I’m needing something sultry but sophisticated; laid back but toe-tapping. Django Reinhardt’s Blue Drag arranged by Allen Toussaint, from his album “The Bright Mississippi”.  Just because …

 

We at San Diego Free Press love watching all kinds of video. Those short visual stories entertain, inform, and agitate in a way completely different from the written word.

Since our platform is about expressing ideas and ideals instead of cash flow, clicks, or fundraising, we have the freedom to include a wide range of topics and formats that might not work elsewhere. We don’t need or want paid content, promotional materials, or story lines designed to please donors.

So the idea here is to present videos one or more of the editors feel speaks to them. Sometimes it will be news. Sometimes it will be history. And a lot of the time it will be culture. You can not and should not separate these things: it is diversity and intersectionality that makes our movement strong.

Feel free to suggest videos at contact@sandiegofreepress.org

      Glad to hear that you enjoyed it! That’s one reason why we do what we do. I really recommend checking out the other cuts from the that album, too. There’s a version of St. James Infirmary that will have your toe tapping, too.

Let it be known that Frank Gormlie, Patty Jones, Doug Porter, Annie Lane, Brent Beltrán, Anna Daniels, and Rich Kacmar did something necessary and beautiful together for 6 1/2 years.
