Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods. His \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/147854/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\">reporting\u003c/a> on police killings of people in psychiatric crisis was cited in amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court.\r\n\r\nAlex now enjoys mentoring the next generation of journalists at KQED.",

Rather than building tunes from the groove up, Mayhall is all about texture and the slow burn. One of my favorite tunes is the power ballad “Dum Dum,” which adds New York tenor saxophonist Chris Speed into the mix, whose simmering horn part never comes close to boiling over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many drummer-led ensembles making interesting music these days it’s silly to say an album doesn’t sound like a drummer-led project, but Mayhall shines a generous spotlight on his collaborators, particularly Parker, who delivers some of his most beautiful and mysterious guitar work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farewell to Oliveros\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, I wanted to bid farewell to a brilliant sonic explorer who spent many years in California. \u003ca href=\"http://paulineoliveros.us\">Pauline Oliveros\u003c/a>, the composer, tape music pioneer and founder of deep listening, died on Nov. 24 at the age of 84.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From her work as a founder of the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the early 1960s through to her teaching at UC San Diego and Mills College, she influenced countless musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her primary instrument was the accordion, and she taught several generations of musicians new ways of being and playing together, a practice she called (with her puckish sense of humor, since the name came to her while recording in an underground cistern) “deep listening.” Thank you Pauline, for all the music and all the wisdom.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He spent several years in Josh Haden’s alt-country/slow-core band Spain, but he’s just as likely to be found keeping company with jazz heavyweights like pianist Larry Goldings, Kneebody keyboardist Adam Benjamin, bassist Eric Revis, and guitarist Anthony Wilson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On “Tropes” he’s joined by similarly well-traveled \u003ca href=\"http://www.paulbryan.us\">bassist Paul Bryan\u003c/a>, who produced the album, and the consistently captivating \u003ca href=\"http://www.jeffparkersounds.com/no_flash.php\">guitarist Jeff Parker,\u003c/a> whose own recent album “The New Breed” keeps me coming back for more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to drums and percussion, Mayhall also contributes on various keyboards and piano, the instrument he used to compose the music. Maybe that’s why the album has such a spacious, unhurried feel to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"On the Ceiling\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/9zY77KOg6Zo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The opener, “On the Ceiling,” sets the chill mood, with Jeff Babko’s oozing keyboard work adding to the gummy feel. Rather than building tunes from the groove up, Mayhall is all about texture and the slow burn. One of my favorite tunes is the power ballad “Dum Dum,” which adds New York tenor saxophonist Chris Speed into the mix, whose simmering horn part never comes close to boiling over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are so many drummer-led ensembles making interesting music these days it’s silly to say an album doesn’t sound like a drummer-led project, but Mayhall shines a generous spotlight on his collaborators, particularly Parker, who delivers some of his most beautiful and mysterious guitar work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Farewell to Oliveros\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, I wanted to bid farewell to a brilliant sonic explorer who spent many years in California. \u003ca href=\"http://paulineoliveros.us\">Pauline Oliveros\u003c/a>, the composer, tape music pioneer and founder of deep listening, died on Nov. 24 at the age of 84.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From her work as a founder of the San Francisco Tape Music Center in the early 1960s through to her teaching at UC San Diego and Mills College, she influenced countless musicians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her primary instrument was the accordion, and she taught several generations of musicians new ways of being and playing together, a practice she called (with her puckish sense of humor, since the name came to her while recording in an underground cistern) “deep listening.” Thank you Pauline, for all the music and all the wisdom.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Their children stayed with Almena's family until June 2016, Boudreaux said. She said she spoke to their youngest child shortly after the split.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He got on the phone and he said 'I love you,' and I said 'I love you too,' and he said, 'Thank you for getting us out of the scary warehouse.' I’ll take those words to my grave. That kid knew, at 3 years old, he knew that that was not, it wasn’t OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he wouldn't get out of the place permanently and was reunited with his parents in the warehouse last June.

Can I just say I'm sorry?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked if he should be held accountable for the disaster, Almena — who has been accused of failing to correct unsafe conditions — said, \"What am I going to say to that? ... I can barely stand here right now.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further questions from the hosts about the possibility of criminal charges seemed to agitate Almena, who ultimately said:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm an honorable man. I'm a proud man. I'm not going to answer these questions on this level. I'd rather get on the floor and be trampled by the parents — I would rather let them tear at my flesh than answer these ridiculous questions.[contextly_sidebar id=\"yeSmvPD7gUMkeFUVS3QExJrl2tTEbdrC\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm so sorry,\" he repeated. \"I'm incredibly sorry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can watch the entire interview \u003ca href=\"http://www.today.com/news/oakland-warehouse-manager-derick-almena-anguished-today-show-interview-t105643\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire started late Friday night at a dance party at the Ghost Ship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Survivors recounted having to struggle to escape the burning warehouse, where many of the victims were on a makeshift second floor served by a rickety staircase of wooden pallets,\" The Associated Press reports. \"Visitors described the structure as a warren of scrap wood, sofas, old pianos and electrical cables.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities have confirmed 36 fatalities, 26 of whom have been identified. One victim was 17; the others ranged in age from 22 to 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past three years, Almena leased the building in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood and in turn offered smaller leases to residents. He ran an artists' collective out of the structure, which wasn't zoned for residential use. The AP reports that the warehouse had been under investigation by local building inspectors starting last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An artist who survived the fire told NPR that Almena and his partner, Micah Allison, were supportive of her work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were family. It wasn't just a place for cheap rent or a place that you could make art. It was a village,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/05/504467106/oakland-warehouse-fire-survivor-we-were-a-family\">she said\u003c/a>. \"It was a community of people. We looked out for each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Almena has been sharply criticized by others. After the catastrophic fire, he posted a message on Facebook that read in part, \"Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound.\" It didn't mention fatalities or injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have accused Almena of having a callous attitude toward the safety of residents of the building. Allison's father, for instance, recalled the couple laughing at a story about a fire-breather accidentally setting himself ablaze during a party at the Ghost Ship, while a former Ghost Ship resident told the AP that Almena and Allison knew the building was dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They profited on this,\" Shelley Mack told the wire service. \"And never spent a dime on anything but partying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Profit?\" Almena asked on \"Today.\" \"This is not profit, this is loss. This is a mass grave. I'm only here to say one thing, that I am incredibly sorry and that everything I did was to make this a stronger, more beautiful community and to bring people together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also defended his creation, and implied he never thought it would be dangerous, noting that he and his children slept there most nights. (They were in a hotel the night of the fire, he says, to get a good night's sleep while \"the young people do what they needed to do.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I laid my body down there every night,\" he said, adding:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>\"We put our children to bed there every night. We made music. We created art. ... It started out as an initial dream and idea that we would have a facility and a venue that would host everything from at-risk youth to the gay community to artists that couldn't perform anywhere to performance art and alternative arts and — and eventually when you can't pay your rent because your dream is bigger than your pocketbook, when the need for housing, when the need for people to be able to sit down and be warm and make food and take a shower and take a bath and go to bed — so we created something together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the fire has not yet been identified, and no charges have been filed. As the AP notes, investigators have not commented on whether Almena or the owner of the warehouse should be held responsible for the disaster.\u003c/p>\n\n",

One victim was 17; the others ranged in age from 22 to 35.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the past three years, Almena leased the building in Oakland's Fruitvale neighborhood and in turn offered smaller leases to residents. He ran an artists' collective out of the structure, which wasn't zoned for residential use. The AP reports that the warehouse had been under investigation by local building inspectors starting last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An artist who survived the fire told NPR that Almena and his partner, Micah Allison, were supportive of her work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were family. It wasn't just a place for cheap rent or a place that you could make art. It was a village,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2016/12/05/504467106/oakland-warehouse-fire-survivor-we-were-a-family\">she said\u003c/a>. \"It was a community of people. We looked out for each other.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Almena has been sharply criticized by others. After the catastrophic fire, he posted a message on Facebook that read in part, \"Everything I worked so hard for is gone. Blessed that my children and Micah were at a hotel safe and sound.\" It didn't mention fatalities or injuries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some have accused Almena of having a callous attitude toward the safety of residents of the building. Allison's father, for instance, recalled the couple laughing at a story about a fire-breather accidentally setting himself ablaze during a party at the Ghost Ship, while a former Ghost Ship resident told the AP that Almena and Allison knew the building was dangerous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They profited on this,\" Shelley Mack told the wire service. \"And never spent a dime on anything but partying.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Profit?\" Almena asked on \"Today.\" \"This is not profit, this is loss. This is a mass grave. I'm only here to say one thing, that I am incredibly sorry and that everything I did was to make this a stronger, more beautiful community and to bring people together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almena also defended his creation, and implied he never thought it would be dangerous, noting that he and his children slept there most nights. (They were in a hotel the night of the fire, he says, to get a good night's sleep while \"the young people do what they needed to do.\")\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I laid my body down there every night,\" he said, adding:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"edTag\">\n\u003cdiv>\n\u003cp>\"We put our children to bed there every night. We made music. We created art. ... It started out as an initial dream and idea that we would have a facility and a venue that would host everything from at-risk youth to the gay community to artists that couldn't perform anywhere to performance art and alternative arts and — and eventually when you can't pay your rent because your dream is bigger than your pocketbook, when the need for housing, when the need for people to be able to sit down and be warm and make food and take a shower and take a bath and go to bed — so we created something together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the fire has not yet been identified, and no charges have been filed. As the AP notes, investigators have not commented on whether Almena or the owner of the warehouse should be held responsible for the disaster.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
