This event is cosponsored by The Humanities Institute. \n “An enthralling portrait of the places that shaped John Steinbeck and hi s work. Sumptuously illustrated\, Steinbeck’s Landscapes pairs the autho r’s beloved homeland with the books from which it is inseparable. An aff ecting and deeply evocative book.” —William Souder \n \nYour RSVP help s us plan for your arrival and keep in touch with any changes. Thank you f or registering! \nAmong the many reasons that John Steinbeck has reached t he highest tier of the American literary canon is what we have come to und erstand as his prescient progressivism: human dignity in the face of indus trialization\, a celebration of the migrant laborer\, and support of the p oor and working class versus the owning classes. \nHis vision as a writer was also fundamentally ecological\, looking at man and nature holistically . To understand people\, Steinbeck insisted\, you must appreciate the envi ronments they inhabit: the local trees and flowers\, soil and rocks\, inve rtebrates and frogs. Always in Steinbeck’s books natural and cultural hi stories overlap with an animating spirit of place. \nSteinbeck’s Landsca pes is the first major work to focus on Steinbeck as a predominantly envir onmental writer. It highlights the places that the Nobel Prize–winning a uthor cherished and explored throughout his life and examines the iconic s tories they inspired. We learn how the Salinas Valley of his youth shaped East of Eden\; how\, in Cannery Row\, the improbable diversity of human li fe washed together in a tight community not unlike a Monterey tidepool\; a nd how\, in The Grapes of Wrath\, various human connections to land and so il inform every page of Steinbeck’s monumental novel. \nThe result is a new and fuller understanding of Steinbeck and his work\, arguing that the resonant power of his prose owes much to this writer’s keen and abiding sense of place. \nSusan Shillinglaw\, Ph.D.\, is Professor Emerita of Engl ish at San Jose State University\, where she taught American and Western l iterature for 37 years. For 18 years she was Director of the University’ s Center for Steinbeck Studies\, where she edited a newsletter and organiz ed several international conferences. In 2013 she was honored as SJSU Pres ident’s Scholar. From 2015-18 she was Director of Salinas’s National S teinbeck Center.

This new and captivating music al dialogue — between a prodigious instrumentalist at the height of his powers and a gifted songwriter and wordsmith — deftly bridges continents and traditions\, inventing new song forms. \nThe seeds of Our Calling wer e first planted when Sissoko and Faccini met at Label Bleu in the early 20 00s. Their friendship grew as they linked and explored uncharted paths bet ween Manding traditions and folksong forms. With its ten finely crafted tr acks\, Our Calling is a sonic and narrative praise song for migration in a ll its manifestations: seeds borne by the winds\; Nightingales flying betw een West Africa and Europe at the turn of the seasons\; humans\, across th e centuries\, and along trade routes\, sharing musical practices and rhyth ms. \nThe album’s originality is that it feels deeply Malian at its core \, while also being seamlessly infused with an essence of folk songwriting \; the two elements blending without one ever overshadowing the other. The duo’s ambition when they began imagining the album was clear: the music al language begins and ends with Manding traditions and modes. The songs h ad that creative brief. Their melodies\, although sung in English\, are co nstructed and stepped along Manding lines. \nThe originality of Sissoko an d Faccini’s dialogue is best exemplified with the song “If Nothing is Real” — a song that succeeds in finding a home away from home\, both o n the African and European continents. It is a testament to the Nightingal e\, or Sorofé Kono in Bambara\, the songbird that first inspired these ol d friends to compose music of their own calling. \nBallake Sissoko Website \ninfo/tickets/questions:  worldclassmusic.live/contact  or  Ticketin g Page LAST-MODIFIED:20260903T063153Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, 95060\, United States URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/world-class-music-live-presents-b allake-sissoko-piers-faccini/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Kuumbwa Jazz X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Gimme Gimme Disco DTSTART:20260912T023000Z DTEND:20260912T043000Z DTSTAMP:20260901T000912Z UID:10002096-1789155000-1789162200@scottsvalleychamber.com CATEGORIES:dance DESCRIPTION:If you can’t get enough of ABBA\, boy do we have THE dance p arty for you!

This new and captivating music al dialogue — between a prodigious instrumentalist at the height of his powers and a gifted songwriter and wordsmith — deftly bridges continents and traditions\, inventing new song forms. \nThe seeds of Our Calling wer e first planted when Sissoko and Faccini met at Label Bleu in the early 20 00s. Their friendship grew as they linked and explored uncharted paths bet ween Manding traditions and folksong forms. With its ten finely crafted tr acks\, Our Calling is a sonic and narrative praise song for migration in a ll its manifestations: seeds borne by the winds\; Nightingales flying betw een West Africa and Europe at the turn of the seasons\; humans\, across th e centuries\, and along trade routes\, sharing musical practices and rhyth ms. \nThe album’s originality is that it feels deeply Malian at its core \, while also being seamlessly infused with an essence of folk songwriting \; the two elements blending without one ever overshadowing the other. The duo’s ambition when they began imagining the album was clear: the music al language begins and ends with Manding traditions and modes. The songs h ad that creative brief. Their melodies\, although sung in English\, are co nstructed and stepped along Manding lines. \nThe originality of Sissoko an d Faccini’s dialogue is best exemplified with the song “If Nothing is Real” — a song that succeeds in finding a home away from home\, both o n the African and European continents. It is a testament to the Nightingal e\, or Sorofé Kono in Bambara\, the songbird that first inspired these ol d friends to compose music of their own calling. \nBallake Sissoko Website \ninfo/tickets/questions:  worldclassmusic.live/contact  or  Ticketin g Page LAST-MODIFIED:20260903T063153Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, 95060\, United States URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/world-class-music-live-presents-b allake-sissoko-piers-faccini-2/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Kuumbwa Jazz X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:(((folkYEAH!)))

A creation of perfect balance. As time passed\, evil spread ove r the land like a plague\, slowly consuming everything in its path. In the final moments before light was lost to the shadow for all time\, a weapon of infinite power was created\, the Magic Sword. Thus\, restoring balance to the universe. The genesis of things are often small. As the single see d grows to a mighty oak\, so too did the path of the Keeper begin as a sin gle choice in an age long past. Once a humble king\, he was manipulated in to unleashing the Dark One. All of reality was torn asunder as the Lord of Shadow was released from their ancient prison\, having been bound by the power of the the Magic Sword. From that day forth\, the King was cursed to be the eternal Keeper of this powerful key. He has been compelled for mil lennia to find the Chosen One who will unleash the true power of the weapo n and won't rest until the grand design is complete with the Darkness boun d once again. The Keeper of the Magic Sword searches endlessly for the Cho sen One. This prophesied being contains the ability to wield the power of the Magic Sword and seal the prison that holds Dark One for all eternity. Until the chosen one is revealed\, search continues in this realm and many others throughout all of time and space. In what form will the Magic Swor d manifest? Who is the Chosen One? Answers will reveal themselves as the n eed arises. A tale of high adventure as old as time itself.

In addition to being a band leader and solo performer\, Pizzarelli has been a special guest on recordi ngs for major pop names such as Natalie Cole\, Kristin Chenoweth\, Tom Wop at\, Rickie Lee Jones\, and Dave Van Ronk\, as well as leading jazz artist s such as Rosemary Clooney\, Ruby Braff\, Johnny Frigo\, Buddy DeFranco\, Harry Allen\, and\, of course\, his father Bucky Pizzarelli. \nFor Pizzare lli\, Tony Bennett was more than simply an influence. The admiration was m utual – Bennett could be found in the audience for a number of Pizzarell i’s performances\, and sketched his likeness on two occasions. The charm ing artwork that graces the cover of Pizzarelli’s heartfelt new tribute album\, Dear Mr. Bennett\, was rendered during an engagement at Feinstein ’s nightclub at New York’s Loews Regency hotel. Dear Mr. Bennett\, rel eased in March 2026\, is on the one hand a loving farewell to a profoundly influential musician who meant so much to so many. At the same time\, it ’s a spirited celebration\, arriving just in time for Bennett’s landma rk August 3rd centennial. A five-song EP will follow on August 7th to coin cide with the occasion.

I’d get up and go outside\, see a butterfly and connect that with some impulsive thought I’d had three months ago\, and suddenly a so ng I’d been working on would make sense. That’s how the whole album ca me to be.” The follow-up to 2018’s critically acclaimed Wide Awake \, If I Were a Butterfly finds Baxter co-producing alongside Tim O’Sullivan (Grace Potter\, The Head and the Heart) and Kai Welch (Molly Tuttle\, Sie rra Hull)\, slowly piecing together the album’s patchwork of lush psyche delia and Beatlesesque pop. In addition to working at Thunder Sound (the K entucky studio he called home for months on end)\, Baxter recorded in Cali fornia\, Texas\, Tennessee\, and Washington\, enlisting a remarkable lineu p of musicians: Shakey Graves\, Lennon Stella\, several members of Cage th e Elephant\, Zac Cockrell of Alabama Shakes\, Morning Teleportation’s Tr avis Goodwin\, and legendary Motown drummer Miss Bobbye Hall\, among many others. In an especially meaningful turn\, two of the album’s tracks fea ture the elegant pedal steel work of his father\, Bucky Baxter (a musician who performed with Bob Dylan and who passed away in May 2020). Thanks to the extraordinary care and ingenuity behind its creation\, If I Were a But terfly arrives as a work of rarefied magic\, capable of stirring up immens e feeling while leaving the listener happily wonderstruck.

After debuting in March 2019\, B rass Queens grew to be a fixture in the local music scene and was dubbed “the hardest working band in town” by their peers. The Queens gained a dedicated following through outdoor performances on the streets of Brookl yn and playing pop-up events in their community through the pandemic. Now\ , a core value of the band is to play for as many audiences as possible to increase the visibility of female musicians.  \nThe band has developed a signature style that sits right at the intersection of the Big Apple and the Big Easy. Their sound is deeply inspired by\, and pays homage to\, the New Orleans brass band tradition while injecting the upbeat\, multifacete d energy of their New York home into each performance. In November 2023\, the band released their first full-length album titled Black & Gold\, whic h is an ode to the Brass Queen’s incredible early fanbase who supported the band from the virtual performances and socially-distanced street corne rs during the COVID-19 pandemic\, to the crowded clubs and packed venues o f today. Less than a year later\, Brass Queens released their second full- length album and their first album of all-original music\, titled Hot Tub Sessions Vol. I. \nBrass Queens Website\n(Ticket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax) LAST-MODIFIED:20260903T063153Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, 95060\, United States URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/brass-queens/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Kuumbwa Jazz X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Transgender & Non-Binary Peer Support Group (Virtual Group Hosted by TDC) DTSTART:20260924T023000Z DTEND:20260924T040000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:diversity-center:1743e2d141c83ea16b63cc51@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Support Group Name:    Trans and Nonbinary Peer Support Grou p (Virtual group Hosted by TDC) Date: Every Wednesday Time: 7:30-9:00 pm  Location: ZoomAges: 18+Cost: FREESupport Group description: This support and discussion group is for people 18+ who identify on the spectrum of tr ans/nonbinary/agender/genderfluid and more.

These principles go beyond statements and activ ely shape how we design\, test\, and deploy AI systems in real-world autom otive and enterprise settings. In this talk\, I will present how these pri nciples inspired our recent research on when reusing LoRA (Low-Rank Adapta tion) is effective. By combining theoretical analysis with synthetic data as a proxy for enterprise scenarios\, we uncovered the strengths and limit ations of modular AI components under constrained data access. Our finding s provide practical guidance on when reused LoRAs could deliver high-quali ty results.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Mei-Yen Chen](https://www.linkedin. com/in/mei-yen-chen-22937787) is a Senior Data Scientist at Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation GmbH in Germany with 10 years of industry experience in AI and data solutions. She leads early-stage AI projects across business fun ctions and collaborates with research institutions on machine learning and responsible AI.\n\n**Region Tokens as the Visual Primitive: From Recognit ion to World Modeling**\n\nPatch-based tokenization has become the default interface between vision encoders and downstream models\, yet patches car ry no semantic structure and scale poorly with resolution and temporal ext ent. This talk presents a research program centered on replacing patch tok ens with region-level representations — semantically dense tokens ground ed in visual entities rather than arbitrary grid crops.\n\nI will describe RELOCATE\, REN\, and T-REN\, a progression of methods that produce region tokens via pooling\, train them with region-level objectives\, and extend them to video with temporal coherence. I will then present ongoing work i ntegrating region tokens into VLMs to directly expand visual context capac ity\, and preliminary results on future region trajectory prediction as a foundation for world modeling.\n\nThe broader thesis is that region-level tokens are a more natural unit of visual computation than patches\, and th eir advantage compounds as task complexity\, resolution\, and temporal hor izon increase.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Savya Khosla](https://www.linked in.com/in/savyakhosla/) is a second-year Ph.D. student at the University o f Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, advised by Prof. Derek Hoiem and Prof. Alex Schwing.\n\n**Leveraging Text-To-Image Diffusion Models for Consistent Set -to-Set Generation**\n\nImage collections are humans' primary way of captu ring the world\, yet advances in generative editing remain largely inappli cable to this modality. We address this gap by introducing Match-and-Fuse - a zero-shot\, training-free method for consistent set-to-set generation from image collections that share a common visual element but differ in vi ewpoint\, capture time\, and surrounding content.\nOur key idea is a unifi ed graph-based framework that combines dense correspondences with an emerg ent prior in text-to-image diffusion models to generate coherent canvases. We achieve state-of-the-art consistency and visual quality\, and unlock n ew creative capabilities for content generation.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\ n[Kate Feingold](https://www.linkedin.com/in/katefeingold/) is a PhD stude nt in Computer Vision at the Weizmann Institute of Science. Her research s its at the intersection of generative models\, 3D/4D perception\, and mult imodal learning\, focusing on problems where vision meets other modalities or paradigms in creative tasks.\n\n**Yield Estimation of a Coffee in a de nse environment**\n\nThis presentation provides a detailed workflow relate d to coffee yield estimation in a dense environment.

Although their detachment from any nation or fla g is a driving force behind the group\, the heart of their music and herit age remains deeply rooted in Yemeni culture. The constant divisions create d by war and migration have given rise to a reassembled identity\, one tha t resonates strongly throughout El Khat’s music. With a fourth album to be released in 2026\, El Khat continues to forge a sound that bridges past and present—keeping Yemeni culture alive while reimagining its future.\ n\nworldclassmusic.live\n\ninfo/tickets/questions:  worldclassmusic.live /contact  or  ticketing Page\n\n.embed-container { position: relative\; padding-bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed-container iframe\, .embed-container object\, .embed-container emb ed { position: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100%\; height: 100%\; } LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T030908Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/world-class-music-live-presents-e l-khat/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Santa Cruz Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.santacruzevents.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Steel Pulse – Reggae Against Racism Tour DTSTART:20261002T030000Z DTEND:20261002T060000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:catalyst:69d496ea4a2c2bc504fe1bfe@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:music LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T030908Z LOCATION:The Catalyst\, 1011 Pacific Ave\, Santa Cruz\, CA URL:https://catalystclub.com/event/steel-pulse-reggae-against-racism-tour/ the-catalyst/santa-cruz-california/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Santa Cruz Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.santacruzevents.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Groundation DTSTART:20261002T030000Z DTEND:20261002T060000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:felton-music-hall:d7b230a12f39246ecc9fb3b1@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:community LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T030908Z LOCATION:Felton Music Hall\, 6275 CA-9\, Felton\, CA URL:https://www.feltonmusichall.com/shows/groundation X-SOURCE-NAME:Santa Cruz Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.santacruzevents.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Evergreen Volunteer Days DTSTART:20261002T163000Z DTEND:20261002T190000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:mah:b32b0c1f7d4da7d683515d55@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:community DESCRIPTION:Join a team of amazing\, weekly volunteers who help maintain o ne of the oldest public cemeteries in California\, Evergreen Cemetery.

Shoveling their own path\, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth ove r the past few years\, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise\, High Sierra\, Hulaween\, Same Same but Different\, Live Oak\, Cascade Equinox\, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. Per a 2024 Ja m Cruise writer\, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s\, but I confess I wasn’t expecting [Diggin Dirt] to be throwi ng it down this hard. This group is impossibly tight\, and Zach Alder migh t be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard\, and I’ve heard a few.” Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing horns\, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section\, and tying it all together is the ban d’s frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes\ , charisma and natural-born soul. With flashes of James Brown or Sly and t he Family Stone\, Otis Redding or Tower of Power\, the band’s sound is b oth familiar and yet refreshingly original\, layering psychedelic rock\, M otown soul\, afrobeat and even reggae atop a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.

Shoveling their own path\, Diggin Dirt has seen sustained growth over the past few years\, with multiple national tours and festival stops at Jam Cruise\, High Sierra\, Hulaween\, Same Sa me but Different\, Live Oak\, Cascade Equinox\, Joshua Tree Music Festival and many more. Per a 2024 Jam Cruise writer\, “This was the soul music I grew up with in the ‘60s and ‘70s\, but I confess I wasn’t expecti ng [Diggin Dirt] to be throwing it down this hard. This group is impossibl y tight\, and Zach Alder might be the best soul shouter I’ve ever heard\ , and I’ve heard a few.” Their infectious sound is fueled by blazing h orns\, searing guitars and a relentlessly driving rhythm section\, and tyi ng it all together is the band’s frontman who launches the ensemble into rarefied air with his pipes\, charisma and natural-born soul. With flashe s of James Brown or Sly and the Family Stone\, Otis Redding or Tower of Po wer\, the band’s sound is both familiar and yet refreshingly original\, layering psychedelic rock\, Motown soul\, afrobeat and even reggae atop a thick foundation of late-60s inspired funk.

The variety of fruits\, vegetables\, flowers\, pastured meats a nd other products is swoon worthy.\n\nThe Downtown Market also spotlights a large variety of up-and-coming\, unique cultural food businesses. This w eekly spot may serve up the most diverse selection of ethnic foods in the county including naan and curry\, Japanese fermented misos\, Eritrean dish es\, crepes\, El Salvadorean pupusas\, traditional Italian cookies\, fish and chips and long-ferment fresh breads.

Rather than focusing on tools alone\, we’ll look at how to think architecturally about agent collaboration.\n\ nYou’ll learn:\n\n* When sequential agents are the right choice and when they become a bottleneck\n* How parallel agents improve speed and coverag e (and the trade‑offs they introduce)\n* Common failure modes in poorly designed agent interactions\n* Practical criteria for choosing the right p attern based on task\, latency\, and reliability\n\nBy the end of the sess ion\, you’ll have a clear mental model for designing multi‑agent syste ms that are intentional\, scalable\, and production‑ready.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Dr Roushanak Rahmat](https://www.linkedin.com/in/roushanakra hmat/) is an Enterprise AI Architect\, Google Developer Expert (AI & Cloud )\, and recognized among the Top 100 Women in Tech (2025). With a PhD in A rtificial Intelligence and over 15 years of experience\, she specializes i n designing and delivering enterprise-scale Generative AI\, Agentic AI\, a nd Deep Learning solutions that transform industries including healthcare\ , finance\, energy\, and public services.\n\n**Privacy by Deployment: Arch itecting Agent-Driven Localization Workflows for Regulated Environments**\ n\nMost enterprise AI today is private by promise - a DPA\, a SOC 2 report \, or a contract clause that says\, "we won't train on your data". For a r egulated buyer\, these are remedies after a breach\, not controls that pre vent or contain one. For organizations in healthcare\, finance\, defense\, and government\, privacy often requires stronger guarantees: data residen cy\, customer-controlled execution\, and\, in some cases\, operation withi n air-gapped environments.\n\nThis session demonstrates how agentic AI can automate a localization workflow while operating within these constraints . Using a real-world localization pipeline as an example\, we will show ho w agentic systems can coordinate translation\, review\, quality assurance\ , and content preparation tasks while incorporating human checkpoints for approval and oversight.\n\nWe will also walk through the architectural pat terns that enable these workflows to run inside customer-controlled and ai r-gapped environments without transferring sensitive content outside the c ustomer boundary. The session includes a live product demonstration.\n\nKe y Takeaways\n\n* Architectural patterns for deploying agentic AI in air-ga pped and customer-controlled environments\n* How agentic systems can autom ate localization workflows while preserving critical human review and appr oval processes\n* Practical considerations for operating agentic workflows in regulated environments with auditability and governance requirements\n \n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Shruti Joshi](https://www.linkedin.com/in/28shru ti) is building an AI powered secure localization stack for regulated indu stries such as healthcare\, legal\, finance that cannot send their content to a typical hosted SaaS. She brings 12+ years of engineering and archite cture experience to the question this talk addresses: how do you make an a gentic AI system deployable inside a regulated perimeter.\n\n**MCP Is the Interface\; Skills Are the Operating Discipline**\n\nThis talk shows how M CP and Agent Skills work together in practical agent systems. MCP gives ag ents a standard interface to tools\, data\, and workflows\; skills encode the operating discipline that makes those connections reliable. Using a sa nitized field-operations ledger as the case study\, the talk walks through source intake\, normalized state\, uncertainty labels\, role prompts\, QA gates\, and share-safe status drafting.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Chuck Hernandez](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-hernandez/) is an AI engineer ing and client-delivery leader with 10+ years across software\, data platf orms\, and enterprise implementation\, including 3+ years shipping product ion GenAI systems.\n\n**Agentic engineering is about good guidance.**\n\nG arbage Inn. Is garbage out? This is true. For many input and output proces ses. In biological life and in computer systems\, and equally true when wo rking with LLM’s. The better the prompt\, the better the context\, the b etter the focus\, And the better the contextual awareness\, the better the quality of the output the LLM’s generates.\nThis is the governance\, ar t and practice of what we like to call agentic engineering\, something I'v e been practicing over the last year.\n\n*About the Speaker*\n\n[Dimitri G eelen](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimitrigeelen/) builds things that don' t need him once they're done. Frameworks\, transitions\, agentic systems — the measure of success is always the same: does it hold up when he lea ves the room?

A veteran performer and educator\, Flocks has be en lucky to play with luminaries in jazz and beyond\, including Dave Brube ck\, Patrice Rushen\, Antonio Sanchez\, and Jumaane Smith. His 2019 releas e Mask of the Muse features Flocks’ rendition of “Ebb Tide” which ha s been streamed more than twenty million times and went viral on TikTok.\n \nGrowing up in the Santa Cruz mountains\, Flocks witnessed lunar grandeur over the churning Pacific surf and filtered through redwood canopies. Fol lowing the advice of his elders\, he spent over a decade living in New Yor k City\, learning from the masters and leading his own bands at the 55 Bar and Cornelia Street Cafe. Flocks is now grounded in Los Angeles where he balances performing with a full schedule teaching at Glendale Community Co llege\, Harvard-Westlake\, and the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts.\n\nAt its foundation\, his latest album Moonshades is a trio explora tion\, acutely aware of the history of saxophone triumvirates led by Flock s’ heroes Sonny Rollins\, Joe Henderson\, and Joshua Redman\, but concer ned with an entirely different avenue\, thanks to bandmates Garret Lang an d Jay Bellerose. While those trios often relished dexterity and unrelentin g momentum\, Flocks and his compatriots linger in the openness and unhurri ed propulsion that comes so naturally to them. For Flocks\, the moon is a powerful reminder of the unknowable and the spirit of searching.\n\nFlocks will be joined by Garret Lang on bass and Jay Bellerose on drums for this special hometown album release performance.\n\nBen Flocks Website\n\n(Tic ket Includes 5% City of Santa Cruz Admission Tax)\n\n.embed-container { po sition: relative\; padding-bottom: 56.25%\; height: 0\; overflow: hidden\; max-width: 100%\; } .embed-container iframe\, .embed-container object\, . embed-container embed { position: absolute\; top: 0\; left: 0\; width: 100 %\; height: 100%\; } LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T030908Z LOCATION:Kuumbwa Jazz Center\, 320 Cedar St.\, Santa Cruz\, CA 95060 URL:https://www.kuumbwajazz.org/calendar/ben-flocks-trio/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Santa Cruz Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.santacruzevents.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Web Committee Meeting DTSTART:20261009T020000Z DTEND:20261009T030000Z DTSTAMP:20260802T061038Z UID:10000522-1791486000-1791489600@aasantacruz.org CATEGORIES:civic DESCRIPTION:The Web Committee meets on the 2nd Thursday of the month. \n\n \n\nJoin the Zoom Meetingat https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88470091801Meeting I D: 884 7009 1801Passcode: 2272 LAST-MODIFIED:20260802T061038Z URL:https://aasantacruz.org/event/web-committee-meeting/2026-10-08/ X-SOURCE-NAME:Alcoholics Anonymous of Santa Cruz County X-SOURCE-URL:https://aasantacruz.org/business-meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Rickie Lee Jones — Rio Theatre for the Performing DTSTART:20261009T030000Z DTEND:20261009T050000Z DTSTAMP:20260815T030908Z UID:rio-theatre:0bbca4c449cd048d82c0e484@santa-cruz-events.local CATEGORIES:music LAST-MODIFIED:20260815T030908Z LOCATION:Rio Theatre for the Performing\, 1205 Soquel Ave\, Santa Cruz\, C A 95062 URL:https://www.riotheatre.com/events-2/2026/10/8/rickieleejones X-SOURCE-NAME:Santa Cruz Events X-SOURCE-URL:https://www.santacruzevents.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Santa Cruz County: Monterey Bay Festival of Birds DTSTART:20261009T070000Z DTEND:20261012T065959Z DTSTAMP:20260730T001204Z UID:10076280-1791504000-1791763199@www.santacruz.org CATEGORIES:education,family,festival,outdoors DESCRIPTION:Mark the fall migration at one of the most beautiful places on the planet for the Monterey Bay Festival of Birds featuring field trips\, workshops\, family-fun activities\, and keynote speakers.

FREE community poetry jam fe aturing editor and contributor readings from Magpie On the Gallows anthol ogy.\n\n\nAre you ready to get your poetry on? Join us on Nov 3\, 2026 at Satori Arts for InterAct\, a FREE open mic night\, from 7-9 pm\, featuring readings from editor and contributors of Magpie On the Gallows anthology . \nMagpie on the Gallows: Poems on the Art of Bosch and Bruegel collects famous and newly minted poems on the art of Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Br uegel the Elder. These painters from the Northern Renaissance are startlin gly relevant today\, with their critiques of authorities\, exposure of chu rch hypocrisies\, and assault on holier-than-thou judgments. Though the ar tworks were created in the 1500s — featuring surrealistic scenes from dr eams and nightmares\, illustrations of ancient proverbs\, and close examin ation of natural landscapes and peasant life — they still mesmerize. \nC ombining well-known poems by Sylvia Plath\, W. H. Auden\, William Carlos W illiams\, Sandra Gilbert\, Czesław Miłosz\, and Robert Hass with work by some of today’s finest poets — Mosab Abu Toha\, Charles Simic\, Kimik o Hahn\, Kaveh Akbar\, Rae Armantrout\, and Traci Brimhall\, among others — this anthology will delight fans of the artists\, readers of poetry\, and anyone trying to comprehend our mad (and maddening!) world. \nJoin co- editor David Allen Sullivan and contributors Dion O’Reilly\, Addie Mahma ssani\, Wilma Marcus Chandler\, Jessica Breheny\, Nancy Miller Gomez\, Tay lor Gorman\, Ken Weisner and Maggie Paul as they read from the anthology. \nCome share your spoken word work or poetry with the community\, or come out to support our local readers!

Through storytelling\, we will be invited to explore our own experie nce of belonging.\n\nFollowing the story\, a local community partner will join us for a panel conversation exploring what community building looks l ike in practice. Together\, we’ll discuss what it takes to cultivate inc lusive spaces\, the lessons they’ve learned in their work\, and how belo nging shows up in real and tangible ways across our County.\n\nWe will clo se each event with small breakout groups\, where attendees can reflect on their own experiences of belonging and consider their role in creating a m ore connected community.

Did you just start and want to learn more tricks to master this new tech?

A ~$20/mo subscription will get you a long way already. Using pay as you go API tokens usually ends up being a lot more expensive (you may spend $20 in an hour of coding) unless you use the cheaper models (like z Ai) but th ese tend to always be behind on the leaderboard.\n\nif you're not sure\, j ust come watch and see for yourself what people use.
