Galveston Island's rich musical heritage produced three extraordinary African-American musicians who carried their island-inspired sounds to the world stage. Frederick Tillis, Louis "Blues Boy" Jones, and Richard "Notes" Williams all grew up in 1930s and 40s Galveston, where music spilled from dance halls, churches, and pavilions, shaping their musical identities before they ventured beyond the Gulf Coast.• Frederick "Baby" Tillis (1930-2020) began performing at age 12, earned a PhD in music composition, and bridged jazz with classical music• Tillis composed over 125 musical works, published 15 books of poetry, and devoted his life to mentoring young musicians• Louis "Blues Boy" Jones (1931-1984) learned singing in church choirs before working at pioneering Black-owned Peacock Records• Jones performed alongside Otis Redding and gained international recognition, though his legacy was nearly forgotten until his recordings resurfaced decades later• Richard "Notes" Williams (1931-1985) mastered the trumpet and performed with jazz legends like Duke Ellington and Charles Mingus• All three musicians served in the military during the Korean War period, with both Tillis and Williams directing military bands• Their stories reveal how Galveston wasn't just a backdrop for music but a launchpad for extraordinary musical careers• Galveston continues its musical tradition today through venues like Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe and the Grand 1894 Opera HouseGalveston Unscripted What is Galveston Unscripted?Follow Galveston Unscripted on Spotify or Apple Podcasts!

En 1926, Jelly Roll Morton approche la quarantaine. Il est au sommet de son art. C'est l'époque de Chicago, des gangsters et de ses premiers disques importants pour la firme Victor avec son groupe, les Red Hot Peppers. Avec lui, l'improvisation collective et foutraque de la Nouvelle Orléans se discipline. Lorsqu'il compose un morceau, il ne le pense plus pour le piano, mais pour tout son orchestre. Il réfléchit à des riffs, des contrepoints, des cadences, des breaks, des prises de paroles réparties entre les différents membres du groupe. Bref, tout ce qu'emploieront après lui Fletcher Henderson et Duke Ellington.  Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

In today's episode, we're joined by the powerhouse that is Edwina Findley Dickerson—an award-winning actress, author, and all-around force of nature. From her early days training at Duke Ellington, Tisch, and Yale to her breakout role on The Wire, Edwina has carved out a career grounded in purpose, vision, and faith. She shares how a seemingly side gig teaching stress management unexpectedly became a divine turning point, deepening her sense of calling far beyond the stage and screen. Now starring as the fast-talking, hilariously flawed Sheila Cannon in Shonda Rhimes' Netflix series The Residence, Edwina opens up about navigating the highs and lows of the entertainment industry while staying rooted in her spiritual path. We also get a sneak peek at her highly anticipated debut book, The World Is Waiting For You, with a foreword by Viola Davis—an inspiring, faith-filled guide to manifesting your "God Dream" and living with intention. These are the unforgettable stories that landed Edwina Findley right here.

In 1896, construction began on the Uganda Railway starting from Mombasa and cutting west through dense bush, rocky escarpments, swamps, and unfamiliar terrain to the shores of Lake Victoria. The work was gruelling and the men suffered from horrible diseases, lack of food and water and terrible living conditions. And then they began disappearing in the night and soon work ground to a halt completely. But what was causing men to flee into the bush in terror?Don't miss an episode—follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with us on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

Leonard Bernstein, in his famous Norton Lectures, extolled repetition, saying that it gave poetry its musical qualities and that music theorists' refusal to take it seriously did so at their peril. In Play It Again, Sam: Repetition in the Arts (MIT Press, 2025), Samuel Jay Keyser explores in detail the way repetition works in poetry, music, and painting. He argues, for example, that the same cognitive function underlies both how poets write rhyme in metrical verse and the way songwriters like Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn (“Satin Doll”) and Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart (“My Funny Valentine”) construct their iconic melodies. Furthermore, the repetition found in these tunes can also be found in such classical compositions as Mozart's Rondo alla Turca and his German Dances, as well as in galant music in general.The author also looks at repetition in paintings like Gustave Caillebotte's Rainy Day in Paris, Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans, and Jackson Pollock's drip paintings. Finally, the photography of Lee Friedlander, Roni Horn, and Osmond Giglia—Giglia's Girls in the Windows is one of the highest-grossing photographs in history—are all shown to be built on repetition in the form of visual rhyme.The book ends with a cognitive conjecture on why repetition has been so prominent in the arts from the Homeric epics through Duke Ellington and beyond. Artists have exploited repetition throughout the ages. The reason why is straightforward: the brain finds the detection of repetition innately pleasurable. Play It Again, Sam offers experimental evidence to support this claim.

In this episode, I look at the origins of Atropa belladonna—a plant whose name combines myth, beauty, and lethal intent. I then examine how its deadly properties were used in two real crimes: the 1977 poisoning committed by Roland Roussel, and the 1994 case involving Paul Agutter. This is a closer look at how ancient knowledge and modern motives collided through one toxic plant.Don't miss an episode—follow, comment, like, and share!Connect with me on social media @‌themondaynightrevue or email at themondaynightrevue@gmail.com.Explore our podcast merch: Shop HereSupport the show: Buy Me a CoffeeDiscover curated reads: BookshopFor ad-free episodes, minisodes, and exclusive perks, join us on Patreon: Support on PatreonWritten and edited by Corinna Harrod with Holly Clarke.

At the Jazz Band Ball is a podcast devoted to jazz from its earliest days through the 1940s. Every show is an exploration of an artist, a venue or an instrument. Louis Armstrong at Connie's Inn in Harlem, Duke Ellington at the Cotton Club, Bix Beiderbecke at the Palace Theatre in Cleveland, and lots more.

It's impossible to overestimate the impact that Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington (born April 29, 1899) had on jazz and indeed the world of music in general. Even if his myriad contributions to the Great American Songbook were his only accomplishment, he would be one of its most hallowed creators, but his legacy is far more sweeping. He managed to field an orchestra for several decades consisting of totally unique musical personalities for which he tailored new compositions to feature their individual and combined strengths in a way that was completely original and influenced literally everything that came after him.

In the Nation's Capital, music and sports have played a central role in the lives of African Americans, often serving as a barometer of social conflict and social progress―for sports clubs and ball games, jam sessions and concerts, offered entertainment, enlightenment, and encouragement. At times, they have also offered a means of escape from the harsh realities of everyday life. Rhythms of Resistance and Resilience (Georgetown UP, 2025) tells the story of these musicians and athletes who have used their skills and their determination to achieve success in the face of discrimination. Jackson begins with pioneers such as James Reese Europe, who formed the first musicians' union and fought as a member of the Harlem Hellfighters in World War I, and ends with giants of the twentieth century, such as Duke Ellington and Georgetown University basketball coaching legend John Thompson Jr. Readers interested in the history of Washington, DC, the civil rights movement, racial justice, music, and sports will draw important lessons from these stories of the Black men and women who found in sports and music spaces to combat racial prejudice and bring people in the District of Columbia together.

We're going to have a little extra fun with this episode. In fact, you might say I have high hopes for it. One of my dad's, and my, favorite artists is Willie Nelson. One of my favorite holidays is the day this episode drops, and I'm not talking about Easter. Some of the most favorite songs-to-record in music history are on this album. So famous, just the songs you'll hear have been recorded more than 63 hundred times. That's what you call standards. And the voice who sings them? A classic! We definitely need to take a toke of Indica for this one as we get mellow. So get ready to bake a mixture of melancholy and marijuana with one of the most recognizable voices in history singing some of history's most recognizable vocals in Volume 225: The Standard Stoner.  More information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.  Credits and copyrights Willie Nelson – Stardust Label: Columbia – JC 35305 Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Promo, Terre Haute Released: 1978 Genre: Rock, Blues, Pop Style: Country Blues Georgia On My Mind Written-By – Hoagy Carmichael and Stuart Gorrell in 1930 A song record 1125 times All Of Me Written-By – Gerald Marks and Seymore Simons in 1931 Recorded 953 times Blue Skies  Written-By – Irving Berlin in 1926 Recorded 637 times Unchained Melody Written-By – Alex North and Hy Zaret in 1955 Recorded 708 times On The Sunny Side Of The Street Written-By – Dorothy Fields and Jimmy McHugh in 1930 Recorded 814 times Moonlight In Vermont Written-By – John Blackburn and Karl Suessdorf in 1944 Recorded 545 times Don't Get Around Much Anymore Written-By – Bob Russell and Duke Ellington in 1940 Recorded 611 times Someone To Watch Over Me Written-By – George and Ira Gershwin in 1926 Recorded 928 times I do not own the rights to this music.

There are certain incidents that stay in the collective conscience and the Kings Cross Fire is one of them.

Episode 71: Harvey Mason Sr. You've heard Harvey Mason Sr., whether you realize it or not. From the iconic grooves of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters to the GRAMMY-winning “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal, Harvey's drumming has shaped music history across genres, decades, and mediums — albums, film scores, and TV alike. He's not only a musical powerhouse, but a dear friend, and in this episode, we finally sat down to dig into his legendary run — especially his work with Herbie Hancock and the Head Hunters album. Harvey shares the story of how that band came together, the sessions behind Chameleon and Watermelon Man, and why he chose not to tour with them at the height of their success. We also dive into his solo career — how it started, how it evolved, and the surprising role Clive Davis played in making it all happen. Harvey opens up about his long-standing friendships and collaborations with Quincy Jones and Chick Corea, his approach to fatherhood (including raising his sons Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, and Max Mason, former VP of Quincy Jones Productions), and how he built a legacy both on and off the kit. Fun fact: Vic Firth was Harvey's teacher — and Harvey still receives royalties from the early days of Vic Firth drumsticks! We also get into his stunning new album Changing Partners: Trios 2, featuring the likes of Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, James Genus, Dave Grusin, Stanley Clarke. This conversation is a masterclass in musicianship, legacy, and love for the craft. Enjoy my sit-down with the incomparable Harvey Mason Sr. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

It's April 2025 ... and that means it's national Jazz Appreciation Month here in the U.S.! Join host CH as she shares her own journey to not only coming to love the genre - particularly the classics and standards of the 1930s and 40s - but also how it has shaped her sense of musicianship when she resumed playing drums after a 10 year hiatus. She reflects on how the sounds of jazz surrounded her at a young age (even if she wasn't suuuuper interested at the time), and how her original love of playing pop/rock music evolved as her own musical leanings changed over time. She also reminds us of the importance of embracing music - no matter the genre - at any stage of life for the personal enrichment and inspiration it brings to us all.   Show Notes Jazz Appreciation Month (known as "JAM") runs from April 1 - April 30 in the U.S. It culminates with the international celebration of International Day of Jazz on April 30th. For those looking for more information and events that are scheduled for 2025, head over to the National Museum of American History, which founded JAM in 2001 (and of which is where CH pulled the quote that ended our episode). Additionally, CH highly recommends the Ken Burns PBS documentary film, "Jazz", for those looking for a comprehensive examination and tribute to jazz from its earliest origins up to present day. Some of the artists CH mentioned that played in her grandparent's house as she was growing up: Duke Ellington; Billie Holliday; Ella Fitzgerald; Glenn Miller; Benny Goodman; Frank Sinatra; Dean Martin; Nat King Cole. Additionally, her step-father was a fan of Brazilian jazz. The Los Angeles radio station CH also grew up listening to was 94.7 The Wave (now known as The Soul of Southern California).

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Alain Locke's classic essay "The New Negro" and the literary anthology featuring the work of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen and other significant black writers of the day.The rising artistic scene would soon be known as the Harlem Renaissance, one of the most important cultural movements in American history. And it would be centered within America's largest black neighborhood -- Harlem, the "great black city," as described by Wallace Thurman, with a rising population and growing political and cultural influence.During the 1920s, Harlem became even more. Along "Swing Street" and Lenox Avenue, nightclubs and speakeasies gave birth to American music and fostered great musical talents like Count Basie, Billie Holiday and Duke Ellington. Ballrooms like the Savoy and the Alhambra helped turn Harlem into a destination for adventure and romance.What were these two worlds like -- the literary salons and the nightclubs? How removed were these spheres from the everyday lives of regular Harlem residents? How did the neighborhood develop both an energetic and raucous music scene and a diverse number of churches -- many (like the Abyssinian Baptist Church) still around today?Visit the website for more details and more podcastsGet tickets to our March 31 City Vineyard event Bowery Boys HISTORY LIVE! hereAnd join us for our Gilded Age Weekend in New York, May 29-June 1, 2025.
