    Sedona AZ News: Jazz lovers take note – Jazz impresario Jeff Kashiwa takes the Sound Bites Grill Celebrity Showroom stage on Saturday, November 5, from 7 to 9 p.m.
    Continuing its tradition of bringing only the best musical acts to the restaurant, Sound Bites Grill is proud to announce its hosting of one of the finest jazz musicians in the country.

    Kashiwa performed hundreds of shows all over the world and appeared on many of the band’s classic recordings.

After his decade long tenure with The Rippingtons, Kashiwa’s instincts led him to more dynamic endeavors through his solo career. 
    It surprised many when Jeff left the group to venture out on his own, but he had things to say through his own music.In 2004, Kashiwa founded The Sax Pack, a trio of saxophone headliners, featuring himself, Steve Cole and Kim Waters. 
    The group released three CDs together and charmed audiences with their Rat Pack style performances in tours across the U.S. and abroad. 
    In 2006, Jeff reunited with The Rippingtons for their 20th Anniversary Tour and continued to record and tour with the group until 2016. 
    In addition to touring with The Sax Pack and his own group, Kashiwa has expanded his career to include the realm of music education.
     
    Jeff 1He now teaches in the same school district where it all began, teaching various music ensembles and online Music Technology courses at Shoreline Community College in Seattle, Washington.
    This year Kashiwa released his 11th solo recording titled Sunrise. Featured on the CD are his band, Coastal Access as well as guest performances by Marc Antoine, Tom Schuman and Phillipe Saisse. 
    Kashiwa is in his 12th year as an Instrumental Ensemble and Music Technology instructor, and Department Chair at Shoreline Community in Seattle, WA.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
