Vegan Vagabond At the bus stop, I saw a homeless man ask a bystander for change. The bystander explained that he only had a credit card and proceeded to the McDonald’s around the corner. About 10 minutes later, he returned, smiling, with a bag in hand, which he handed to the homeless man. I watched the man’s face crumple into confusion as the homeless man explained how he was vegan for health reasons before huffing down the last of his cigarette.

SOUND EXPERIMENTS The ‘cool’ counterpart to Summer Fest, San Jose Jazz Winter Fest features more experimental artists, youth performances
A
FTER kicking off last Friday with a “future jazz” set from Brooklynbased producer, pianist and DJ, Taylor McFerrin—a Flying Lotus and Thundercat collaborator—San Jose Jazz Winter Fest is set to really take off with a glut of performances from traditional jazz players as well as boundary-pushing artists like McFerrin. The so-called “cool” counterpart to SJ Jazz’s Summer Fest, organizers of this, the fifth annual Winter Fest, have made it clear that they want to use the darker, drearier months of the year as a “lab,” where they can bring in artists who challenge ideas about exactly what jazz can be and should be. This year’s Winter Fest is not only making an effort to provide a stage for younger, more experimental artists—such as McFerrin, Kris Bowers, Marc Cary and Kendrick Scott Oracle— the festival is also bringing a cohort of high school jazz musicians into the fold. “There is a lot of exceptional young talent out there,” says Brendan Rawson, San Jose Jazz’s executive director. Giving the youth a stage is an important part of his organization’s educational mission. Read on to learn more about the genre-bending Marc Cary Focus Trio, Winter Fest’s youth performances and five must-see shows over the coming week. San Jose Jazz Winter Fest runs through March 8. —Nick Veronin

Marc Cary views jazz as a constant ‘flow’—perpetually —perpettually changing, while never forgetting its history ry
BY JOHN FLYNN
J
azz informs almost every American genre, but keyboard savant Marc Cary flips this formula. He employs modern techniques learned over a multi-decade career to advance the sound of this revered style of music. “Jazz is a timeline for me,” says Cary, who definitely falls into Winter Fest’s more progressive category. “I like to bring things that are current, because that’s what they did back then. The most current thing is always dance. That’s why I try so many different things, so I hear not only the differences, but the similarities of what makes people move.” Backed by percussionist Terreon Gully and bassist Tarus Mateen, Cary is expanding jazz as the head of his world-class Focus Trio. “We use electricity so we can do whatever we want to do,” Cary explains. “Jazz is just like electricity, you tap into it, but you have to bring something to it. The history of jazz is just what they tapped into at that point. So, I believe the energy of jazz is a flow, it’s a current, and it gives you an understanding, but it doesn’t keep you there.” On their newest album, Rhodes Ahead Vol. 2, the trio display a great sonic versatility—epitomized by the range of Cary’s keyboard, that world-famous workhorse, the Fender Rhodes. During “Astral Flight,” the record’s fifth track, a groundwork of drum ’n’ bass melds with its shimmering rhythm, as Indian tablas gallop alongside a psychedelic synth solo and a delicate keyboard melody. This blend of electric and acoustic instruments opens up a bounty of
new possibilities, ties, giving the trio o nge of ne w to ols to o a dynamic range new tools sculpt their vision ision of jaz jazz—a z—a vis vision sion Cary began realizing ealizing as a tr troubled oubled Washington D.C.

BITES
MADE TO ORDER Kitchit Tonight connects customers with personal chefs for in-home fine dining.
Chefs on Demand
T
HINK OF IT as the Uber X of fine dining. Log on to the website, plug in your address, the time of the meal, number of guests and choose from a list of menus. For $39 a head and up ($9 for children), Kitchit Tonight sends a personal chef to your home to prepare a dinner for a few diners or a dozen.
“The chefs pick all the groceries, they prepare the food, they do all of the clean up—you don’t have to worry about all that,” says Emily Webb, spokeswoman for the Bay Area-based startup. “It’s not just about this incredible food, which is locally sourced and prepared just for you, it’s about using technology so you can connect with people you love.” Come next week, Kitchit Tonight is expanding into the South Bay, launching service in Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Atherton and Stanford. “Opening Kitchit Tonight in the Peninsula feels like coming home,” said Brendan Marshall, the co-founder and CEO of Kitchit. “Kitchit started as a research project while attending Stanford University, so it’s exciting to come back to this community and share what we’ve built.” In its earliest iteration four years ago, personal chef-on-demand Kitchit was a premium service charging $100 a head for dinner parties of 10 or more. After securing $7.5 million in venture funding last fall, the company cooked up a more affordable option, which Entrepreneur Magazine called “bespoke dining for the 99 percent.” Kitchit chefs undergo background checks, make $30 an hour and tend to be recent culinary school graduates or moonlighting sous chefs. An executive chef based out of the company’s San Francisco headquarters curates the menus, which include starters, entrees and desserts. By narrowing menu selections, but still keeping veggie and gluten-free options, Kitchit was able to keep costs down. Competing chef-on-demand services—like EatWith and Feastly—hire amateur chefs and organize supper-club gatherings to connect customers with groups of people they don’t know. Kitchit, however, hires only professional chefs, sends them to a home and lets the customer invite their own guests. And unlike food-delivery apps, which bring ready-made meals to your doorstep, Kitchit emphasizes the social experience, Webb says. “When I’m hosting a party, I know I don’t want to worry about the mess or spend all my time in the kitchen,” she says. “The chefs work with you to create this fun, memorable event.”—Jennifer Wadsworth KITCHIT TONIGHT $39 per person. Meals must be scheduled in advance, or before 1pm for same-day service. kitchit.com.

CLOSEUP An upcoming exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art offers an intimate glimpse into the process of one of Mexico’s preeminent muralists.
Detail Work THOUGH HE IS best known for his vibrant, expressive, domineering and poignant mural work, an upcoming exhibition at the San Jose Museum of Art (SJMA) will showcase a more delicate side to the process and output of renowned Mexican artist Jose Clemente Orozco. Pulling from the private collection of Michael Wornick, a longtime collector of Latin American art, SJMA will be presenting a number of Orozco’s figure drawings—on view to the public for the first time, as part of the exhibition “Figure Studies,” running from March 13 through Sept. 13. A key figure in the early Twentieth Century Mexican Muralism movement, Orozco was part of the “Los Tres Grandes,” a trio of Mexican muralists, which also includes contemporaries Diego Rivera and David Alfaro Siqueiros.
“Figure Studies” Mar 13-Sep 13, $5-8 San Jose Museum of Art sjmusart.org
Orozco was initially drawn to the power of art while watching printmaker Jose Guadalupe Posada work out of his engraving shop on his way to school. After initially studying agriculture at his family’s request, Orozco studied drawing at Academia de San Carlos in Mexico City. He continued working as an artist even after he lost his left hand in a fireworks accident at 21.
For those familiar with Orozco’s work, these drawings will serve as a minimal counterpoint to his mural work, notable in its scale and vibrancy. The exhibit will also provide a great opportunity for viewers to hone in on the nuance and precision that can be overlooked when examining his massive works. Here, Orozco focuses on the power of a gesture or the particular shape of tense muscles. The intimacy of these pieces highlight the emotion present even in the details of his work, which often focused on human plight. From 1927 to 1934, Orozco spent time in the U.S., crafting murals throughout the country. He painted a mural at Pomona College in 1930, which Orozco himself noted was the first fresco painted outside his native Mexico by a painter of the Contemporary Mexican School. During this time, he also painted a series of 24 murals, collectively known as “The Epic of American Civilization,” at Dartmouth College. The series, designated a national historic landmark in 2013, later inspired artists Philip Guston and Jackson Pollock. “Figure Studies,” a world premiere, will be a rare peek inside the preliminary steps Orozco took in constructing his grand pieces.—Brandon E.
