After news about "ominous omicron," secular Solstice displays and a state/church victory, we celebrate the real reason for the season — the Winter Solstice — by hearing some fun irreverent Christmas songs by Tom Lehrer, Roy Zimmerman, Addison Frei, Tahira Clayton, Ken Lonnquist, and Susan Hofer, ending with Tim Minchin's "White Wine in the Sun."
Addison Frei is a jazz pianist, composer and producer that has garnered acclaim far beyond his years. He co-leads AMP Trio, is a Yamaha artist and recently completed his artist diploma at the Juilliard School. Denis asks Addison many questions about jazz, tries to draw connections to other disciplines and gets insight into a musical brain and soul that he greatly admires.Addison Frei:Website: addisonfrei.comInstagram: @addisonfreiAMP Trio's newest album: amptrio.bandcamp.com/album/go-naivehttps://amptrio.bandcamp.com/album/go-naivePhoto: Rob DavidsonDenis:Website: denislambertonline.comInstagram: @denis_e_lambertFollow the Podcast:Website: thevoraciousstudent.comInstagram: @thevoraciousstudentFacebook: /thevoraciousstudentEmail: thevoraciousstudent@gmail.com
This week we present a musical medley of irreverent and celebratory secular holiday songs by Tom Lehrer, Tim Minchin, Roy Zimmerman, Dan Barker, Tahira Clayton, Addison Frei, Brent Michael Davids, Steven Phelps, Ken Lonnquist, and the London Humanist Choir; and we hear agnostic orator Robert Ingersoll's 1897 recitation of "What I Want For Christmas."
Addison Frei: “Night Funeral in Harlem” ISRC: QZ-GA9-20-00001 Written, performed and produced by Addison Frei Tahira Clayton, vocals Matt Young, drums Mastered by Matt Young at Totem Audio www.addisonfrei.com www.addisonfrei.bandcamp.com www.instagram.com/addisonfrei www.facebook.com/addisonfreimusic Ever since Addison Frei (“Fry”) began playing piano in local restaurants around Lawrence, Kansas at the age of ten, he has captivated audiences and garnered acclaim far beyond his years. Frei’s latest album No Defense (TCB Records) was celebrated with solo performances at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Montreux Jazz Festival, Alhambra (Geneva), and Lucerne Piano Festival. His lyrical pianism has made him a favorite accompanist for many vocalists including Leslie Odom Jr., Renée Elise Goldsberry, Janis Siegel and Carol Fredette. Frei’s artistry as a composer and producer is showcased with genre-bending singles “Cornerstone”, “Postcard” and his EP Future Speak featuring Michael Mayo and Tahira Clayton. Frei also produced Clayton’s 2019 release Wait Till Now. Frei’s eclectic musicianship remains on display in the New York scene—he’s equally at home leading jazz groups at Dizzy’s Club and the Kitano or playing synthesizers with his band at National Sawdust and Rockwood Music Hall. A proud Yamaha Artist, Frei’s previous records include Transit (2016) and Intentions (2014). He also co-leads AMP Trio, contributing compositions to each of their five studio albums. Alongside Tahira Clayton, AMP Trio was selected as winner of the 2017 DC Jazz Prix, and has toured extensively throughout Asia and North America at jazz festivals, clubs and universities.
My guest today is Tim Young. Tim is a singer/songwriter, actor, musical director and dancer. I met Tim last month at Tahira Clayton and Addison Frei’s wedding (both former guests on my podcast - episode #58 and #43) and was immediately drawn to his enthusiasm, humor and authenticity. Tim grew up in Long Island, NY, immersed in a 2,500-member evangelical, fundamentalist Christian church, whose beliefs were reinforced at home and in his Christian school. Tim was indoctrinated to see the world in a dichotomous mindset: right or wrong, good or evil, believers or non-believers. As painful a process as it has been, Tim shares his journey of what it took for him to release the either/or thinking and open his mind and heart to endless possibilities. Tim’s early life was so influenced by people he wanted to impress and seek approval from; a dogma that manipulated him to fall in line, deny himself and create illusions of exclusion. Tim is grateful to now trust his inner wisdom and create a spirituality grounded in wonder, beauty, presence and compassion, a spirituality where he is coming home to the fullness of who he is. Check out the show notes to find links to Tim’s website and social media contacts, as well as the YouTube animation Tim referenced, “The Egg”. Please join me on Friday December 20, 2019 to watch Tim and Tahira perform in the cabaret called “Mary” at Club Cumming in NYC’s East Village. Enjoy the podcast!

We celebrate the 4th of July by honoring the radical Declaration, our secular Constitution, the freethinking founders such as Thomas Paine, and the feminist Frances Wright. We hear the Stephen Foster (born July 4, 1826) song "Some Folks Do." Then we speak with the award-winning jazz pianist Addison Frei about his life as a freethinking composer and performer, and his albums (such as Future Speak) that not only entertain but advocate for reason, science, and equality.
My guest today is Tahira Clayton. Tahira is a soulful singer, songwriter, music teacher and conductor. Tahira’s name translates as purity of light and that she is! I see, hear and feel light when I am in Tahira’s presence - she is tuned in, gracious, open and compassionate - radiating light both on and off stage! Growing up in Texas, Tahira explained that her family was one of 3 black families that lived in an otherwise white neighborhood. Tahira didn’t want to stick out, she didn’t want anything that was going to make her seem more different than she already was. She acknowledges the irony that she figured out who she was while denying the biggest part of her. Tahira remembers when that self consciousness of her race dissipated and she finally felt proud to be black, she began to confidently express herself as a strong black woman. We recorded this conversation with Tahira in the fall of 2018, intentionally waiting to release this podcast so we could promote her album release show. However, in addition to waiting for the album release date, her beloved partner, Addison Frei (featured in Episode #43) pulled off a spectacular, romantic surprise marriage proposal (with her whole family sworn to secrecy) over Thanksgiving 2018. Blessings Tahira and Addison!! In early December, Tahira came as my guest to see The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater perform at City Center (NYC), her first time seeing the company! We were both blown away, not only by the company’s signature dance “Revelations", but by the world premiere of Rennie Harris’ "Lazarus I and II", this piece is a MUST SEE!! Please join me on Thursday February 28th, 2019 at 8pm to celebrate Tahira’s album release show at Nublu, 151 Ave C, New York City. Check out the links below for the latest events in Tahira’s life, as well as her website where you can hear her music and find out about all her exciting projects. For our UK listeners, Tahira will be traveling to London on March 9th, 2019 to be part of a panel on systemic exclusion of women in jazz at the International Women in Music Leadership Conference. Enjoy the podcast!

My guest today is Addison Frei, a darn good ping pong player and tennis player... oh and yes a gifted pianist, composer, and music producer. Enrolled in Julliard’s Post Graduate Ensemble, Addison has traveled internationally as a Jazz Ambassador for Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong, Dave Brubeck, and Benny Goodman. Addison’s family members are scientists and mathematicians, which inspires him to celebrate intellectual progress in society. What Addison relishes about his free-lance musician path is that there is nothing mundane about it. He is continually learning all kinds of music for different situations every day, every week, every month! Addison appreciates the inter-generational, international, inter-genre aspects of being a musician. He honors musicians who act as elders and mentors, who keep oral tradition alive and thriving - it’s a legacy he’s proud to participate in. Addison reflects on the artist role in society, daring to be at the forefront of social justice causes - noting jazz in the 50s, protest songs of the 60s. I am impressed with Addison’s individual and collective investment in being a conscientious musician who cares deeply about current events. Addison's band will be playing at National Sawdust in Brooklyn on November 10th at 9pm. Come here this gifted musician and inspiring human in his element! Enjoy the podcast!

After hearing televangelist Pat Robertson accuse the Freedom From Religion Foundation of being led by “the Devil,” we hear comedian Robin Williams lampoon the story of Mary and Joseph. We listen to jazz pianist/composer (and FFRF member) Addison Frei’s freethinking song “Clinging,” sung by Tahira Clayton. Then we interview Jim Helton, president of Tri-State Freethinkers, about the successful protest he organized against young-earth creationist Ken Ham’s publicly subsidized “Ark Encounter” in Kentucky, a monument to genocide and ignorance.
