For Trinidadian trumpeter and percussionist Etienne Charles, rhythm doesn’t just organize a tune. It reveals historical origins and tracks sojourns both forced and voluntary.Returning to the Tenderloin jazz spot Black Cat with his pan-Caribbean band Creole Soul for a three-night run May 18-20 (followed by a May 21 afternoon concert at Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society in Half Moon Bay), Charles continues to explore music arising from four centuries of African displacements and subsequent migrations.The concerts mark the 10th anniversary of his landmark album “Creole Soul,” which introduced a body of music with a radically encompassing Caribbean rhythmic palette. He’s been expanding the conceptual framework ever since, and the Bay Area run is designed “to show the evolution since ‘Creole Soul’ came out,” he said.“There’s been a significant tilt to Caribbean dance music, rocksteady and reggae, since we’re digging around in the diaspora and looking at the 75th anniversary of Wi...

The Patent and Trademark Office approved the Taco John’s “Taco Tuesday” trademark in 1989.“Taco Bell believes ‘Taco Tuesday’ is critical to everyone’s Tuesday. To deprive anyone of saying ‘Taco Tuesday’ — be it Taco Bell or anyone who provides tacos to the world — is like depriving the world of sunshine itself,” the Taco Bell filing reads.A key question is whether “Taco Tuesday” over the years has succumbed to “genericide,”...
