Text from Cake baked by us, .co //// If you think we’re a ‘house divided’ today...Abraham Lincoln was elected president the first time around with barely 40% of the popular vote.

39.8% to be precise.

That’s mainly because he got no votes—zero—in the 10 slave states where his name wasn’t on the ballot. Although, if for some reason his name had actually been on the ballot in those states, it wouldn’t have made much difference: he was on the ballot in Virginia, a slave state, and got all of 1% of the vote.

To make matters worse, by the time Lincoln arrived in Washington for his inauguration on March 4, 1861, seven of those slave states had already seceded from the Union. They didn’t even wait for him to take office.

And Jefferson Davis had already been sworn in as president of the CSA.

Yet Lincoln managed to save the union, abolish slavery and change our founding story from the slavery-accommodating Constitution to the Declaration of Independence, which declared that ours was “a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

Glad he made it to the White House when he did.

Happy Birthday, President Lincoln.

I worked with Javon Jackson on this cover for his latest scrumptious album, and the last one, sadly, for Nikki Giovanni. Here’s an abridged review from All About Jazz: ///

Javon & Nikki go to the movies is a charming and soulful collaboration that brings together the poetic eloquence of Nikki Giovanni and the masterful tenor saxophone stylings of Javon Jackson. The album is a delightful journey through some of the standards of the Great American Songbook, featuring songs famously associated with classic Hollywood movies. The repertoire also draws from a broader range of sources, including three Jackson originals and one from the pen of Sonny Rollins. Jackson is accompanied by a stellar group of long- time associates, including pianist Jeremy Manasia, bassist David Williams and drummer McClenty Hunter. The group is also joined by Grammy-winning vocalist Nicole Zuraitis, who adds depth with her interpretations on three tracks.

The album opens with a Jackson original, “When the Time is Right,” covered by the quartet. Jackson’s saxophone takes centre stage, with his rich, warm tone controlling the musical narrative. The rhythm section, particularly McClenty Hunter, provides a supple and dynamic foundation, allowing Jackson’s tenor to soar. The Kurt Weill/Ogden Nash classic “Speak Low” was initially written for the 1943 Broadway show One Touch Of Venus and was featured in the 1948 movie version; it is given a bossa-nova flavoured interpretation here. Midway through, supported by Manasia’s expressive piano, Giovanni makes her first appearance with a bold reading of her provocative poem “That Day.”

The spotlight shines on Zuraitis in her three tracks, beginning with “How About You” from the 1941 Judy Garland/Mickey Rooney movie Babes on Broadway, followed by “I Belong to You” from the little-seen 1955 Kirk Douglas feature The Racers, and finally “The Folks Who Live on the Hill” from the 1937 release High, Wide and Handsome. Throughout these classic songs, Zuraitis’ delivery is perfectly matched with the underlying construct of the compositions as she captures the emotional range of the lyrics.
