Harlem of the West, Book Signing & Music
Saturday, June 24, 2017, 6-10pm
The Harlem of the West SF Project is a book, website and photographic exhibit that celebrates the bustling Fillmore jazz era of the 1940s and 1950s, a period when the Fillmore was a vibrant neighborhood of more than two dozen nightclubs and music venues within its one square mile—all of which virtually vanished due to redevelopment in the 1960s. The project celebrates a unique and rediscovered chapter in jazz history and the African American experience on the West Coast.

Summer Saturday Surf Film
Saturday, June 17, 8pm
Morning of the Earth ( 1972 ) made by Alby Falzon was intended as an environmental statement presenting or suggesting an idealistic world in which surfers lived in harmony with the powers of nature. This was presented without narration or sub titles, and without any attempt to identify the surfing or the surfer’s locations, using music and imagery to provide an emotional context, and the lyrics of songs to reinforce its simple message.

Accompanying the presentation will be a fascinating slideshow featuring—in addition to song lyrics—many rare historical graphics relating to the music. A few guest artists, such as Will Ryan “The King of the Radio Cowboys” will also do their respective things.
