If you're ever in Drosendorf...

Yesterday, I wanted to post a brief entry on the jazz saxophonist Herwig Gradischnig on this blog, recommending his latest CD and advertising the free concert he was giving at the Arkadenhof in Vienna's City Hall yesterday evening. Other things interfered with the blog posting, so it didn't happen, and you missed a very fine concert indeed. I personally think that saxophone trios (sax, bass, drums) are extremely interesting combos, but also very demanding ones. There is no other instrument that any of the musicians could hide behind, especially no piano that could make things "rounder", so they're pretty much exposed and can't really afford to make any mistakes. However, if the musicians are good, they're usually excellent -- see Lee Konitz's Motion, Sonny Rollins' Night at the Village Vanguard or John Coltrane's "Chasin' the Trane" from Live at the Village Vanguard, all of which are extremely impressive recordings. Gradischnig and his "Ghost Trio" (Matthias Pichler, bass, and Klemens Marktl, particularly impressive on drums) were in great form yesterday, even though the audience seemed somewhat indecisive about them, which may have had to do with a location that didn't feel particularly cosy. Gradischnig was a lot more energized than at the last concert I had seen him at, when he seemed a bit pale on the stage and was lacking some of his punch. The whole thing was clarified when he walked to the mic between tracks and said, "If you would do me a favour... if you're ever in Drosendorf in Northern Lower Austria, don't eat the seafood pizza. Just don't. Please.” I've been wanting to pass on Gradischnig's warning for a while now, and I'm glad I can finally do my blog readers a service this way. If you want to hear what Gradischnig sounds like when he hasn't upset his stomach and don't want to risk not being informed about his next concert by this unreliable blogger, you could buy his new CD (or listen to samples on iTunes). It may not be as immediate as a live concert, but it's still an engaging and energizing recording, taut and flawless, oblique enough not to ever become boring, but not so oblique that it could scare off people who listen to jazz only occasionally. Of all jazz CDs released this year, this is so far my favourite.

Community Acupuncture Clinic – Expanded Flexible Scheduling (photos) (hayes valley)

Great opportunity to start a community clinic in the heart of SF with almost no set-up costs! The clinic is furnished with 2 Lafuma recliners and 2 upright professional massage chairs (for working on the neck, shoulders and back). There is also a treatment table available if you prefer that to the massage chairs. I will coach you on the efficient running of your community clinic in this space. LOCATION Great central location on Gough Street in Hayes Valley is easily accessible from anywhere in the City, and from BART, MUNI and freeways. The building is located on the Gough Street corridor in Hayes Valley (2 blocks north of Market, 2 blocks west of VanNess, and 1 block east of the new Octavia Boulevard). The area is very easy to get to from anywhere in SF and from the freeways. It is a 7-minute walk from Civic Center BART, and a 3-minute walk from the intersection of Market Street and VanNess Ave. The area is accessible by many MUNI busses and trains. Though traffic makes the neighborhood appear quite busy, it is generally easy for clients to find parking. The clinic is located off the street (virtually no street noise audible) on the second floor of a well-maintained professional building. There is a shared waiting room with everyone on the floor. Other professionals on the floor include psychotherapists, psychiatrist, etc. An enclosed indoor garden space lends light and comfort to the setting. PLUS The community clinic can also be set up as a private treatment suite (“Suite 2” below). There is also an additional private treatment suite available (“Suite 1” below). COMMUNITY CLINIC SET UP AS A PRIVATE TREATMENT ROOM ADDITIONAL PRIVATE TREATMENT ROOM GENERAL DETAILS The community clinic and private treatment suites share the following features: All are furnished with a Chinese armoire, a wood desk with file drawers, shoji screens, stereo-system with a good selection of mellow classical, jazz and world music CDs, compact 4-in-1 copy machine/fax/scanner/printer, electric tea kettle and dustbuster. The ambience is comfortable, serene and professional. All have a deluxe model massage table with comfortable 3-inch foam, a double-action adjustable headrest and an attachable arm cradle (which opens the upper back for massage or facilitates simultaneous needling of points such as GB 20 and LI 4). The tables bear up to 800 lbs. so can also be used for vigorous bodywork styles. They are also Reiki friendly and easily fold down for floor-style massage. Extra pillows in various sizes, a fleece blanket and electric heating pad are stored on a fabric shelf below each table. Both suites include full use of a Chinese Herb Pharmacy and/or space to stock your own herbs. Suite 1 has a small selection of teapills as well as space for you to stock your choice of herbal products. Suite 2 (community clinic) stocks a good selection of capsules and teapills, as well as formulas and single herbs in powder form. You pay only wholesale, sales tax and a small inventory fee. Medical equipment available in both suites includes portable desktop mercury blood pressure pump, moxa box, cupping supplies, etc. Suite 2 also has an electrostim machine for electro-acupuncture. Both suites have access to a small, shared space for heating meals, and there are plenty of good restaurants in the neighborhood. RATES * Monday – Saturday: $240 per day/month with a month-to-month * Sunday Special rate: $160 per month with a month-to-month lease * All rental rates include phone, utilities, janitorial service and plant maintenance. * Minimum rental is one day per week for a full month (with the exception of Monday & Thursday a.m. noted above) AVAILABILITY Suite 2 (Multifunctional Community Acupuncture Clinic or Private Treatment Room) * Wednesday and Sunday * Monday and Thursday mornings until 1:00 p.m. (prorated rent) Suite 1 (Private Treatment Room) * Available Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday SCHEDULING Minimum rental is one suite one day per week for a full month (your main day).
