Something a little different — jazz from Oscar Peterson
By Elliott Brack, special to Charleston Currents | How about a little something different today?
Let me introduce you to a 6.53 minute video with some of the most soothing music I have ever heard. The work comes from the late jazz virtuoso Oscar Peterson, and it is a composition of his own, which he entitled, “Ode To Freedom.”
The short video came from one of my daughters, who knew that Oscar Peterson was my favorite jazz pianist. We have often enjoyed CDs of his music, amazed at his tremendous speed and dexterity in playing the keyboard. Yet, at this track below shows, Peterson could also play with great emotion and depth.
What I would like for you to do is listen here right on your computer to the music. It was first recorded in Denmark in the 1960s and somehow was preserved on video. I usually merely listen to the music, not actually keeping my eyes on the screen, but sitting back, often closing my eyes, and merely listening. It seems to me to be even more soothing this way, you don’t have to watch Mr. Peterson continue to whip his face from prodigious sweating while he works, or have to pay attention to the keyboard, or get distracted by the drums (Ed Thigpen) and bass (Ray Brown) in the background.
Now, wasn’t that enjoyable? Don’t know about you, but once I listen to it, I often listen again. It calms and energizes me. First comes that slow, simple series of notes on the piano, and a little later the bass and drums quietly join in. Mr. Peterson carries this theme through two variations, before you hear those same notes in the background which tells me he’s about to go into another variation of his music. Even when he’s playing up-and-down the keyboard, often quite fast, still those same, almost-hidden notes come through, continuing the quiet theme. To me, that’s fantastic. So simple…..so elegant…so enjoyable.
Oscar Peterson was a Canadian, born in Montreal in 1925, and died in 2007. He was a big person, always smiling personality, and played the piano with a 14-note hand span. His early training was in classical music. He had his own weekly radio show at age 14, and grew in stature and style from there. One called him the “maharaja of the keyboard,” as he made over 200 recordings, and won eight Grammys. Another source called him “Possibly the most successful artist produced by Canada.”
His Oscar Peterson Trio featured Ray Brown on bass and Herbie Ellis on guitar. Later, when Ellis left, Ed Thigpen replaced him, this time on drums.
One source wrote that Peterson was a master of “cascades of many notes.” There is no doubt that he could really command the keyboard, sometimes pounding it with intensity, and at other times playing it like a cat purring. He continued to perform until 2006, though his public appearances were sporadic after a stroke in 1993 which affected the use of his left hand, and his ability to walk.
If you want to hear more of Oscar Peterson’s music, so much is available on the internet today. Just Google his name, and enjoy his music. How’s this for something different today!

BRACK: Stop dividing America with words evoking racial terror
By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | “Lynching” is a word that should be discarded from political discourse, especially throughout the South where thousands died from racial terror after the Civil War.
President Trump, now under intense scrutiny in a growing impeachment inquiry by the U.S. House of Representatives, tweeted in a diatribe in the wee hours of Oct. 22 that “All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here – a lynching.”
No, Mr. President. You’re wrong. You are not being lynched. You are not being physically ripped from the White House, bundled up ropes and taken by a mob for execution by shooting, hanging, burning or something as horrible.
What is happening, sir, is that you are facing the very process you deny is happening – due process required by the Constitution to investigate whether you and your administration violated the law in discussions with a foreign country. For the U.S. House – Democrats and Republicans – to do less is for them to abrogate their sworn duty.
But because you don’t like what’s happening, can’t control it and want it to go away, you lash out, denigrate and act as unpresidential as any man to ever hold the top office in the land. Perhaps you’re trying to get people to pity you and massage your big ego. Perhaps you’re saying outrageous things to create further division, hoping to sweep under the rug any “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors” (Article Two, Section 4 of the U.S. Constitution) by your administration.
From 1877 to 1950, an estimated 185 South Carolinians were racially lynched, according to the Equal Justice Initiative. So using a word like “lynching” to describe a process required in constitutional law is beyond the pale. Even as a rhetorical flourish in political debate, it is dangerous and politically patronizing because it reinforces 19th-century attitudes on race. It causes fear. It exacerbates the political and racial divide in a country with a sorry history of dealing with its past sins.
Your political ally, South Carolina’s own U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham, should know better, too. In a defense of you, he rightfully said lynching was mob rule, but he whitewashed its true meaning by failing to admit its violence: “Yes, African-Americans were lynched, other people have people lynched throughout history. What does lynching mean? That a mob grabs you, they don’t give you a chance to defend yourself, they don’t tell you what happened to you, they just destroy you.”
Most lynching victims ended up dead, as described in a horrifying column by Michele Norris of the Race Card Project in the Washington Post: “Lynching was a fact of life for much of this country’s existence. It was the green light for decapitating the victim and the impulse to place a head on a stick and then place that stick into the ground on a well-traveled road and leave it there until the sun or the birds or the vermin had their way. Lynching was sometimes not enough. Bodies were burned and blowtorched and branded. They were gutted and skinned like animals. They were castrated, scalped, dismembered.”
Yet the president is alive and kicking. He is flailing away, destroying civility and American institutions, as recognized by some of Graham’s congressional colleagues.
South Carolina’s Tim Scott, the Senate’s only black Republican, didn’t describe the impeachment inquiry as a lynching. Rather, he said, “There’s no question that the impeachment process is the closest thing to a political death row trial, so I get his absolute rejection of the process. I wouldn’t use the word lynching.”
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, a South Carolina Democrat, went further on CNN: “I’m a product of the South. I know the history of that word. That is a word that we ought to be very, very careful about using.” Clyburn said he recognized that Trump was “prone to inflammatory statements, and that is one word that no president ought to apply to himself.”
Yet the president continues to lash out at American institutions to try to save his hide. From now until the 2020 election, he’ll likely ramp up the rhetoric to create more division and fear. Stop it. It’s wrong. Face the music.

South Carolina Ports Authority
Founded in 1942, the South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) owns and operates public marine terminals at two port facilities, the Port of Charleston and the Port of Georgetown, in addition to inland ports in Greer and Dillon, S.C. These facilities are owner-operated terminals, meaning the SCPA owns the terminals, operates all container cranes, manages and operates all container storage yards and leads all customer service functions in both the yard and the lanes.
SCPA promotes, develops and facilitates waterborne commerce to meet the current and future needs of its customers, and for the economic benefit of the citizens and businesses of South Carolina. In fact, SCPA facilities in Charleston, Dillon, Georgetown and Greer drive $53 billion in annual statewide economic impact and 1 in every 11 SC jobs is attributed to the Port.

MUSC’s DuBois earns major honor
Staff reports | Dr. Raymond N. DuBois, dean of the College of Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, has been elected to the National Academy of Medicine. According to a press release, that puts him in the company of an elite group of internationally-renowned scientists and doctors, including Nobel laureates, who are also members. With only 75 new members elected each year across a broad range of medical disciplines, becoming part of the 50-year-old organization is considered one of the highest honors in the fields of health and medicine.
“It’s quite an honor,” said DuBois, the second professor at MUSC to win the honor. “I am delighted that Chanita and I can represent MUSC and the state of South Carolina in the national discussion about crucial health care and science issues.”
National Academy of Medicine President Victor Dzau called the new members exceptional scholars and leaders whose work has advanced science, medicine and health around the world. “Their expertise will be vital to addressing today’s most pressing health and scientific challenges and informing the future of health and medicine for the benefit of us all.”
DuBois is known for his work illuminating the relationship between inflammation and cancer. He’s part of a team that made a landmark discovery involving an enzyme in colorectal tumors that led to a better understanding of how colorectal cancer grows and spreads to other areas of the body – and, more importantly, how to fight that with anti-inflammatory drugs.
“In my research lab at MUSC, we’re hoping to figure out what can be done to reduce the ability of cancer to progress at the very earliest stage,” he said. “We’ve been looking at changes in pre-cancerous cells that are crucial for them to progress into a full-blown cancer. We are targeting those pathways to determine if we can intercept the cancerization process.”
In addition to his ongoing work as a researcher, DuBois is a national leader in the cancer community. He’s a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, a fellow and a past president of the American Association for Cancer Research. He’s also a former president of the Southern Society for Clinical Investigation and the International Society for Gastrointestinal Cancer.
In his role as a dean at MUSC, DuBois is responsible for overseeing the educational and research programs of the College of Medicine. That includes more than 700 students, 780 trainees and annual research funding coming from outside of MUSC of about $250 million. He also oversees 25 basic science and clinical departments with over 1,300 faculty members and directs a cancer research lab in the Biochemistry Department.
In other area news:
Ports make $63 billion impact. The S.c. Ports Authority creates 1 in 10 South Carolina jobs and has a $63.4 billion annual economic impact, according to a new impact study. from the University of South Carolina’s Darla Moore School of Business .“S.C. Ports Authority has further established itself as one of our state’s premier economic drivers,” Gov. Henry McMaster said in a statement. The analysis showed S.C. Ports’s operations and associated activities correspond to nearly 225,000 jobs and $12.8 billion in wages and salaries for South Carolinians that would otherwise not exist. Port operations account for 10% of the state’s economy and generate $1.1 billion in tax revenue annually for the state, the study found. “Port operations create high-paying jobs and attract port-dependent businesses to locate or expand throughout the state,” said the study’s author, research economist Joey Von Nessen of the University of South Carolina. “South Carolina’s success is intrinsically tied to S.C. Ports Authority’s continued growth.”

Why the need to impeach?
To the editor:
Thanks for writing the article about Tom Steyer. He makes a compelling commercial; however, I wonder why the “need to impeach.”
It’s pretty clear that the Democrats need is more to overturn an election based on, pardon the expression, Trumped-up charges. Why not try to beat him at the ballot box rather than try to drag the country through a faux impeachment process?
— Philip Tackett, Summerville, S.C.

Our previous Mystery Photo
Our Oct. 21 mystery, “Big, white building” showed Colleton County’s courthouse in Walterboro.
Congratulations to those who guessed correctly: George Graf of Palmyra, Va.; Jim McMahan, Neal Kinard and Stephen Yetman, all of Charleston; Bill Segars of Hartsville; Chris Brooks of Mount Pleasant; Jay Altman of Columbia; Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas; Marnie Huger of Richmond, Va.; and Charlie Morrison of James Island.
Graf provided this context: “The design of the courthouse is attributed to the architect Robert Mills. Robert Mills (1781–1855), a South Carolina architect known for designing both the first Washington Monument, located in Baltimore, Maryland, as well as the better-known monument to the first president in the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C. He is sometimes said to be the first native-born American to be professionally trained as an architect.”
Segars added, “Even though it has had many additions and renovations completed on it, the building still holds many of Mills’ trademark design features such as fireproof brick construction covered with stucco and a Greek Revival style of appearance. It was listed in the National Register on May 14, 1971.”

HISTORY: Edisto River
S.C. Encyclopedia | Rising in the coastal plain, the Edisto is one of the longest free-flowing black-water rivers in North America. The river takes its characteristic hue from the tannic acid created by the decomposition of leaves and branches. The Edisto River is formed by the joining of its north and south forks on the border of Orangeburg and Bamberg Counties and, along its course, provides the natural boundary between Dorchester and Colleton Counties. It divides into two tidewater estuarial channels, forming Edisto Island, before meeting the Atlantic Ocean in St. Helena Sound. The river flows for about 250 unobstructed river miles from its headwaters to the ocean. The Edisto is part of the ACE Basin, a coastal river system that includes the Ashepoo and the Combahee and drains about twenty percent of the state.
Pottery recovered near the Edisto suggests that Native Americans lived by the river over three thousand years ago. When Europeans and Africans first entered the area, they found that it was home to the Kussos, a Native American tribe. The Kussos were joined by a splinter group of Natchez Indians in the early 1700s, and the two formed a single tribe that would eventually take the name Edisto after the river that flowed through their territory. Descendants of both the Kusso-Natchez Indians and African slaves still call the area of the Edisto River Basin their home.
By the late eighteenth century, rice plantations in tidally affected reaches of the Edisto began implementing tidewater rice culture. Thousands of slaves labored to clear fields and build dams, sluices, and gates. The lengthy Edisto was also used to transport upland cotton and timber to the coast in the antebellum years before the railroads superseded rivers as avenues of commerce.
The Edisto River flows through sparsely populated and generally undeveloped forest and cypress-tupelo swamps, and has been nationally recognized for its scenic beauty and ecological value. The unique character of the river has been preserved through ongoing conservation efforts.
