One of the shattering innovators of the mid to recent '60s, Young fashioned a classifiable modal approach to the Hammond B-3 at a clip when Smith's earthy, blues-drenched soul-jazz stylus was the instrument's dominant voice. Initially, Young was very much a Smith champion himself. After playing with versatile R&B bands in the fifties and organism featured as a sideman with tenor saxman Jimmy Forrest in 1960, Young debuted as a leader that class with Testifying, which, like his subsequent soul-jazz efforts for Prestige, Danton True Young Blues (1960), and Groove Street, (1962), left no doubt that Smith was his elementary inspiration. But when Young went to Blue Note in 1964, he was well on his way to becoming a major groundbreaker. Coltrane's post-bop influence asserted itself more than and more in Young's playing and composing, and his fashion grew practically more than cerebral and explorative. I, recorded in 1965, cadaver his best-known album. Quick to embracement fusion, Young played with Miles Davis in 1969, John McLaughlin in 1970, and Tony Williams' groundbreaking ceremony Lifetime in the early '70s. Unfortunately, his ferment off mismatched and temperamental as the '70s progressed. Young was only 38 when, in 1978, he checked into the hospital hurt from stomach striving, and died from untreated pneumonia.

REVIEW: WALL-E (U)
WALL-E (Waste Allocation Load Lifter – Earth Class) is the last robot left on earth, and his job is to gather up trash and compact it into cubes; he’s built a whole city out of the centuries of crap that the humans left behind.
WALL-E may have got a little bit human and a tad eccentric over the years - he collects the odd things he finds (Rubik’s cubes, nodding dogs, rubber ducks) - and despite having a chirpy cockroach for company, he’s a little lonely. His guilty pleasure at the end of the day is to watch 60’s musical Hello, Dolly! over and over again.
One day his work is interrupted when a huge spaceship lands and releases a bullet-shaped white robot. WALL-E falls head over heels in love, and whilst EVE is amused by him, she isn’t very interested in his collection of rubbish - until he shows her his very latest find; a tiny plant.
On seeing this, Eve beams it into her storage space and powers down, for she is an Extra-Terrestrial Vegetation Evaluator. Nothing WALL-E can do will spark her back to life and when the spaceship returns for EVE, the lovesick WALL-E grabs on for the ride as they speed towards the space cruiser 'Axiom', the home for humans since they left earth. Now entirely dependent on robots and doing nothing but eating, buying stuff and watching TV, humans have evolved into fatties.
The adventure really begins when WALL-E sneaks on board; what does the Captain (Jeff Garlin) want with the plant? Will WALL-E ever get back to earth, can he make EVE hold his hand (or should that be grab his grabber?) and can this futuristic pair and their malfunctioning friends save the day?
Pixar movies are pretty much the gold standard for animation films today, and WALL-E does not disappoint. Coming from the same writer/director who bought us other gems such as Finding Nemo, Toy Story and Monsters, Inc, WALL-E may actually be at the top of that heap, and maybe second only to (Pixar’s) The Incredibles in recent memory.
It’s the excellent storytelling aspect of WALL-E that helps it hit such heights; the script is tight as a drum, the jokes are well observed and witty, and they come at a regular pace.
Not only that, the premise of a ruined world and lazy humans obsessed by consuming of all kinds is one of the starkest examples of social commentary – without ever feeling shoehorned-in – that I’ve seen in any movie; who would have thought it?
It’s a charming and touching story too; both EVE and WALL-E (who is part 'Number 5' from Short Circuit with a dash of E.T. and even a touch of meerkat) held the audience’s hearts and minds throughout; not bad for characters that only say a few words! Kudos to the voices behind them (Ben Burnit and Elissa Knight, respectively). Also, the choice of Hello, Dolly! (starring the UK’s very own Frank Spencer-turned-musical-star Michael Crawford) was almost genius; its effect on WALL-E (and us) is surprisingly effective.
At around 100 minutes long it’s just about perfect (as opposed to the bloated Potter/Narnia epics) and it’s a real treat for both adults and kids. Hugely enjoyable!

Cheech Marin returns Chicano arts movement to Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES - Far out, man! Nearly 50 pieces from the collection of Cheech Marin are on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and there's not a bong, water pipe or roach clip in sight.
Although best known as the shorter half of that enduring pothead comedy team Cheech and Chong, there is another, less public side of Marin - that of serious collector and arts patron.
Now, after years of on-again-off-again negotiations, he has succeeded in achieving a dream he carried for more than a decade: to bring the works of such pioneering artists as David Botello, Diane Gamboa and John Valadez back home to a major museum in the city where the Chicano arts movement was born some 40 years ago.
"That's been my struggle, to have these Chicanos be recognized as fine artists," says Marin as he sits in a quiet LACMA gallery on Wilshire Boulevard's "Museum Mile," admiring Margaret Garcia's stunningly colourful impressionist work, "Janine at 39, Mother of Twins."
Dressed casually in a pullover shirt, jeans and tennis shoes, he smiles graciously and offers a soft-spoken but heartfelt thank you when a museum-goer approaches to compliment the exhibition. He had to fight hard to get the show into a first-class museum, he says.
"The museum world kind of wanted to write them off as agi-prop folk artists," Marin says, gesturing toward a gallery filled with works by Carlos Almaraz and Chaz Bojorquez, two of the founders of the Chicano arts movement. "I'd go, 'No, no.' These are fine artists. These are really great painters who have developed past that stage."
The exhibition "Los Angelenos, Chicano Painters of L.A.: Selections From the Cheech Marin Collection" consists of works mostly drawn from Marin's personal collection of nearly 400 pieces. It runs until Nov. 2.
The oils, pastels, acrylics and mixed media span pretty much the entire Chicano arts period, from its nascent beginnings when Almaraz began drawing posters for Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers movement to the present day.
"When Chicano art first began emerging, it was very much part of a civil rights struggle during the late 1960s and early 1970s," says Howard Fox, LACMA's curator of contemporary art. "All of these first-generation Chicano artists were about establishing in the mind of the audience and their colleagues, as well as the art world at large and American mainstream society, that they even existed."
As the movement has continued to develop, struggles and issues of self-identity remain a key focus, as reflected in the work of the youngest artist represented at the exhibition, 30-year-old Vincent Valdez.
Among his works are "Kill the Pachuco Bastard," a chilling piece of impressionism that documents one of Los Angeles' darkest periods, the zoot suit riots of the early 1940s, when gangs of roving white sailors beat Hispanic and black youths while police officers stood by and watched. Hanging next to it is Valdez's "Nothin' to See Here, Keep on Movin'," inspired by last year's May Day protests at which Los Angeles police attacked immigration rights activists and reporters.
"It was intended to be a link to the next generation, to look back and say this isn't something brand new in the United States," Valdez said.
Not all Chicano art is impressionistic, however. Another of the most heralded pieces is the abstract "Ano Loco XIV92/Por Dios y Oro ("Crazy Year 1492 for God and Gold") by Chaz Bojorquez, a former graffiti tagger whose work was considered so out there when he arrived on the scene that it was initially shunned by the Chicano arts movement.
"I had to show it in Hollywood the first few years with the Robert Williams crowd," he says of the so-called "Lowbrow" art movement Williams popularized in the 1970s.
Bojorquez credits Marin with doing more than anyone to legitimize not only his work but that of every other Chicano artist who came before or after him.
For his part, the 61-year-old actor-comedian, who has been featured in movies and TV series such as "Nash Bridges" since splitting with comedy partner Tommy Chong in the 1980s, says he came upon his role as arts patron accidentally.
Fascinated by paintings since childhood, Marin recalled going to the library to study art books at age 10 or 11. Later, he haunted museums.
"I'd get close to the paintings and have the guards yell at me. You know, "'Hey kid! Don't touch the paintings!"' he recalls with a laugh.
"But I touched them anyway," he adds conspiratorially. "I was fascinated with them."
He was collecting art nouveau and art deco in the 1980s when he discovered Chicano art.
"What immediately resonated was not just the images, which is, 'Oh, hey, this is about me and this is about my culture, about everybody I know,"' says the Mexican-American son of a Los Angeles police officer. "What resonated was I recognized them as great painters."
Great painters, he discovered, whose work was going largely unnoticed. It was mostly being displayed at places like Mexican restaurants while popular neo-expressionists of the time, such as Julian Schnabel and Keith Haring, were getting all the gallery space.
Marin saw an inequity.
But it was no easy task to change that inequality. Numerous museums, including LACMA, initially turned down his proposals for exhibitions.
"Even in the Chicano academic world, the attitude was, 'What ... is this doper going to tell us?"' Marin says of a typical reaction. "What's he going to have? A picture of a big joint?"'
But he persevered, launching "Chicano Visions: American Painters on the Verge" in 2001 with the help of several corporate sponsors. It travelled to more than a dozen cities around the United States, including St. Louis, Minneapolis and Indianapolis.
In bringing it back home, Marin decided to narrow its focus slightly, spotlighting only artists from Los Angeles.
After the show closes here, he hopes to put on another that will travel to Japan, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere.
"It would have been very easy for this whole generation of artists to pass by unnoticed and be rediscovered 80 years from now," he says, explaining his efforts. "But I couldn't stand around and see that being done. These guys are just too good."

Ed Westwick: Gay Rumors Are �Amusing To Us�
‘Gossip Girl’ star Ed Westwick has responded to rumors doing the rounds that he and co-star Chase Crawford are more than just friends, saying that the cast are becoming accustomed to dealing with “amusing” rumors such as these.
“I just laugh them off,” Westwick told People magazine about the rumors questioning the nature of his and Crawford’s relationship.
“What are you going to do? People who know me and Chace and the cast know that we are all great friends. And that’s the extent of it all. Those things that go around are just amusing to us, really.”
Westwick, who celebrated his 21st birthday on Friday night (June 27) at Tao Las Vegas, also revealed that upcoming ‘Gossip Girl’ scenes will be filmed at the beach; viewers can expect “debauchery and warm weather”, he adds.

Under the gifted wingspread of Jeff Caudill (aka Jeff Gameface), Gameface has been actively playing and touring out of Orange County, CA, since the early '90s. Caudill's talent spreads beyond the vocals and guitars that pencil lead the band and the lyrics he writes for Gameface into providing the underwrite designs, picture taking, nontextual matter, layout, and art for oodles of other bands.
Gameface, having been around for over a full decade, has chosen to stay with sounds that work for them, sooner than trying to copy the a la mode combinations out. Yet it has managed to combine some of the topper elements of emo, pop, hard-core, and punk. Their catchy melodies diffuse with a heartfelt, honest stone modality that retains the wild and favorable indie intelligent.
In 1995, Dr. Strange released the band's self-titled EP, on with the band's first full album, Three to Get Ready. Two albums, Reminder and Good, came out to first-class reviews in 1997. Dr. Strange likewise released Cupcake, a melancholy EP that clay a favourite. By 1999, the lot had played five major U.S. tours and one in Europe, and sign-language on with Revelation Records. Every Last Time came out in 1999, followed by What's up Bro (a split with Errortype: 11) in 2000. Also in 2000, Revelation released Always On, the group's number 1 full-strength tilt & roll that didn't include a draw of punk. Firefly Recordings in England released a five-track EP, Feels a Lot Better, in 2001. The EP includes various songs from Always On in addition to covering versions of Elvis Costello's "Daily I Write the Book" and Morrissey's "Sing Your Life," plus an acoustic track from Caudill's solo cast, the Way Back.
The bandmembers prefer to run live for if they can't reproduce a sound live, and so they don't need to record it. In May 2001, Guy Julian (bass) linked the card, adding a new layer of playfulness to Gameface's playing.
