Bob Koester in the stacks at the Jazz Record Mart in 2009 Michael Jackson
Bob Koester, who died May 12 at age 88, knew what he liked and what you should like too. For nearly 70 years, he owned Chicago s Jazz Record Mart (and the Delmark label), and it was completely in character for him to snatch an album from the hands of an earnest young shopper.
In 1968, that shopper was me I d picked up a copy of Muhal Richard Abrams s debut LP,
Levels and Degrees of Light, whose surreal cover painting and saturated colors promised something exotic and strange made right here. I was more than eager to hear it, but Koester still black-haired, wearing glasses, not graceful, not yet 40 had other ideas. You can t understand
Candidates seeking or considering the appointment to replace state Sen. Heather Steans, left to right: Mike Simmons, state Rep. Kelly Cassidy and Justin Koziatek.
State Rep. Kelly Cassidy and two others interested in the appointment to outgoing state Sen. Heather Steans’ legislative seat laid out their resumes and fielded questions from constituents Tuesday evening at a virtual meeting hosted by a group that has raised concerns that the selection process shuts out voters.
Mike Simmons, a lifelong resident of the district, and Cassidy explained their qualifications for the state’s upper legislative chamber during the Zoom meeting hosted by a local chapter of Indivisible.
The hand wringing over the replacement process is so overblown. It’s not clear to me how a special election with little turnout is preferable. Plus people pretend Committeemen aren’t also elected themselves (in elections that might very well have higher turnout than specials). People are more than welcome to run for committeeman or vote out appointed incumbents. Plenty of great legislators were first appointed through this process. Once again a “process” complaint rather than substantive. I suppose it would be better to change the process so people shut up about it. But then when those specials are dominated by connected people who can put an organization together quickly, where will the complaining turn?
