Nonoiz). When talking about his dance style, Noh Justice sums it up simply with what he calls “a hood ballet.” With turf dance, the creative process starts with anything around him: “Mainly our stories and our lives and things we don’t like to talk about.” It’s not the first mural he’s found himself starring in; he routinely (and proudly) points out another three Oakland walls to his kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rocks floating around the dancer capture the force of his moves. “It shows he’s making an impact,” says Timothy, referencing the Hindu god Shiva, who destroys and recreates the world around him. “To me, he’s dancing for change. He’s making an impact and destroying his surroundings to create change for a new way of being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow their work on Instagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/creativeshields/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@creativeshields\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/timothyb_art/\">@timothyb_art\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/chuckinglights/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@chuckinglights\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/berj.j.berj/\">@berj.j.berj\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13834333\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13834333\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-800x464.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-800x464.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-768x445.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-1020x591.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-960x556.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-240x139.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-375x217.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-520x301.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artists Jack and Alise Eastgate review their completed work ‘Warmer Waters’ on the final day of Oakland Mural Festival 2018. \u003ccite>(Lina Blanco / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Warmer Waters’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Martin Luther King Jr Way and 2nd\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.aliseeastgate.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alise\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"http://www.jackeastgate.com\"> Jack\u003c/a> Eastgate\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just blocks from the Jack London Inner Harbor, a little girl valiantly rides a whale moving westward.

Some interpretations of the hummingbird link back to the Aztec god Huitzilopochtli, a deity associated with the resurrection of a fallen warrior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow Trust Your Struggle Collective on Instagram at \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/trustyourstrugglecollective/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@TrustYourStruggleCollective\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/erinyoshi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@erinyoshi\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/nisha.k.sethi/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Nisha.k.Sethi\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/misterbouncer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@misterbouncer\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13834340\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13834340 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2-520x347.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">This mural of a giant rooster and the symbol ‘Han’ by Dave Young Kim and Erik T Burke is imbued with the symbolism of resistance. \u003ccite>(Lina Blanco / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Han’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>3rd and Webster\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.daveyoungkim.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dave Young Kim\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://eriktburke.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Erik Burke\u003c/a>\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though this mural revolves around just three core elements—a way-larger-than-life rooster, a Chinese character and a “rising sun”—Dave Young Kim and Erik Burke’s newest work is anything but simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rooster traditionally symbolizes tenaciousness, never giving up,” Kim shared in an Instagram post.

He’s making an impact and destroying his surroundings to create change for a new way of being.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Follow their work on Instagram: \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/creativeshields/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@creativeshields\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/timothyb_art/\">@timothyb_art\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/chuckinglights/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@chuckinglights\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/berj.j.berj/\">@berj.j.berj\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13834333\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13834333\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-800x464.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-800x464.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-160x93.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-768x445.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-1020x591.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-960x556.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-240x139.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-375x217.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4-520x301.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/06/OakMural-4.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artists Jack and Alise Eastgate review their completed work ‘Warmer Waters’ on the final day of Oakland Mural Festival 2018. \u003ccite>(Lina Blanco / KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Warmer Waters’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Martin Luther King Jr Way and 2nd\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.aliseeastgate.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alise\u003c/a> and\u003ca href=\"http://www.jackeastgate.com\"> Jack\u003c/a> Eastgate\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just blocks from the Jack London Inner Harbor, a little girl valiantly rides a whale moving westward.

Performers are not confirmed at press time, but it historically includes Napa musicians of mostly acoustic styles, like folk, jazz and country.

If you’re looking for an waterfront adventure without taking a long road trip, Lake Anza is a lowkey place to tan and swim in Berkeley’s Tilden Park, which also has gorgeous trails and even a petting zoo.

For those who don’t have a car: bus or rideshare to Oakland’s Dimond Park; behind its playground, there are trails leading to Joaquin Miller Park and Redwood Regional Park, two gorgeous oases that make it easy to forget you’re still in urban Oakland. If you’re looking for an waterfront adventure without taking a long road trip, Lake Anza is a lowkey place to tan and swim in Berkeley’s Tilden Park, which also has gorgeous trails and even a petting zoo. Further inland is the breathtaking Mt. Diablo, with sweeping vistas, hiking and rock climbing. And Lake Del Valle in Livermore is a hidden East Bay gem; they have pedal boats, kayaks and motorboats for rent, plus two swimming beaches, hiking camping and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13807491\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13807491\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-800x535.jpg\" alt=\"Lil B performs at Hiero Day 2017.\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-800x535.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-768x514.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-1020x683.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-1180x790.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-960x643.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-240x161.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-375x251.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/09/DSC_0332-520x348.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lil B performs at Hiero Day 2017. \u003ccite>(Nastia Voynovskaya)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Hiero Day\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sept. 3.\u003cbr>\nLocation TBA, Oakland.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.hieroday.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More information\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lineup for this annual hip-hop fest is typically only announced a week ahead, but the $19.93 presale tickets sell out long before that because Hiero Day has a proven track record of being a good time.

Archibald takes as her starting point the belief in certain cultures that taking a picture can steal a person’s soul.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Seiwert collaborates with violist-composer Christen Lien to revisit the Greek myth of Elpis, the spirit who remained trapped in Pandora’s box after all the other evils escaped into the world.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13833581\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13833581\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-800x496.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-800x496.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-160x99.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-768x477.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1020x633.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1200x745.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1920x1191.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1180x732.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-960x596.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-240x149.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-375x233.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-520x323.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parangal Dance Company.

Home to three generations of a prominent German-Jewish family, the house survived the 1906 earthquake and fire; today, restored to its Victorian-era splendor, it operates as a heritage museum. Paralleling the complex family history embedded in this singular piece of architecture, Goode embeds real and fictional stories drawn from the lives of his performers to comment on the resilience and the spirit of reinvention for which San Francisco is famous. One of his characters grapples with masculine and feminine influences over decades, redefining how they want to exist in the world. Another trio of dancers imagines the history of domestic life in the grand house, full of conflict and temptations.

Archibald takes as her starting point the belief in certain cultures that taking a picture can steal a person’s soul.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Seiwert collaborates with violist-composer Christen Lien to revisit the Greek myth of Elpis, the spirit who remained trapped in Pandora’s box after all the other evils escaped into the world.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13833581\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13833581\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-800x496.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"496\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-800x496.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-160x99.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-768x477.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1020x633.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1200x745.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1920x1191.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-1180x732.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-960x596.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-240x149.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-375x233.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5-520x323.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/EDF18_Parangal.193.7x5.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Parangal Dance Company.

Home to three generations of a prominent German-Jewish family, the house survived the 1906 earthquake and fire; today, restored to its Victorian-era splendor, it operates as a heritage museum. Paralleling the complex family history embedded in this singular piece of architecture, Goode embeds real and fictional stories drawn from the lives of his performers to comment on the resilience and the spirit of reinvention for which San Francisco is famous. One of his characters grapples with masculine and feminine influences over decades, redefining how they want to exist in the world. Another trio of dancers imagines the history of domestic life in the grand house, full of conflict and temptations. These tales are framed by an original score by Ben Juodvalkis and the music of Tassiana Willis, Lila Blue and Shawna Virago.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13833582\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13833582\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber-520x347.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/SF-Intl-Deaf-Dance-Festival-photo-by-Matt-Haber.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Francisco International Deaf Dance Festival.

They’ve been sharing the Japanese tradition of \u003cem>kumidaiko\u003c/em>, a drum performance style that’s been around since the ’50s, locally since 1973.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"callout noborder\">\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13833631\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13833631\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2018/05/Pete-Escovedo-at-E-Spot-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pete Escovedo performs with his Latin Jazz Orchestra at the E Spot in Studio City, 2015. \u003ccite>(Pete Escovedo)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Pete Escovedo\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Aug. 22\u003cbr>\nTown Plaza, Los Gatos\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://jazzontheplazz.com/2018-artists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">More Information\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born into a highly musical family, percussionist Pete Escovedo emerged as a Latin jazz heavyweight after his work in the ’70s with Santana and Azteca. He’s remained a South Bay crowd favorite ever since. (Did I mention he once owned a Latin jazz club in SJ’s SoFA District?) He’s been a staple of Music in the Park’s programming over the years, and this year, fans can catch him at the more intimate Los Gatos Town Plaza. Escovedo and his band close out the free Jazz on the Plazz summer series, a Wednesday weekly that kicks off June 13.

As his mad scientist alterego Dr. Gladstone, Bailey used to sculpt life-sized skeletons of cryptozoological creatures and then bury them in the hills above his house. He would then invite groups of unsuspecting school children on archaeological digs and wait for tiny minds to be blown forever as they unearthed Cyclops or Bigfoot. Other Bailey creations include gargoyles, cartoon face jugs, pop guns, “the urn of the unconceived,” gelatinous blob creatures, and — perhaps most noteworthy — robots. Bailey’s robots have appeared in a \u003cem>Playboy\u003c/em> television special, the Sylvester Stallone film \u003cem>Cobra\u003c/em>, and the dreams (or nightmares) of the many children lucky enough to catch sight of one of Bailey’s creations wandering the streets back in the ’70s and ’80s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once only a lucky few were granted a front row seat to Bailey’s creations, but in a Willy Wonka-esque gesture, the general public was finally allowed a peek behind the curtain in 2013 with the grand opening of the Bailey Art Museum.

As his mad scientist alterego Dr. Gladstone, Bailey used to sculpt life-sized skeletons of cryptozoological creatures and then bury them in the hills above his house. He would then invite groups of unsuspecting school children on archaeological digs and wait for tiny minds to be blown forever as they unearthed Cyclops or Bigfoot. Other Bailey creations include gargoyles, cartoon face jugs, pop guns, “the urn of the unconceived,” gelatinous blob creatures, and — perhaps most noteworthy — robots. Bailey’s robots have appeared in a \u003cem>Playboy\u003c/em> television special, the Sylvester Stallone film \u003cem>Cobra\u003c/em>, and the dreams (or nightmares) of the many children lucky enough to catch sight of one of Bailey’s creations wandering the streets back in the ’70s and ’80s. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once only a lucky few were granted a front row seat to Bailey’s creations, but in a Willy Wonka-esque gesture, the general public was finally allowed a peek behind the curtain in 2013 with the grand opening of the Bailey Art Museum.
