Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming, a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. I'm Ben Hilzinger, and this is another installment of Big Fat Five—where I ask my favorite drummers (and, honestly, just favorite people) to break down the five records that shaped how they approach the instrument. Today's guest is Cain Daniel. You might've caught him on a recent episode of The Drum Panel, but this time he's here for the Big Fat Five treatment. I first saw Cain play with Jesus Molina, and his creativity, clarity, and confidence behind the kit instantly stood out in the sea of drum videos I scroll through every day. He's an LA-based drummer, a Berklee College of Music grad, and in recent years he's played with Chappell Roan, Derek Hough, Engelbert Humperdinck, and plenty more. So let's get into the five records that helped shape Cain Daniel into the drummer he is today. And while this isn't a Drum Panel episode, we still take a few fun side quests along the way.

In this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the incredible Maeve Gilchrist, a Scottish harpist, composer, and innovator whose work bridges folk traditions and contemporary sounds. Born and raised in Edinburgh, Maeve was immersed in Celtic music from a young age and later studied at Berklee College of Music, where she expanded her approach to the harp through jazz, improvisation, and world music influences.Maeve and I talk about her journey as an artist—from her early exposure to traditional Scottish and Irish music to her boundary-pushing projects in the worlds of contemporary classical, jazz, and film scoring. She shares how motherhood has deepened her relationship to her craft, and how she continues to evolve her voice while remaining rooted in tradition.We explore her role as Artistic Director of the Rockport Celtic Festival, and dig into her album The Harp Weaver, a deeply personal work inspired by poetry and memory. Maeve reflects on the creative process, the power of collaboration, and the delicate balance between honoring tradition and forging new musical paths.This is a rich and thoughtful conversation with one of today's most original voices on the harp.To learn more about Maeve, please visit her website. Thank you for listening! If you have any questions, feedback, or ideas for the show, please contact me at brad@thebandwichtapes.com.The theme song, Playcation, was written by Mark Mundy.

Nos premiers invités #SessionLive sont Roseaux avec Ben l'Oncle Soul. Roseaux est un trio parisien composé Emile Omar, Alex Finkin et Clément Petit. Les trois mousquetaires du son cultivent leur savoir-faire désormais salué par la critique et un auditoire toujours plus nombreux depuis leur premier projet en 2012. Il leur a fallu du temps, pour prendre du recul et de la hauteur afin de nous offrir un retour tant réjouissant que retentissant. Roseaux prend racine au bord des rives de la soul, du folk, du jazz, et de la chanson de toutes les époques, une cascade de sonorités intarissables, où les trois compositeurs puisent leur inspiration et fusionnent leurs expériences. Les feuilles de Roseaux s'élancent au souffle de merveilleuses voix, choisies avec précision par les trois compères, comme celle, du chanteur américain Aloe Blacc, présent depuis le début de l'aventure, enchanteur incontournable des trois épisodes. Pensé comme une escapade onirique gorgée d'émotions, en marge de la production massive, instantanée et souvent désincarnée, Roseaux est un groupe totalement artisanal, sorte d'ovni dans le paysage musical hexagonal, qui opère à l'instinct et surtout à l'envie. Ainsi, Roseaux est devenu expert pour réunir, le temps d'un disque, les artistes qui forment spécifiquement l'ADN de leur hôte : des voix envoûtantes, une trame au piano et au violoncelle, mais aussi des rencontres et des retrouvailles, dans un univers poétique et volontairement nébuleux. Ce troisième album est l'œuvre de 3 passionnés de musique, capables d'intervertir leurs rôles : écriture, arrangements, production, d'où émergent cette fois, onze titres au mélodies ciselées dont trois instrumentaux colorés et insolites. Un périple entre mélancolie et euphorie, qui a conduit Roseaux aux confins de la planète, des Caraïbes à l'Europe en pasant par l'Afrique pour dénicher d'autres vibrations et des interprètes singuliers : la captivante chanteuse grenado-britannique Ala.ni, le petit prince afropop anglais originaire du Ghana, Ghetto Boy, et la troublante suédoise Isabel Sörling, signent ici une première collaboration flamboyante avec le groupe. Pendant que la talentueuse canado-haïtienne Mélissa Laveaux, l'hypnotique chanteur scandinave Olle Nyman, la pétillante franco-canadienne Anna Majidson et notre remarquable Ben national, déjà présents sur le deuxième volet, parviennent encore à créer la surprise en dévoilant de nouveaux aspects de leur tessiture. Les voix de Roseaux sont décidément impénétrables et sa magie se renouvelle aujourd'hui en faisant dialoguer la force de tous ces éléments scintillants, à découvrir dans un écrin de douceur et de volupté. La nature regorge de roseaux, celui-ci est unique.   Titres interprétés au grand studio - With Us Feat. Ben l'Oncle Soul Live RFI - Loving You Is All I Want To Do Feat.

Originally born in South Dakota, David Dyson and his family relocated to Washington D.C. when he was just 2 years old. While attending public school in D.C. he began playing the baritone and was acknowledged for his budding talent. However at the age of 12, after hearing LArry graham play bass, the urge was (understandably) too strong and the baritone was replaced with a beginner's bass guitar that his parents bought for him.That gift set off a brilliant music career with David rapidly excelling at his new instrument and being named "band member" of the year in his high school band. After leaving high school, David attended Berklee College of Music where he was exposed to a wide array of music and made many friendships that have lasted through to this day.David has performed with a myriad of artists across multiple genres including Pieces of a Dream, Gerald Albright, Meshell Ndegeocello, New Kids on the Block, Lonnie Liston Smith, Steve Coleman and the Five Elements, George Duke, Lalah Hathaway, Jonathan Butler and many others.David is also a solo artist and has released 3 albums that are a must listen for any bass player. The releases are entitled "Soulmates", "The Dawning" and "Unleashed". His unique "mute picking" style gives him a distinct sound that makes his playing instantly recognizable, and damn is it funky too!Kick back and relax while we talk about everything from Berklee to NKOTB to dealing with setbacks, signature gear and more.

Rosen has been hailed by The New York Times as “insanely ambitious,” “a sort of bridge between genres and generations, embracing Broadway standards, pop songs and the music of Tetris.” Broadway World hailed his orchestrations for “Some Like it Hot” — co-written with Bryan Carter — as “explosive… another first-rate team.” Opined JazzTimes of the 8-Bit Big Band: “[These are] innovative spins on a hidden musical canon that's arguably just booting up.” In 2021, Grammy.com proclaimed him to be one of “6 Big Band Composers Pushing The Format Forward.” Rosen was born in 1990 in Los Angeles, to a bassoonist and music teacher mother and pianist, banjoist, and silent movie theater organist father. When Rosen was three, his father ascertained that he had perfect pitch, when he successfully distinguished piano keys by color without seeing them. “That's a black key, that's a white key,” Rosen remembers intuiting. Rosen played flute in an elementary school orchestra, but that didn't really take. “I played cello for a year. That didn't really take,” Rosen says. But as his single digits flowed into his doubles, he accordingly took guitar lessons, and proceeded to perform in bands. “That was my first exposure to what it means to collaborate with your musical peers,” Rosen says, “as opposed to receiving rote classical music from a teacher.” Large ensemble jazz grew to captivate him most; his father frequently took him to see big bands and jazz orchestras, and his mother brought him to her orchestra rehearsals and chamber music performances. Rosen became fascinated by the sheer numbers of the musicians, the volume, and the force of the moving air. Saxophones, flutes, trumpets, banjos, guitars, and mandolins were around the house. “That influenced my love of arranging and discovering new instruments,” Rosen says — and he learned one after the other. Despite his parents' love of musicals, Rosen initially gravitated far more to classic rock and jazz. Yet in his sophomore year of high school, he nabbed a role in the coming-of-age Broadway musical “13” — which not only featured an entire cast of teenagers, but an all-teen orchestra. This led him to the comedic historical rock musical “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson” — conversely, a full-on professional production with adults. Both shows transferred to Broadway one year apart, before Rosen was old enough to drink. Rosen studied at Berklee College of Music for a few semesters; around 2010, he decided to focus on Broadway for good. At first, he was a multi-instrumentalist in a variety of pits, and it became clear he was capable of much more. “I started being like, ‘I'll do anything. I can transcribe your piano parts. I'll write sheet music. I'll write horn parts for you,'” Rosen recalls. “Just to get my name out there as somebody who could be part of music teams.” In 2012, he started his first New York large ensemble, dubbed Charlie Rosen's Broadway Big Band. He went on to work on a plethora of Broadway shows, as an orchestrator, music director, music supervisor, and more — from “Moulin Rouge” to “Be Home Chill” to “Some Like it Hot.” Already, Rosen was reimagining what a big band could do. “I would take songs from Broadway shows, like I do with the 8-Bit Big Band, and totally flip them on their head — rearrange them,” he says, “and I would ask singers from the Broadway community to front it.” He began a long-running residency at Midtown Manhattan's 54 Below, and “invited as many music directors, supervisors and composers — anybody I could possibly think of — to come to this thing.” The 54 Below residency demonstrated Rosen's swelling chops for old-school, Broadway-style arranging. Fast forward through years of shows and connections, and in 2018, Rosen launched the 8-Bit Big Band, and the lifelong gamer picked up the torch of the “Great Video Game Songbook.” To date, they have released four albums: 2018's “Press Start!,” 2019's “Choose Your Character,” 2021's “Backwards Compatible,” and 2023's “Game Changer.” In 2021, Rosen won a Grammy for Best Arrangement, Instrumental or A Capella. He won one Tony in 2020, for his work on “Moulin Rouge!, and another in 2023, for “Some Like It Hot.” Another Grammy followed in 2023, for his contributions to the latter production's cast recording. He was also nominated for both a Tony and Grammy award for his work on the groundbreaking 2022 Broadway show “A Strange Loop.”Other productions Rosen has worked on as a musician, composer, music supervisor, and/or orchestrator include “One Man, Two Guvnors”; “Cyrano de Bergerac”; “Honeymoon in Vegas”; “American Psycho”; “Prince of Broadway”; “Be More Chill”; “Moulin Rouge! The Musical”; and “A Strange Loop”. He was the musical director for the 2016 TV series “Maya & Marty,” and 2020's “Arthur Miller Foundation Honors,” and arranged, orchestrated, conducted, and/or composed for 2017's “The President Snow,” the 2021 documentary “Listening to Kenny G,” and that year's Billy Crystal comedy-drama “Here Today,” as well as the music producer for the 2023 film “Wonka.” What binds it all together is Rosen's unshakeable faith in the unrealized potential of a piece of music, especially as it relates to its function for dramatic storytelling. How the music functions to deliver a story, or deliver a feeling — “whether someones up there singing or not,” Rosen says. “Or whether it's creating an arrangement to support a singer singing in a specific way, or an instrumentalist to solo in a way they do best. “Whether it's your movie, song, orchestra, TV show, or Broadway show,” Rosen concludes, “it's all essentially the same instinct, but through instruments.” Marc Shaiman, a Tony-winning theater and Oscar-nominated film composer, described Mr. Rosen as a big talent, but without the eccentricities that sometimes come along for the ride. ‘It's the kind of talent where I almost want to hate him,' Mr. Shaiman said. ‘But I can't.' You don't get to be Charlie without being insanely ambitious, but I think it's really an ambition to have as much music in his life and in his head and in his mouth as he possibly can. He just loves making music.”

Join bassist, composer, and arranger Saúl Sierra and his quintet at the 35th San Jose Jazz Summer Fest on Sunday, August 10, at 1 PM at the Montgomery Theater in Downtown San Jose for a performance that combines Saúl's roots in Mexico City, the rhythms of Latin America, and the soul of jazz.In this conversation, Saúl Sierra discusses his upbringing, the power of rhythm to communicate across borders, and how improvisation keeps his music fresh, rooted in tradition, and free. With material already brewing for two more albums, Saúl remains committed to honoring tradition while expanding its possibilities through music.Born and raised in Mexico City, Saúl's early musical education wasn't found in conservatories—it was shaped by the city. He first picked up the upright bass before switching to electric to play rock en Español and rock covers with local bands. His interests evolved toward Latin music, which was hugely popular in Mexico City, encompassing Cuban, Caribbean, and folkloric styles that would later become an integral part of his artistic voice. Saúl returned to the acoustic upright bass while studying at Berklee College of Music in Boston.Since moving to the Bay Area after graduating in 1999, Saúl has been ingrained in the Latin jazz scene. A member and co-founder of bands like Vission Latina and El Tren Trio, his collaborators include Carlos Caro (percussion), Julio Perez (percussion), and Marco Díaz (piano/trumpet) —musicians who also perform on his most recent album, Caminos. With experience teaching Latin Jazz and music, Saúl also cites teaching as a source of creative inspiration, deepening his interest in cross-cultural storytelling through sound. His new album, Caminos, supported by a 2022 InterMusic SF musical grant, showcases diverse Pan-American rhythms and blends jazz with folkloric traditions across the Americas.Creating Caminos was a deeply collaborative process. Saúl laid down bass tracks, then worked with his ensemble, encouraging both structure and spontaneity. While guiding collaborators on his vision of the compositions, Saúl also allowed freedom for personal expression. Ultimately, he believed gathering contributions from diverse musicians would strengthen the tone, rhythm, and authenticity of the project. Whether recording a Cuban changüí with seamless 4/4 to 5/4 transitions or grappling with the complex rhythmic structure of Mexican Son Jarocho, each track reflects a lifetime of listening, learning, and letting go.Caminos draws influence from rhythms like Venezuelan merengue in ⅝, Joropo, and Peruvian festejo and landó, comparing them to Mexican traditions in both timing and harmonic tension. While he continues to rehearse and adapt Caminos for live quintet performances based on the energy of the performance, Saúl's musical vision extends far beyond this album, incorporating pieces from Caminos into different sets. As a bassist, he believes it is his role to provide the nuanced foundation that allows these diverse styles to shine.Follow Saúl's journey on Instagram @saulsierramusic and experience his vibrant sound at the 35th San Jose Jazz Summer Fest @sanjosejazz on August 10, at summerfest.sanjosejazz.org.Content Black Backdrop PerformanceBassist Saúl Sierra joins us in the Content Black Backdrop Studio to perform a few samples from his most recent album, Caminos.

**Thank you to this episode's guest, Benny of Muted Circus, for permission to use a clip of his song ("Wait for What") in this podcast episode. ** In the latest episode of the Ruthless Compassion podcast I speak with Benny, who makes music under the name Muted Circus.  Benny is a trained musician (violin, viola, electric bass, guitar, etc.) and a graduate of the Berklee College of Music. After briefly touring with a Sony artist and seeing things from the inside he got disillusioned with music and set it aside completely to do other things. But when his artist father was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, music rushed back in. What started as one song led to two, which led to three, and on and on, which ended up becoming a 10 EP x 50 song cycle. Each song explores death, mourning, loss, and aging in its own way. Half instrumental, half vocal. Benny is gearing up to release the 10th and final EP of the Muted Circus project and is ready to share his story. You can check out his music on Spotify, YouTube, and Instagram. Listen to his song, "Wait for What" (discussed in this podcast).

Jxmie Blake is a genre-blending artist, producer, and educator whose work fuses jazz, soul, hip hop, pop, and electronic music into a bold and expressive signature sound. Known for his innovative approach to Ableton Push as a chromatic instrument, Jxmie is a multi-talented creator with a deep background in audio engineering, songwriting, and sound design. With degrees from Berklee College of Music and a client list including Ableton, Red Bull, and Ludacris, he's quickly becoming a leading voice in modern music education and performance. In this conversation, Jxmie and I dive into the creative mindset—how breaking the rules, following sparks of inspiration, and simplifying your workflow can lead to unexpected breakthroughs. We explore the power of limitations, the importance of finishing ideas (even imperfect ones), and how developing a strong relationship with your tools—like Push—can unlock musical freedom. It's an honest look at the balance between discipline and play, structure and spontaneity, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is stop overthinking and just make something. Listen on Apple, Spotify, YouTube Takeaways: Push as a Chromatic Instrument – Jxmie breaks down how Push can function like a guitar fretboard, opening up intuitive, expressive playing that bridges the gap between traditional instruments and digital music-making. Creative Freedom Through Limitations – Embracing limited gear or working with only stock tools can actually foster more creativity and deeper exploration. Breaking the Rules Is the Point – Jxmie encourages musicians to intentionally break conventions—whether it's stacking effects, pushing gear beyond intended use, or warping samples into unrecognizable textures. Music as Self-Expression – The ultimate goal isn't perfection, but expressing what's inside you—your mood, your perspective, your story. Reckless Experimentation Leads to Inspiration – Playing without a specific goal, just to see what happens, often leads to surprising and exciting results. Gear Doesn't Make the Artist – Even basic tools like GarageBand or stock Ableton devices can be powerful when fully understood and creatively applied. Teaching as Empowerment – Through his work at 1500 Sound Academy and his online courses, Jxmie focuses on empowering students to unlock their own creative voices, regardless of background or skill level. Creative Blocks Are Often Internal – As we gain technical skills, creative challenges become more mental and emotional—expectations, self-judgment, and overthinking can block our flow. Start with Play, Not Pressure – Some of the best creative moments happen when you approach music playfully, without the weight of needing to make something great. The Process Is the Product – Whether it's creating sounds, building devices, or finishing songs, the act of exploring, tweaking, and iterating is as valuable as the final result.

If you've ever felt like joy is just out of reach, this episode will challenge everything you thought you knew—revealing how meaningful effort, not ease, might be the key to lasting fulfillment.In today's episode, I'm joined by Janet Ettele, a novelist, meditation practitioner, and devoted student of Buddhist philosophy whose mission is to bring timeless spiritual teachings to life through accessible, story-driven fiction. She is the author of a four-book series inspired by the six perfections of Buddhism, with her latest release, How Joyous Effort Works: The Energy to Benefit Others, featuring a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Janet's writing blends insight and emotional depth, drawing from her background as a trained musician and Berklee College of Music graduate to create prose that is both lyrical and grounded. Her journey into Buddhism began at a Tibetan monastery just five miles from her home in Connecticut, where she continues to live, write, and teach with quiet dedication.Throughout this episode, Janet brings these influences to life, offering a grounded yet inspiring perspective on joy, effort, and spiritual growth. She shares how the teachings of Shantideva and her connection with Tibetan monks shaped both her personal evolution and the character arc of Troy, the protagonist of her series. Their parallel journeys reveal how challenges can become turning points when met with mindfulness and compassion. Janet's reflections on meditation, silence, and intentional action illustrate how spiritual practice translates into everyday life. With warmth and clarity, she reminds us that lasting joy doesn't come from striving for perfection, but from showing up—consistently, consciously, and with an open heart.Tune in to episode 210 of Joy Found Here as Janet Ettele shares how Buddhist wisdom, storytelling, and intentional effort can lead to inner peace and purposeful living.

JJ's "Wasted Love" has consistently been near the top of the Eurovision 2025 betting odds since its reveal in Austria. But will this emotional ballad get lost in a sea of jury favourites?
