Podcast appearances and mentions of George Lewis

Send us a textWe are joined by vocalist Sam McCauley and bassist George Lewis of British rock upstarts Oversize, as they gear up for the release of their highly anticipated debut album, Vital Signs. Since their formation in 2019, the band has spent six years carving out their identity, culminating in a milestone moment—signing with the renowned SharpTone Records. The excitement surrounding their debut is palpable, blending nerves and anticipation with the confidence of a band ready to make its mark. Drawing inspiration from the raw energy of '90s grunge and alternative rock, Oversize injects their own modern edge into a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. If there's a blueprint for a debut album, Vital Signs may have just set the standard. Tune in now as we dive into the band's journey, and be sure to buy and stream Vital Signs, out February 28 via SharpTone Records. Stay connected with Oversize, visit: https://www.instagram.com/oversizeband/, https://www.facebook.com/oversizeband/, and https://sharptonerecords.co/collections/oversizeStay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

Wednesday, February 5 -  Host and American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan www.eastleighfarm.com shares the news affecting small farmers in America, including the news that eggs have become political as the price continues to go up, yet the farmers are receiving even less of that money, and a focus on the Avian Flu and how that's also affecting the price and availability of eggs. Poultry farmers are being asked to tighten bio-security, a conversation on tax season. Doug discusses that, too. Then, we're introduced to George Lewis, President of Ventura Grain, a hometown store for everything lawn and garden serving the southeastern, MA, for over 90 years. George, grew up on a “gentlemen's farm,” studied at Bentley University with degrees in finance, economics, and earth sciences & sustainability before pursuing a post-college career as a private wealth advisor. Deciding to return to his agricultural roots, George purchased a 100-year-old grain mill. Ventura Grain continues to manufacture and sell their own brand of animal feed with a focus on quality. You can find George and his company online at VenturaGrainInc.com. Lastly, Farmer Doug opines ear tags for cattle, the modernization of the Dept. of Ag, and the Senate's agenda regarding climate change. Doug covers that, too. Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.comSocial Media: @GoodDayNetworks

The quintessential moment of a jazz funeral is the playing of “Just a Closer Walk to Thee.” Some say this custom goes all the back to early days of the New Orleans music scene nearly a century and half ago. It's a lovely story… and, well, untrue.The jazzman most associated with playing this beautiful song — New Orleans' legendary clarinetist George Lewis — revealed the tune actually has a much more recent history, one in which a barroom jukebox plays a prominent role.“The first time I played it was in the The Eureka Band” in 1942, Lewis told his biographer Tom Bethell. “We heard it on a music box, and a woman asked us to play it for a funeral” for her murdered husband.The MurderThe victim in this story, said Lewis, was in an uptown bar in one of New Orleans' rougher neighborhoods known as “The Battlefield.” He was just putting a nickel in the jukebox when someone stabbed him in the back.When the widow later learns that the song the poor man wanted to hear on that fateful evening was the new Sister Rosetta Tharpe recording of “Just a Closer Walk with Thee,” she asked George Lewis's band to play it at his funeral.Before that time, Lewis said, the tune was not known in New Orleans; however, after The Eureka Brass Band's performance, bands have been playing it at funerals ever since.The Song's Story“Just a Closer Walk with Thee” is a surprisingly modern song. It was published in 1940 in Chicago by Kenneth Morris, though Morris never claimed to have actually written the melody. In his book The Golden Age of Gospel, Horace Clarence Boyer tells how Morris was riding a train from Kansas City to Chicago. Along the way, he stepped off at one of the stops for some fresh air; while there, Morris heard a station porter singing a song. “He paid little attention at first,” Boyer wrote, “but after he re-boarded the train, the song remained with him. It became so prominent in his mind that at the next stop, he left the train, took another train back to the earlier station and asked the porter to sing the song again.”Morris wrote down the words and music — later adding a few lyrics of his own to provide more breadth — and published “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” that same year.RecordingsThe first known recording was by the Selah Jubilee Singers for Decca Records on Oct. 8, 1941.It didn't take long, though, for the song to get a jazzier treatment. Two months later, also for Decca, Rosetta Tharpe waxed the disc that would wind up on a jukebox in New Orleans and change George Lewis's life. After Lewis recorded it on his 1943 New Orleans Stompers album, “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” became his most requested tune for the remaining 25 years of his life.Our Take on the TuneRecently when Danny Cox read here how The Flood played “Just a Closer Walk with Thee” at a friend's memorial service 20 years ago, he said, “Why don't we do that song anymore?” Well, why indeed? So lately the guys have been dusting it off and just listen to the soulful, sassy spin the lads have put on it. Here's a take from last week's rehearsal.More Churchy Stuff, You Say?If this week's selection has you in the mood for a little more of The Flood's brand of reverence, you might enjoy the “Gospel Hour” playlist on the free Radio Floodango music streaming service.Click here to read all about it.

Der New Yorker Komponist, Theoretiker und Kurator George Lewis ist ein Wegbereiter in der Dekolonisation der zeitgenössischen Musik. 1952 geboren öffnete er seit den achtziger Jahren den Blick auf postkoloniale Strukturen im klassischen Musikbetrieb. Pionier der interaktiven Computermusik dreht sich sein kompositorisches Werk um Technologie, Improvisation, Race und Identity. Interdisziplinäre Kompositionen, interaktive Musikvideos oder intermediale Installationen gehören genauso sehr dazu, wie Werke für Kammermusik, grosses Orchester oder Oper, meist in Kombination mit Computer und Improvisation. Seit 2004 Professor an der New Yorker Columbia University, trägt Lewis mit Texten wie seiner Handlungsanweisung «Acht schwierige Schritte zur Dekolonisation Neuer Musik» oder «Composing while black – afrodiasporische Neue Musik heute» laufend zur Erweiterung der weiss dominierten Musikgeschichte bei, hin zu einer globaleren Perspektive. George Lewis im Gespräch zu seinem Werk, zu Dekolonisation der zeitgenössischen Musik und zur Musikavantgarde der Afrodiaspora. Erstausstrahlung: 09.08.2023

Our fifth season of "Science Straight Up" kicks off with Dr. Michael Wasielewski of Northwestern University talking about the basics of quantum theory and how it will change our lives.  We can't beam people aboard the starship just yet, but teleportation of information using quantum techniques is happening right now. Many of us have heard about quantum computers and some of the amazing things that they will do, literally a “quantum leap” in performance. However, this is not the whole story. The quantum world and innovative technologies being developed from it will significantly enhance secure communications and be capable of sensing single atoms and molecules, even when they are within living cells. How does this work? Dr Wasielewski has some answers.  Our session was moderated by veteran broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.

Amina Claudine Myers was one of the earliest members of the AACM, and if you're listening to this podcast, I'm pretty sure you know what the AACM is, but just in case you don't, the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians is an organization formed by Muhal Richard Abrams, Roscoe Mitchell and a few other musicians in Chicago in the mid-1960s. A tremendous number of the most important avant-garde jazz musicians of the mid to late 20th century and the 21st century have come out of the AACM, including Anthony Braxton, Henry Threadgill, Fred Anderson, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Wadada Leo Smith, Matana Roberts, Nicole Mitchell, Tomeka Reid, and Amina Claudine Myers. There's a tremendous book by trombonist and composer George Lewis, called A Power Stronger Than Itself, that's the best possible introduction to the group. You should absolutely read that if you're a fan of any of the musicians I just named.Now, all the founders and early members of the AACM worked together, supporting each other, and moving the music forward in large part by composing and performing original work. What's interesting — and this is something we talk about in this conversation — is that Amina Claudine Myers' early albums included some original music, but they also included interpretations of other people's compositions, specifically Marion Brown and Bessie Smith. But she always paired that music up with pieces of her own that demonstrated a really fascinating compositional voice that was a combination of jazz, gospel, blues, and classical music. She took all her influences and early training and combined them into something that sounded like nobody else out there, and was incredibly powerful.In addition to making her own records, she's been a part of albums by Lester Bowie, Henry Threadgill, Muhal Richard Abrams, Anthony Braxton, Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre, Bill Laswell, and many other people. Her latest release is a collection of duos with Wadada Leo Smith, the first time they've recorded together since 1969, and their first collaboration as leaders.I'm really glad I had the chance to interview her. We talked about a lot of things — the AACM, the role of spirituality in music and the way the term spiritual jazz is used to gatekeep certain things, her work with all the artists I just mentioned, her upbringing in Arkansas and Texas and how it influenced her writing... this is a really wide-ranging conversation that I think will be really interesting for you to hear. I thank you as always for listening.

Wie entscheiden Sie, welche Musik Ihnen gefällt? In der Regel ist es so, dass sich unsere musikalischen Vorlieben und Präferenzen auf bereits bestehendem Wissen entwickeln, auf Forschung und Recherchen von anderen. Wenn sich ein Werk oder eine Komposition im sogenannten Kanon durchgesetzt haben, dann sind sie da und eigentlich auch nicht mehr wegzudenken. Wer aber schreibt diesen Kanon? Welche Leerstellen gibt es, die zu füllen sind? Oder gibt es auch andere Perspektiven auf Musikgeschichtsschreibung? Den Musiker, Musikwissenschaftler, Buchautor Harald Kisiedu bewegen solche Fragen. Seit vielen Jahren beschäftigt er sich mit Komponistinnen und Komponisten afrikanischen Ursprungs, sein Fachgebiet ist also die sogenannte "afrodiasporische Neue Musik". Kisiedu beobachtet im klassischen Musik-Establishment eine Schieflage, zeitgenössische Musik werde als "weißes Feld" konstruiert. Darüber schreibt er in seinem Buch "Composing While Black" und wirbt für ein Umdenken im Musikbetrieb. Harald Kisiedu selbst hat in New York studiert, dort seine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn begonnen, ist als Saxophonist mit legendären Jazzmusikern wie Branford Marsalis, George Lewis oder Henry Grimes aufgetreten. Kisiedu lebt heute in Hamburg, unterrichtete Jazzgeschichte und Musikwissenschaft an Hochschulen in Osnabrück oder Leipzig. Über sein Leben und Werk, über Musik und Jazz spricht er mit Charlotte Oelschlegel in "NDR Kultur à la carte".

Karen Gregory had just taken the next big step to moved in with her boyfriend. While he was away on a business trip out of state, she was going to spend the time unpacking and settling in to their new home. When Karen failed to answer the phone or contact him for nearly two days, he began to worry and called friends, family and a friendly neighbor.  That neighbor was the first to discover Karen's body and call first responders, or was she? It was another neighbor, George Lewis, that investigators inevitably had to set their sights on despite not wanting to believe the fireman and neighborhood watch leader could be responsible. However, he insisted that all he was guilty of was panic and making a bad decision not to call authorities. Join us as Savannah shares this story of a not so watchful neighborhood and learns what the Florida panhandle is while Elysia shares her deep fear of central Florida.

In this episode, I sit down with Steve Lehman, visionary alto saxophonist and composer, to discuss his project "Ex Machina," a collaboration with the grammy-nominated Orchestre National de Jazz (ONJ). We talk in detail about his approach to composing and how the process varies according to the size of the group he's composing for—big bands versus quartets—and how he writes for other musicians so that they can shine while leaving space for his own solos. We compare classical to jazz and their differing approaches to improvisation, as well as improv in general, exemplified in his latest work, an interweaving of forms and patterns. Last but not least, we discuss his musical influences, including trombonist George Lewis and alto saxophonist Jackie McLean, with whom he studied for several years."Ex Machina" releases September 15, 2023MUSICIANS-Steve Lehman - alto saxophone, electronicsJonathan Finlayson - trumpetChris Dingman - vibraphoneMembers of Orchestre National de JazzFrédéric Maurin - direction, electronicsFanny Ménégoz - flute, alto flute, piccoloCatherine Delaunay - clarinet, basset hornJulien Soro - tenor saxophone, clarinetFabien Debellefontaine - baritone saxophone, clarinet, fluteFabien Norbert - trumpet, flugelhornDaniel Zimmermann - tromboneChristiane Bopp - tromboneFanny Meteier - tubaBruno Ruder - piano, synthesizerStéphan Caracci - vibraphone, marimba, glockenspiel, percussion, synthesizerRafaël Koerner - drumsSarah Murcia - double bassJérôme Nika - generative electronics creation & artistic collaborationDionysios Papanikolaou - IRCAM electronicshttps://www.stevelehman.com/

Cancer biopsies are scary. The patient gets tissue removed from his or her body, the sample gets sent off to the lab and then there's the agonizing wait for the results.  Dr. Stephen Boppart of the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, both a physician and an engineer, is working on instant biopsies that will produce results in minutes. Using laser light and artificial intelligence, Dr. Boppart and his colleagues have been able to identify cancers early and accurately. Moreover, this technique promises to identify conditions in the body that might lead to future cancers by looking at tiny vesicles, liquid-filled sacs that act as messengers.  His "Town Talk" sponsored by Telluride Science, was recorded at the Telluride Mountain Village Conference Center in Colorado.  The program was moderated by veteran broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.

Our experience with mRNA vaccines during the COVID pandemic showed us the possibility of  designing other RNA-based drugs in a flexible and efficient manner.

American agriculture contributes about 10 percent of this country's greenhouse gas emissions, but done right, it can absorb rather than produce carbon and help overcome the problem of man-made climate change.  This exciting possibility is the subject of a Telluride Science panel moderated by Adam Chambers of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.  Panelists include Tony and Barclay Daranyi, who practice regenerative agriculture at their farm 33 miles northwest of Telluride; Chris Hazen, from the San Miguel County Payment for Ecosystem Services Program and Cindy Lair, deputy director of the Colorado STAR (Saving Tomorrow's Agricultural Resources) program.Our podcast is hosted by award-winning broadcast journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.

We've long thought that aging was just a part of life but now science is beginning to view aging as a disease that can be treated. This, as research on aging is exploding and some scientists speculate people could live 150 years or more.  Our aging expert, Dr. Kristin Slade, Associate Professor of Chemistry at Hobart and William Smith Colleges in upstate New York says, "We already know what is going on with aging at the people level, but I was determined to get inside the cell and discover what was going on at the molecular level.” Indeed, that could be the key to slowing down the aging process. She spoke before an audience at the Conference Center in Mountain Village, Colorado and the discussion was moderated by noted journalists Judy Muller and George Lewis.

This is what you do when you have a strange name and need everyone to remember you. Don't be a little weird, stand on the edge of absurd. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not so secret techniques that took famous businesses from mom and pop to major brands. Stephen Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector, and storyteller. I'm Stephen's sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today's episode, a word from our sponsor, which is... Well, it's us, but we're highlighting ads we've written and produced for our clients. So here's one of those. [No Bull RV Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast. Dave Young and Steve Semple here. Stephen, you told me the topic today, and it was sort of the joke of a lot of standup comedians, I think, in the '70s because the brand had started growing and people are like, "What is a Nauga?" And I'm talking about Naugahyde. You mentioned that today's subject is Naugahyde, and it's sort of ubiquitous anymore. It's sort of an old-timey joke now, but it was a thing and it ended up being kind of a big deal. So what is a Nauga? Stephen Semple: This is going to be a bit of a fun one. So Naugahyde is a brand of artificial leather. It's basically vinyl. It's composed of a knit fabric and expanded polyvinyl chloride PVC coating. And it was developed by Byron Hunter, who was a senior chemist at United States Rubber, and it's now made by a spinoff of Uniroyal. It was invented in 1914, and it was the first rubber-based artificial leather ever made. The name was trademarked in 1936, and comes from where it was first produced, which is Naugatuck, Connecticut. So that's the reason why they decided to use the great name Naugahyde. It's such a good name, right? Dave Young: That's our episode. Thanks for listening. Stephen Semple: So Naugahyde is mainly used for furniture. It's easy to clean, long-lasting, and also you find it in car seats. But in 1960, competition started to rise in the vinyl furniture area. So they wanted to create a campaign to separate Naugahyde from the competition. So Uniroyal hired George Lewis and designer Kurt Wells. So here's the challenge that they looked at. They said, "Naugahyde, it's a hard name. What the heck are we going to do with this?" Dave Young: They named it in the 1930s? Stephen Semple: 1936. Dave Young: Okay. And when did they hire this designer? Stephen Semple: Early 1960s. Dave Young: They went 30 years just saying Naugahyde. Stephen Semple: Right. Essentially in the early days, they didn't have much competition. There weren't other people making it. So it was sort of one of those ones. You're the only game in town, or you're the largest game in town. And then all of a sudden, other people started getting into the turf, and so they wanted to separate from it. So what George and Kurt did was they created a fictional character called the Nauga, and the hide of a Nauga is Naugahyde. Here's the thing I found that was funny about it. Nauga's easy to remember, and as soon as you think about that, all of a sudden Naugahyde becomes easy, because it's a hide of a Nauga. And the Nauga is a colorful, horned, happy looking creature who's native to the island of Sumatra, and was once hunted close to extinction. But hunting them for their hide is unnecessary because they painlessly shed their skin once a year. That's the story they created. Dave Young: Of course it is. I don't know. There's probably no way to prove this, but I'll bet you that the jokes about Naugahyde preceded that story. They probably just leaned into the story and because if this thing called Naugahyde existed and there wasn't that story, you would be talking about, "Ha. We're sitting on a Naugahyde booth in a restaurant. I wonder how many Naugas had to die to make this booth." All of those jokes would've been there already.

The Wall Street Journal says, “George Lois is the one the only prodigy or fathead, founder of agencies, creator of Legends, George Lewis is a genuine advertising superhero”. George Lois is well known if not famous for designing culture, changing cover images for Esquire magazine, and his “call your cable company and tell them I want my MTV”. That campaign made the music video category and made MTV the Category King. In his life and career, he broke every rule, created legendary categories and brands, and he did it in a brash, bold, exciting way. Sadly, we recently lost this legend at 91 years old. George Lois died just three months after his beloved wife, Rosemary died. And he is one of my heroes, a man that so many of us in marketing owe so much. And yet, most young people in entrepreneurship, marketing and creative endeavors and design. Don't really know of him. But if you've ever done anything in entrepreneurship in category design or marketing, that breaks boundaries, you're following in George's footsteps, and you might not even know it. Today, let's dig into some of George's life's teachings. Because if you want to become legendary, you have to study the legends. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. George Lois and a Damn Good Advice George Lewis was born in June 1931, and he passed in November 2022. And it is said that in the end, we are all remembered for two dates, and a dash. And I'm here to tell you that George made some legendary shit out of his dash. I want to focus on a book of his called Damn Good Advice for People with Talent, How to unleash your creative potential by America's master communicator, George Lois. If you have not read this book yet, I would suggest you do so. What I want to share with you are some of the learnings from this book – not all of them, but some of them that really have spoken to me over the years and made a big difference for me that I think might make a big difference for you. Force a Choice Idea number one is to Force a Choice. At the very beginning of damn good advice, George says this: “There are only four types of person you can be: one, very bright, industrious, [your perfect]. Two, very bright lazy [a damn shame]. Three, stupid lazy, you'll sit on your ass, so you're a wash. And four, stupid industrious [uh oh, you're dangerous]. If you're a number one or a number two, you'll get a lot out of this book, if you're number three, or number four, why you reading this book?” – George Lois So right off the top and this landmark piece of work by George, he's doing what legendary brands do, which is they attract who they are for, and they repel who they are against. Legendary brands force a choice, not a comparison. And best I can tell, that's how George lived his life. You are who you are Big Idea number two: Around here, we would express it as Follow Your Different. In George words, he writes: “Whether you're male, female, black, Hispanic, Native American, Asian, ethnic, or gay, and wherever you work, you are who you are. And that's what you are, and be damn proud of it. Don't change your name. Don't change your accent, don't change your heritage, don't denigrate a humble upbringing. Be true to yourself, and you'll ring true to the world.” – George Lois To learn more about the different teachings of George Lois, download and listen to this episode.

Like Caligula declaring war on Neptune and ordering his troops to charge into the Mediterranean Sea, our technological masters are designing neural networks meant to capture the human soul in all its oceanic complexity. According to the cognitive scientist Abeba Birhane, this is a fool's errand that we undertake at our peril. In her paper "The Impossibility of Automating Ambiguity," she makes the case for the irremediable fluidity, spontaneity, and relationality of people and societies. She argues that ongoing efforts to subsume the human (and the rest of reality) in predictive algorithms is actually narrowing the human experience, as so many of us are excluded from the system while others are compelled to artificially conform to its idea of the human. Far from paving the way to a better world, the tyranny of automation threatens to cut us off from the Real, ensuring an endless perpetuation of the past with all its errors and injustices. Phil and JF discuss Birhane's essay in this episode. Header image from via www.vpnsrus.com (cropped).
