DALLAS — The Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance annual survey found that the homeless population is growing in Dallas County. The homeless count is not a census but a point-in-time survey measuring the number of all people who are in homeless shelters, under bridges, or otherwise without housing on a single night, which this year was January 22. Both short-term and chronically homeless populations have increased. Dallas' new 24-hour center for the intake and referral of homeless people to social services, The Bridge, is scheduled to open later this month.

Akira Sato Jazz trumpeter Akira Sato, by way of Tokyo, Japan and Vancouver, Canada, is an SMU faculty member and director of The Meadow Jazz Orchestra at SMU. He is also an adjunct faculty member at UNT where he teaches jazz arranging. Sato is also heading into the studio soon with other area musicians and playing at the Scat Jazz Lounge tonight. With all that he's up to, the least you could do is order a Scotch on the rocks and chill to some tunes. (Photo by flickr user arteunporro. More info
