The GURU is back after a few weeks off. There has been some very hard times, but we are getting through this rough stretch. The New York Knicks will play the San Antonio Spurs after a thrilling game seven, ousting the defending World Champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The GURU is going with the Spurs in 7. My Vegas Golden Knights are heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Carolina Hurricanes, after shocking the Colorado Avalanche in four straight. The GURU Is going with the VGK in 7. There has been several people that we had to say goodbye to, but the Saxophone genius, one of the last great jazz musicians of our time has left us. Sonny Rollins was no doubt, one of the last greats that made jazz one of the greatest art forms in music history. He was legendary in every sense of the word. When we take a look back and mention the greats, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins has to be considered in the top tier of greats. At 95 years old, he was the last of era gone by. This episode is dedicated to him. We will be back next week with Episode 316, enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend and be safe.

Proseguimos viaje por el jazz en el cine. Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Herbie Hancock, Louis Armstrong, Gerry Mulligan...Escuchar audio

J'espère que vous aimez le saxophone ! A l'occasion de la présence de l'excellent JOHN HELLIWELL, LE saxophoniste de SUPERTRAMP durant tout ce week-end à Blain (44) dans le cadre du festival MOVIES ON THE ROCKS, la 1ère partie de ce numéro est consacré au Maître de Cérémonie des super clochards. Sans doute l'ultime occasion de voir cette légende dans la région !  A L'origine de ce festival, le nantais ALAN SIMON entre autres cordes à son arc, auteur-compositeur et réalisateur. Donc bien légitime pour organiser cet évènement alliant 7ème Art et rock ! L'occasion de vous faire quelques toiles (dès ce vendredi soir avec "Woodstock") et d'assister à des concerts, notamment de notre John et son "Big Tramp" qui reprendra les grands standards de Supertramp à la sauce jazz, mais aussi CALI et pour la fin en apothéose dimanche soir : Excalibur, le fameux concert mythique (5 albums au compteur depuis sa création par Alan en 1998, qui a réuni autour de la Table Ronde un grand nombre de Ladies et Chevaliers souvent issus de la scène progressive et souvent entendus dans cette émission ! ).  Durant la première demi-heure de cet épisode d'Amarok on retrouve donc John et son instrument sur un extrait live (histoire de vous mettre dans l'ambiance ! ) de SUPERTRAMP, le fameux enregistrement au Pavillon de Paris en 1979 avec un titre vocalement interprété par le regretté Rick Davies, le co-fondateur de la formation qui nous a quittés il y a quelques mois (je vous renvoie au replay du numéro d'Amarok du 11/09/2025, 2ème numéro de la saison qui lui était en grande partie consacrée.). Puis John avec sa formation jazz pour une reprise du répertoire de ses anciens collègues sur l'album "JOHN HELLIWELL' Supertramp Big Tramp" paru l'année dernière. Depuis plusieurs années, John se produit et sort des albums de jazz, avec un son tout à son image sereine, flegmatique à l'anglaise et pour l'avoir rencontré à quelques reprises, charmant et accessible. Bref, il ressemble à sa façon de jouer !  Je ne pouvais pas évoquer ce festival organisé par ALAN SIMON et qui se terminera dimanche soir par des extraits de sa fameuse saga Excalibur, sans vous en proposer un bel exemple ! J'ai choisi un titre issu de l'album le plus récent de l'épopée, le volume V : "Moves, Cry, Act, Clash!" sorti en 2021. Sur cet extrait, John, of course, mais aussi Jesse Siebenberg au chant (le fils du batteur de Supertramp Bob Siebenberg et qui avait rejoint le groupe aux côtés de son père il y a quelques années). Enfin, le magicien de la six cordes , ex-Genesis : STEVE HACKETT himself !  Cette première partie se termine avec PINK FLOYD, dont le guitariste David Gilmour avait été invité sur le titre éponyme de l'album "Brother Where You Bound" de Supertramp paru en 1985. Une fresque déjà incroyable mais que Gilmour avait sublimée ! Le nouveau patron du Floyd invitera à son tour John pour le nouvel album du Floyd "A Momentary Lapse Of Reason" en 1987 et qu'on retrouve donc encore ici. A notez pour l'anecdote que ces deux albums évoqués sont particuliers pour chaque groupe : premier disque sans Roger Hodgon pour l'un et sans Roger Waters pour l'autre …  Laissons John reprendre son souffle pour le festival de Blain.  Mais le dernier titre de cette première partie de l'émission est encore du PINK FLOYD (veinards ! ). Cela dit j'aurais préféré me passer d'avoir à rendre cet hommage. En effet, vendredi dernier, le 22 mai, Dick Parry s'en est allé… Les fans du Floyd savent la contribution que ce saxophoniste a pu apporter sur quelques uns de leurs albums et concerts des 70's : "Dark Side Of The Moon", "Wish You Were Here" et son retour sur l'album "The Divison Bell" en 1994 ainsi que sur le live consécutif "Pulse". J'ai eu la chance d'assister à l'un de ces concerts de 1994, quoi qu'on en dise sur le Floyd post-Waters, c'était fabuleux !  Et puis pour clore cette partie saxo de l'émission, sachez qu'un grand musicien nous a quittés cette semaine : SONNY Rollins (qui s'était illustré aux côtés et entre autres de Miles Davis, Charlie Parker ou encre John Coltrane, nous a quitté ce lundi à l'âge vénérable de 95 ans (le souffle ça conserve !)    Pour la seconde partie de l'émission, on commence avec une plongée les 70's avec CAMEL, vu les températures, voilà un groupe de circonstances, hydratez vous !! A ces fins, je vous ai choisi un extrait de "Rain Dances" de 1977 et l'occasion d'évoquer encore un peu l'instrument guest de la 1ère partie de l'émission puisque cet album est marqué par l'arrivée de Mel Collins au saxo, qui pour expérience sur son CV, peut s'enorgueillir d'y inscrire King Crimson. Collins qu'on retrouvera notamment chez Alan Parsons Project dans les 80's et qui surtout sera demandé par tous les plus grands. On le retrouvera alors dans une liste de collaborations plus grandes que mon bras, et pourtant j'ai le bras long !! L'exploration de l'excellent "Out Of Step" des non moins talentueux ESTHESIS se poursuit avec cette fois, un instrumental, titre de clôture de l'album. Et si Aurélien Goude est à l'origine du projet Esthesis, son auteur-compositeur, ce titre a la particularité d'être co-signé avec ses musiciens talentueux qui font partie de l'esthétique sonore du groupe. Bravo à Arnaud (batterie), Marc (basse), Rémi (guitare) et Mathilde (vocaux) car Aurélien, outre ses capacités d'écriture, a aussi ce talent de réunir les gens compétent nécessaires pour faire fonctionner son projet, comme je vous incite à le constater le 26 septembre prochain à l'Alhambra de Paris 1ère partie des cultissimes IQ  ! Avertissement pour le titre suivant : SUNO est à la manœuvre. Normalement pour moi c'est un gros mot ! Il s'agit en effet du célèbre logiciel de création par IA. Et par principe j'évite d'en diffuser. Toutefois, l'histoire de DICK DER HEIJDE est particulière. Né en 1963, ce musicien néerlandais fut victime d'un AVC à l'âge de 28. Totalement paralysé, cet amateur de rock progressif ne pourra s'exprimer que par clignement de l'œil pour communiquer puis interagir avec un ordinateur. Il deviendra critique musical ayant ,de fait, du renoncer à la pratique musicale.  Mais la technologie apportée par l'IA vient de lui changer la vie en lui permettant par un usage intelligent (humainement), d'exprimer musicalement ses émotions et notamment son syndrome d'enfermement. Alors oui, la production, les instruments et même le chant sont crées artificiellement, mais l'émotion exprimée est bien humaine. Alors après réflexion j'ai décidé de diffuser un extrait de son 1er album, fort justement intitulé  "Locked In". Je n'encourage pas dans Amarok l'usage de l'IA aux fins de création mais dans ce contexte bien précis et touché par l'histoire de Dick,  j'avais à cœur de relayer les émotions qu'il à légitimement souhaité (et je pense réussi) à y véhiculer. Savez-vous que la Lorraine est hardie !! Je sais elle est facile ! En revanche le musicien suivant qui en est originaire est exigent et compétent ! Dans tous les domaines :  production, ingé-son, multi-instrumentiste (même si la guitare reste son jouet de prédilection),  ayant collaboré avec nombre d'artistes tels que Aurore Reichert (Mira Cetii), Ange (et aussi l'ex-Ange Caroline Crozat). D'ailleurs séraphin Palméri,  le nouveau claviériste de la formation qui m'est chère, à participé aux synthés sur le nouvel album de JEAN-PASCAL BOFFO : "Inner World'". Comme sur le précédent opus, Fred Kempf était également de la partie. Encore une très belle réussite de Jean-Pascal que j'ai grand plaisir à vous recommander !  Pour terminer ce dernier numéro du mois, retour sur le JETHRO TULL des années 70, plus précisément en 1971 avec "Aqualung", ici dans sa version dépoussiérée par un savant remixage opéré par Steven Wilson. Si Ian Anderson a relancé l'entreprise il y a quelques années avec de nouveaux musiciens, on a plaisir ici à retrouver un Martin Barre en forme à la six cordes, Maître du barré qui fût d'ailleurs l'un des fameux chevaliers de la Table Ronde de la saga Excalibur d'Alan Simon évoqué en début d'émission ! Ayons tout de même une pensée pour Mick Abrahams, décédé fin 2025. Il était le guitariste d'origine mais ne joua que sur le 1er album du groupe ("This Was" en 1968). AMAROK, chaque jeudi, à 20h

À 19 ans, Miles Davis arrive à New-York et atteint son but : trouver Charlie Parker et jouer avec lui. Fasciné par Bird, le jeune Miles va devoir se mettre à sa hauteur et suivre le train d'enfer imposé par le saxophoniste. Ce sont les années "bop" et leur revers : la nuit, la jungle de la ville, la drogue, le racisme. C'est l'école de la 52ème rue, et la rencontre avec un jeune arrangeur pas comme les autres, Gil Evans, avec qui Miles va inventer un nouveau son : Birth Of The Cool ! Deuxième épisode du Roman Noir de Miles Davis signé David Koperhant. Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Le 8 juillet 1991, alors qu'il donne l'un de ses ultimes concerts au festival de Montreux sous la direction de Quincy Jones, Miles Davis rejoue le film de sa vie. Une vie qui a débuté le 26 mai 1926 dans la banlieue de St Louis aux Etats-Unis. Dans le premier épisode du Roman Noir de Miles Davis, David Koperhant suit le parcours d'un jeune Miles qui ne vit que pour le jazz et ne rêve que d'une chose : prendre le premier train pour New-York et rencontrer son héros Charlie Parker ! Hébergé par Ausha.

Well, in this episode we dig into our Kansas City Roots.  We go to Kansas City in the 1920's where under 'Boss' Pendergast the city was a machine that kept clubs open all night and the liquor flowing.  It was a town famous for being a little naive, jazz, good barbecue and something called the Kansas City Stomp.  Kansas City had heard rumors of Prohibition and wanted no truck with it.  It was into this world that a young man named Charlie Parker, a man who would be nicknamed 'Bird' began to play an alto sax and he would get humiliated and come back stronger.  He became a good musician, and then he was in a car accident that broke his ribs and twisted his spine.  He was given morphine for the pain and this would start a second addiction, the first was to music.  He studied and practiced all he could in recovery and when he emerged he was a different player, he took the town by storm and he would go on to become one of the greats of Jazz and he'd become a big part of a muisc called bebop.  So come listen to a local tale of Kansas City and learn how a man became a myth and musical legend in this magical, mythical and musical episode of the Family Plot PodcastBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Bob pours a single barrel of EJ Curley and Frizz sips Glen Moray's Phoenix Rising as they unpack the genius and the chaos of the man who changed jazz forever and rewrote its language entirely. We get into Diz and Miles, contrafacts, the big wins and losses for the jazz scene and... more birds.

Documentary producer & record collector Jeanne Elfant Festa has made films about The Beatles, Foo Fighters, Pavarotti, Bee Gees and more. Today she discusses her latest movie on Billy Preston — revealing rare archive footage, Olivia Harrison's key role, and Eric Clapton's emotional on-camera tribute and a lot more. Check outtrailer and documentary screenings here Topics Include: Jeanne lost her entire vinyl collection in the Palisades fire. Her family and animals all escaped the fire safely. A custom-built, mathematically designed sound room housed the collection. Rebuilding takes time — the turntable alone hasn't been replaced yet. Music passion began with her Brooklyn-raised parents' rich jazz collection. Her dad snuck into the Apollo Theater via the fire escape. He carried a saxophone, jamming with musicians at the loading dock. The family soundtrack: Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker. Jeanne and her dad bonded over Bruce Springsteen's sax player. Her father did house calls exclusively for one patient — Miles Davis. Storytelling instincts came from parents who loved plays, movies, and performance. Her own record collection ranged from Rage Against the Machine to Supertramp. Vinyl's tactile magic: liner notes, textures, and each album's unique smell. Albums are movies — side one plays straight through, no skipping. Documentary filmmaking is passion-driven, not a path to big money. The Foo Fighters doc came from being in the right place. Business partner Nigel Sinclair's credits include Bob Dylan and George Harrison docs. Billy Preston first entered her life through her parents' living room stereo. Filming subjects who've passed requires diaries, archives, and extraordinary research teams. A granddaughter's undeveloped home movies transformed the Beach Boys documentary entirely. A stranger's undeveloped Beatles footage, found under a childhood bed, changed everything. Olivia Harrison unlocked archive footage and connected the team to Ringo and Clapton. Eric Clapton opened up in a way rarely seen on camera. Documentary ethics: three sources minimum, no gossip, no stunt casting ever. The Billy Preston film explores forgiveness, contradiction, and the full human condition.

Founded in 1972, Supersax (derived from "Super Saxophone") was a jazz ensemble dedicated to playing harmonized arrangements of Charlie Parker's bebop improvisations.

There's a story producers tell themselves about the greats.The story goes that Dilla made Donuts from his hospital bed. Knxwledge never stops dropping projects. And so the lesson becomes: work more, grind harder, output becomes the thing we chase.Swarvy thinks that's the wrong read entirely.When I brought up how producers like those two are celebrated for their output, he re-framed it simply: “You're carried by a genuine, just a genuine appreciation and love for music.” The output isn't the thing. It's just what you receive when you offer deep love and commitment to the work. Charlie Parker, Swarvy says, sounds like he's smiling the whole time. You can hear it. That's what was driving the productivity.What hit me, and I mention this during the conversation, is that Swarvy can work 12, 14-hour mixing sessions and has almost forgotten why. It's not forcing it. It's not discipline in the way we usually mean it. It's stamina built through years of consistent work that comes from genuine curiosity and love. His threshold for hearing the same thing over and over is, by his own account, insanely high. He'll still be making clear decisions deep in a mix when the artist who made the song has already mentally checked out.He didn't develop that by grinding. He developed it by staying a fan.That thread runs through the whole conversation. Swarvy has thought hard about keeping music fun, not as a productivity hack, but because the moment it stops being fun something is genuinely wrong. He'll find a record that shifts how he makes things for weeks. He gives himself permission to make terrible beats on purpose just to laugh at them. Practice, he says, is for him. Not for money, not for output, not to stay competitive. The second he started comparing practice time to what it could be earning him, he started losing something real.We also get into his full mixing philosophy and workflow. The solo-blend-solo-blend approach he runs 50-plus times through a session. Why he works from the center of the mix outward. How he keeps group processing minimal until the individual pieces are already sounding right.One last thing: Is it a coincidence that the guy making bad beats with random sounds to make himself laugh is the same guy that can work for 14 hour stretches?If this is your first time here, ProducerHead is a podcast and publication for producers who think seriously about the work.

2026 marque le centenaire de Momo Wandel Soumah. Le chanteur et musicien disparu en 2003 était une figure de la musique guinéenne et l'un des plus grands saxophonistes d'Afrique. Sa carrière commence durant la période coloniale, dans des orchestres comme La Joviale Symphonie ou La Douce Parisette. Il connaît le succès sous Sékou Touré (1958-1984), période d'intense promotion de la musique traditionnelle guinéenne, et explose véritablement en entamant une carrière solo dans les années 1990. Avec ce reportage, on se plonge dans les années 1970 avec la chanson « Miri Magnin », de l'orchestre Keletigui et ses Tambourinis. Momo Wandel est au saxo. De notre correspondant à Conakry, Momo Wandel avait su allier différents styles de musique pour créer le sien. C'est pour cela que Justin Morel Junior, journaliste et auteur de plusieurs livres sur la musique guinéenne, l'a admiré : « Il a été beaucoup influencé par de grands jazzmen, notamment Charlie Parker, qu'on appelait The Bird. Il a été aussi influencé par des musiciens traditionnels guinéens. Son style était donc un mélange de ses connaissances musicales guinéennes et de ses recherches personnelles sur le plan international. Donc il avait été influencé au chant par le style de Louis Armstrong, cette façon gutturale de chanter, cette façon de se lâcher, d'improviser, c'était autant de choses qui lui étaient propres. » Jean-Baptiste Williams, lui aussi journaliste culturel et musicien, se souvient surtout de Momo Wandel sur scène : « Il bouge beaucoup ! Momo Wandel bouge beaucoup ! C'était vraiment un one man show. Vous savez généralement dans la structure des premiers orchestres africains, dont ceux guinéens, on met un ou deux chanteurs à l'avant. Les souffleurs, les ventistes sont à côté à gauche, les guitaristes au centre, mais derrière les chanteurs et ils sont toujours au second plan. Mais Momo Wandel ne tient pas tranquille ! Quand il commence son solo, à l'époque il n'y avait pas les micro-cravates et autres, mais Momo Wandel, ce n'est pas son problème ! Il bouge avec son soprano, sa clarinette ou son saxo alto. » « Je l'ai appelé "Sax Soleil", en référence à Louis XIV, le roi Soleil » C'est son solo de saxophone qu'on entend. Un jeu unique qui a poussé Justin Morel à le surnommer le « Sax Soleil » : « Pour moi, Momo Wandel, dans sa créativité, dans son génie artistique, rayonnait sur la musique guinéenne entièrement, et c'est pour cela que je l'ai appelé "Sax Soleil", cet instrument brillant, qui est doré en général, et pour lequel j'ai beaucoup de respect, et qu'il jouait avec beaucoup de prestance. Donc je l'ai appelé "Sax Soleil", comme d'autres avaient appelé Louis XIV, le roi Soleil. » Le centenaire de Momo Wandel sera en octobre. Nos deux spécialistes de la musique guinéenne espèrent que l'hommage sera à la hauteur de l'artiste.

​​Comienza este viaje por la interesante obra y la tortuosa vida del trompetista Chet Baker Chet fue un músico lleno de luces y sombras, alguien tocado por una varita mágica que le permitió desarrollar una fascinante carrera musical, aunque sus debilidades como ser humano no le permitieron progresar debidamente y acabaron con su vida de forma trágica y temprana. Durante algunos programas voy a relataros la historia de Chet y, sobre todo, mostraros su música. En este primer capítulo me centraré en sus orígenes, por lo que también escucharemos a los músicos que le inspiraron desde su niñez, como el trompetista Bix Beiderbecke, y en su juventud, cuando el bebop nació con fuerza y Charlie Parker, junto a otros boppers, fascinaron a cierto sector de la juventud estadounidense ávida de sensaciones fuertes. Poco a poco llegaremos a sus propios discos con el cuarteto de Gerry Mulligan primero y como líder de sus propias formaciones algo más tarde, encuadradas ya en lo que se denominó cool jazz o west coast jazz. Dejaremos a Chet en un momento bastante crítico, ya enganchado a las drogas y de vuelta de su primera gira por Europa. Para el resto, y os aseguro que habrá acontecimientos y músicas más que interesantes, tendréis que esperar al próximo episodio.

Charlie Parker was punk rock before there was punk rock. His bebop was underground music: subversive, intellectual, and a major departure from popular music of the day (think: Nat King Cole, The Andrews Sisters, Perry Como). He was an intellectual heavyweight, nearly untouchable in his technical ability and pushing music to places no one else was daring to go. So where did Charlie Parker with Strings, his most accessible album, come from?It's not Bird going commercial, like some have claimed. Charlie Parker with Strings is an album he fought to make. He loved Bach and Stravinsky (even quoting the opening of Stravinsky's 'Firebird Suite' mid-solo in one legendary performance), and had longed to make a record where his jazz saxophone was accompanied by strings.The resulting record is music's greatest improviser at his best. Jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness listen to select tracks (like "Just Friends" and "Summertime"), breaking down the theory behind the music to understand what makes this album great. Jazz is the foundation of the most GENIUS music in recent history: Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell, D'Angelo. In this popular music series, You'll Hear It, Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time. These seasoned jazz pianists bring their deep musical knowledge to every joyful episode to help you hear the hidden qualities that make music AMAZING. You'll never hear music the same way again.Like the jam at the end of the show?

Jazzdrum‑Playlist (Volgorde: van vroeg → modern) 1. Gene Krupa – “Sing, Sing, Sing” (Benny Goodman, 1937) De oerdonder van de swingdrums—Krupa maakt de toms en jungle‑feel wereldberoemd. 2. Baby Dodds – “Spooky Drums” (1946) Een solo-opname die laat horen hoe vroeg-jazzdrummers kleur, ritme en improvisatie benaderden. 3. Max Roach – “Cherokee” (met Charlie Parker, 1945) Razendsnelle bebop en totaal vernieuwend ride‑cymbalspel. 4. Art Blakey – “Moanin'” (1958) Blakey's “press roll thunder” en soulvolle drive: hét hard‑bop geluid. 5. Philly Joe Jones – “Two Bass Hit” (Miles Davis, 1958) Super strakke rudiments, dynamische fills, en meesterlijke controle. 6. Elvin Jones – “A Love Supreme: Pt II – Resolution” (John Coltrane, 1965) Golvende, spirituele storm aan polyritmiek. Volgens kenners één van de meest invloedrijke drumopnames ooit. 7. Tony Williams – “Seven Steps to Heaven” (Miles Davis, 1963) Williams was 17 (!) en revolutionair in drive, vrijheid en cymbal‑articulatie. 8. Roy Haynes – “Snap Crackle” (1962) Zijn bijna elektronische “snap & crackle” stijl komt hier volledig tot recht. 9. Billy Cobham – “Stratus” (1973) Kracht, snelheid, precisie: Cobham zet een nieuwe standaard voor fusiondrums. 10. Steve Gadd – Intro van 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover 11. Steve Gadd – “Foam Home” (Steve Gadd Band – 70-Strong, 2015) Legendarische precisie, frasevorming en groove—drummer's favorite. 12. Peter Weissink – Up Jumped Spring (Keys and Beats – 2024) Als toetje: de ‘huisdrummer’ en organisator van de Tor-JazzJamsessions: Peter Weissink en zijn muzikale companen John Hondorp en Sebatian Altekamp op hammond en piano. Drums en slagwerk vormen de ritmische motor van jazz. Van de vroege “trap sets” in New Orleans tot de complexe metriek van het modern jazz‑drummen: elke periode bracht nieuwe technieken, geluiden en muzikale rollen. 1. Vroege jazz & New Orleans (1900–1920) De moderne drumkit ontstond in New Orleans toen slagwerkers verschillende percussie-instrumenten combineerden tot één set (o.a. bass drum, snare en bekkens). Kenmerken Tweeledige rol: ritme én kleur Veel marching band‑invloeden Gebruik van vroege “rudiments” en eenvoudige ritmiek Belangrijke drummers Baby Dodds — pionier van het improvisatorische drumwerk Zutty Singleton — populair door zijn werk met Louis Armstrong 2. Swing Era & Big Bands (1930–1940) Met de opkomst van bigbands werd de drummer een tijd-keeper die de dansbare “swing feel” moest dragen. Kenmerken Focus op steady hi-hat en basdrum Grote orkesten → meer kracht en consistentie nodig Drumsoli worden een showelement Belangrijke drummers Gene Krupa — maakte de tom-toms beroemd, enorme showman Chick Webb — krachtig, invloedrijk swingdrummer Jo Jones — verplaatste de “time” van basdrum naar ride-bekken, een mijlpaal 3. Bebop (jaren 40) Bebop zette de drummer in een interactieve, minder voorspelbare rol. De muziek werd sneller, complexer en meer op improvisatie gericht. Kenmerken Ride-cymbal wordt het hoofdritme-instrument “Dropping bombs”: accenten op de basdrum Veel vrijheid en communicatie met solisten Belangrijke drummers Kenny Clarke — grondlegger van moderne bebop-drums Max Roach — melodisch drummen, polyritmiek Art Blakey — dynamisch en krachtig, bekend van Jazz Messengers 4. Hard Bop & Soul Jazz (jaren 50–60) De groove werd zwaarder en aardser, beïnvloed door gospel en blues. Kenmerken Sterkere backbeat Meer emotionele spanning Interactie met blazers en piano Belangrijke drummers Art Blakey (opnieuw) — echte hard bop‑architect Philly Joe Jones — strak, fel, met prachtige rudimental frases Elvin Jones — revolutionaire, golvende “drum‑storm” rond Coltrane 5. Modal Jazz en Post-Bop (jaren 60) De ritmische vrijheid neemt toe; drummers bewegen zich losser rond de beat. Kenmerken Minder voorspelbare patronen Veel gebruik van textuur en ruimte Accent verschuift van swing naar flow en kleur Belangrijke drummers Tony Williams — enorm vernieuwend op jonge leeftijd, bij Miles Davis Jack DeJohnette — lyrisch, open, breed geluid Roy Haynes — “snap, crackle”, lichte en springerige stijl 6. Jazz Fusion (jaren 70) Elektrische instrumenten en rockinvloeden brengen nieuwe energie. Kenmerken Krachtiger spel, rock‑dynamiek Complexe maatsoorten Gebruik van elektronische drums en percussie Belangrijke drummers Billy Cobham — stormachtig, technisch extreem sterk Lenny White — pionier bij Return to Forever Harvey Mason — funk‑jazz, strakke groove 7. Contemporary Jazz (jaren 80–heden) Hedendaagse drummers mengen jazz met wereldmuziek, hip-hop, elektronica, en nog veel meer. Kenmerken Hybride setups en elektronica Complexe metriek (bijv. 7/8, 11/8) Mix van jazz, pop, funk, hip-hop en indie-invloeden Belangrijke drummers Brian Blade — muzikaal, gevoelig, dynamisch Jeff “Tain” Watts — krachtige post-bop energie Mark Guiliana — pionier van elektrojazz en “future groove” Terri Lyne Carrington — veelzijdig, grensverleggend

When the artist Jennie C. Jones listens closely to a piece of music, she's particularly attuned to its pauses, in-between moments, and breaks. Widely celebrated for her abstract works in painting, sculpture, and sound art that, in many instances, incorporate architecture or space—through which she often elevates undersung or little-known Black artists and musicians—her practice is largely informed by minimalism and color field painting, as well as by jazz and avant-garde music. Jones currently has two exhibitions on view at the Pulitzer Arts Foundation in St. Louis (through Feb. 1, 2026): “A Line When Broken Begins Again,” which features a selection of new and existing paintings, sculptures, works on paper, and sound pieces, and “Other Octaves,” a group show she curated of works by artists who have been formative to her practice. She was also commissioned to create the 2025 rooftop installation at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art.On this episode of Time Sensitive, she discusses what listening as a conceptual practice looks like in action, the art of putting together a playlist, and her deep love of things tactile and analog.Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes: [04:35] “Jennie C.

Together they trace Roach's extraordinary journey: from his early days at the heart of bebop alongside Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker, through his pioneering role as a bandleader, his political activism during the civil rights era, and his later innovations in percussion and collaboration. Roach's story is one of constant reinvention as performer, composer and activist, shaping jazz and beyond for more than half a century.Music includes: Dr Free-Zee (from Max Roach +4) Joy Spring (from Clifford Brown and Max Roach) Bu Dee Daht (from Coleman Hawkins: Rainbow Mist) Salt Peanuts (from Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker: Town Hall, New York City, June 22, 1945) Ko-Ko (from Charlie Parker: The Complete Savoy and Dial Master Takes) Bird Gets the Worm (from Charlie Parker: The Complete Savoy and Dial Master Takes) Move (from Miles Davis: The Complete Birth of the Cool) Cherokee (from Jazz at Massey Hall) Cou Manchi-Cou (from Max Roach Quartet, featuring Hank Mobley) Maximum (from In the Beginning) Daahoud (from Clifford Brown and Max Roach) Sandu (from Study in Brown) Take the A Train (from Study in Brown) Fleurette Africain (from Money Jungle) Driva'man (from We Insist!

Welcome back to When Words Fail Music Streaks, the podcast where we battle depression with the transformative power of music. I'm your host, James Cox—your “handicapped” guide through the stories that keep us moving when life gets heavy.In today's episode we sit down with award‑winning writer, filmmaker, playwright, and cultural documentarian Alan Govnar (who kindly corrects us on the title of his newest novel, Come Round Right). Alan's career spans more than three decades of preserving the music of everyday people: from his landmark 1984 Living Texas Blues project for the Dallas Museum of Art, to an intimate portrait of blues scene in Deepum, to his groundbreaking documentaries that put disability‑rights narratives front‑and‑center.We'll explore hotly debated questions like: Where did the blues really begin? — Texas, the Mississippi Delta, or Memphis? — and hear Alan's compelling argument that blues emerged from the African diaspora and found early written references in Texas.Beyond blues, Alan reveals how his personal hearing of Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, and New Orleans R&B as a four‑year‑old sparked a lifelong quest to document music that speaks to the soul, no matter how “un‑virtuosic” it may seem. His stories range from a hunchback dwarf tattoo artist in a wheelchair to the polio‑stricken African drummer Siddiqui Conde, whose student Aaron Phillips (now a trans Vogue cover model) turned a Tumblr following into the inspiring memoir This Kid Can Fly.We'll also get a sneak peek at Alan's newest feature, Quiet Voices in a Noisy World: The Struggle for Change in Jasper, Texas, premiering at Cinema Village in New York this November—a powerful look at a community healing from the trauma of a 1998 lynching.If you're a fan of music history, social justice, or simply crave stories that turn hardship into hope stay tuned. Grab your headphones, let the rhythm lift you, and get ready for a conversation that proves music can indeed speak louder than depression.

Ravi Coltrane with Marcus MillerMarcus Miller interviews Ravi Coltrane about his musical evolution and the dual legacy of his parents, Alice and John Coltrane. This insightful and candid talk, recorded live on the Journey of Jazz cruise, covers the challenges of growing up under the shadow of a jazz icon and finding one's own voice through the music.Key TakeawaysThe episode is a conversation between host Marcus Miller and guest Ravi Coltrane, focusing on Ravi's development as a jazz saxophonist.Ravi's father, John Coltrane, passed away in 1967 when Ravi was 2 years old, leaving Ravi to be raised by his mother, Alice Coltrane. Ravi notes that his father's instruments are currently in his stateroom.Ravi began his musical journey playing the clarinet throughout junior high and high school. He switched to the soprano saxophone at age 16 after his mother gave it to him for his birthday as a hint, later moving to the tenor saxophone.Ravi did not initially feel pressure from his famous last name because, during the 1970s in the San Fernando Valley where he grew up, John Coltrane was still considered "underground" or "counter culture".The death of Ravi's older brother, John Jr., in an automobile accident when Ravi was 17, caused a "void" that Ravi later filled by studying his father's music. Ravi began listening to his father's records to gain answers for questions asked at parties, and through this, the music "hit" him.Ravi worked with key members of the John Coltrane Quartet, including joining drummer Elvin Jones's band in 1991 (though he felt he was "prematurely" ready) and later working with pianist McCoy Tyner in the 2000s.Ravi and Marcus discuss the meaning of being "ready" to perform at a high level, noting that it means being "prepared to do the job properly" and recognizing that evolution and learning are continuous processes.Host and Guest InfoHost: Lee Mergner (introduction), Marcus Miller (interview).Guest: Ravi Coltrane.This talk was recorded during the Journey of Jazz cruise. Marcus Miller provided the theme music, which is a clip from his song "High Life" on his album Aphrodesia on Blue Note.The talk was captured by Brian Ratchkco and his production team.Send us a text

Saxophonist Phil Woods (born November 2, 1931) was much more than just another alto saxophonist who followed in the footsteps of the great Charlie Parker. Throughout his career, he carved his own path, continuing to develop his own voice on the instrument, as well as his voice as a prolific composer. He delved into the avant-guarde with his group 'The European Rhythm Machine' for several years when he chose to become an expatriate. But shortly after his return to the United States in 1972, he formed the straight ahead group he was to lead until shortly before his death ten years ago. Through multiple changes in personnel, his bassist, Steve Gilmore and his drummer, Bill Goodwin stayed with him the entire time. 

www.patreon.com/dopeypodcast This week on Dopey! Dave opens the episode feeling sick, dreading his upcoming dental implants, and joking about painkillers, nitrous, and Tylenol PM. He congratulates longtime dopes Margaret Hernandez (36 years sober) and Mattie Veach (recovering from cancer surgery), prays for the Knicks, and introduces guest RJ Elizarraz, co-host of Against All Odds with Rachel Slocum and founder of Oak Forest Recovery.Before diving in, Dave reads Spotify comments from the Brace Belden episode — about therapy, high memories, Suboxone, and more — gives shoutouts to listeners, and pushes the legendary Dopey socks. He jokes about how each platform reacts differently: Patreon loves him, Reddit hates him, Facebook doesn't care.He plays an old Miles Davis clip about Charlie Parker doing drugs and sex in a taxi while eating fried chicken, and finds the recovery moral in it — acceptance is the key. A listener named Nathan from San Francisco sends a disgusting classic: at 12 he cooked and ate his own poop hoping it would make DMT. It didn't. He puked, got bullied, overdosed, and finally got sober. Dave laughs, calls it top-notch Dopey storytelling, and awards him socks. Then comes the main interview with RJ Elizares. They record in RJ's Westlake Village home — complete with an infrared sauna, cold plunge, and jade crystal massage bed. RJ also runs a marketing agency for medical clients and has a 13-year-old daughter.RJ tells his story:Grew up in Westlake, straight-edge nerd playing video games and paintball.Swore he'd never do drugs, then caved at 15 after a best-friend betrayal.Smoked weed with his stepbrother, laughed hysterically at Maury Povich, devoured frozen peas, and instantly became “the stoner.”Started selling weed and stealing paintball gear; pulled off a heist from an optometrist's back-room store until his stepbrother turned him in for the reward.Skipped school, bribed attendance clerks with weed, got caught high at a parent meeting, expelled.At continuation school, excelled while high, manipulated teachers, and got expelled again for lying.Ran away on a dirt bike, sold weed full-time, then transferred to another continuation school where a rival stabbed him in the arm with a pencil for “selling on his turf.”Graduated early by testing out, kept selling, moved out, and lived off weed money.With his girlfriend (later the mother of his daughter) did ecstasy, coke, Xanax, mushrooms, pills — everything but heroin.She overdosed on ecstasy and stopped breathing before being revived — a turning point moment. 

Dave opens this Tuesday Dopey Patreon teaser by reflecting on feeling burnt out, upcoming dental implant surgery, and the need to slow down. He jokes about “cultivating illness” to get rest and shares his current obsession with the Martin Scorsese documentary series Mr. Scorsese, hoping listeners will “pray and manifest” Scorsese appearing on Dopey. He talks about Scorsese's film legacy, calling Goodfellas untouchable.Dave reads a Spotify comment from Emma about a pork ad and debates if it's anti-Semitic, then begins a new segment reading from Miles Davis's autobiography — a vivid story about Charlie Parker pawning Miles's belongings for heroin.Next, longtime Dopey Nation member Selby calls in with a story about getting through TSA with weed gummies and ends with “stay strong, Dopey Nation, and fucking toodles for Chris.” Dave laughs about TSA searches, harmonicas being mistaken for weapons, and promises either to play harmonica on the road or stop traveling with it.The teaser transitions into the Patreon preview with Ray Brown and Dave's dad, where a discussion about politics erupts — his dad talks about kindness, empathy, immigration, and frustration with leadership. Dave tries to steer it back but ends up apologizing for the tangent. The teaser closes with Dave's song “I Wanna Be Good So Bad,” a raw, humorous original with lyrics about bad desire, frustration, calling his dad, and seeking peace and love.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Like many hip youngsters of my generation, at some point in my twenties I got Jazz-pilled by Beat literature, with writers like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg name-dropping bop-era musicians like Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and many more, sending me to Limewire to download mp3s of 1950s and 1960s Jazz. In recent years, my casual appreciation has turned into a more intense investigation of music history and practice, particularly after discovering “The Grape,” a Jazz club in my neighborhood that's overflowing with colorful characters and musical adventure. My guest today is one of those characters: Monte Montgomery is a multi-instrumentalist, former touring funk guitarist, and all around hip music dude. In this conversation, he shares highlights from his decades in music, from playing funk with a group of Black GIs on a military base in Germany at the age of 17, to entertaining celebrities and insanely rich people on the Beverly Hills philanthropic event circuit, to his current gig holding court on piano, guitar, and drums every Tuesday night at The Grape.

Welcome back to The Ripple Effect Podcast! I'm so glad you're here for this solo episode. Think of it like we're sitting down over coffee, swapping stories about life, relationships, creativity, and yes, even some of the messy stuff we all go through. This episode will be a Q&A session, where I will answer some questions posed to me by Ripplers. Lately, I've been diving into some fantastic books. I'm making my way through Ryan Holiday's books, and I've been taking notes like crazy from Play Bigger. It's such a powerful read on category design, becoming a market leader, and finding your unique value proposition. On the music side, my heart is full, thanks to Bruce Springsteen's Lost Tracks Box set (unreleased songs that are pure magic!), and I've fallen down the rabbit hole with Charlie Parker's jazz albums. I've been loving podcasts like The Tim Ferriss Show, Clear + Vivid by Alan Alda, and Founders. But this episode isn't just about books and music. I'll let you in on my life as a caregiver for my 90-year-old dad, and how I've been handling the stress that comes with it. Spoiler: it hasn't been easy. But leaning into creativity has made all the difference. In particular, journaling, writing on my vintage typewriter, block printing, woodworking, and even baseball card collecting have brought me peace, joy, and a sense of fun. More than anything, this conversation is about finding ways to build authentic relationships, work through stress as an entrepreneur, and lean on faith when life feels uncertain. It's about discovering those small things that create positive Ripples for yourself and the people around you.

With seven decades in film and television, Clint Eastwood is undeniably a Hollywood institution. Emerging first as a star in Westerns, then as the embattled cop in the Dirty Harry films, the ninety-five-year-old filmmaker has directed forty features and appeared in more than sixty. The film critic Richard Brody just reviewed a new biography of Eastwood. “What fascinated me above all are the origins of Clint Eastwood-ness—the way he had an aura that preceded him before his career in movies.”  Brody joins David Remnick to pick three of the films that set Eastwood apart as an artist: “Play Misty for Me,” his 1971 directorial début; “Bird,” his bio-pic about Charlie Parker; and “Sully,” starring Tom Hanks as the heroic pilot Chesley Sullenberger.
