    • The Cultural Landscape: Part 17

    Photographer K.B. Dixon continues his series of cultural profiles with portraits of animator & filmmaker Rose Bond, painter Chris Russell, composer Judy A. Rose, Mother Foucault’s Bookshop founder Craig Florence, and writer & editor Rachel King.

    Text and Photographs by K.B. DIXON

    As with the portraits in the previous installments of this series I have focused on the talented, dedicated, and creative people who have made significant contributions to the art, character, and culture of this city and state—in this case a media artist, a painter, a composer, a bookshop owner, and a novelist.  

    My aspirations have remained the same: to document the contemporary cultural landscape and to produce a decent photograph—a photograph that acknowledges the medium’s allegiance to reality and that preserves for myself and others a unique and honest sense of the subject.

    I have returned to a more “environmental” approach in this installment. I have reintroduced the vestiges of context giving the viewer something additional to ingest and myself something additional to work with graphically.

    • The Cultural Landscape: Part 5

    Photographer K.B. Dixon continues his series of portraits with musicians Marv and Rindy Ross, artist David Eckard, actor Maureen Porter, and writer Todd Schultz.

    TEXT and PHOTOGRAPHS by K.B. DIXON

    As with the portraits in the previous installments of this series, I have focused on the talented, dedicated, and creative people who have made significant contributions to the art, character, and culture of this city and state—in this case a sculptor, two musicians, an actor, and a writer.

    My aspirations have remained the same: to document the contemporary cultural landscape and to produce a decent photograph—a photograph that acknowledges the medium’s allegiance to reality and that preserves for myself and others a unique and honest sense of the subject.

    The environmental details have again been kept to a minimum. The subjects have the frame to themselves and do not compete with context for attention. This provides for a simpler, blunter, more intense encounter with character. It is this encounter with character that animates the image.

    Marv Ross

    Songwriter, musician, and founder with wife Rindy Ross of the band Quarterflash. Over a decade the band released four albums, garnering gold and platinum records and tours with Elton John and Linda Ronstadt. In 1991 the Rosses formed Ross Productions to create music for Northwest audiences. Their first project was a musical based on diaries of immigrants on the Oregon Trail. From that project came The Trail Band and nine CDs. Ross’s second play, The Ghosts of Celilo—a Broadway-styled musical featuring Native American music and culture—was presented in October 2007 by Artists Repertory Theatre at The Portland’5 Centers for the Performing Arts. The Rosses’ latest album, released in July 2020, is A Better World.

    EDITORIAL REVIEWS The Renaissance ensemble Mignarda, a collaboration of Renaissance specialists led by the husband/wife team of lutenist Ron Andrico and mezzo soprano Donna Stewart, selected and arranged songs, ayres, ballads, and dances that are connected historically to the 17th Earl of Oxford. Several of the twenty-eight pieces in this recording even bear his name, most notably the Earl of Oxford's Galliard. Andrico has given it here it's first recording on the lute. The Renaissance harmonies take on a surprisingly modern feel in Stewart's rendition of the epic ballad of Helen of Troy from Horestes, and her languid Willow Song, Desdemona's famous lament from Othello, pulls at the heart strings -- as it surely was intended to do centuries ago. For musicologists, it should not matter that this CD is a radiant display of the poetry and music of a 16th century English nobleman. Like most things Shakespearean, it is "not for an age but for all time," and this ambient, fresh take on the ancient Renaissance art forms will find a comfy home in your car's CD changer. It should justly find a place, too, in music libraries throughout the country. It is an adventure in sound made all the more bewitching through the talents of Renaissance past-master Andrico and enchantress Stewart. In fact, the Mignarda recording is so good that it invites the criticism (always close on the heels of any Oxfordian achievement) that the success of the music is more a function of the consummate skill set of the musicians. But all composer/lyricists deserve the recording artists who can best make manifest their style. Certainly audiences will forever recall Burt Bacharach's songs sparkling in the dynamic brilliance of Dionne Warwick. Does not the music of Irving Berlin still deserve to bask in the warm glow of Bing Crosby? It is only fitting that posterity place at the disposal of the beleaguered Earl of Oxford the musicians that fully understand him. He

    American rock band

    This article is about the American rock band. For the band's first album, see Quarterflash (album).

    Quarterflash (previously stylized as QuarterFlash) was an American rock group formed in in Portland, Oregon.

    The band was originally made up of Orinda Sue "Rindy" Ross (lead vocals and saxophone) and her husband Marv Ross (guitars), along with Jack Charles (guitars), Rick DiGiallonardo (keyboards/synthesizers), Rich Gooch (electric bass), and Brian David Willis (drums and percussion). In a interview, Rindy Ross said that she viewed the saxophone as an extension of her voice, enabling her to express things she could not express with her voice alone.

    Recording history

    The group was formed by merging two popular Oregon bands, Seafood Mama (formerly Beggars Opera) and Pilot (not to be confused with the Scottish band of "Magic" fame). Continuing under the name Seafood Mama, the
