Tim Jackson is getting ready to wave goodbye to Monterey.The Santa Cruz resident is stepping down as artistic director at the Monterey Jazz Festival — a role he’s held for more than 30 years — following this weekend’s event, which runs Sept. 22-24 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds.“I feel like I’ve got a responsibility here while I am still operating at the top of my game, at least in my opinion, to step aside and let somebody else come in and bring their artistic vision to it,” says Jackson, who was hired by the festival in 1991 and started booking the lineup one year later.Jackson took over the reigns from the legendary Jimmy Lyons, who co-founded the festival in 1958 with Ralph J. Gleason. His replacement is composer-musician Darin Atwater, who becomes only the third artistic director in the festival’s long history.“I never saw myself as like a Jimmy Lyons or George Wein at Newport, where you just kind of die with your boots on kind of thing — and just stay to ...

Trump sparks blowback for criticizing abortion ban

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:05:57 GMT

By Sara Burnett | Associated PressDonald Trump is facing new blowback from anti-abortion activists for refusing to commit to national abortion restrictions and for calling Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ signing of a six-week ban on the procedure a “terrible mistake.”Speaking Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” Trump repeatedly declined to say whether he would support a federal ban on abortion. He said he could “live with” the procedure being banned by individual states or nationwide through federal action, though he said “from a legal standpoint, I think it’s probably better” to be handled at the state level.Regarding the bill signed by DeSantis, which bans abortions before many women know they are pregnant, Trump said, “I think what he did is a terrible thing and a terrible mistake.”So far, the former president has dominated the 2024 field while at times spurning the anti-abortion groups that traditionally have...

Critics slam Belgian Green chief’s taxi ride on car-free Sunday 

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:05:57 GMT

Belgian politicians have criticized the co-chair of Green party Ecolo, Rajae Maouane, for taking a taxi to talk about sustainability on car-free Sunday, the only Sunday of the year in which cars are prohibited in Brussels.“I am not going to lie to you, I came here in a taxi,” she told hosts Martin Buxant and Christophe Deborsu during the TV interview after the pair asked her how she got to the studio on a day in which no private vehicles are allowed in the city. “From my home to here, I had a 45-minute bike ride, which was a bit complicated, so I took a taxi,” she added. Taking a taxi is allowed during the Belgian capital’s car-free day but critics called her out for choosing a high-emission mode of transport. During the interview, she supported reinvesting in public transport, changing the city’s parking setup, and reducing the prices of bus and train tickets. “If people choose cars, it’s because other public transport isn’t dev...
