From the musical mastermind that brought you ProgJect - The Ultimate Prog Rock Experience, Jonathan Mover now delivers the same for jazz-rock: PffT - A Modern Take on Classic Fusion. Similar to ProgJect, Mover has assembled a variety of medleys, as a tribute and homage to the masters of fusion, a.k.a., Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham, Allan Holdsworth, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Tony Williams, Weather Report, and Brand X, to begin with. Also similar to ProgJect, this music is not easy to play, nor is it for the faint of heart. It was going to take a select few from an even smaller pool to choose from to make this other “dream gig” come true. Mike Keneally was Mover’s first thought, “On any instrument he wants to play,” and happily welcomed Mike’s immediate reply, “Absolutely! Can I play keyboards?” Done. It was Keneally who recommended Bryan Beller on bass, someone Mover was very familiar with but had not had the opportunity to play with, until now. The guitar spot was the last to fill. There were the obvious fusion monsters out there, but one ‘new name’, recommended by many, kept coming up, “Andrew Synowiec,” so Mover started making calls. The initial response from several was, “This sounds amazing, please send me some medleys to check out.” The next response was, “This stuff is amazing, but would take too many brain cells,” except for one... Andrew Synowiec, “I’m down.” And thus, PffT was formed. Playing Lots of Notes from Jeff Beck, Billy Cobham, Allan Holdsworth, Tony Williams, Weather Report, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Brand X, and more. Before PffT takes the stage, acclaimed guitarist and composer Travis Larson will open the evening with a special performance, showcasing the virtuosity and innovation that have made him a favorite among progressive and fusion music fans.

Too many animals go missing around the Fourth of July. Keep pets indoors and comfortable, as loud fireworks can cause them to panic and jump or even break through fences and escape. Make sure your pet is properly identified with license and identification tags or on tape on the collar and also microchipped. If your pet escapes, check with Chula Vista Animal Services and other local shelters, and search online pet websites such as 24Petconnect and Pawboost. Neighborhood apps such as Ring and Nextdoor are also useful for posting lost or found pets. The private use of fireworks in San Diego County is against the law. To report the unauthorized use of fireworks, call the Chula Vista Police Department non-emergency line at (619) 691-5151. All City offices including libraries and recreation centers will be closed on Friday, July 3. In addition, trash pick-up in the City of Chula Vista will not be delayed.
