Im Hotel Cap Polonio in Pinneberg feierte der Däne Christopher Norton Anfang Oktober 2023 seine gelungene Premiere beim 37. Schleswig-Holstein Gourmet Festival. Der Küchenchef und Mitinhaber vom Restaurant Domestic in Aarhus an der Ostsee ist Verfechter eines minimalistischen Stils mit ausschließlich saisonalen Produkten aus seiner Heimat. Mit dem Zug brachte der 37-Jährige z.B. Strandkohl, Kaisergranat, Austern, Fichtensprossen und Waldpilze für das 5-Gänge-Menü mit. Die Festivalgäste waren von seinen auf das Hauptprodukt fokussierten Speisen begeistert. 2017 wurde seine Küche erstmals mit einem Michelin-Stern ausgezeichnet, 2020 kam noch ein grüner für Nachhaltigkeit hinzu. Mit Herzblut berichtet Christoffer Norton in der 63. Podcast-Folge, wie er seinen Platz in der Küche gefunden hat, warum er keine Produkte aus dem Ausland wie z.B. Vanille oder Pfeffer benötigt und warum Koriander seine Achillesferse ist. Der Vater von Zwillingen hat es vom Tellerwäscher zum Sternekoch geschafft - doch Norton bleibt bescheiden, lernt täglich dazu und probiert viel aus, wohin derzeit auch die skandinavische Küche tendiert.

A must-listen review (with music audio clips) of 3 books of jazz piano sheet music from Nikki Iles & Friends published by ABRSM covering from initial grade up to grade 8 and beyond. A detailed look at highlights and 'weak' pieces with audio clips from each book starts at 36:30 A brief bulletpoint summary of my review: 3 books: Book 1- Intermediate (Grades 4-6) Book 2- Intermediate to Advanced (Grades 6-8) Easy to Intermediate (Grades initial-3) Writing/ arranging in a jazz style for students at levels below grade 8 is a challenging & specialised skill. Nikki Iles is especially good at this for students at the intermediate-advanced level (grades 5-8) IMO Nikki is not quite so stunning (including her friends!) at the easier end, which is where people like Christopher Norton shine. Because of the challenge & specialised skill of arranging jazz for beginners, Nikki's friends' contributions work much better in the advanced book In Books 1 & 2 (grades 4-8)- fantastic idea to have curated pieces from other jazz composers- Nikki always very good at pastiches (which is great for pedagogical pieces), but this means sometimes it's difficult to hear her ‘voice' and identity as a composer/arranger- so it's nice to hear pieces from performers such as Zoe Rahman where you can really hear her unique voice. The idea to curate proper jazz composers is a good way to avoid just having a load of pedagogical pay-cheque jazz/blues cliches which is all too common in the higher ABRSM grades when including jazz list C pieces Almost all the pieces are a bit too short for my taste!! But maybe useful as brief enjoyable diversions for ‘serious' students rather than performance pieces Some of the marketing for these books say they're a great source for alternative 4th choice grade pieces for the performance exams- if so it would have been so useful to actually say what grades these pieces would be categorised as (apart from the ones actually in the alternative lists) Not fan of CD format in books 1 & 2- can be a lot of hassle to find a CD player after years of not using CDs! Nice idea to have downloadable mp3s for the Easy to Intermediate book, but in reality can be unnecessarily tricky & frustrating to download from the ABRSM website. A lot of articulations, dynamics, rhythms & other markings very different in the recorded versions to what's on the page A huge amount of misprints- I'll list the ones I've spotted below the main part of this review. ABRSM are very bad at updating misprints on their website Not a fan of the editing- especially in Book 2. Again, I'll list some of these below Some strange rhythmic notations that I would notate differently Lots of bad enharmonic spellings- presumably to make music easier to read, but has opposite effect with wrongly spelled harmonies Inconsistent use of courtesy accidentals that make it harder to read Unclear on differences between accents & tenutos- I don't hear a difference in recordings. And actually tenutos are frequently played slightly ahead of the beat which is the opposite of what I would normally do with them   Easy to Intermediate (22 pieces): feels very ‘pedagogical ABRSM'- ie often a bit uninspired & stodgy. A lot of emphasis on ‘world music'- ie African, Scottish, Caribbean, Yiddish folk song. Is this to hit some kind of GCSE tickbox? Feels like we're being hit over the head with ‘educational' material So much of this book is just clearly not jazz, so not what the book is promising Would much rather these were all Nikki's compositions or arrangements Book 1- Intermediate (16 pieces): some criticisms but on the whole difficult to really dislike the book, top recommendation, useful for all teachers and anybody interested in jazz at this level Book 2- Intermediate to Advanced (13 pieces- 10 of which are in my list of highlights!): very strong collection, a winner! I would absolutely buy this & recommend- but a hu...

Can ABRSM bounce back from their last syllabus I was highly critical of? Listen to this episode for a comprehensive review of the new set of books, including audio clips of many of the new pieces. I also discuss some of the recent controversial issues regarding their operational and business challenges A brief bulletpoint summary of my review: Blown away, superb selection of pieces this time around Good balance between pedagogical rigour, and being fun to play Interesting creative & diverse choice of pieces However, there is the wider issue of current levels of trust in ABRSM's operations & standards Listen to the episode for a breakdown of each grade with audio clips (starts at 42:52) Improvements from last syllabus: A return to form- less feeling of pieces being made easier & dumbing down this time round. Rigorous standard on the whole (but benchmarking a little wide for my taste with a few much easier options as well as challenging & ambitious pieces in each grade) Excellent representation of BIPOC & women. Many non-white and women composers featured in the books themselves this time as well as in the alternative lists. Not virtue-signalling- but normalising Very welcome to see more authentic jazz at the higher grades rather than just the usual Christopher Norton et al Much improved engraving with no issues for me this time around Teaching notes book much better this time- more authoritative & trustworthy with their opinions Audio digital downloads excellent on the whole Even bigger choice of alternative pieces Criticisms of the syllabus: Grade 8 book still has only 9 pieces like the last syllabus I've never been a fan of ABRSM fingerings I've never liked ABRSM ornamentation suggestions at the higher grades All the alternative pieces from the last syllabus are still exactly the same here in the new syllabus- but this may be positive for teachers who don't need to go out & buy a whole load of new books! List A/B/C changed in last syllabus for the worse- no change this year. Differences between categories now so blurred I don't understand the point Notes: My previous review of the ABRSM Piano Syllabus 2021-2022: https://heartofthepiano.com/e17-why-im-moving-my-students-from-abrsm-to-trinity-reviews-of-their-new-2021-piano-syllabuses/ I've made performance videos of some of the pieces here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0sZ0MK31wvICriKIqjYfMEGtTpQgK2bw with tutorial videos here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0sZ0MK31wvL51bH1Wvk_UbYNnu5zg4Sy Just one of the many social media posts to do with the online booking problems at the beginning of May 2022: https://www.facebook.com/abrsmmusic/posts/10159802952370210 The leaked internal email from ABRSM examiners to the chief executive: https://slippedisc.com/2022/05/examiners-declare-no-confidence-in-abrsm-systems An update on the situation at ABRSM after the leaked email: https://slippedisc.com/2022/05/chaos-keeps-on-spreading-at-abrsm/ Financial details for ABRSM 2020-2021: https://register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.uk/charity-search/-/charity-details/292182 About the on-demand Performance Grade exams: https://gb.abrsm.org/en/about-us/news/articles/?abrsm[newsId]=93074 The YouTube video with a performance of J.

We later talk about the need for studio teachers to stay relevant, and how recent research can shed light on modern tactics for motivating students to practice. This engaging conversation also touches on the creation and success of American Popular Piano, (featuring music composed by Christopher Norton) which Dr. Smith edited.
