CONTINUING, Oct 22-Nov 12,
Special Screenings,
in Hollywood:
"THE CINERAMA DOME'S 50th ANNIVERSARY" is being celebrated with screenings of modern classics and speaking appearances by OLIVER STONE, STEVEN SPIELBERG, MICKEY ROONEY, THORA BIRCH, MICHAEL YORK, and more, at the Cinerama Dome in Hollywood.
+
It's the 50th anniversary of one of Hollywood's most recognizable landmarks -- The Cinerama Dome, a geodesic structure boasting a screen of 32 x 86 feet with a 146 degree curve. Opened on November 7, 1963, the Dome was designed to show movies in the Cinerama process, known for its ultra-realistic projection, and is currently one of only three theaters of the kind left in the world.
+
For this event, they're screening modern classics in The Dome, featuring Q&As with industry luminaries, displaying exhibits, and offering tailored drink specials.
+
Here are the basic details:
"Raiders of the Lost Ark" screens Oct 22 at 6 pm, preceded by a Q&A with influential, Oscar-winning Director Steven Spielberg.
+
"American Beauty," winner of five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, screens Oct 25 at 7:30 pm, with a Q&A with star and Golden Globe-nominee Thora Birch after the film.
+
'How the West Was Won," winner of the Academy Award for Best Screenplay, screens Oct 27 at 12:40 pm; it was filmed in the curved-screen Cinerama process (meaning it NEEDS to be seen on this screen) and it features a cast of Hollywood royalty, including James Stewart, John Wayne, Gregory Peck, Debbie Reynolds, Henry Fonda, and Karl Malden, among many.
+
"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" screens Oct 27 at 5 pm. The first movie ever screened at The Dome, it features the biggest comedic stars of the early 1960s in a madcap adventure, starring Spencer Tracey, Milton Berle, Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Sid Caesar, Mickey Rooney and a whole host of comedic actors. The event includes "appearances" by actors Mickey Rooney, Marvin Kaplan, and Barrie Chase.
+
"Logan's Run," a sci-fi classic nominated for two Academy Awards, screens Oct 29 at 7:30 pm, and includes a Q&A with star and Emmy-nominee Michael York following the film.
+
"JFK," winner of 5 Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, screens Nov 12 at 7:30 pm, and includes a Q&A with Oliver Stone, Oscar-winning director of such films as Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, and Wall Street.

Thu, Oct 24, in L.A.:
8 pm JASON DANIELS plays a "Double CD Release party" show with FUNKYJENN & THE FRINGE BENEFITS at The Mint, 6010 W Pico Bl, Los Angeles 90035; www.TheMintLA.com
+
The "double CD" thing is one CD from each of the bands, but we're focused on Jason Daniels. And we always refrain from calling CD release shows "parties," but this one really is, with birthday cake for L.A. music scenester Kim Grant.
+
JASON DANIELS just made the Oct 10 cover of the Jackson Free Press as "an artist to watch."
He's just returning from the AMA conference in Nashville,TN where he played a benefit for Bonaparte's Retreat -- the animal rescue group started by Emmylou Harris.
+
His new album, "Dashboard Visions and Rearview Reflections," is a 10-song genre-bending  debut album with a mix of funky country-blues, a collection that reflects his range of influences: a bit of traditional country,blues,and jazz with a little New Orleans funk and a bit of the Caribbean thrown in. The lyrics draw on his recent events but also from years of travel and adventure. Daniels says its underlying message is for “people to get off their asses and go experience life!”
+
The album was recorded in East Nashville at The Bomb Shelter, the studio now famous for birthing the debut album by the Alabama Shakes. The album was recorded to 2” tape and was entirely analog up to the mixing point. Daniels enlisted Peter Keys help in playing keyboards and assembling the band, which is Jay Kott is on bass, Jeff “Shakey” Fowlkes on drums, and Daniels on guitar and vox. Other musicians lend a hand on sax, trombone and trumpet.
+
Jason Daniels is a transplanted Californian. He grew up in the Napa Valley town of St. Helena and has explored the Golden State’s music scene from the psychedelic sound that permeates Marin County to the country rock and blues scene of Southern California. He moved to Jackson, Mississippi, in 2012 after five years of living in Nashville. It’s his love for country, funk, blues and jazz that lead him to say, “Most of this music started in this part of the South. Maybe that’s why I’m here.”
+
Here's some early critical acclaim for his new CD, "Dashboard Visions and Rearview Reflections" --
+
"It does not take you long of listening to realize the variance of Jason’s American roots music influences and how he has an uncanny knack of doing interesting and entertaining things with them in both subtle hybrids and very unsubtle direct homages. Combine this with lyrics that obviously come straight from his heart... and you have a CD that defies you at times not to tap your feet, play air guitar, or sit back, close your eyes, nod your head in time to the music and smile." -- Music Morsel.
+
"If it wasn’t for his lineage, his pals and his geographic travels, we’d be saying this with tongue in cheek, but we aren’t. And what we are saying is this is the best Van Morrison record since the ones Van did in the early 70s. With Jackson, Nashville and Napa Valley in his blood, a love of blue eyed soul and the rest of the early Morrison moves in tow, this is a driving set that delivers the classic rock stuff so many are looking for but few find. Killer stuff that delightfully opens your jaded ears." -- Midwest Record.
