On the Net: http://www "The Coda Fund is giving back something that the city forgot to give, and that's recognition," said Barbara Dennis " In music, the coda marks the spot where a repeated section skips ahead, usually to a point near the end of a composition He knew him like I know my own children They knew it up north, and they knew it down south "We started talking about all the fund-raisers they were going to have so they could bury him," Penn said I call them our undercover angels Williams was only a few yards away from the elaborate slab covering Parker's resting place The fund officially launched in April 2002, with its first benefit concert a month later Among this year's featured acts were singer Karrin Allyson and alto sax player Bobby Watson â€â€? both natives of the area who have earned national acclaim " The Coda Jazz Fund paid for Dennis' funeral and cremation â€â€? down to the programs and a courtesy car for the family " Penn is a native of Kansas City, Kan The fund bought headstones for bassist David Daahoud Williams and trumpeter-bandleader Oliver Todd, who lay for years in unmarked graves And after a lifetime of playing for a living, some musicians can't afford the cost of dying "They knew it on the East Coast Funeral Fund Provides for Jazz Pioneers Jun 13, 1:27 PM EST They soared with Bird and got down with the Count, putting the intersection of 18th and Vine on every jazz fan's map "This is the first time that homage is really being paid to the people who made 18th and Vine what it is, and that's the musicians "It was the Kansas City style," said 87-year-old pianist and bandleader Jay "Hootie" McShann, who gave sax icon Charlie "Bird" Parker his first steady gig, in 1940 The fund also paid to mark the graves of entertainer Speedy Huggins and pianist-singer Elbert "Coots" Dye That's where the Coda Jazz Fund steps in They knew it on the West Coast ' But I saw the goodwill Emanuel Cleaver, who led the drive to renovate the 18th and Vine district when he was mayor from 1991 to 1999 The second concert was May 17 at the Gem Theatre in the 18th and Vine Jazz District military, though coalition forces say they have taken great pains to avoid damage to cultural and historical sites McGuire Gibson, a University of Chicago professor and president of the American Association for Research in Baghdad, was infuriated The doors of the vaults were opened or smashed, and everything was taken, museum workers said Left behind were row upon row of empty glass cases â€â€? some smashed up, others left intact â€â€? heaps of crumbled pottery and hunks of broken statues scattered across the exhibit floors "This is the property of this nation and the treasure of 7,000 years of civilization If there is a market, they'll go into the market A museum employee, reduced to tears after coming to the museum Saturday and finding her office and all administrative offices trashed by looters, said: "It is all the fault of the Americans "This is just one of the most tragic things that could happen for our being able to understand the past," Newby said S Some of the gold artifacts may be melted down, but most pieces will find their way into the hands of private collectors, he said " John Russell, a professor of art history and archaeology at the Massachusetts College of Art, feared for the safety of the staff of Iraq's national antiquities department, also housed at the museum; for irreplaceable records of every archaeological expedition in Iraq since the 1930s; for perhaps hundreds of thousands of artifacts from 10,000 years of civilization, both on display and in storage "You think Saddam is now gone, so you can do what you like," he raged This is Iraq's civilization He claimed to be there to protect the museum from plundering Only the educated know the value of these pieces Samuel Paley, a professor of classics at the State University of New York, Buffalo, predicted whatever treasures aren't sold will be trashed " Koichiro Matsuura, head of the U Gone were irreplaceable archaeological treasures from the Cradle of Civilization The man with the assault rifle walked into the museum, accused journalists there of stealing artifacts and ordered them to leave And it's all gone now He said he had been in frequent and frantic touch with U What does this country think it is doing?" asked Ali Mahmoud, a museum employee, futility and frustration in his voice In an unchecked frenzy of cultural theft, looters who pillaged government buildings and businesses after the collapse of Saddam Hussein's regime also targeted the museum The museum is in the Al-Salhiya neighborhood of Baghdad, with its back to a poor neighborhood Its eyes were gouged out, nose flattened, ears and beard cut off, apparently by subjects who took their revenge on his image â€â€? much the same way as Iraqis mutilated statues of Saddam Other treasures believed to be housed at the museum â€â€? such as the Ram in the Thicket from Ur, a statue representing a deity from 2600 BC â€â€? are no doubt gone, perhaps forever, he said It could not be determined whether the tablets were at the museum when the war broke out " The Americans could have prevented the looting, agreed Patty Gerstenblith, a professor at DePaul School of Law in Chicago who helped circulate a petition before the war, urging that care be taken to protect Iraqi antiquities Everything that could be carried out has disappeared from the museum â€â€? gold bowls and drinking cups, ritual masks worn in funerals, elaborately wrought headdresses, lyres studded with jewels â€â€? priceless craftsmanship from ancient Mesopotamia 's cultural agency, UNESCO, on Saturday urged American officials to send troops to protect what was left of the museum's collection, and said the military should step in to stop looting and destruction at other key archaeological sites and museums Early Saturday, five armed men showed up at the gate: One was armed with a Kalashnikov, three carried pistols, one wielded an iron bar The looters are "people trying to feed themselves," said Paley, who has spent years tracking Assyrian reliefs previously looted from Nimrud in Northern Iraq The governments of Russia, Jordan and Greece also voiced deep concern about the looting The museum itself was battered " She refused to give her name The looting, he said, "is destroying the history of the very people that are there Iraq National Museum Treasures Plundered Apr 12, 5:05 PM EST The famed Iraq National Museum, home of extraordinary Babylonian, Sumerian and Assyrian collections and rare Islamic texts, sat empty Saturday â€â€? except for shattered glass display cases and cracked pottery bowls that littered the floor "I understand three or four have been recovered," he said Jordan urged the United Nations to take steps to protect Iraq's historic sites, a "national treasure for the Iraqi people and an invaluable heritage for the Arab and Islamic worlds Much of the looting occurred Thursday, according to a security guard who stood by helplessly as hoards broke into the museum with wheelbarrows and carts and stole priceless jewelry, clay tablets and manuscripts Sensing its treasures could be in peril, museum curators secretly removed antiquities from their display cases before the war and placed them into storage vaults â€â€? but to no avail One of the men said he was a member of the feared Fedayeen Saddam militia N " Gordon Newby, a historian and professor of Middle Eastern studies at Emory University in Atlanta, said the museum's most famous holding may have been tablets with Hammurabi's Code â€â€? one of mankind's earliest codes of law Its marble staircase was chipped, likely by looters using pushcarts or heavy slabs of wood to carry booty down from the second floor military officials since Wednesday, imploring them to send troops "in there and protect that building S That lead one museum employee to suspect that others familiar with the museum may have participated in the theft " Some blamed the U "The fact that the vaults were opened suggests that employees of the museum may have been involved," said the employee, who declined to be identified "These are the foundational cornerstones of Western civilization," Russell said, and are literally priceless â€â€? which he said will not prevent them from finding a price on the black market Among them, he said, was the copper head of an Akkadian king, at least 4,300 years old The chances of recovery are slim; regional museums were looted after the 1991 Gulf War, and 4,000 pieces were lost "It was completely inexcusable and avoidable," she said "To ordinarily people, these are just stones "When they find there's no market, they'll throw them away |
