Just a quick note to let you know that, besides today's episode of the podcast dropping, we're getting really close to being able to announce the London clinic with myself and Ian Martin Allison on June 1st.In today's episode, I take a crack at sharing my latest harmonic curiosity: Neo-Riemannian Triadic Theory. It's a bit of a mouthful for something that's essentially just major and minor triads—in all their inversions—and how you can connect them using (amongst others) relative, parallel, and leading-tone transformations.It's fascinating, kind of nerdy, but surprisingly good for your bass playing!You don't ever have to actually play the ideas as chords on the bass—but the information you're armed with, having studied the concept, gives you so many more options when it comes to note-choice and supporting the musicians around you in the band.More soon!Janek Get full access to Janek's Newsletter at janekgwizdala.substack.com/subscribe

Does it get any better than that ARP bass line on “Chameleon”? That's right, it's Herbie time! Join Peter and Adam as we explore Herbie Hancock's explosive breakout from Blue Note jazz man to platinum-selling Headhunter. Transport your ears to an afro-futuristic daydream as we dissect Herbie's funk-jazz era – and the cast of characters that helped push jazz records back onto the Pop charts. You'll hear stem breakdowns of Paul Jackson's brilliant bass grooves, the magic of Mike Clark's “Oakland sound” drums, and, of course, much geeking out over Herbie's mind-bending synth and electric keyboard experiments (excuse our stank-faces). From Fat Albert Rotunda (1969) through the slept-on Sunlight (1978), we ask: is this Herbie at his greatest?

Tune in as we pay tribute to the incomparable Roberta Flack, who we sadly lost last month. From her 1969 debut album First Take (featuring Open Studio artist Ron Carter on bass) to her iconic collaborations with Donny Hathaway – we dissect why what Flack didn't play was just as important as what she did. We'll explore how this classical piano prodigy, who entered Howard at 15 and didn't write her own songs, became the Quiet Storm Queen that influenced every soul, R&B, and jazz singer since. You'll hear why her understated yet commanding vocals and that classic 70s kick drum made “Killing Me Softly” a hit, grooving duets like “You've Got A Friend,” and deep cuts that redefined ballads. Join us to uncover the genius of Roberta Flack.
On this week's episode we hear original songs by Spiralmouth Three 5 and 6 The Blenders
It's Daylight Savings and we are alternately miserable and happy about it. Which is a good reflection of the books we've read this week. We love them and not! Here's what's on the agenda: - "Wild Dark Shore," by Charlotte McConaghy — if you like one of her books, you're going to like this one. Hannah's a big fan. Nevermind the sleeping with the seals. - "A Thousand Splendid Suns," by Khaled Hosseini — also, like "The Kite Runner," not a memoir. Sam was confused. Kinda miserable. Hope the U.S. doesn't wind up like this. - "Lion," by Sonya Walger — she's "Penny" from "Lost," and here she is with an autobiographical novel. The lion in question is her father, who's a crazy rich guy. - "How To Lose Your Mother," by Molly Jong-Fast — did everyone else know that Erica Jong was Molly's mom? Read this, regardless, because Molly can write like hell. - "I Heard There Was a Secret Chord," by Daniel Levitin — an exploration of music therapy and why it works. Sam was already a convert, but you should read it if you're not. - "Parable of the Sower," by Octavia Butler — after some confusion with how this dovetails with the Patternist novels (it doesn't), we come around to discussion why this novel is must-read.

In this insightful episode of Handful of Leaves, we held a conversation with Brother Duc Pho - a monastic from Plum Village - to explore the powerful connection between music and mindfulness. Discover how music can enhance meditation, help transform suffering, and cultivate a more joyful, present life. Brother Duc Pho also shares personal stories, practical tips, and reflections on balancing silence with song, making this episode a harmonious blend of wisdom and melody. There's an error in the subtitles: It should be European Institute of Applied Buddhism, not the European Institute of Applied Music. #MindfulMusic #TransformWithMindfulness #JoyfulPractice About the Speaker Brother Đức Phổ (徳普), born in the Netherlands in 1985, first got in contact with Buddhism while traveling in South-East Asia. Later he found a practical and applied form of Buddhism in Plum Village France and has been practicing and building sangha as a lay practitioner in this tradition since 2010 and continues to do so since being ordained as a monastic under Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh in 2016. He currently practices with the monastic sangha of Thai Plum Village International Meditation Practice Center in Pak Chong, Thailand. Brother Duc Pho enjoys sitting meditation and slow walking outside in nature, drinking tea in mindfulness, playing music and offering his presence as an authentic human being and practitioner with people of all ages including young people and children.

Welcome to episode #963 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. Daniel J. Levitin is a polymath whose career defies categorization - a neuroscientist, musician, and New York Times bestselling author, he seamlessly blends the scientific with the soulful. As a professor and researcher, his work has illuminated the deep connections between music, the brain, health, and creativity, with his insights gracing publications from Nature and Science to Rolling Stone and The Atlantic. Dan has not only revolutionized how we think about music through seminal works like This Is Your Brain On Music but also through his consultations with tech giants like Apple and Microsoft and his collaborations with legendary musicians like Joni Mitchell and Sting. In our conversation, Dan shares insights from his latest book, I Heard There Was a Secret Chord - Music As Medicine, a fascinating exploration of music's unique ability to heal and connect us. We discussed everything from the evolutionary roots of music to its capacity to transform physical and emotional health. He explained the brain's innate response to rhythm and melody, unpacking why music compels us to move and how it serves as one of humanity's oldest forms of therapy. The dialogue also touched on the neuroscience of creativity, the serendipity of success in the music industry (and business), and the evolving role of music in the streaming age. His work reminds us that music isn't just entertainment - it's a vital force that shapes who we are and how we connect with the world. If you've ever wondered why a particular song brings you to tears or makes you tap your foot uncontrollably, this episode will resonate deeply. Enjoy the conversation... Running time: 1:08:01.

Send Steve a Text MessageHey everyone, Steve Stine here from GuitarZoom, and welcome to the Steve Stine Guitar Podcast!

I'll walk you through how to create dynamic and intriguing musical passages by using descending bass lines with different chords. We'll explore various chord transitions and how they can open up a world of creative possibilities in your playing.But that's not all—I'll also share my personal tips on how you can find inspiration by experimenting with new guitar tones and effects settings, even from affordable plugins. You'll hear how I use these tones to fuel my songwriting process and why it's important to break out of your usual setup to spark new ideas.We'll get hands-on with some examples, including the classic sounds of Led Zeppelin's "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You," and I'll show you step-by-step how to maintain consistency in your chord structures while exploring new bass transitions. Whether you're adjusting to different fingerings or keeping the creative flow without worrying too much about technicalities, this episode is packed with actionable insights.So grab your guitar, sit back, and let's get creative!
