From the KPBS/Arts newsletter: Maybe I've been working in local arts for too long, but if you gave me two seconds to name whatever jazz trumpeters first came to mind, I'd say Miles Davis and Gilbert Castellanos, our own local icon. If you're anything like that, then this concert is made for you. Castellanos will perform at the Rady Shell with his band to celebrate Davis' "Kind of Blue," which was released 65 years ago to the date of this concert. 7:30 p.m., Aug. 17. $18-$70. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the organizers: Join Gilbert Castellanos and friends as they celebrate Miles Davis and his all-star band at The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park. One of the greatest albums of all time and the best-selling jazz album ever, Miles Davis' masterpiece "Kind of Blue" is as relevant and revered today as when it was recorded in 1959. Talented student musicians of the Young Lions Jazz Conservatory perform a pre-concert set.

Governments and industries are pouring billions of dollars into so-called "regenerative agriculture." But while scientists say some of these farming practices do reduce planet heating pollution, for others the science is less clear.

In loving remembrance of our fictional friend Grace, we invite you to join us for a heartfelt and intimate MOCK home funeral. This will be an engaging and interactive event where everyone can participate and immerse themselves in the experience of ancestral death-care practices, enjoy a grief-focused sound bath and meditation, and explore creative grief releasing activities. We know, this isn't your typical Saturday night activity! Crafting a meaningful end-of-life experience is something that family and friends can participate in, and having a home funeral is one way to honor a life well lived. Community death care should be accessible to all, it's the way we used to care for our dead before the modern funeral industry became the standard. This interactive event is meant to showcase an end of life experience that reflects an authentically lived life. What will you be experiencing at this evening of contemplating death and grief? 7:00 - 7:45 p.m. You'll be invited into the home funeral of Grace where you can immerse yourself in a realistic representation of a funeral held at home, complete with a shrouded body and creative grief activities to help process emotions. Grief activities include meditation with a sound bath, crafting a burial mala necklace and sharing a memory on a remembrance tree. Participate as much or as little as you'd like. 7:45 - 8:15 p.m. We'll transition into a Q&A session where you can ask anything and everything about home funerals with our panel of Death Doulas and a Funeral Director. 8:15 - 9:00 p.m. Our Death Doulas will demonstrate basic body care, end-of-life rituals and the sacred practice of shrouding. Learn more about Grace and this extraordinary event: The Death Network Home Funeral Event FAQ's: - Are kids welcome? Absolutely! One of the best things about holding a home funeral is kids can participate and gain an understanding of death and grief. - Are home funerals legal in California?

Yes, but our corpse will only be acting dead. For more information visit: thedeathnetwork.com
