Jazz milestones at 50
It's been 50 years since the release of the important jazz albums Time Out by the Dave Brubeck Quartet, Miles Davis' Sketches of Spain and Charles Mingus' Mingus Ah Um. Expanded versions of the albums have been released in honor of the milestone. By Mike Cote

Butler's choice
Bestselling author Andrew Bacevich visits the Tattered Cover LoDo; Neko Case and Calexico's Joey and John play the Chautauqua Auditorium and Ogden Theatre; and the Loveland Museum and Gallery opens an impressive pop art show, "Wayne Thiebaud: 70 years of painting." By Mary Butler

From the Vine cellar

The cult of cabernet

Entirely homegrown: An attempt at backyard subsistence
Taking the "local" food concept to the extreme, ColoradoBiz Managing Editor Mike Taylor is attempting to live on only what he can grow in his Denver backyard, for one month - August. Follow along, starting May 27, as the crops grow up (he hopes) and the days till Aug. 1 count down. Along the way, he'll introduce a number of Colorado businesses and entrepreneurs, starting next week with Pat Karnes of Colorado Pure Distilling, a custom-label vodka producer, who'll answer questions on the feasibility of homemade potato vodka.
