This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, band leader and recording artist James Davison, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "James Davison Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- James Davison had a misconception that trumpeters should only have one mouthpiece, that any professional should be able to do everything with only one, and if you used more you were "cheating." It was Chris Deacon in fact who finally asked him one day, in a moment of struggle, " Why don't you just try a slightly narrower mouthpiece?" From there, a whole new world opened up. Jim was already well on a path to building a career in music, having become enraptured by the trumpet and cornet as a child, playing Dixieland jazz with his father and learning to play by ear, and then studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. But sometimes, we just need a little kick, a new perspective from an outside source, to shift our understanding and mindset. Since that crossroads, Jim has gone on to become a regular player in the British music scene, from musicals and big bands to studio sessions film soundtracks. Earlier this year, Jim released his long-awaited trumpet & bass collaboration with Misha Mullov-Abbado, "Moon Beans," a mix of original compositions and collaborative arrangements. And he features on Callum Au's ambitious new recording of original music, "Sing Seven Seas." "If you sing down the horn and you make people smile, and there's a connection for the audience with your playing, then I think that's the only thing that really matters." - James Davison In fact, Callum Au is also this month's feature interview on The Trombone Corner podcast, so after you've heard Jim's story, head over to the Corner and hear from Callum as well! About James Davison: James Davison is a freelance Trumpet and Flugelhorn player in high-demand in London's Classical and Jazz scenes.  Having graduated from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (2014) and the Royal Academy of Music (2016), James is often found playing in Big Bands such as the BBC Big Band, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra, the Callum Au Big Band, the Kings Place Jazz Orchestra, the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, the Danish Radio Big Band, Pete Long's Echoes of Ellington, the Jakob Helling Concert Big Band and the Patchwork Jazz Orchestra.  James also works regularly in London's iconic recording studios, including Abbey Road, Angel Studios and Air Studios, for Pop, TV and Film sessions.  As well as being a side-man in bands such as the Mark Nightingale & Alan Barnes Sextet and the Misha Mullov-Abbado Group, James is also a bandleader in his own right co-leading groups with both the saxophone and clarinetist Duncan Hemstock, as well as the Grammy-nominated arranger and trombone player Callum Au in their band "Quintet-a-tete", alongside his own quartet.  James' classical and orchestral career highlights include performances with the London Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Concert Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia, the Halle, English National Opera, John Wilson's Sinfonia of London and he is also a member of the world renowned brass ensemble London Brass, which he joined in 2024.  Episode Links: Moon Beans, the album https://mishamullov-abbado.bandcamp.com/album/moon-beans  Sing Seven Seas, Callum Au https://callumaumusic.com/s7s/  Swipe Right! from Sing Seven Seas by Callum Au https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZycetABQze0  The London Brass https://www.londonbrass.net/styled/page-5/  Instagram https://www.instagram.com/jimjimdavison/  Bob Reeves Brass Events and Appearances: Joy Brass, September 17-24, Tokyo Japan http://joybrass.com email to sign up: tp@joybrass.co.jp Virtuosity Music, October 9-10, Boston, MA Greg Black Mouthpieces, November 6-7, Mount Holly, NC NCMEA Conference, November 8-9, Winston-Salem, NC Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Photo Credits - Guido Baroncelli & James Davison Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

Arabic culture and literature hold a vastly rich classical history that continues to captivate scholars and readers worldwide. Renowned literary critic and Columbia University professor, Dr. Muhsin Al-Musawi, explores the depths of this heritage, from the global allure of the Arabian Nights to the historical dynamic of Baghdad's intellectual hubs. The discussion delves into how translation served as a window between cultures, the contested notion of an age of decay, and the brilliant prose of modern artists like Jabra Ibrahim Jabra. Reflecting on his own career of writing out of love and devotion rather than mere scholarship, Dr. Al-Musawi critiques how literary prizes can drive trendy imitation instead of a genuinely creative mind.   00:00 Introduction 01:57 The Roots of Passionate Scholarship 05:19 Baghdad's Layered Intellectual Landscapes 09:51 Cultural Solace & the Ambition of Translation 12:26 Confronting the Global Legacy of the Arabian Nights 14:55 Literary Taste & the Metamorphosis of Translation 19:40 The Romantic Search for Spaces Without Borders 26:27 The Vastness of Classical Traditions & the True Renaissance 28:53 Intellectual Intersections & the Republic of Letters 33:15 Challenging the Conventional Notion of an Age of Decay 39:45 Jabra Ibrahim Jabra & the Topography of an Artist 44:58 Curating a Diverse Core Arabic Fiction Curriculum 49:33 Trendy Prizes & the Necessity of the Creative Mind   Muhsin Jassim al-Musawi is Professor of Classical and Modern Arabic Literature, Comparative and Cultural Studies at Columbia University. A renowned scholar and literary critic, his teaching and research interests span several periods and genres. He is the author of 39 books (including 6 novels) and over 60 scholarly articles. He has been editor of the Journal of Arabic Literature since 2000. His publications cover theory, postcolonial discourse, the Arabic novel, poetry, Orientalism, the Arabian Nights, medieval Islamic knowledge and modern Arabic poetics. He taught for over two decades at universities in the Arab world before moving to Columbia University.

This episode announces the release of the new re-mixed and re-mastered “Ma Petite Fleur String Quartet”. The new recording has been released on St7dio - Classical, the boutique classical label owned by multiple Grammy® winner Kitt Wakeley and which is run by Allison Charney. Allison is a Grammy® nominated opera singer in her own right, and a recent guest on the podcast. Here's the back story. In 2012 I wrote and recorded a jazz ballad that I called “Ma Petite Fleur” (my little flower). My ballad was an instrumental love song that I wrote for my wife. In 2025 I got the idea to transform this song into a classical string quartet piece. The new work was arranged by David Shenton and performed by a superstar quartet consisting of Katie Thomas on violin 1, Erica Dicker on violin 2, JJ Johnson on viola, and Dave Eggar on cello. The recording was praised by a host of world class classical artists, and it quickly accumulated nearly a half million views on YouTube. In June 2026 I was introduced to Allison Charney as a guest on the podcast. Allison heard my string quartet piece and said she wanted to re-release it on her label, St7dio - Classical, in a new, re-mixed and re-mastered form including in Dolby Atmos, the latest audio technology.  The new version of “Ma Petite Fleur String Quartet” has just been released by St7dio - Classical.

This one's a ripper, legends. I sat down with Dr. MG McCullough, a classical acupuncturist who trained under Anne Cecil Sturman in the Jeffrey Yuen lineage, and we went deep - like, Jenga-block-pulled-from-the-middle deep - on what modern acupuncture school actually leaves out. MG's whole thing is that we didn't just simplify Chinese medicine when it got exported West, we pulled the center block out of the tower. The primaries got taught, the channels, sinews, luo vessels, divergences and eight extraordinaries got filed under "extra," and now most acupuncturists are running triage clinics instead of practicing the full system. We get into why that matters, why it's not anyone's fault, what it'd take to rebuild the whole thing from the ground up, and where MG's taking her own practice next. What We Get Into The Jenga analogy - how acupuncture education pulled the center block (the classical framework) and left everyone thinking they had the full foundation when they didn't Why the "secondary" channels - sinews, luo vessels, divergences, eight extraordinaries - aren't extra at all, they're there to protect the primaries, and skipping them is the whole problem The barefoot doctor origin story, self-colonization of TCM in the '50s, and why triage-model training became the default for an entire profession The Santa Claus story - MG's honest reckoning with believing "the system" works the way she was taught, and what it took to let that go Why 20% of US acupuncture schools have closed since 2020, and whether that's a crisis or an opening to rebuild the whole model "It's not magic, it's just medicine" - why full-system results look magical when they're actually just complete The starfish story - high-volume triage practice vs. slower, deeper healing work, and why both have a place The retreat model MG's brainstorming - five-day intensives built for real neuroplastic change, so people go home actually different, not just patched up for an hour Full circle on the barefoot doctor thread - what home visits taught MG about how nothing in someone's life stays hidden once a doctor actually shows up "Are you a stress denier?" - why "everything's fine" is often the biggest red flag in the room Guest Bio Dr. MG McCullough is a classical acupuncturist who trained under Anne Cecil Sturman - a teacher in Jeffrey Yuen's lineage who's been on the SuperFeast podcast before, so go dig up those episodes if this one hits. MG's outspoken about the structural gap she sees in acupuncture education, and she's in the middle of a big life transition - moving to the south of France, just north of Montpellier - as she reshapes her practice toward teaching and retreat-style intensives. She also hosts her own show, The Original Medicine Podcast.

A diagnosis can feel like a single label, but some conditions reveal a wider terrain — one that spans immune response, cultural rhythm, and slow imbalance over time.In this conversation with Brendan Kelly, we explore long COVID through the lens of classical Chinese medicine, looking at how frameworks like the Shang Han Lun's cold-to-heat progression and the Wen Bing's epidemic theory make sense of a condition with over two hundred possible symptoms. We discuss treatment not as a single formula, but as traditions blended and matched to where a disease has been and where it's heading.We also touch on why epidemics are never purely individual, and how a culture's own excess heat may shape its susceptibility to illness.Listen in for a conversation that brings clinical experience and classical theory to a condition modern medicine still struggles to treat.

In this presentation, Ayşe Uzun traces how the term ghulāt functioned in Sunni tafsīr — originally a broad marker of "excessiveness" applied well beyond Shi'ism, before narrowing and intensifying in 20th-century works like Tafsīr al-Manār. She shows how this shift reflects changing sectarian, political, and ethical concerns rather than a purely doctrinal one.

Composer of Pluribus, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, El Camino In this episode, Tony chats with Dave Porter, the award‑winning composer behind the sonic identity of Pluribus. Known for his long‑standing creative partnership with Vince Gilligan — beginning with Breaking Bad and continuing across multiple series — Porter brings a rare combination of classical training, electronic innovation, and narrative instinct to every project he touches. This conversation explores how Porter shaped the sound of Pluribus, from the unexpected use of vocals in the main theme to the way he threads vocal textures throughout the score. He breaks down how his classical foundation led him to electronic music, how experimentation became a core part of his process, and why one of his standout pieces draws inspiration from 1970s cinematic style. Tony also asks the question only Pluribus fans would dare: If Dave were absorbed into the collective, how would it change his music? His answer is as thoughtful as it is surprising.

Episode 400 of RevolutionZ assesses Classical Marxism are a conceptual framework for guiding political activism. A revolutionary theory can feel powerful precisely because it is big, elegant, and confident. The problem is, big and elegant or not, what does the theory help with or hinder when you try to use it on Monday morning. This episode takes a hard look at classical Marxism as a practical guide for organizers, and lays out why its standard “core toolbox” often misses, inadequately understands, or even denies many things that actually drive people: racism, sexism, authority, fear, dignity, identity, the everyday pressures that shape consciousness and behavior, and even the dynamics of class relations and class struggle. The episode walks through nine specific weaknesses that many Sixties New Leftists felt as the Seventies unfoded, from abstractions that work better on decades than on daily movement decisions, to thin accounts of organizational dynamics, bureaucracy, violence, and severe discipline. We  dig into how classical dialectics over-focuses on one dominant contradiction and trains attention away from smaller-scale relations and the stubborn persistence of stability. If you've ever watched a movement mechanically repeat worn out arguments, rhetorically polarize, and turn theory into a loyalty test, we seek the conceptual foundations that make or at the least permit that to happen. The episode then turns to human nature and psychology and argues that you can't build effective revolutionary strategy without a usable theory of consciousness formation, motivation, and subjectivity. Claims that “material interest automatically produces revolutionary consciousness” is a dangerous over-simplified shortcut that misses why that often doesn't happen much less why sometimes the reverse occurs so that, for example, workers become reactionary or blind to attacks on their own interests. We discuss as well modern reactionary politics, confirmation bias, and the question that won't go away: What kind of updated left political theory can be both complex enough to be true and clear and concise enough to be usable by real people in real world time conflicted and crisis-moved situations? Please, if you disagree with what this episode--and the past few--present, please leave a critical comment, or write a rebuttal, or at least send me an email. Am I mired in a flawed past, or is advocacy of Marxism Leninism mired in a flawed past? For that matter, what would you put in a modern organizing toolbox that classical Marxist's leave out of theirs? Would your inclusions prevent or propel familiar Leninist and Bolshevik tendencies? Support the show

In this episode, the first of a trilogy, we talked about John Summerson's best-selling 1965 book 'The Classical Language of Architecture', developed out of a series of lectures he gave to the BBC. We talk about Summerson, one of the titans of mid-20th century British architectural history, his attitude towards classicism and his patrician tone. In the next two episodes we will be discussing Bruno Zevi's 'The Modern Language of Architecture' (1978) and Charles Jencks's 'The Language of Post-Modern Architecture' (1977), which were both partly inspired by Summerson's rhetorical assertion of the linguistic character of classical architecture.

Conductor Alexander Briger has led orchestras all over the world. But his niche occupation is not the only fascinating thing about him. Alex's family history is wild.Alexander Briger has stood in front of musicians all over the world, summoning a gigantic, beautiful noise from them.Classical music was a huge part of Alex's story growing up.He is the nephew of the famous conductor, the late Sir Charles Mackerras; and descended from the so-called "father of Australian music", Isaac Nathan.Another branch of Alex's family tree astonishingly connects him to the man who murdered Rasputin.Rasputin was a Russian peasant and mystic, whose abilities as a faith healer drew him into the inner circle of the Russian Tzars.Fearing his destructive grip on the monarchy, a posse of aristocrats led by Alex's ancestor, Prince Felix Yusupov, drew Rasputin into a trap, luring him to his death in a Saint Petersburg basement in 1916.In recent years, Alex was invited to Russia to conduct a modern opera, coincidentally called and about Rasputin, in a full circle moment.Alex is back in Australia right now as the chief conductor and artistic director of the Australian World Orchestra, the only ensemble of its kind in the world.The Australian World Orchestra is playing in Melbourne on 19 August and in Sydney on 20 August. You can find out more about the orchestra and its performances online.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey has finally arrived—and the Classical Et Cetera team went to see it together! In this episode, we discuss our reactions to Nolan's adaptation of Homer's epic poem and ask the big questions: Can a modern film capture the spirit of an ancient hero? Was it a faithful adaptation, or a great film that tells a very different story? What do we gain and lose when a classical work is reimagined for a modern audience?   Purchase our _Odyssey_ Complete Set right here! https://www.memoriapress.com/curriculum/classical-studies/odyssey-set/231   *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  "The Great Divorce" C.S.

In this episode of The Christopher Perrin Show, Christopher Perrin welcomes John Mays to tell the story of his vocation as a teacher, writer, and founder of Novare Science. Mays traces his winding path from electrical engineering and recording-studio work to public school teaching, graduate study in physics, classical education, and two decades at Regents School of Austin. Along the way, he explains how wide reading in literature, history, philosophy, and theology shaped his approach to science education. The conversation turns to the emergence of Novare Science, beginning with Mays's frustration over the “cram, pass, forget” cycle and his search for a mastery-based model that would help students retain, understand, and love what they learned. Mays describes four major integrations that make science education classical: mathematics, history, epistemology, and language. He also recounts the long entrepreneurial labor of writing, designing, printing, selling, and revising an eleven-book science curriculum over seventeen years. The episode closes with Mays's encouragement to science teachers: teach not merely with routine and assignments, but with wonder, beauty, and a vision of creation as God's loving self-disclosure—themes he develops further in his ClassicalU courses, including Teaching Science Classically: 10 Essential Principles, The Science Mastery Workshop, Science and the Symphony of Creation, and Cultivating Wonder Throughout the School. Episode OutlineJohn Mays's winding path through engineering, recording, teaching, physics, classical education, and curriculum writingDiscovering classical education and teaching physics at Regents School of AustinThe two questions behind Novare: how to teach science classically and how to overcome “cram, pass, forget”Mastery-based learning through cumulative assessments, weekly review, practice, and long-term retentionThe four classical integrations in science: mathematics, history, epistemology, and languageThe first Novare books and the growth from classroom materials into a full science curriculumNovare Science, Centripetal Press, and the eventual partnership with Classical Academic PressTextbook beauty, classroom wonder, and Mays's encouragement to science teachersKey Topics & TakeawaysA Winding Vocation: Mays's story moves through engineering, recording, public teaching, graduate physics, classical education, and curriculum writing. Each stage helped prepare him for the work that became Novare Science.The “Cram, Pass, Forget” Problem: Mays saw that students often crammed for tests, passed them, and forgot nearly everything soon after. He came to regard this as a serious failure of academic formation.Mastery and Long-Term Retention: Mays developed cumulative assessments, weekly review guides, and practice habits so students could retain what they learned. Mastery made learning more durable and satisfying.Classical Science Education: Mays describes classical science as integrating mathematics, history, epistemology, and language so students learn science as part of a larger, ordered vision of reality.Masterable and Beautiful Textbooks: Oversized textbooks can communicate that a subject cannot truly be learned. A humane science text should be carefully written, aesthetically inviting, and realistically masterable.Wonder at Creation: The best science teaching helps students see the grandeur, beauty, and order of creation rather than merely preparing for the next assignment or test.Questions & DiscussionWhat makes a vocation different from a career path?Consider John Mays's movement through engineering, recording, teaching, graduate study, and curriculum writing. How did each stage prepare him for the work that eventually became Novare Science?How does the “cram, pass, forget” cycle show up in your own school or learning experience?Reflect on classes where students pass assessments but do not retain what they learned. What classroom practices might unintentionally encourage short-term cramming rather than mastery?What would it mean to teach for mastery rather than coverage?Discuss the difference between racing through a large textbook and helping students retain a smaller, better-chosen body of knowledge. What would have to change in quizzes, homework, review, and expectations?How do mathematics, history, epistemology, and language make science education more classical?Consider how each element deepens students' understanding of science. Which of these is easiest to include, and which is most often neglected?What role should beauty and wonder play in science education?Discuss Mays's encouragement to show students the grandeur, beauty, and order of creation.

⁠Michael Duke (better known as Mr. Dodgy, or @chessproblem on X) is a Chessable author, the co-founder of Chessfam, and co-host of the Chicken Chess Club podcast. He has built a large online following through his passion for chess and his sharp sense of humor. But behind the jokes, Michael has become more serious about improving his own game. With a FIDE rating just shy of 2100, Michael was frustrated that he consistently performed much better in rapid than in classical chess. In order to change that, he sought out GM Alex Colovic for coaching after trying several instructors. He worked to address the biggest weaknesses in his game, including lazy calculation and overly ambitious opening choices. The work paid off as he defeated a grandmaster for the first time at age 38 and later held GM David Howell to a draw in a rapid game. In our conversation, Michael shares what he learned about improving as an adult, why his rapid results have always been better than his OTB results, and the practical changes that helped close the gap. We also discuss Chessfam, the ambitious new platform he co-founded to make finding and entering chess tournaments easier, as well as his observations from the recent European Chess Union Congress and the upcoming FIDE presidential election.

Jeannette sits down with Eddy Hackett, co-founder and executive producer of the Lost Estate, who shares his fascinating journey from training as a classical percussionist to scaling a thriving, multi-million-pound immersive theatre business.  He dives deep into the realities of bootstrapping, the strategic value of looking for capital before you absolutely need it, and how an organisation can build a uniquely resonant brand by leading with its core, human centric identity. You'll Learn Why: A non-linear career shift can introduce creative squiggles that open unexpected and highly lucrative doors. Bootstrapping forces an organisation to adopt a lean, resource-aware mindset that naturally drives creativity. The optimal time to raise capital is when your business is at its strongest, rather than when cash is running low. Elevating your core brand promise is essential for building consumer trust in a highly volatile market. Whether you're a founder, CEO, small business owner, entrepreneur, startup leader or executive, these lessons will help you make smarter hiring decisions and build a stronger, more successful business.

Dr. Justin Sledge is a scholar of philosophy and Western esotericism, and the voice behind the YouTube channel Esoterica, which has grown to over a million subscribers. He has spent his career studying the traditions that history tried to erase: Gnosticism, Kabbalah, Hermeticism, witchcraft, and alchemy.What We Dive Into:1. Classical skepticism is not about debunking or disbelief. It is about bracketing your personal investment long enough to let the material speak for itself. 2. Newton wrote more on alchemy and the occult than on calculus. Descartes arrived at his famous method through a mystical dream. Stripping these facts from the story of modernity has cost us access to some of the most important spiritual technologies ever developed.3. Every other starting point, certainty, comfort, doctrine, conclusions, has a gutter waiting at the end of it. Awe keeps the garden of curiosity alive.Know Thyself, but not by yourself.

Episode 397 of RevoluionZ takes a careful walk through classical Leninist strategy, presenting it as sympathetically as we can so that the real strengths and real weaknesses show themselves without caricature. The context is Marxism-Leninism as an ideology--Classical ideologies as a way to read social conditions, determine goals, choose strategy, and treat organization as a complex revolutionary weapon rather than a neutral container. We start with Lenin the strategist: theory guides him, but he fits his tactics to concrete conditions. That means as Lenin urges, learning to retreat when needed, combining legal and illegal work, and being willing to maneuver, compromise, and even participate in reactionary parliaments when it helps reach workers and expose the system's limits. We ask the uncomfortable question hidden inside his famous “zigzags” offense: who decides on what basis which compromises are smart and which ones corrode the project from the inside? From there we track how the vanguard party, democratic centralism, and “iron discipline” emerged, then moved through 1905, imperialism and World War I, and the 1917 crisis of peace, bread, land, and liberty. We look at what was advocated for after power is taken, consider the turn toward state capitalism as a transitional tactic, consider the tightening of centralized rule, the resolution of debates around worker democracy, and the export of the Bolshevik model through the Third International. All of this is considered using the actual words and choices of Lenin, Trotsky, and a few supporters and critics.If these questions feel relevant right now, that's the point. After resisting authoritarianism, what ideology and organizing methods can help us build something better than a return to business as usual? Last episode presented Classical Marxist theory. This episode presents Leninist strategy. Next episode will assess Bolshevik practice and then we will go back to strategy and finally to its roots in theory and finally consider a couple of alternatives. It is a long sequence and each episode is itself long but also accessible. Each is also offered a bit later as an article for further consideration. Then again choosing one's tools for a profound task is not a trivial task. These episodes are not tweets. I hope you will have time for them and thus for carefully thinking through the tasks we now face. Support the show
