☆ ‘The Last Quiet Place’ by Ingrid Laubrock Review: A Jazz Sextet’s Outsize Sound
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Martin Johnson | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +1 min

Perhaps emblematic of complicated economic times, jazz musicians are doing more with less these days, especially when it comes to midsize ensembles. Drummer Tomas Fujiwara , guitarist Mary Halvorson , trumpeter Adam O’Farrill and saxophonist Anna Webber all lead midsize bands that are unusually expansive in their sound. Saxophonist and composer Ingrid Laubrock , a sometime collaborator of Ms. Halvorson’s, follows in this lineage with her new recording, “The Last Quiet Place” (Pyroclastic). Ms. Laubrock, who is 52 years old, chose her title after reading Elizabeth Kolbert ’s books “The Sixth Extinction” and “Under a White Sky.” The themes of global extinction and humanity’s impact on nature led Ms. Laubrock to consider ports of serenity, though they may be more internal than external. Although the saxophonist has participated in numerous sessions with performers who lean toward the softer side, the music here is lithe, sprawling and at times intensely spiky.

☆ Medieval monks' observations of the moon reveal unexpected
▼ + stars: | 2023-04-06 | by ( Katie Hunt | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +5 min

CNN —Medieval observations of the moon are helping present-day researchers study a mysterious cluster of volcanic eruptions on Earth. Monks, and other scribes from the era, made detailed descriptions of lunar eclipses, when the moon is fully in Earth’s shadow. Guillet believes medieval manuscripts contain an important source of information about a string of large but little-understood volcanic eruptions on Earth. These dates correspond with five major volcanic eruptions identified from traces of volcanic ash found in polar ice cores — in 1108, 1171, 1230, 1257 and 1276. “These eruptions were significantly more powerful than some of the most well-known volcanic eruptions in recent history,” Guillet said.

Sunt utilizate excavatoare pentru îndepărtarea nisipului și noroiul de la prova navei, în timp ce remorcherele sunt utilizate pentru a o muta. Șeful unei companii olandeze care asistă operațiunea a avertizat că ar putea dura câteva săptămâni până la deblocarea ambarcațiunii și că ar putea fi necesare ridicarea containerelor pentru a ușura încărcătura. Nava, care este operată de compania taiwaneză de transport Evergreen Marine, dar numită Ever Given este în prezent blocată pe diagonală pe calea navigabilă. „Ne cerem scuze sincer pentru că am provocat o mare problemă navelor din Canalul Suez și celor care intenționează să treacă prin canal", a adăugat aceasta.
