Jeff Denson “Outside my Window” CD Release Concert
2018-06-02 20:00 - 22:00 | Alvas Showroom, 1417 W. Eighth Street, San Pedro, CA, 90732, United States
At first glance bassist Jeff Denson appears to reinvent himself on every album, and his 12th release as leader or co-leader, 6th under his name, Outside My Window, might seem like his biggest departure yet. Possessing a huge, galvanizing sound and a lyrically-charged compositional vision, the supremely versatile Denson has earned recognition over the past 15 years as one of his generation’s definitive bassists. Jeff has performed around the world in many of the top jazz festivals and venues with some of the biggest names in jazz such as Dave Douglas, Brian Blade, Joe Lovano and many more including being a member of jazz legend, Lee Konitz’s quartet for over 12 years. Slated for release on his label Ridgeway Records on May 4, 2018, Outside My Window recalibrates his already expansive array of creative outlets by giving equal weight to his vocals. Working with a stellar international quartet, Denson delivers an emotionally taut program weaving together striking interpretations of iconic songs and deeply felt originals.
His mid-career emergence as a supple and engaging singer isn’t coming from left field. On 2012’s critically hailed Secret World, his first release under his own name, Denson included vocals on two original pieces and has continued in that fashion on most of his solo releases. On last year’s Sgt. Pepper tribute May I Introduce to You with the collective San Francisco String Trio, his vocal interpretation of “Fixing a Hole” was one of the album’s highlights. Denson’s music covers a lot of stylistic territory, “but my voice is a thread running through each one, whether I’m singing or not,” he says. “I was a singer before I was a bass player. Going into the jazz world I put my voice away for a long time. But this is a logical step for me, in that I’m using my voice more and more every year. This is the first time I’m singing throughout an entire album, and these songs are a direct continuation of the music I’ve been writing and arranging.”

2018-06-24 10:00 - 16:00 | Marine Mammal Care Center, 3601 S. Gaffey St., San Pedro, CA, 90731, United States
Celebrating its 26th year, SEAL DAY at Marine Mammal Care Center Los Angeles continues to be an annual event that invites our supporters and new visitors to our “open house.”
This event allows visitors that day to further discover that the work we do not only benefits our marine mammal patients, but also educates the public and our visitors about why our patients are there in the first place.
To help inform our visitors at this family friendly event, the day consists of guest lecturers, films, narrated rehabilitation demonstrations, and theme related children’s activities. There is also plenty of literature and other goodies handed out to take home.
Volunteers are on hand to answer questions in our patient viewing area where visitors can see how the patients are rehabilitating.
To further heighten the visitor experience, MMCC LA collaborates with over 30 other like-minded organizations that are set up in booths to inform them on environmental and ocean health topics. This also helps promote the importance of community awareness and assists in making Seal Day a special event for Los Angeles County and its coastal communities.
To add to this “festival atmosphere,” food trucks are onsite to make sure that there are refreshments, as well as music and entertainment to keep the event lively with opportunity drawings and activities.
For 2018, MMCC LA will be adding a new element to Seal Day – the “Anime Pavilion.” We hope this attraction will add to the fun atmosphere and bring new visitors and potential donors to an even more festive experience.
