They're finally releasing their first full length album on the french independant label Kif Records. Titled Clin d'oeil, their album is a tribute to the golden age of hiphop, taking its strength from the roots of black music and more notably in jazz music. Throughout the album, you can hear the sound of old jazz fusion records from the 70's mixed with samples and live instruments on which Jazz Liberatorz have invited la creme de la creme of the independent hiphop soul & jazz scene.

Of particular note was Moore's development of the ULDB, or ultralight displacement boat, which particularly excelled in windy downwind sailing conditions. Moore 24 sailboat called Grendel set off a revolution heard 'round the world, and soon several others including Bill Lee and George Olson were building yachts half the weight of similar length models in the marketplace and winning many many races. This group set the sailing world on it's ear and changed the course of yacht design forever. Supporting this trend was a sailing cohort equally at home surfing as they were sailing, and thus were able to race these yachts with tremendous skill and agility. Moore recognized this and, along with his wife Martha, ran a boatyard that catered to the lifestyle, including a hot tub and full barbecue. "Fast is Fun" soon became the motto of a whole generation of sailors, several of whom went on to achieve Olympic medals and world championships as a result of their training in the Moore 24 class.

Mister Michael

Mister Michael, Michael Garth Kinsell is an educator, songwriter, and children's television host. Kinsell is the host of the new children's series Michael's Enchanted Neighborhood, which has taking over for the late Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers Neighborhood on PBS. Michael's Enchanted Neighborhood continues to promote the enduring and endearing messages advocated by the late Fred Rogers. As Mister Michael, Kinsell produces the new production in San Diego California with US Public Broadcasting Station KPBS and his non profit organization Family Entertainment, Inc.
Television careerMichael's Enchanted Neighborhood: Michael's Enchanted Neighborhood began filming in September of 2007 at the KPBS Member station. As creator and writer, Kinsell has based his television series on child development principles from his own studies and work with consultants, assuring that this carefully structured program can help children develop the skills they will need for learning -- skills like: Self-esteem, The ability to deal with their feelings, Self-control, Imagination, Creativity, Curiosity about their world, Appreciation of diversity, Cooperation, Tolerance for waiting, Persistence, and the Ability to handle rules and limits. Each week of Michael’s Enchanted Neighborhood has a theme which is carried through Mister Michael’s conversation and songs, through visits with neighbors or guests, and through the puppet story in the Enchanted Neighborhood. Because the ideas are inter-related in the day and in the week, children can absorb them and learn about them in lots of different ways. The predictable format of each Neighborhood program helps children feel more comfortable and, therefore, more open to learning about new things or new ways of looking at their everyday experiences and feelings. The television visit begins in Mister Michael’s "television house" with the song: "It‘s a Lovely day Today to Play," an invitation that includes everyone, no matter what a person looks like, or what he or she can or cannot do. His familiar routine of changing to a sweater and sneakers, adapting the concept from Fred Rogers, is a way of saying, "Let's have some relaxing time together." Mister Michael usually brings something to show -- stimulating curiosity and creative thinking. Often his regular neighbors, special celebrity guests-- musicians, artists, pediatricians, athletes or plumbers -- drop by to share their interests and friendship. A favorite part of many Neighborhood programs, like in Mister Rogers, is a visit to a factory to learn how people make familiar childhood things -- crayons, stuffed animals, spoons, zippers, etc. These tours help children value work and know that things are made through a "process" with a beginning, middle, and end. With the focus on people, children gain an understanding of "work" and an appreciation for the work that people do. Mister Michael uses a red model Biplane to introduce the Enchanted Neighborhood where the theme of the day or week is played out in a puppet story. It's a fantasy area, clearly separate from Mister Michael’s house -- to help children sort out what's real and what's pretend. Puppets and friendly humans help each other with problems and concerns, modeling cooperative and constructive problem solving. They also join together in whimsical fun and celebrations. Afterward, Mister Michael helps children reflect on the feelings and happenings presented in Make-Believe. Along with his familiar closing song “Tomorrow”, every day he offers a reassuring message that helps children feel good about who they are and who they can become.

Ron Moore, Santa Cruz boatbuilder
Ron Moore is largely credited with early modern yacht design and boatbuilding efforts in Santa Cruz, California, where counter-culture ideas flourished in the late '70s and continue to guide freethinking, creative individuals today.
Of particular note was Moore's development of the ULDB, or ultralight displacement boat, which particularly excelled in windy downwind sailing conditions. Moore 24 sailboat called Grendel set off a revolution heard 'round the world, and soon several others including Bill Lee and George Olson were building yachts half the weight of similar length models in the marketplace and winning many many races. This group set the sailing world on it's ear and changed the course of yacht design forever.
Supporting this trend was a sailing cohort equally at home surfing as they were sailing, and thus were able to race these yachts with tremendous skill and agility.
