Title: Curriculum Guide: Women's Voices in the Modern Middle East
Body: From http://resources.primarysource.org Here is a curriculum guide featuring talks by three different Muslim women who are activists in the Middle East, along with supporting resources. From the Primary Source website: “In media representations of Muslim women in the Middle East, images of veils, exoticism and oppressive silence are often standard fare. However, if we explore individual experiences and perspectives, it becomes clear that Muslim women defy one-dimensional stereotypes and that no single image can adequately represent such a diverse population. By examining the lives and work of three Muslim activists living in the Middle East, we uncover stories that are rarely told in history books: stories that Muslim women tell, rather than the stories that are told about them. We see that instead of silently observing the world around them, these women use music, literature, and the city square to discuss politics and affect social change both locally and internationally. The song, speeches, and poem featured in these activities challenge long-held stereotypes of Muslim women. These primary sources provide us with an inside look into the complex lives of Muslim women in the Middle East, and showcase their efforts to carve out spaces in which their unique voices can be heard.” Access this resource at http://resources.primarysource.org/content.php?pid=515207&sid=4239277

Title: Japanese Jazz Tour: ai kurabawa trio
Body: From http://www.jflalc.org/ai-kuwabara-trio-project-US-Tour.html Born in 1991, pianist Ai Kuwabara has previously been introduced in the media as “Genius Girl.” With skill and sensitivity that are sure to amaze, she has shot to the top with her music. While her music calls to mind Michel Petrucciani and Esbjörn Svensson, she expresses her creative world with the backing of her lush sensitivity and precise technique. Every original composition that Kuwabara writes down is free and emotional, occasionally avant-garde, and lies beyond the frame of jazz pianists that have existed thus far. Adding his name as co-producer, bassist Yusuke Morita plays everything from transcendent solos like Jaco and Hadrien Feraud to aggressive phrases that make for a luminary and magnificent backing sound. Drummer Shintaro Imamura, with his active career and experience studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston, calls to mind his favorites Chris Dave and Steve Gadd, adding an essential element to the trio. The transcendental Piano Trio Project that swooped down on the world of Japanese jazz is finally making their American debut. Here are the dates: Berkeley, CA November 14, 7:30PM Los Angeles, CA November 16, 7:30PM Denver, CO November 18, 7:30PM Anchorage, AK November 20, 7:30PM Learn more at http://www.jflalc.org/ai-kuwabara-trio-project-US-Tour.html
