Brian Lynch уже сделал выдающуюся карьеру как двукратный обладатель премии GRAMMY - уважаемый композитор, трубач и профессор музыкальной школы Frost School of Music. Сегодня хочу представить вам его новый альбом с очень интересным названием 7x7by7. Число семь является мистическим, магическим, основным и кардинальным для нашего мира. От семи дней недели до семи ступеней диатонической шкалы, это число всегда присутствует как в жизни, так и в музыке. Сочиненная во время пандемии, музыка на этом альбоме была задумана как септологоия, состоящая из семи пьес, исполняемых семью музыкантами. Каждая пьеса была составлена ​​с общими атрибутами (форма секций, временной промежуток и темповые отношения), которые делают возможным обмен секциями ансамбля и отдельными частями из любой пьесы в любую другую из семи. Каждый трек также имеет точно такую ​​же длину, ровно семь минут. Музыка была записана таким образом, что позволяет бесшовно собирать элементы из каждой и любой композиции на одной временной шкале. Сформированная этими атрибутами и их ограничениями, эта работа имеет потенциал для бесконечных вариаций реализации посредством отбора, сопоставления и даже случайности. В рамках общего проекта некоторые из этих альтернативных реализаций будут публиковаться онлайн в течение всего срока проекта, включая ремиксы приглашенных артистов. Другая цель этого проекта - отработать новый формат импровизированного создания музыки посредством гибридного выступления, призванного вовлечь как музыкантов, так и аудиторию. Взаимодействие между живыми музыкантами и записанным аудио/видео с этих сессий, обрабатываемых оператором (диджеем) в реальном времени, станет отличительной чертой этой презентации. Еще один слой семерок, примененных в этом альбоме, скрывается в названиях. С моего двадцать первого (7x3) по шестьдесят третий (7x9) год, каждый семилетний этап в моей жизни увековечен в названии одного из семи треков. Краткое описание того, что происходило в моей жизни в те года, сопровождает (и частично объясняет) каждое название. Мне было очень весело собирать этот проект, и теперь я с нетерпением жду, что еще я смогу вытащить из этой музыки в студии и на эстраде. Я определенно рад тому, как получились мелодии в оригинальной форме, которую вы слышите здесь. Благодаря мастерству, креативности и усердию в студии шести других музыкантов, как старых друзей, так и новых, мы смогли что-то сказать в музыкальном плане, работая в рамках этого проекта. Музыка на этом альбоме далека от эзотерики. Ее мелодические контуры, гармонические движения и ритмические грувы вполне соответствуют тому, чего могут ожидать слушатели, знакомые с моей музыкой. Если вы новичок в моей музыке, я думаю, этот альбом также станет хорошим знакомством с ней!

On this episode of the Xian Archive Podcast, Matt is joined by music producer, drummer & DJ Zach Morillo. As the artist ‘ MORiLLO ', Zach has released three albums, three ep's, and a multitude of singles and remixes on established labels such as Gravitas Recordings, Muti Music, High Vibe Records, Tribal Trap, Hybrid Trap, Simplify, and Play Me Records. As he continues to build his project, Zach's music has been celebrated by music lovers and DJ's on stages and at festivals around the world.     During the conversation the two discuss Zach's musical path, his experiences with festivals, psychedelics and synchronicity. They also discuss ecstatic dance, musical gear, DAWS and mindset for creating, plus more.     At the young age of 7, Zach's journey in music began when he became close friends with his next-door neighbors, the children of the late legendary drummer, Jeff Porcaro. Through spending time at Jeff's house in Orlando, Florida, Zach was exposed to the life of a musician and first sat down behind a set of drums. He quickly discovered his natural talent and passion for music and rhythm. Making music has been his life's focus ever since.     Zach attended the Music and Performing Arts magnet program at Dr. Phillips High School where he learned to master rudimentary skills, serving as the captain of the drum-line and studying privately with jazz greats, Danny Gottlieb and Joe Morello. His musical education continued at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music where he was awarded scholarship for a Jazz Drums major in the Studio Music and Jazz Bachelors program. During his time at UM, he quickly became one of the most sought after drummers in school and in the greater Miami and South Florida area. He performed regularly with many of the local hip-hop, reggae, and rock bands while working steadily in the corporate top-40 circuit.     With a desire to expand his opportunities across the music world, Zach moved to Los Angeles in 2012. He quickly found work as a touring drummer for internationally acclaimed artists RHYE, Childish Gambino, and Groundation and has traveled the world performing at the biggest and best festivals and venues like Coachella, Red Rocks, and The Hollywood Bowl. In addition, he has been creating and developing his own unique sound and identity through music production and djing.

The Valley Jazz Orchestra just released a new album “Vicious Fishes” for the first time in over 50 years. Co-directors of the album Dr. Jeffrey Lovell and Dr. Justin Morell. Their paths first crossed at the University of Oregon where they both earned their doctorate degrees. They're now professors at Lebanon Valley College. Students in the “Big Band” was also apart of the project. For senior Aaron Ruddrow says working with Dr. Lovell and Dr. Morell was an enjoyable experience. “I've had the opportunity, and I'm blessed to have had the opportunity to record a few things of mine, but also a couple of other people's projects in the past. And but nothing quite this scale. And it was really. Yeah, enjoyable experience, especially to be able to collaborate directly with Dr. Morale, being the composer, to kind of just talk to him and be like, okay, what sound do you want from me? Like, what do you want specifically from me as the drummer? And to get like, what are you looking for? And it was kind of it was a neat experience to be able to, to collaborate in that way, just to produce exactly what we were all envisioning for this project, “said Ruddrow. The last Vally Jazz Orchestra last album was released in the 1970's, nearly 60 years ago. According to Dr. Lovell, the band was run by a fraternity in the 70's. He says it was monumental to accomplish the new album. Dr. Morell says he's proud of his students. “We knew that this was a group of students and musicians that should be, you know, captured on recording so that it could be remembered and listened to. But we also we did it with an awareness of a tradition and a history of jazz at this college that, you know, like Jeff was saying, I mean, it goes back, you know, well into the 70s and has been, you know, certainly at many times it's been a hub of jazz and jazz education in this region of a quality that is that's very rare. So, we wanted to make sure that if we were going to do a recording project that it at least, you know, could. Could be, you know, in that lineage and stand up to, you know, the tradition that's been around here for all that time. And I'll tell you also, this is I you know, if we have any control over this is not going to be the last such project that we do. Because, you know, Jeff, he doesn't talk about it that much, but he's an incredible jazz composer, not to mention pianist and just overall musician. And so, my goal is to, you know, get him to do a project of all of his music because the band should be playing that, “said Morell. The album also features grammy aware winning artists.  “We've got two Grammy Award winning trumpeters that have agreed to record a couple of solos on the album. The two that we're kind of excited about. We're also guest artists for our concerts the last two years. John Diverse, who is the director of the jazz program at Frost School in Miami for our School of Music and a close friend of Justin's. And also a mutual friend of ours, Josh Deutsch, who's a New York based trumpet player, musician, fantastic musician who came to played with the band and with the faculty last spring. He recorded a couple of tracks solos on a couple of tracks for the album. And then Tom Stroman, our own legend in the music department, recorded a solo on one of the tracks. So, we are we wanted to kind of make a big splash and a big deal about this. It it's we see it as also an opportunity for recruitment. To get the word out about the program, having some tangible artifact of what our students have accomplished and what can be accomplished moving forward, “said Lovell.        Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There are times when you get a sense that you're talking with an old friend that you've actually never met. There are shared times and memories that travelled on parallel lines but somehow never managed to intersect. That's the best way that I can describe the conversation I had with Shelly Berg. From places lived and mutual friends, to times spent working with Jazz Aspen Snowmass in Colorado, our off-mic discussion created “allegría,” the Spanish word for joy, which is not only the name of his new album, but the foundation of his perspective on life.  Shelly feels that the more an audience feels included in the music, the better time everybody has, the more opportunity there is for the music to reach - and move - them. That's the foundation of ‘Allegría,' a collaborative album of  Berg originals, plus fresh takes on classics from Leonard Bernstein and The Beatles, performed with longtime friends, bassist Carlitos Del Puerto, drummer Dafnis Prieto and special guest, Melvin Butler.  Shelly draws inspiration not only from his experiences as a leader in higher education as dean of the University of Miami's Frost School of Music since 2007 - and before that  as a professor at USC's Thornton School for 16 years - but also as a collaborator with jazz legendary international artists, including Gloria Estefan, Arturo Sandoval, Steve Miller, and Pharrell Williams, among others.  All of that rich backstory is brought into ‘Allegría,' creating an understanding of joy, and all its co-existing chambers — sorrow, longing, faith, peace, reflection.  Shelly describes it as, “A big narrative made up of smaller ones,” that allows listeners to feel “connected to the music and the arc of the album.” That's where our joyful conversation begins.

Connor Rohrer, a jazz pianist in his final year at the Frost School of Music, has experienced a remarkable journey. He recently reached the finals of the prestigious 2023 Herbie Hancock Institute of Jazz International Piano Competition, a highly competitive event. Additionally, he's currently touring with Samara Joy, a triple Grammy winner and acclaimed young jazz vocalist. Their sold-out concert at The Moss Center in South Miami-Dade features Rohrer, alongside fellow Frost master's student David Mason on saxophone, and alum Jason Charos on trumpet. Raised in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, Rohrer attributes much of his success to Frost, where he's pursuing a Master's Degree in Music Theory and Composition. Associate professor Martin Bejerano, Rohrer's mentor, praises his exceptional talent and humble nature. Bejerano emphasizes Rohrer's growth as a musician and his dedication to serving the music. Rohrer acknowledges Bejerano's significant influence on his artistic development and credits Frost for providing numerous performance opportunities and valuable connections. His talent for composition was recognized with a 2022 Downbeat Student Jazz award. Despite initial reluctance, Rohrer's participation in the Herbie Hancock competition and collaboration with Samara Joy were pivotal. Frost connections facilitated his involvement with Joy's band, highlighting the importance of networks in the music industry. Reflecting on his experiences, Rohrer expresses admiration for Joy's inclusive approach to music-making. Their collaboration emphasizes teamwork and creativity, fostering a supportive environment among group members. As Rohrer prepares to graduate, his journey at Frost has been marked by achievement, mentorship, and collaboration, setting a strong foundation for his future endeavors in the world of jazz music.Support WITF: https://www.witf.org/support/give-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"It's not about only 'what do you hear,' it's about how you hear. What is the color of the sound you hear? What do you hear in the vocal mechanism?

This is Alex Quinn, and you're listening to the Hustle Inspires Hustle podcast. We're in Miami today with Stephanie and Viviana from Frost School of Music.Alex: (00:58) I appreciate both of you being here. It's, it's, you know, it's, it's an honor. Stephanie: (01:01) Yeah. It was meant to happen, right? Alex: (01:19) You guys have great chemistry, though. Like it's really, it's super cool. Alex: (01:29) How long have you both known each other? Alex: (01:32) Two years now already. Alex: (01:36) So let, let's dive right in on, like, what you guys are, what you guys are doing now. Cause that's kind of like the purpose of why we wanted to sit here and, you know, talk about what's going on. You guys are working at the Frost School of Music right now? Stephanie: (01:46) So we're at the Frost School of Music. It's a renowned music school. It's one of the best in the country. Stephanie: (02:56) Vivianna does social media, so I think she could talk about what it's like to be on both ends of putting content out there for Yeah. An established artist versus an up-and-coming.Stephanie: (04:09) I went to school cause I wanted to work in the music business even though I fell in love with music, through singing, through song lyrics.Viviana: (04:34) I feel like a singer. Okay. Yeah. Um, but actually, I'm not a musician. I, I'm not musically inclined. I don't think so. I used to sing opera when I was little, but sure, I think my love for music actually started in my upbringing in my childhood. I was born in Puerto Rico, so a lot of music, a lot of cultures, and a lot of stuff going on there.Alex: (05:53) There are so many things to do within music, right? Some people maybe aren't ready to be an artist right away. Learning the business side is the most important side part outside of the talent, right?Alex: (06:34) When I first came into, like, music marketing and I started to learn about it and still learning about it, I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. There are so many layers; there are so many levels to how people get paid and how things work out that people don't really fully understand how that fully works. Alex: (10:00) Everybody loves music. Right. But back in that time, I guess before the internet and, you know, before the resources we have now, I guess it wasn't that easy to say, okay, I'm gonna work in the, in the music industry.Alex: (11:40) Now we have a lot of, a lot more things that are going on. Like, before the podcast started, the three of us were briefly talking about chat GPT, which is like a really hot topic right now. Artificial intelligence, you, it's pretty much a chat box. You tell the chat box what you want to write for you. It could code a website for you. It could write a poem for you. It could write the opening scene to a movie for you. Viviana: (14:39) I don't remember if it was in 2019, but I thought it was really interesting to see how this person, it's, it, I don't, she doesn't exist, but they give her life. She's an AI character. And you would look her up on Instagram. She has tons of followers.Stephanie: (19:52) That's like the power of music when you're like, it just brings you, pulls you in. Like I've cried at multiple concerts. That's totally normal.Alex: (20:38) How, like what is, what is your most proud moment in music so far? You've done a lot of cool stuff. We'll go one by one, so we could kind of, like, so think about it again. You can go first. Yeah. Stephanie: (21:06) So I think this year I had various moments where I was able to do that. A lot of it was because I was in a workplace that really allowed and encouraged me to do that.Stephanie: (21:57) At the end of the day, for me, everything that I'm doing is about the next generation. Alex: (23:35) Not every kid has the privilege of support from their family, friends, and people around them. And financially either financially, and, I mean, we live in Miami, it's a beautiful city, city, but there's a lot of rough areas in Miami.Viviana: (27:13) I really wanna touch upon what you said, Stephanie. Cuz Okay. So I am used to being like on the BTS side, like I'm very shy, and I'm very introverted. So once I decided that I was going to pursue music, I didn't know who to look up to.Alex: (29:26) Thank you for joining me on this episode of the Hustle Inspires Hustle podcast.

"We all get this exposure to popular music as young children, and when we get to the academy, we're quickly taught that popular music is less worthy, less valuable.

Dr. Bumbach works to create an inclusive environment that focuses on equity and justice so that all students receive an equitable experience.With a research interest that focuses on the confluence of classical choral music and popular musical styles Dr. Bumbach frequently writes, presents, and lectures on bluegrass style, fusion choral works, technology integration in choral performance, and storytelling in virtual choir videos. He has published articles in ACDA's The Choral Journal, NCCO's Choral Scholar, Chorus America's Research Memorandum Series, SDMEA's South Dakota Musician, and FMEA's Florida Music Director. His choral compositions have been performed by the Virginia Chorale, Florida Singing Sons Boychoir, the Orlando Chorale, Fredonia State University Chamber Singers, College of Central Florida, University of Miami, and several middle and high school choirs.

Ana Flavia Zuim is a multi-award winning musical director and conductor, musician and associate director of vocal performance at NYU. Her credits include the likes of associate conductor and vocal coach for Billy Elliot tours in the USA and the rehearsal pianist for Hamilton on Broadway. Anna joins Alexa this week on Singing Teachers Talk to discuss her work as a researcher in the field of forensic voice analysis.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Anna's published paper on the voice started because she noticed there's not a lot of research on contemporary styles of vocalism that gives an indication of how much is too much. The original intent was to have both the measurements for an opera and a contemporary show and compare the two.  About 3 or 4 years ago Anna visited colleagues at Harvard and discussed the KayPENTAX APM 3200, a pretty rare device that they don't make anymore. They decided to let her borrow it to collect data for her study.  With this device they decided to measure the effect on three male identifying voices and three female identifying, this was made up of a major role, minor role, and ensemble for each. They measured separate phases of the show from learning lines to the show day.  From the study Anna and the team found that the distance dose, how many cycles the vocal folds go through but converted to distance, was different between males and females. Female identifying singers sang approximately 3.23 miles per day and the male identifying singers about 2.34 miles.  Anna believes we need to change the stigma around vocal injuries, singers feel like they need to push through and are reluctant to get help because of the culture in the theatre. Shows have physical therapists of masseuse for physical injuries, but don't have a vocal specialist.    BEST MOMENTS ‘It was fascinating because it gave us an idea on the demands on the voice of preparing for a show'  ‘I don't know if educating will change critics'  ‘The stimaga about voice and voice injury is real'    EPISODE RESOURCES  BAST Training    Guest Website: www.anaflaviazuim.com   Social Media: @anaflaviazuim   Relevant Links & Mentions:  Journal of Voice: www.jvoice.org Vocal Dose and Vocal Demands in Contemporary Musical Theatre by Ana Flavia Zuim, Celia F Stewart & Ingo R Titze: https://www.jvoice.org/article/S0892-1997(21)00278-2/ppt Studied Productions: The Magic Flute by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Wonderland by Frank Wildhorn & Jack Murphy Maurice E Goodwin SLP Vocal Health Education  Example: Astonishing from Little Women by Sutton Foster  Ben Platt and Dear Evan Hansen Matt Edwards and the Asbury Park Press (Jon Bon Jovi vocal issues: What is going on and how can it be fixed?): https://eu.app.com/story/entertainment/music/2022/05/09/jon-bon-jovi-voice-vocal-issues-bad-singing/9661274002/ ABOUT THE GUEST  Ana Flavia Zuim is a multi award-winner musical director/conductor and an accomplished pianist, vocologist, electric bassist and expert witness. She serves as Associate Director of Vocal Performance at NYU, Steinhardt.

A court battle challenging the freedom of the press. A popular Italian novel turned opera will be performed by the Frost School this weekend. Plus, graffiti — is it art?

Singer/songwriter and guitarist Raul Midón is on an undeniable roll. After GRAMMY® Award nominations for his two previous Artistry Music/Mack Avenue Music Group releases – Bad Ass & Blind and If You Really Want, each for Best Jazz Vocal Album – he returns with his 11th studio album and fourth for the label: The Mirror, to be released March 13, 2020. The Mirror finds Midón breaking new ground for himself, including two entrancing solo spoken-word pieces (“If I Could See” and “One Day Without War”). The album also features studio meetings with such veteran jazz colorists as vibraphonist Joe Locke (“A Certain Café”), as well as a songwriting collaboration with top pianist Gerald Clayton, “Deep Dry Ocean.” Another highlight is the road-weary jazz ballad “Cold Cuts and Coffee,” while title track “The Mirror” beguiles with its easy tropical groove, lyrical sophistication and Midón's flowing electric guitar. As National Public Radio set the stage before his captivating edition of its “Tiny Desk Concert” broadcast: “Raul Midón lives in a world of sound. Blind since birth, Midón's interpretation of his surroundings is borderless. He sings with the passion of the best classic soul singers, and his instrumental chops stand alongside the most accomplished jazz musicians.” Along with his 11 studio albums as a solo artist, Midón – dubbed “an eclectic adventurist” by People magazine – has collaborated with such heroes as Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, along with contributing to records by Queen Latifah and Snoop Dogg and the soundtrack to Spike Lee's She Hate Me. A native of New Mexico who now lives in Maryland after years in New York, Midón has earned acclaim the world over, with a fanbase that stretches from San Francisco to India, Amsterdam to Tokyo. Marveling over his live performances, The New York Times has called Midón “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” He recently performed in a special Homecoming Week music series at his alma mater, the University of Miami's Frost School of Music. He was surprised onstage with the school's most prestigious honor, the Distinguished Alumni Award. Frost's dean said of the 1990 graduate: “Raul Midón truly personifies what a student at our school can achieve. It's a thrill to be able to honor Raul's extraordinary talent and exemplary accomplishments.” Originally aired in 2010. www.raulmidon.com www.joekelleyradio.com

Seasons Greetings My Lovely Drumsters,  I hope you had an amazing holiday season and that 2022 brings you all the love, dreams, and fun goodies life has to offer. Do you love Christmas songs?  They immediately seem to make the season of the holidays festive and I don't think Christmas would be the same without them.  They seem to be a genre of music that can make you cry, laugh, or just have fun with the family and friends for some sing-alongs.  I started a collection of Christmas albums after my parents passed because it was one of the traditions we had in our house growing up.  They always made me feel like they were there when I'd listen to them.  You're probably asking me, “Why are we talking about Christmas tunes?” Well for starters it's because today's guest is the lovely Juliette Valle who has created her first album, a wonderful Christmas album titled https://open.spotify.com/artist/6fTP6h3OvsBEOnSET9GNTb (“Joyfully”).  Not only is it one of the most beautiful sounding Christmas albums, but there's also a great cause that will be helped as it sells.  She is donating 100% of the profits to the National Kidney Foundation (a cause near and dear to her heart).  And, this means to the world to me as both my mom and brother were Dialysis patients.   Juliette is here today to discuss her current title holder of The Miss Florida Pageant (a title not to be taken lightly). Her new album, and how she's making an impact with it, and how she balances it all.   Juliette is not only a young beautiful woman on the outside, but, she seems to have a heart of gold.  She's a tremendously talented opera singer (and she's only a junior in college).  She's been a classically trained vocalist since she was 8 years old.  She holds two state MPA Vocalchampionships for the category of Opera Performance in a Foreign Language.  In 2015 she was admitted to https://fgo.org/index.shtml?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzeTn2r239QIVHhbUAR0hWgT4EAAYASAAEgJfXfD_BwE (Florida) https://fgo.org/index.shtml?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzeTn2r239QIVHhbUAR0hWgT4EAAYASAAEgJfXfD_BwE (Grand Opera's) teen program and became a prodigy for its https://youngarts.org/?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIia-a1b639QIVGSiGCh1JmwDsEAAYASAAEgIBmfD_BwE (Young) https://youngarts.org/?_vsrefdom=adwords&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIia-a1b639QIVGSiGCh1JmwDsEAAYASAAEgIBmfD_BwE (Artists Learning Academy (YALA)).  Juliette is currently an undergraduate at the https://www.frost.miami.edu/ (Frost School of Music) at the https://welcome.miami.edu/ (University of Miami) majoring in Political Science with minors in Broadcast Journalism, Music, and Theatre Arts.

Schedule a Spiritual Upgrade Breakthrough call with me and let's talk about how my programs can help you. In today's episode, I speak with Steph Blick from Steph B. Inspired. Steph and I met in Nashville in a Sweat Lodge.  Last month, sitting in the womb of Mother Earth, she offered us a beautiful blessing in her song.  It left me crying as it opened my heart.  The message that came through was about having a voice,  right now and using it for the highest good in raising consciousness, in healing and sharing this power which is my reason for wanting to bring Steph on the show. We talk about music, the traditional therapy scene, spirituality and the importance it plays healing and recovery, the indigenous ceremony and what it means to be a Creative Healing Artist. Singing came first for Steph Blick.  At a your age she was signed to a record label yet even though she was living he dream she was unhappy and felt like a puppet. She turned down a second album deal at seventeen and studied music at two prestigious music schools (Jazz Vocal Performance at The Frost School of Music/University of Miami and Songwriting at Berklee College of Music) before changing her major to Psychology and finishing up undergrad at Florida State University in 2010.    After that, her life went off the rails for a little bit. She hit the road and embarked on what she now calls her beautiful nightmare. It started with intentional, nomadic living; camping in National Forests (Rainbow Gatherings), sharing songs and food with her brothers and sisters, and living in harmony with the Earth. She learned how to survive outside the system, literally. She was a traveler... and she panhandled and gas-jugged her way across the country and back. It was fun at first, and then it turned dark. It turned dark because as she says… she was not a healthy human. She found herself in toxic relationships and  sought escape, excitement, and relief through substances. Her healing journey brought her to a treatment center near Nashville, TN that incorporated indigenous spiritual practices into the milieu. Had it not been for this, she says she does not think that her life would have re-calibrated so effortlessly. Through her recovery, Steph decided to move to Nashville, TN. After a couple years, she began working at an alcohol & drug treatment center and eventually became licensed as an Alcohol & Drug Abuse Counselor (LADAC-II). She went on to grad school and earned a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Loving the process of guiding people back to wholeness but not necessary the "behind the scenes" part of being a therapist, she left the traditional world of therapy. Today, Steph is a Creating Healing Artist focusing on her music and integrating her counseling with healing modalities. Her EP… ”It Is What It Is" by Steph Blick is now available for download and streaming on all major platforms. Website Facebook. Instagram. Music. YouTube As Steph says, "Being authentic, knowing your truth, knowing your walk in life is so empowering for you and those around you." It is time we all took a step forward in discernment… in knowing and checking in with the authenticity of who you are and the work you offer. Check out Steph's music.. and her offerings. As I go to close this year, I want to say thank you to all my teachers, coaches and mentors.  So grateful for their support in all that I do.  And most importantly, a huge thank you to you.. yes... YOU... for listening. In a time when many of us are feeling like we are wandering and trying to help and teach and awaken... it can feel lonely talking into a microphone.. yet receiving messages and emails and comments back from you is so inspiring for me to continue on this path. So thank you..  May your holiday be filled with lots of peace! I'll be back in the new year with more episodes on the Empowered Spirit Show. Thanks again for listening.

I'm flipping the TV channels when I see something that makes me have a flashback to my childhood. I remember standing next to my best friend Jeff Babko in the backyard near a kiddie pool. We loved putting on skits and performing at his house as kids. Then, we got older and lost touch as I got into softball and moved to Hawaii for college while he studied music in Miami. So imagine my surprise when I stopped on Jimmy Kimmel's show one day and saw a very familiar face. It was Jeff! I had to invite him on the show for a walk down memory lane. And he's got plenty of stories to share about his musical career and travels, working with other musicians, and especially collaborating with comedians like Steve Martin and Martin Short. We talk all about it, as well as performance (whether it's music, improv, or storytelling) and key elements necessary for making a connection with your audience. What you will learn in this episode: What role music plays in comedy and storytelling Why your audience matters in every performance  How you can best experience your own storytelling Who is Jeff? Born and raised in southern California, Jeff Babko has lived on the West Coast for his entire career of television, film, and live performances. After graduating from the University of Miami's Frost School of Music, he began touring internationally with Julio Iglesias, then joined the group, Toto, to tour Europe. He's also recorded and toured with musical stars like Smokey Robinson, Yo-Yo Ma, Frank Ocean, Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette, Willie Nelson, James Taylor, and John Mayer, among many others. On the TV side of things, Jeff's most significant work has to be the past 18 years as the musical arranger, co-composer, and house band member of Jimmy Kimmel Live. But he's always kept his toes dipped in comedy too. His TV work actually began on Martin Short's syndicated talk show at the turn of the century. In fact, he still regularly performs with Short and Steve Martin. Jeff has also been on the Emmy award-winning Wayne Brady daytime show and even worked as an Emmy show composer, arranger, and orchestra member for three years. People have enjoyed his performances at the 2012 Democratic National Convention and the White House for the Obamas and the Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel. His work is even featured on the musical scores of several movies like Toy Story 4, Frozen 2, and Pixar's Luca. But today, Jeff and his wife, violinist Songa Lee, produce music from their studio in the San Fernando Valley and regularly perform as a duo in Paso Robles, CA Links and Resources: Jeff Babko Storytelling School Website @storytellingschool on Instagram @storytellingSchool on Facebook

Along with his 11 studio albums as a solo artist, Midón – dubbed “an eclectic adventurist” by People magazine – has collaborated with such heroes as Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and Bill Withers, along with contributing to records by Queen Latifah and Snoop Dogg and the soundtrack to Spike Lee's She Hate Me. A native of New Mexico who now lives in Maryland after years in New York, Midón has earned acclaim the world over, with a fanbase that stretches from San Francisco to India, Amsterdam to Tokyo. Marveling over his live performances, The New York Times has called Midón “a one-man band who turns a guitar into an orchestra and his voice into a chorus.” He recently performed in a special Homecoming Week music series at his alma mater, the University of Miami's Frost School of Music. He was surprised onstage with the school's most prestigious honor, the Distinguished Alumni Award. Frost's dean said of the 1990 graduate: “Raul Midón truly personifies what a student at our school can achieve. It's a thrill to be able to honor Raul's extraordinary talent and exemplary accomplishments.”For a glimpse of how magnetic Midón can be live, seek out on YouTube the clip of his appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006. Performing “State of Mind,” the title track from his major-label debut, Midón unveils what would become his signature combination of silky voice and percussive guitar. His playing is a syncopated wonder in which bass, harmony and melodic lines fly from the fretboard in a way that belies the fact that all the music is being produced by just two hands. If that weren't enough, Midón busts out his improvisational mouth-horn technique, in which he creates a bebop “trumpet” solo with his lips, earning himself a burst of mid-song applause from the audience. The title of Midón's Bad Ass & Blind album came from an apt description of its maker that soul icon Bill Withers endorsed; the 2017 release saw Midón collaborating with such top jazz players as trumpeter Nicholas Payton, pianist Gerald Clayton and drummer Gregory Hutchinson. NPR noted that the disc continues Midón's “streak of records that cross boundaries with ease and head-turning musicality.” Midón's 2018 follow-up, If You Really Want, found Midón's voice and guitar riding the waves of the Metropole Orkest, the GRAMMY Award-winning Dutch ensemble that has collaborated with artists from Al Jarreau and Elvis Costello to Laura Mvula and Snarky Puppy. Midón worked hand in glove on If You Really Want with another renowned GRAMMY winner: arranger and conductor Vince Mendoza. Relix magazine said about the album: “Throughout, there's that voice – passionate and confident – with Midón giving each word his full attention so that you know he means it.” Midón's earlier studio discography includes Don't Hesitate .(2014), Synthesis (2010), A World Within a World (2007) and State of Mind (2005) He also released the CD/DVD Invisible Chains – Live from NYC, which documents an intimate concert in Joe's Pub at the Public Theater from 2012. Midón's live 2016 rendition of John Coltrane's classic “Giant Steps” – which sees him fly through all 12 keys on the guitar – earned more than a million views via Facebook. Ever since being told by some when he was a child that his blindness meant that “you can't do this, you can't do that,” Midón has lived a life devoted to beating the odds and shattering stereotypes. “As someone who has never seen, I've always felt at a disadvantage in that lyric writing is usually very visual,” he says. “People really relate to images and I've never seen images. But what I realized early on is that you have to write from what you know, and I hear, touch and feel intensely – and those are sensations and experiences that everyone can relate to.”★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Jeff Babko is an in-demand pianist and keyboardist who has spent his life learning his craft and contributing to the music industry. He's toured the world, worked with huge artists, is a gifted recording artist, and is currently the music arranger, composer, and house band member on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Listen as he shares more about his journey and experiences in the music industry and his hopes for the future.    It all started at a young age for Jeff. He remembers always being drawn to music and more specifically by album artwork.

Welcome to another episode of the continuing series of film, TV and video game composer interviews on the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO NETWORK. Carlos Rafael Rivera is an EMMY Award-winning composer for film and television. A protégé of Randy Newman, he earned a DMA in Composition at USC’s Thornton School, where he studied with Donald Crockett and Stephen Hartke. As a guitarist, he has performed onstage as opening act for The Who at the Hollywood Bowl; recorded studio sessions for Island/Def Jam, and Universal Records; and had songs featured on NETFLIX’ FIREFLY LANE, ABC’s SCRUBS, MTV, and VH-1. As a composer, Rivera has a unique ability to incorporate a large diversity of musical influences into his captivating compositions, which reflect his multi-cultural upbringing in Central America and the United States. He has served as Composer-in-Residence with the Miami Symphony Orchestra and was a musical consultant for “Invitation to World Literature,” an educational series funded by the Annenberg Foundation and produced by WGBH and is a sought out guest composer and lecturer throughout the globe. He is also Assistant Professor and Director of the Media Writing and Production Program at the acclaimed Frost School of Music at the University of Miami, Carlos first met Oscar-nominated film/TV maker Scott Frank over 15 years ago when Scott responded to an ad for music lessons that Carlos had posted at a local Pasadena music store. What started as guitar lessons grew into a years-long friendship, and eventually led to an amazing collaborative partnership beyond the composer’s wildest dreams. Their first collaboration was on the action-drama feature, A Walk Among the Tombstones, starring Liam Neeson. Carlos went on to score Scott’s western drama series GODLESS, for which he won a Primetime Emmy for his "Main Title Theme" and also earned a nomination for his score. Their third and latest collaboration is the Netflix limited series THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT. The psychological drama series is based on the novel of the same name by Walter Tevis and follows an orphan in late-1950s Kentucky named Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) who discovers she has an incredible talent for chess. In October 2020, for the CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO NETWORK, Jason Drury talked to Carlos Rafael Rivera via Zoom at his home in Miami, Florida. During the interview, they talked extensively about his score for THE QUEEN'S GAMBIT, his working relationship with Scott Frank and of his other two collaborations with Frank; A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES and GODLESS. Also during the show, you will be hearing music from all 3 productions but extensively from The Queen Gambit, without doubt, one of the best scores of 2020.

Madeleine was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma at age 16 when a tumour was found in her left ankle. She ultimately won her year-long battle with cancer, but not before earning a few battle scars, including the amputation of her left leg. While studying voice at the University of Miami's Frost School of Music, Ruff began penning fan- favourites like “Close the Door” and “Don't Fall”, the title track to her debut album. Her experiences during cancer treatment provided the inspiration for another favourite on the album: the emotionally charged “Tell Me Not to Worry”, which she began writing during a fever-ridden drive to the hospital. As a two-time cancer survivor and amputee, Ruff performs on a high-heeled prosthetic leg that she jokingly refers to as her “Barbie foot.” Ruff's confidence, maturity, and sense of humour shine in her songs. The Daily Freeman counted Don't Fall among the top ten regional albums of 2013. With her follow-up album, Maddy makes one thing clear: whether it's cancer or dating in New York, she's Over It. Maddy is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter with the no-nonsense sass of a true New Yorker. As a Broadway Baby born and raised in Manhattan, Ruff's musical influences come from all over the proverbial map. Although Ruff has a penchant for rock and roll, it won't surprise you that she has a background in both jazz and opera as well. As frontwoman of her band, The Ruff Riders, Ruff draws comparisons to the emotion and beefy musicality of Amy Winehouse and Fiona Apple. Ruff's old school, bluesy vocals blended with modern writing create a truly unique sound.

Today, I speak with composer Jim Stephenson.  Among many other topics, we discuss his transition from performer to full-time composer, why it's important to look inside and listen to our instinct, why we need to have the right mindset in building a career we love, and how to harness focus in our work.   Jim's story is a testament to the incredible things that can happen when one follows a calling and takes a leap of faith forward.  His approach to following a path is highly inspirational and I know you'll love this discussion!  (Not only that, but Jim graciously agreed to let me use his Concerto #1 for Trumpet and Chamber Orchestra as the Mind Over Finger Podcast's musical theme!  So his music has been greeting you at the beginning and end of each episode of the podcast!) We elaborate on: His journey, from trumpet player to composer How and why he got started composing How he moved forward with his new career Why it's important to look inside and listen to our instinct Why we need to have the right mindset in regards to building a career we love How we are in charge of defining our lives and creating the passionate story that we want to tell Why it's important to be genuine His compositional process How he has the audience and musicians in mind when he writes How he learns his best lessons from performances of his works How he harnesses focus in the work studio The importance of figuring out when you do your best work and how to organize your day in a way that suits you Why good stage presence is important   ABOUT JIM: Website: https://composerjim.com YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC18hLfX0xDhRkaUaRcKyiUA Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/Stephenson-Music-95151931586/ Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/composerjim/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/ComposerJim   Leading American orchestras, instrumentalists, and wind ensembles around the world have performed the music of Chicago based composer James M. Stephenson, both to critical acclaim and the delight of audiences.  The Boston Herald raved about “straightforward, unabashedly beautiful sounds,” suggesting “Stephenson deserves to be heard again and again!”  A formal sense of melody and tonality characterize his music, each embedded in a contemporary soundscape.  These qualities, coupled with the composer's keen ability to write to each occasion, have led to a steady stream of commissions and ongoing projects. Other upcoming premieres also include his 3rd symphony in April at the Frost School at University of Music, a piece based on model trains for the River Oaks Chamber Orchestra in February, and a multi-media tone poem for the Quad City Symphony also in April. Additionally, Compose Yourself!, Stephenson's landmark young-audience work has now been performed over 300 times since its creation in 2002, engaging children in New Zealand and Canada and across the U.S. Additional  premieres include Carnegie Hall in May, 2017 (Chamber Music Charleston) and in the summer, 2017, a Music Academy of the West premiere of “Martha Uncaged” – with the composer conducting – and a west-coast premiere of his violin concerto at the famed Cabrillo Music Festival. The 2017-18 season will see a new “Low brass concerto” with the Minnesota Orchestra and Osmo Vänskä. The Devil's Tale (2013), a sequel to Stravinsky's famous “Soldier's Tale” has become a highlight of Stephenson's extensive chamber music output, having already garnered much critical praise for its recent recording (“a most remarkable work” – Fanfare Magazine) and numerous performances, including at noteworthy venues such as Ravinia and Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center. James M. Stephenson came late to his full-time composing career, having first earned a degree from the New England Conservatory in trumpet performance, and then going on to perform 17 seasons in the Naples Philharmonic in Florida.  As such, the composer is largely self-taught, making his voice truly individual and his life's work all the more remarkable.  Colleagues and friends encouraged his earliest efforts and enthusiasm followed from all directions.  As his catalog grew, so did his reputation.  That catalog now boasts concertos and sonatas for nearly every instrument, earning him the moniker “The Concerto King” from Chicago Symphony clarinetist John Yeh.  The vast majority of those compositions came through commissions by and for major symphony principal players, in Chicago, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Minnesota, Washington DC, St. Louis, Oregon, Milwaukee, and Dallas, among others.  A major break came from the Minnesota Commissioning Club, which led to two works (violin concertos) receiving premieres in 2012—by Jennifer Frautschi with the Minnesota Orchestra under Osmo Vänskä and by Alex Kerr with the Rhode Island Philharmonic under Larry Rachleff.  Other international soloists for whom Stephenson has composed include saxophonist Branford Marsalis and trumpeter Rex Richardson, whose concerto has been performed on five continents.  With such prolific output, Stephenson's music is well represented in recordings.  Nearly all of his solo brass works (over 50) have been professionally recorded, and in total, his extensive catalog for all instruments can be heard on over 30 CDs. James Stephenson is also a highly sought-after arranger and conductor, rounding out his constantly busy schedule.  His arrangements have been performed/recorded/broadcast by virtually every major orchestra in the country, including the Boston Pops, Cincinnati Pops, New York Pops and more.  On the podium, Stephenson has led orchestras in Chattanooga, Bozeman, Charleston, Ft. Myers, Modesto, and Wyoming, in addition to numerous concert bands.  With the Lake Forest Symphony, near his Illinois home, he has not only conducted but also has served for seven years as Composer-in-Residence. Jim originally hails from the Greater Chicago area, as does his wife Sally.  In 2007 the couple, along with their four children, returned to the region to pursue the life they now share.   If you enjoyed the show, please leave a review on iTunes!  I truly appreciate your support!

Lectures might be a great way to teach people about things, but they aren’t a great way to teach people to do things. At the Frost School of Music the faculty has reinvented how musicians are prepared by designing a rigorous program that nurtures risk-taking, creative thinking, and performance. Learn why educators from across the country are traveling to Miami to see the only school taking this groundbreaking approach. Hear about alums who are better able to create music collaboratively, take risks, and navigate the world to get their music heard. This new approach to teaching has implications beyond music as leaders in every industry continue to press for teamwork, innovative problem solving, and creativity to ensure our successful future.

In this episode, I'm chatting with music therapist Kimberly Sena Moore. Kimberly talks about how she and her family navigated 5 years of major transitions, her role as a music therapist in the academic setting, and her approach to parenting as a full-time working mom. Kimberly is a board certified music therapist who joined the University of Miami's Frost School of Music in Fall 2014 as an Assistant Professor of Practice and Clinical Training Director. Through her role as Regulatory Affairs Associate for the Certification Board for Music Therapists, she is involved in state-level advocacy, legislative, and policy issues affecting music therapy practice. Online, Dr. Sena Moore co-hosts the Music Therapy Round Table podcast, and blogs at “Your Musical Self” for Psychology Today and Music Therapy Maven. Her clinical and research interests center on music therapy and emotion regulation development in neurodevelopmentally at-risk children.

In the current violinist-eat-violinist atmosphere for graduates of conservatories and university music schools, some institutions of higher musical learning are trying to bring academic training closer to the realities of the job market. "Curricula that might have been relevant in 1890 or 1990 might not be as relevant today,” Richard Kessler, dean of the Mannes College, The New School for Music, explains in this Conducting Business podcast. Mannes, one of New York’s three big conservatories, is in the process of revamping its entire curriculum, adding required courses in music entrepreneurship along with studies in technology, composition and improvisation. It is aligning itself more closely with its parent institution, the New School, while scaling back traditional music theory and history coursework. The idea: to broaden the range of skills music students have to compete in the real world. “If you’re really committed to learning, you can assess these programs, no matter how traditional, no matter how long-standing and in some cases no matter how revered,” Kessler added. New for-profit models are also being explored. The University of Miami’s Frost School of Music and Universal Music Classics, the world’s largest recording label, last month announced a partnership designed to “grow the next generation” of classical music artists and audiences. A new curriculum requires all of the school’s undergraduates, regardless of major, to take classes in music business, technology and entrepreneurship. Elizabeth Sobol, the president and CEO of Universal Classics, said that the venture "addresses a bigger problem we’re having right now: we’re not training the next generation of industry impresarios and industry business leaders." Conservatories, she said, are also not reflecting a growing desire for nontraditional concert experiences in spaces like bars, clubs and parks. Performance opportunities for classically-trained musicians have long been limited in a pop culture world. A 2010 study by Indiana University underscored that point, finding that 49 percent of recent music conservatory alumni are doing work “somewhat” or “closely” related to their training, while just 19 percent spend “a majority of their work time as musicians.” But curricular reform can be difficult for tradition-bound conservatories, where elite private teachers have considerable clout and a business course may seem like a distraction. What's more, young artists may not have an aptitude for formulating marketing plans or booking tour dates. David Cutler, author of The Savvy Musician, and director of music entrepreneurship at the University of South Carolina, argues that there are ways to fold entrepreneurial training into an existing school curriculum. “An example of this might be the traditional degree recital,” he explained. Most undergraduate performance majors are required to do a recital as a requirement for their degrees. "If it’s important for us to attract new audiences, maybe we can use this as a playground for doing actually that. So perhaps part of the recital requirement might be: you need to get 200 people there to get an A, or 150 people there to get a B." Students might also be graded on how they can rethink the presentation to include multimedia or other visual elements. Cutler added, “There’s some good news here in that more schools are changing their model to include more 21st century skills.” Listen to the full segment above and tell us what you think in the comments box below: How should conservatories better prepare students for the realities of the job market?
