreleased live sessions from its vaults and new recordings that follow in its great tradition of presenting cutting edge modern musicians under the banner of "The artists alone decide …" The latest collection of compact discs from the company is comprised of re-releases (of) three important free jazz dates by Giuseppi Logan, Henry Grimes and Milford Graves from the label's glory days, digitally remastered and attractively packaged with reproductions of the records' striking original art work and reminisces (reminiscences)from label founder Bernard Stollman, along with the debut record plus a heretofore unheard early live session from the pioneering psychedelic folk rock band The Holy Modal Rounders, and a brand new cd from the potent contemporary power trio Totem>.

The earliest of this latest group of discs marked the first recorded appearance(of) the adventurous multi-instrumentalist/composer Giuseppi Logan. On 1964's Quartet (ESP 1007) Logan plays alto and tenor saxophones, Pakistani oboe, bass clarinet and flute with a band that features future avant garde giants, percussionist Milford Graves and pianist Don Pullen (in his recording debut), and Bill Evans bassist Eddie Gomez on a rare "outside" session. Logan, a mysterious figure(,) whose life was marked by erratic behavior(,) and whose death remains unconfirmed, believed that "the main part of music is beauty" and that "it has to be done in a very simple way to get closer to your Creator," has been frequently maligned for his apparent lack of virtuosity (as)s a player, but his ability to express his feelings about the world around him through his horns and compositions are clearly evident in this recording, particularly on the melodically engaging "Dance of Satan" and "Bleecker Partita." The performances of the accompanying trio are also impressive and foretell their futures as important innovators, particularly Graves(,) who shines on the opening "Tabla Suite" and "Dialogue."

Remember how scared you were about going to school for the first time, wondering if the other kids would like you, if you'd make friends and would the teacher be nice to you?

Now as a parent you find your own child coming to you with these same concerns. Explaining to them that it will be a positive experience just got a lot easier with the award-winning video "My First Day at Preschool" starring Buddy Bear, which addresses the questions children have about school and what they can expect. It was produced in a real preschool using real teachers and students, not actors.
