The Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra Grammy Award winning pianist, composer and educator Arturo O’Farrill — leader of the "first family of Afro-Cuban Jazz" (NY Times) — was born in Mexico and grew up in New York City. Son of the late, great composer Chico O’Farrill, Arturo was Educated at Manhattan School of Music, Brooklyn College Conservatory and the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College. He played piano in Carla Bley’s Big Band from 1979 through 1983 and earned a reputation as a soloist in groups led by Dizzy Gillespie, Steve Turre, Freddy Cole, Lester Bowie, Wynton Marsalis and Harry Belafonte.

 Trains, buses and trams in and out of the city were packed, with many people walking into town. Men played football in and out of the city crowds using a kerosene tin for a football, flags and bunting appeared on shops, buildings and ships in the harbour, while confetti rained from office windows on a victory parade. 

It was the end of three months doing it tough on the US amateur golf circuit, sometimes sleeping on the fl oor of cheap hotel rooms, to suddenly being invited to play the US Masters and US and British opens. Flanagan led US teenager Casey Wittenberg for 35 holes of the 36-hole man-on-man final, and was four up after 18 holes, but tightened down the stretch and dropped a shot on the last to allow Wittenberg to tie.

The logistics are complex but Utsuno, the company’s president, tells his staff to never decline a job that seems too difficult.

But it is a visible part of building,” says Utsuno. “As long as we do a great job architects and designers will find us.”

My brand new pickup had its left hind cocked up like a dog markin’ his territory. It took an hour on the lonely road for a meandering hay truck to rumble by. It was equipped with snow chains. They backed up to me and, with a screech and a whomp, pulled me off the jack.
