Through every sentence and paragraph that makes up Jamess epistle, it oozes with wisdom as to how the Christian can live out his/her faith. The epistle helps us understand what faith looks like while suffering, how it responds to both poverty and wealth, how faith in Jesus impacts our speech, and how our faith as Christians helps us navigate life in our upside-down world. The group of Christians James addressed his letter to were Jewish Christians who understood what it meant to be a marginalized people, even before faith in Jesus; but after belief in Jesus as the promised Messiah, they were also ostracized by members of their community, and for some, their own family members. So, who was James? Let me begin by stating the two things that we know about the person who wrote this epistle: 1) James was the half-brother of Jesus, and 2) he did not believe in Jesus until he witnessed His resurrection. Here is why I am mostly certain that James, the half-brother of Jesus (and not the apostle James) wrote this epistle: The apostle James died by execution under Herod before this epistle was written (Acts 12:1-2), and the James mentioned in Galatians 2 and Acts 15 is the brother of Jesus who became a predominant leader in the Jerusalem church. We are told in the gospels that Jesus had biological brothers who were born to Joseph and Mary after Jesus birth who did not fully believe in Jesus even though they grew up with Jesus (see Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3; John 7:3-5). Jesus appeared to his brother, James, and then to the rest of His brothers, after his resurrection (see 1 Cor. 15:6-7). However, when James did finally believe in Jesus, he was all-in on who his older brother claimed to be, and his belief was backed up by his life, actions, and convictions. Not only was James all-in when it came to Jesus, but how he introduced himself in his epistle tells us a lot about who he was as a man of God: James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad... (v. 1). James does not introduce himself as the half-brother of Jesus, but as a bond-servant of God. The Greek word for bond-servant is doulos, and it literally means slave. In other words, James authority as a leader does not come from his biological relationship to Jesus, but his submission to the Lordship of Christ, not as his older brother, but as the King of kings and Lord of lords. The other thing to note here is that James places God and the Lord Jesus side-by-side, implying that Jesus words before James believed are the truth that he has since bowed his knee too (see John 10:30). I believe that James finally believed that his brother was the Messiah when Jesus appeared to him after He rose from the dead (1 Cor. 15:6-7), which is a good reminder right from the very beginning of James, that no one who has truly encountered the resurrected Christ can remain unchanged by an encounter with the living Christ. James went from a doubter who grew up with Jesus to a believer who would identify himself as a slave to God, and held Jesus as the Lord over his life. The dispersed Christians James addressed his letter to most likely include hundreds of Christians who fled Jerusalem as a result of the stoning of Stephen and the great persecution Saul (before his conversion and was renamed Paul) and others brought upon the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem. I think James originally addressed his letter to those we read about in Acts 8:1-3, Now Saul approved of putting Stephen to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles. Some devout men buried Stephen, and mourned loudly for him. But Saul began ravaging the church, entering house after house; and he would drag away men and women and put them in prison. It was to these Christians (and others), and now to us, that James letter addresses. The two great themes that are repeated through this epistle are faith (a word used at least 14 times) and obedience to God as the fruit of genuine faith (there over 50 imperatives given throughout James regarding this). This is the reason for the title of my sermon series: Faith and Works. There were other titles I thought of while preparing for this sermon series that came to mind, such as: Faith-Acts, Faith-Works, but settled for Faith and Works. If you are looking for a verse that encapsulates the theme of James, I submit to you James 2:17, In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. With the time that I have left, I would like to direct your attention to three categories that James addresses in verses 2-11 that set the tone for the rest of the epistle: 1) suffering and joy (vv. 2-4), 2) wisdom and knowledge (vv. 5-8), and 3) poverty and wealth (vv. 9-11). Suffering and Joy are Compatible (vv. 1-4) Suffering and joy sound just as incompatible as water and oil do they not? Whoever wanted to sign up for a healthy dose of suffering? You might be thinking to yourself: Jesus did. You are correct in thinking so, but do not forget that on the eve of His suffering, we are told our Lord prayed while in agony over what He was about to suffer: And being in agony, He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground (Luke 22:44). Jesus even included in His prayer, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done (22:42). The world tends to look at joy and suffering as incomparable, but James gives us a different perspective, he informs these dispersed Jewish Christians who have lost their homes and loved ones, Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials... Notice that James does not use the word some but the word all when it comes to the level of joy that we should have over the various trials we will experience in life. Why should we consider it all joy when things get difficult in life? On the surface, it sounds like James is giving us the same advice Bobby McFerrin gave us in the late 80s with his one-hit-wonder song, Dont Worry, Be Happy. Some of you remember the song: Here's a little song I wrote You might want to sing it note for note Don't worry, be happy In every life we have some trouble But when you worry you make it double Don't worry, be happy Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style Ain't got no one to make you smile Don't worry, be happy Cos when you worry, your face will frown And that will bring everybody down So don't worry, be happy Did you know that McFerrins song was number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for two weeks straight and that he received a Grammy for Song of the Year for that song? If James told these Christians the same thing Bobby McFerrin wrote in his song, they would have assumed that James was out of touch at best, and crazy at worse! Thankfully, James is not telling Christians who face the various trials that come our way to fake a smile and repeat to ourselves: Dont worry, be happy. That just will not work! James also experienced the fear his dear brothers and sisters experienced when persecution came into their city, and he no doubt felt the loss of dear Stephen when he had his head and body crushed under a barrage of rocks that resulted in Stephens martyrdom (see Acts 7). James is not talking about putting a smile on your face or faking your joy after receiving news of a terminal illness, the loss of a job, or the death of a loved one. He is reminding us that there is purpose behind our suffering even when it is brought to us by the hands of evil men or rouge cells in your body. Behind your suffering is a good God who does not waste your tears nor your hurts. What James wants these Christians to understand, and what the Spirit of God wants us to know, is that the various trials you will experience are allowed into your life by design and with purpose. Consider what two other apostles had to say about the purpose of suffering in the Christian life: The Apostle Peter: In this you greatly rejoice, even though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been distressed by various trials, so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ... (1 Pet. 1:67) The Apostle Paul: ...but we also celebrate in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. (Rom. 5:35) It is also important to note that James informs us that trials will come. The question is not if they come, but when they come (v. 2). We will come back to the significance of verses 3-4 next week when we look at verse 12, but for now you should know that your trials are producing something in you dear Christian. What those trials are producing is the kind of endurance that is fueled by hope because what others mean for evil, or what the hard things in life will ultimately be used for is not your demise or destruction, but your good, because such trials are allowed for two purposes in your life: Gods glory and your good. What else could verse 4 mean? Such trials are wielded by the Almighty to bring about the following in your life: ...that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Again, we will unpack this truth a bit more next week, but for now, think of trials as trails that God has purposed to use, to bring about verse 12 in your life: Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. Wisdom for Life is Found in God (vv. 5-8) When we walk through the various trials that will come, such painful experiences can throw us through a tailspin. This is why some deconstruct their faith and walk away from the Christian faith and ask questions like: How can a good God allow such and such into my life? You can look at your circumstances and draw from those things your own conclusions without any regard for how God intends to use such trials to produce something much more lasting and beautiful in your life. Think about how easy it is to walk through your suffering and the hard things of life with little regard to seek wisdom from the One who has called us to walk through such trials. The point of verses 5-8 is that all of life requires a greater wisdom that can only come from the One whose knowledge and understanding of your life and the world is infinite. The fact of the matter is that you really do not know what is coming in while you sit and listen to this sermon. You do not know if there is some rogue cell in your body that threatens certain parts of your body. On a Monday (June 30th) I was told that my uncle was in hospice and by Thursday morning (July 3rd) he was dead. This is why Jesus said, For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the sky, that they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather crops into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more important than they (Matt. 6:2526)? Jesus did not just tell us to not worry but provided the best way to fight and push back our anxiety: But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you (Matt. 6::33). Listen, when the trials come in the form of waves or even tsunamis, if your faith is not tethered to the One who is sovereign over such waves, you will be driven and tossed by the wind (Jas. 1:6). The point James is making in verse 5 is that we do what Jesus told us to do: Dont lean onto your own understanding in the midst of your trial but seek wisdom from the God who wants to use your trials to produce what is lacking in you. Instead of asking, Why me? You ought to ask: Lord, please use this trial in a way that helps me know and understand you more so that I can live the life you have called me to live better. Instead of running to your own conclusions, seek wisdom from the One who sees the whole picture of your life. Instead of running to whatever solution you think is best, run to Him who knows what is best! Our Treasure is Not Earthly (vv. 9-11) Finally, regardless of what you have in your bank account, your position and status before God has nothing to do with what the world thinks of you but what God thinks of you. The real question is not how much you have of this world, but how much of your heart does the Lord have of you? What is your so-called faith? Is it just religion? Where or who is your treasure? Most of those to whom James was writing, were poor. With the persecution that came to Jerusalem, they had lost their income, property, and social status. However, there were some who were wealthy. For those who are poor, it is easy to conclude that God has forgotten them. For those who are wealthy, it is easy to forget God. The danger for both groups of people is to become spiritually near-sighted to the point that you fail to set your eyes on what it is that you did not work for and cannot lose. How can you experience joy in suffering? Where does lasting wisdom really come from, wisdom that guides rather than blinds? It comes from setting our eyes upon that which has been given and promised to those who have been truly saved by the grace of God through faith in His Son, to receive the gift of salvation that you cannot work for or earn. Those who share in James status as bond-servants of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ (v. 1), are heirs of Him who spoke and owns the cattle on a thousand hills! The poor are to glorify in their high position as those whose inheritance and status is found in the King of kings and Lord of lords! The rich person who also is a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, must hold his/her wealth with an open hand in a way that honors God and serves His people. Why? Well, in the words of the famous missionary, CT Studd: Only one life, 'twill soon be past, only what's done for Christ will last. Let me leave you with this final thought: When you are going through the hard stuff, know that because of your identity as a Christian, that God is more interested in your good than you can ever wrap your mind around. When the trials come, because you are a Christian this much is true: You are more sinful than you know and more loved than you imagine.

Der senegalesische Bassist, Sänger und Komponist Alune Wade zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass er immer wieder die Grenzen zwischen unterschiedlichen Musikstilen überschreitet. Inspirieren lässt er sich dabei unter anderem von Künstlern wie Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Youssou N'Dour oder Bobby McFerrin. Mit seinem neuen Album verneigt sich der 1978 geborene Musiker vor der Verbindung zwischen westafrikanischen Musiktraditionen und der Jazzkultur von New Orleans. Genres, Klänge, Traditionen und Weltanschauungen fügen sich wie aus einem Guss zusammen mit einer zeitgenössischen Note, schwärmt unsere Jazzkritikerin Marlene Küster: ein wirklich hörenswertes Album, meisterhaft musikalisch umgesetzt.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 30, 2025 is: insouciance in-SOO-see-unss noun Insouciance is a formal word that refers to a feeling of carefree unconcern. It can also be understood as a word for the relaxed and calm state of a person who is not worried about anything. // The young actor charmed interviewers with his easy smile and devil-may-care insouciance. See the entry > Examples: “Gladiator II is OK when Denzel's off-screen, but sensational when he's on it. ... What makes the performance great is its insouciance; it's both precise and feather-light. And it's what a great actor can do when he's set free to have fun, to laugh at himself a little bit. ... Denzel's Macrinus is gravitas and comic relief in one package.” — Stephanie Zacharek, Time, 22 Nov. 2024 Did you know? If you were alive and of whistling age in the late 1980s or early 1990s, chances are you whistled (and snapped your fingers, and tapped your toes) to a little ditty called “Don't Worry, Be Happy” by Bobby McFerrin, an a cappella reggae-jazz-pop tune that took the charts by surprise and by storm. An ode to cheerful insouciance if ever there was one, its lyrics are entirely concerned with being entirely unconcerned, remaining trouble-free in the face of life's various stressors and calamities. Such carefree nonchalance is at the heart of insouciance, which arrived in English (along with the adjective insouciant), from French, in the 1800s. The French word comes from a combining of the negative prefix in- with the verb soucier, meaning “to trouble or disturb.” The easiness and breeziness of insouciance isn't always considered beautiful, however. Insouciance may also be used when someone's lack of concern for serious matters is seen as more careless than carefree.
Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's conversation comes in two parts. Like it's geographical spread, northern hemisphere to southern hemisphere, think of this two part discussion as a way of engaging both hemispheres of your brain--the creative and the analytic. My guest is fellow Stanford alum and founder of The Jazz & Democracy Project® (J&D) (https://www.jazzdemocracy.com), Wesley “Dr. Wes” J. Watkins. After several years working in the education sector, Dr. Wes launched the program in November 2009 at Rosa Parks Elementary School, located in San Francisco's historic Fillmore District. J&D is a music integrated curriculum that utilizes jazz as a metaphor to bring democracy to life, enrich the study and teaching of history, government, civics and culture, and inspire youth to become active, positive contributors to their communities. He first proposed the curriculum as part of his undergraduate honors program at Stanford's School of Education and later conducted research for his undergraduate honors thesis at Oxford University where he engaged and learned from music educators at both local elementary schools and world renowned secondary institutions. Now based in Sydney, Australia, J&D has traveled to countries all over the world and, in these times of global social transition, Dr. Wes anticipates continued opportunities to feature and further innovate using tools that will leave lasting impact on the ways that youth and educators approach building and living in their communities and beyond.

Song: vocal improvisation Improvised by: David Ruffin and Patricia Norton Notes: It's a first for A Breath of Song! An episode of improvisation -- David Ruffin is our guest, talking about the multiple benefits of the practice of improvisation, his teachers, leading menfolk in song circles, the particular challenges of having a big, beautiful voice, how singing together might build soil in these times... and more! We hope you join us in exploring the voice, and that our questions raise questions for you, too... Songwriter Info: David is a performing artist, community song leader and teacher with a passion for authentic expression. He loves creating space for voices to emerge fully and freely. He calls Central Vermont home, where he's grateful to be able to share his holistic approach to voice in community through lessons, workshops, community singing and performance collaborations. David's work is inspired by a diverse background including studies with Roy Hart Center voice teachers, deep dives in vocal improvisation, explorations in Voice Movement Therapy and over 20 plus years of performing arts, teaching and counseling/ministry experience. David believes singing helps us remember who we really are, what we're here to voice and, how we're, thankfully, so very bound up together in this.

Greetings Glocal Citizens! This week's conversation comes in two parts. Like it's geographical spread, northern hemisphere to southern hemisphere, think of this two part discussion as a way of engaging both hemispheres of your brain--the creative and the analytic. My guest is fellow Stanford alum and founder of The Jazz & Democracy Project® (J&D) (https://www.jazzdemocracy.com), Wesley “Dr. Wes” J. Watkins. After several years working in the education sector, Dr. Wes launched the program in November 2009 at Rosa Parks Elementary School, located in San Francisco's historic Fillmore District. J&D is a music integrated curriculum that utilizes jazz as a metaphor to bring democracy to life, enrich the study and teaching of history, government, civics and culture, and inspire youth to become active, positive contributors to their communities. He first proposed the curriculum as part of his undergraduate honors program at Stanford's School of Education and later conducted research for his undergraduate honors thesis at Oxford University where he engaged and learned from music educators at both local elementary schools and world renowned secondary institutions. Now based in Sydney, Australia, J&D has traveled to countries all over the world and, in these times of global social transition, Dr. Wes anticipates continued opportunities to feature and further innovate using tools that will leave lasting impact on the ways that youth and educators approach building and living in their communities and beyond.

Bobby McFerrin wrote the Grammy-award winning song, “Don't Worry! Be Happy!” Is Jesus saying that too? Let's find out together as we read Matthew 6:25-34 and Psalm 27.
Join us in-person for a discussion with performance, as we delve into music and the technology revolution, hearing Black voices on how technology is impacting our music. African Americans have played an outsized and pivotal role in American and global music. At most of the shifts and transitions in music driven by technology and culture, Black Americans have been in the forefront. Join us for a discussion of the past, present and future of the mix of technology and music with a focus on African American innovation. In addition to the panel discussion, we will end with a short suite of performances by the presenters.

His style is likened to Lou Rawls, Nat King Cole and Bill Withers and he is known for his “velvet voice,” wit and engaging rapport that has drawn audiences into his live performances around the world. As an educator, Nicolas has worked with the California Jazz Conservatory and Jazz Camp West teaching “Vocal Intensive” workshops, skills he honed on the road as a member of Bobby McFerrin's wildly innovative a cappella ensemble, “Voicestra” for more than 10 years, and was the chair of “popular voice” for the Young Arts Foundation in Miami, Florida for 5 years.

This week's passage, Matthew 6:25-34, sure seems a lot like singing with Bobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry Be Happy," which is easier said than done (amiright?). So there must be more to it than that. Towards the end of this passage comes one of Jesus's famous sayings, "Seek first the kingdom of God and God's righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." But what does that really mean? And what doesn't it mean? Grace and peace, Joanne
Bobby McFerrin is one of the most famous musicians on the planet. He's been a singer, a conductor, a music ambassador, and even a pop star. But he's also written one of the most polarizing one-hit wonder songs of all time, which was both recognized by the Library of Congress and ridiculed by Public Enemy. Lots to explore in this episode about an incredible and venerable musician.Connect with us at tapeheadspod.comRELATED LINKS:Our Don't Worry, Be Happy playlist, on SpotifyBobby McFerrin, on SpotifyBobby McFerrin, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" official viideo, on YouTubePlaying For Change, "Don't Worry, Be Happy" video, on YouTubePlaying For Change official web site

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2025“HOY ES TENDENCIA”Narrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================12 de FebreroDon't worry, be happy«Todas estas cosas son las que preocupan a los paganos, pero ustedes tienen un Padre celestial que ya sabe que las necesitan». Mateo 6: 32El título de la meditación de hoy lo he tomado de una canción muy popular, Quizás ya estás sonriendo, al recordar el silbido que caracteriza esta famosa tonada. Esta canción ha sido atribuida erróneamente a Bob Marley, pero su compositor fue en realidad Bobby McFerrin y en la primera estrofa escribió que «en la vida todos tenemos problemas, y cuando te preocupas los multiplicas» y luego dice la frase que se repite en toda la canción: -Don't worry, be happy-, o sea: -No te preocupes, sé feliz-.McFerrin acertó al componer esta canción, destacando un aspecto fundamental de la vida: nuestras preocupaciones constantes que, en muchas ocasiones, obstaculizan nuestra capacidad para experimentar la felicidad. Las inquietudes más comunes suelen estar vinculadas con la vivienda, la alimentación, la vestimenta y otras necesidades físicas. Aunque es innegable que estas son esenciales para sentirnos seguros y protegidos, con frecuencia, lo que realmente nos consume no es la satisfacción de estas necesidades básicas, sino el poco saludable deseo de acumular más de lo que realmente necesitamos.Hace más de dos mil años, el Maestro de Galilea dijo en sus propias palabras: -No te preocupes, sé feliz-. En el Sermón del Monte, Jesús comparó nuestras necesidades con algunos elementos de la naturaleza: ¿Te preocupas porque no tienes comida? ¡Mira las aves! No siembran ni almacenan y Dios las alimenta. ¿Te inquietas porque no tienes ropa? ¡Mira las flores! No trabajan y Dios las viste. Jesús concluye diciendo: Si así viste Dios a la hierba que hoy está en el campo y mañana es arrojada al horno, ¿no hará mucho más por ustedes? (Mat. 6: 30).Cristo dijo que Dios sabe que tenemos necesidad de todas estas cosas. ¡Qué alentador es saber que hay un Dios que se interesa en mis necesidades! ¡Qué bueno es saber que Dios no está allá a lo lejos, preocupado solo por mi vida espiritual, sino que también está pendiente de mi bienestar físico!Hoy Dios te dice: No te preocupes, sé feliz, porque yo cuido de ti. Me gusta cómo Pedro lo expresó: Depositen en él toda ansiedad, porque él cuida de ustedes (1 Pedro 5:7, NVI). ¿No crees que ese es un mensaje que vale la pena compartir hoy con alguien? Hagamos de las palabras de Jesucristo una tendencia en este día.

Rose Lewis was a member first of an award winning Lawrence University's Conservatory of Music. She went on to perform with major artists such as Bobby McFerrin, Diane Reeves, teaching school based bands, and has freelanced with a greater number of groups than can be listed here. Way back in 1991, Rose won the Minnesota Composer's Forum's Composer Commissioning Project, and that opened the door to performing her work. Unfortunately, Rose was on the shelf due to illness for 16 years, and she is back, teaching and composing. Rose got together to talk about her composing with Phil Nusbaum.
La soul est américaine, comme Wolfgang Valbrun et Michelle David. Démonstration dans cette double #SessionLive ! (Rediffusion) Notre 1er invité est Wolfgang Valbrun. Il est invité dans la #SessionLive pour la sortie de l'album Flawed By Design. Wolfgang Valbrun est un auteur-compositeur-interprète né et élevé dans l'État de New York, dont la carrière musicale s'est épanouie en Europe, notamment à Paris où il s'est installé à l'adolescence.Sa mère lui a donné une éducation musicale précoce qui couvre un large spectre, de Bob Marley à Bobby McFerrin, de Billy Joel à Elton John et de Charles Aznavour à Grace Jones, le tout infusé d'une touche de Kompa, la saveur musicale haïtienne qui a influencé de nombreuses scènes musicales caribéennes.Les premières années de Wolf ont été marquées par des périodes tumultueuses, car il déménageait régulièrement entre différents pays en raison de la séparation de ses parents. C'est lorsqu'il s'est installé à Paris que sa vie a pris un tournant décisif. La transition vers une nouvelle culture et un nouvel environnement a exigé une transformation complète, laissant derrière lui les repères familiers qu'il avait connus auparavant.Guidé par des cousins plus âgés, il s'éloigne du rock américain qui définissait ses goûts et s'immerge dans le monde de la soul, du jazz, du hip-hop et de la musique brésilienne. Des artistes comme Erykah Badu, The Roots, Seu Jorge et Gilberto Gil ont marqué son parcours musical. Les horizons de Wolfgang se sont élargis pour embrasser une riche diversité de genres, laissant une empreinte indélébile sur sa jeune âme d'artiste.À la fin de ses études secondaires, Wolfgang cherche à changer d'air. Il passe une année au Venezuela où la salsa, le merengue, la cumbia et le calypso charment et forment ses sens musicaux. De retour au pays, il auditionne pour rejoindre le groupe de funk parisien « Marvellous », où il rencontre Thierry Lemaitre, avec qui il écrit et joue depuis lors.Wolfgang a ensuite rencontré ses futurs collègues James Graham et Adam Holgate en jouant avec Marvellous aux côtés du groupe britannique de soul The Tastemakers.Par un coup du sort, Hillman Mondegreen, leader du groupe The Tastemakers, a proposé à Wolfgang de rejoindre son nouveau projet ephemerals en tant que chanteur et Wolf a saisi sa chance de montrer son talent à un public international.Le premier album des Ephemerals, Nothin Is Easy, est un classique de la soul avec une touche de modernité, les chansons de Mondegreen étant un véhicule parfait pour la voix distinctive de Wolf, qui apporte un élément-clé d'émotion et de puissance à la musique du groupe.Titres interprétés au grand studio :- Where Is The Peace Live RFI- Paris, extrait du CD- Sun Don't Shine Live RFI.Line Up : Wolfgang Valbrun (Lead Vocal), Adam Holgate (Guitar), Thierry Lemaitre (Sax), James Graham (Keys), Charlie Fitzgerald (Bass), Rhi Williams (Drums) et Damian McLean- Brown (Trumpet).Son : Benoît Letirant, Jérémie Besset.► Album Flawed By Design (Jalapeno Rd 2024).YouTube - Web - Facebook - instagram Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Michelle David & The True-Tones pour la sortie de l'album Brothers & Sisters.Élevée à New York dans une église, Michelle David a commencé à chanter à l'âge de quatre ans et a rejoint son premier groupe, The Mission of Love, un an plus tard. Au cours de sa carrière, elle a parcouru le monde avec la comédie musicale de Broadway Mama, contribué à des pièces de théâtre à succès tels que The Sound of Motown, Glory of Gospel et Mahalia, et enregistré pour des artistes tels que Diana Ross et Michael Bolton. Tout cela s'est produit avant la sortie de six albums de gospel acclamés par la critique avec les True-Tones. Avec leurs grooves entraînants, leurs voix puissantes et leurs mélodies fortes, Michelle David & The True-Tones ont déjà conquis de nombreux festivals et de nombreux clubs.Avec le nouvel album du groupe, Brothers & Sisters, première sortie sous Record Kicks, Michelle David & the True-Tones crée un voyage sonore qui résonne avec l'esprit soul de leurs concerts. Le nouvel album a été enregistré en direct - avec le groupe au complet, simultanément dans une seule pièce, ce qui donne un son énergique, authentique et captivant. Michelle David & the True-Tones utilisent leur plateforme artistique pour inspirer un changement positif, encourageant les auditeurs à les rejoindre dans un voyage de réflexion, de compassion et de responsabilité collective. Dans un monde plein de défis, Brothers & Sisters émerge comme un phare musical, éclairant le chemin vers un avenir où l'héritage de l'amour et de la lumière perdure.Titres interprétés au grand studio :- Brothers and Sisters Live RFI voir le clip - Cold Cold World, extrait du Cd voir le clip - That is You Live RFI.Line up : Michelle David (Chant), Onno Smit (Guitare basse), Paul Willemsen (Guitare basse), Bas Bouma (Batterie), Bart van der List (Trompette), Paul van de Calseijde (Sax tenor), Claus Tofft (Congas) +Claire Simon (Traductrice).Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor.► Album Brothers & Sisters (Record Kicks 2024).Web - facebook - Instagram.
Roy Borland estudió 8 años de conservatorio, pero también se ha curtido como músico callejero y en las jam sessions. Sus influencias vienen del R&B y del folk, estilos a los que añade su frescura particular. Entre sus influencias cita a Jorge Drexler, Bobby McFerrin, Brian McKnight, Radiohead, Coldplay y Jacob Collier. Su voz, aterciopelada y cercana, es uno de los elementos más característicos de su sonido, así como sus letras, que en su última etapa están enfocadas en ensalzar el placer de los momentos cotidianos.Escuchar audio

Episode 027: Grab your Rubik's Cube and slip into those leg warmers, because this week on Six Picks Music Club, we're totally tubular with our radical rundown of 1980s One Hit Wonders! Geoff, Dave, and Russ are busting out their finest Members Only jackets to bring you a gnarly selection of tunes that'll have you reaching for your Aqua Net. We're talking about the bands that burned brighter than neon and faded faster than your acid-washed jeans! Get ready to take on A-ha's "Take On Me" without needing to jump into any pencil-sketched worlds. We'll be walking on sunshine with Katrina & the Waves, spinning right round (baby, right round) with Dead or Alive, and don't worry - we promise not to make you listen to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" on repeat like your local radio station did back in '88. But wait, there's more! We're blasting off with Peter Schilling's "Major Tom," proving that space was the place in the 80s. And of course, what would a trip back to the 80s be without doing the Safety Dance with Men Without Hats?

Hey there, happy Monday!
Song: (O Spirit) Guide Me to Those I Need Music by: Aimée Ringle Notes: If you've run across Aimée Ringle's work, you know her wicked musical skills, her exuberant, high-energy presence, her huge heart and desire to be of service... and you may not yet know how she grew into her voice, the questions she asks herself around how best to contribute to songcircles, her deep desire for village community, and questions about how to make that real in the here and now. We dig a little into one of the hard conversations in songcircles or any group situation where people bring varying skill levels -- how can people of varying skill levels feel welcome and find space and satisfaction as they are? We talk about what Aimée finds she needs to be able to let songs come through and more! Aimée shares the story of how O Spirit came through and we sing it both with guitar and in an up-close and personal way. It's a big episode because we let our conversation spread out, enjoying the end of summer and a sense of expansiveness. I hope you, too, find that pleasure of connection when you join us. Songwriter Info: Aimée Ringle is a singer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, song-leader, and storyteller. She has an invigorating teaching style that is enriched by her capable percussion and guitar skills. Aimée's work as a song-leader and storyteller have woven her into an ever widening community of cultural shifters around the country in the realms of sustainable agriculture, alternative education, community living, healing, creativity, and spiritual exploration ~ all of which are reflected in the songs she carries. As a song-leader, Aimée's work and example have become a valued part of several Ancestral skills gatherings including Winter Count, Spirit Weavers and Sharpening Stone. Sharing Info: The song is free to share in oral tradition groups, but please contact Aimée for recording and/or performing permission. She says: "For now, the song is just the chorus, but I am paying attention to its evolution and leaving space for the possibility of verses, etc. But this will not be a group process and I'm not inviting unsolicited creative ideas in this process."

José Antonio Bowen: Teaching With AI José Antonio Bowen has won teaching awards at Stanford and Georgetown and is past president of Goucher College. He has written over 100 scholarly articles and has appeared as a musician with Stan Getz, Bobby McFerrin, and others. He is the author of multiple books in higher education and is a senior fellow for the American Association of Colleges and Universities. He is the author with C. Edward Watson of Teaching With AI: A Practical Guide to a New Era of Human Learning*. AI will change how we work, but it's also going to change how we think. In this conversation, José and I explore where to begin working with AI and why those who can use it will serve a critical role in shaping what's next. Key Points Physical maps make you smarter than GPS, but GPS is more practical for daily use. AI isn't inherently good or bad, but like the internet, it will change how we work. AI will eliminate some jobs, but it will change every job. Those who can work with AI will replace those who can't. Rather than thinking about creativity through the lens of responses from AI, focus on bringing creativity into your prompts. Most of the AI progress for companies is coming from non-tech folks that are figuring our how specific tasks get more efficient. AI is very good at some things and not good at others. You'll discover how this relates to your work by experimenting with different prompts.

Grammy winning musician Clay Ross joins Rhett to discuss his powerful new project, American Patchwork Quartet and their mission to celebrate the immigrant soul of American music. Clay explains how the group of acclaimed musicians came together, the creative process behind the making of the record, and how the project reflects his own “patchwork” journey into music. The two discuss the challenges of being an independent artist, the power of collaboration, and Clay explains why being a DIY musician provides the fuel to keep going. Clay Ross is a multi-Grammy winning artist and the founder of the band Ranky Tanky. He has collaborated with artists as diverse as Gregory Porter, Snarky Puppy, and Bobby McFerrin. He is a teaching artist and the co-founder of Compose Your Career, an online course that teaches musicians how to create a sustainable career in the performing arts.
