Women in jazzstill face many barriers to success – newresearch

There are are relatively few female musicians in jazz. Recordings led by women formed only one-fifth of the top 50 albums NPR Music Jazz Critics Poll over2017 to 2019, and this seems to be a long-term trend: asurvey ofBritish jazz musicians in 2004 suggested 14% were female.

Rather than there being explicit barriers to entry,scholarly attentionhas focused on gender differences in preferences and socialisation: men seeing concerts as a male space, and male musicians more likely to be encouraged to continue following early experience of playing with others – particularly in terms of learning improvisation andtaking a solofrom a young age.

It’s a cliché that music is a meritocracy, in which success is seen to arise from a combination of talent and effort. If women are not present in jazz, it…

Orcas attack boats in Europe – Mágica Mistura を

These animals, which are known as “killer whales” but actually belong to the dolphin family, attacked boats on the coasts of France and Portugal – where the orcas even sank a vessel with five occupants, which were rescued in time.

In May, they had already damaged boats in the Strait of Gibraltar, which connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean.

The attacks have taken place against sailboats (which usually sail with the engine off and make no noise, which would normally scare the orcas) and fishing boats.

Animals have gone after sailboats and fishing boats – and have even sunk a vessel with five people

the glaring sun indifference upon a ship aground

the silent port.

The ship docked, but the passengers weren’t allowed home.

They waited for a decision from the mainland,

countless meetings by those who can’t swim.

They waited too for their name to be called next

by an illiterate, the Grim Reaper.

On a ship railing, a seagull watched

two older people pacing in their cabin

like lightly battered caged birds.

The pair married in February.

Now March, on their honeymoon,

after separate divorces ten years past.

A person riding a bike stopped, asked.

“Is there anything I can do for you two?”

The woman asked for a leaf;

The man wanted sildenafil.

Instead, they smiled and waved.

बारिश / Rain

Kaushal Kishore

जाने कौन से
दिल के गड्ढे रह गए हैं
भरने से,
जिनके लिए लौट आती है
यह बारिश
फिर फिर से…

🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️ 🌧️

Don’t know
which pits of the hearts
are yet to be filled,
for which the rain
keeps coming back
again and again…
