Happy birthday to the great Kurt Weill (born March 2, 1900). His music continues to inspire me.

Recording Wainwright Does Weill with the Pacific Jazz Orchestra has been a deeply meaningful way to celebrate his work.

Despite ICE’s killing of Renee Good, Congress is debating adding millions more to the Department of Homeland Security’s budget. We can’t stay quiet about this! Call your senator today and tell them: No more money for ICE.
