I dette afsnit har Henrik Queitsch og Klaus Lynggaard fået besøg af guitarist og komponist Anna Roemer. Hun er netop aktuel med sin anden sololade 'Blåregn', og kendes derudover fra bandet KALEIIDO. Anna Roemers medbragte spilleliste gemmer på mange overraskelser, og byder på både nye og gamle kendinger. Et gennemgående er dog guitaren, som spiller en stor rolle i flere af numrene.”Ord og tekster er selvfølgelig vanvittige vigtige. Men fordi jeg aldrig selv har skrevet tekster, er musikkens kanal for mig, primært det instrumentale, og de her signaturriffs synes jeg er helt vildt spændende. At man kan høre 15-20 sekunder af et nummer og med det samme vide hvad der er tale om.” fortæller Anna Roemer om de mange riffs der kan høres i dagens episode.Værter: Henrik Queitsch og Klaus LynggardKlip og Produktion: Mathilde Cortese RetsboSpilleliste: Anna Roemer: ”Blåregn” (Blåregn, 2024)Gasolin: ”Stakkels Jim” (Stakkels Jim, 1974)Paul Simon: “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes” (Graceland, 1986)The Beatles: “I Want You (She's so Heavy)” (Abbey Road, 1969)Led Zeppelin: “Bron-Yr-Aur” (Physical Graffiti, 1975)Lenny Kravitz: “Are You Gonna Go My Way” (Are You Gonna Go My Way, 1993)Red Hot Chili Peppers: “Suck My Kiss” (Blood Sugar Sex Magick, 1991)Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderly: “The Old Country” (Nancy Wilson/ Cannonball Adderly, 1962)Wes Montgomery: “Misty” (Live at the Half Note, 1965)Suicide: “Ghost Rider” (Suicide, 1977)Danger Mouse, Daniele Luppi feat.

Adam sat down with drummer Jay Epstein, who has been a full time drummer since the late 1960s when he toured with the band Gypsy and rubbed shoulders with people in the Southern California Rock scene like Jimmy Hendricks while going out to see bands with players like Chick Corea, Freddie Hubbard and Miles Davis on his off nights. Adam and Jay talk about the economics of being a full time, life-long musician. Jay gives us three things young musicians should be thinking about as they start their careers, and his three "desert island" albums.Jay also tells a beautiful story of the impact of hearing John Coltrane as a 17 year old kid that is not to be missed.-----------------------Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@HowMusiciansMakeIt/videos-----------------------Gypsy band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-vK3TTHWpMJay's Desert Island Albums:1.

There are times we come across a song or rhyme we know students would enjoy, but we might not be sure where it fits in the curriculum. How can we step back and imagine musical possibilities? What if we were to treat songs like musical prompts? In this post we talked about some ways to explore one rhyme with several different pedagogical lenses. Today we'll do the same for a song, Sea Shell. Here's an example of how one song might be used for three different pedagogical outcomes and three different age groups. This also shows how we might approach the song in different areas of learning: The first activities are for students who don't know the song. The next two, it's expected that students would know the song already. The 2nd grade activities are in preparation, before students are aware of the notation and label for half note. The 3rd grade activities are in practice, after students consciously know low sol. Each grade objective includes student choice in the activities.Let's jump in! The SongThis song is sourced from the collection at Holy Names University. Echo Singing & Vocal ExplorationKindergarten / 1st Grade This activity is designed for young musical learners in the early grades. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperienceThis activity doesn't require any previous knowledge or experience! Consider using this as an introduction to vocal exploration and add it to your collection of echo songs. Learning Experiences Experience #1: IntroduceIn this first learning experience, the teacher introduces the song through movement and active listening. Seated, the teacher sings the song and leads students in swaying side to side as they listen. In between rounds of the song, the teacher asks questions: “What is our song about?” “What do you think the sea shell is singing about?” “Wait, can sea shells actually sing?”Sing while moving hands like the waves of the ocean, showing the melodic contour of the song. Students echo each four-beat phrase with ocean movements.Sea shell, sea shell (sea shell sea shell), Sing a song for me (sing a song for me) Experience #2: Ocean Movements In this second experience, students extend their ocean movements and continue echoing the song. This learning experience is primarily a review and reinforcement of the previous class, giving students more opportunities to listen and move to the song.Review the previous class: Sing while moving hands like the waves of the ocean, showing the melodic contour of the song. Students echo each four-beat phrase with ocean movements.Sea shell, sea shell (sea shell sea shell), Sing a song for me (sing a song for me) “What if you could make your ocean movements while standing on your spot?” Repeat the activity with students echo singing and showing the melodic contour with stationary movement Experience #3: Whole-Class Pitch Exploration There are many possibilities for the pitch exploration here! Feel free to write your own on the board. Echo sing and move to the song as review “What do you think the sea shell's song sounded like?” Show several options of melodic contour on the board, and lead students in performing with vocals and movementsExperience #4: Partner Pitch Exploration Students have sung the song and explored many examples of pitch exploration. Now it's time for them to create their own sea shell songs. Asking for four different options encourages students to invent variations, instead of stopping after one idea.Echo sing and move to the song as review Review pitch exploration ideas on the board With their shoulder partner, students use a piece of yarn to create their own vocal explorations Ask students to come up with four different options Students take turns sharing their ideas with the class Half Note & Form 2nd Grade Many music curricula explore one sound over two beats in the 2nd grade year. The ocean theme of this song can make it convenient for exploring elongated sounds, like ocean waves. We can also experiment with the form of the song. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperiencePrevious Knowledge: Before this activity, students should have conscious knowledge of steady beat, quarter notes, and eighth notes. Even though the activity focuses on one sound over two beats, students don't need to have conscious knowledge of half notes. In future classes, students will be introduced to the half note vocabulary and symbol we'll use in this class. Previous Experience: Students should have plenty of independent and collaborative experiences singing, playing instruments, speaking, moving, reading, writing, improvising, arranging, and aurally identifying the rhythmic set listed in the knowledge section above. For these activities, students should have heard the song before, though it does not need to be memorized for the first learning experiences. Learning ExperiencesExperience #1: Rhythm Movement In this first learning experience, students use movement to show the duration of the rhythm. This happens as a whole class at first, then with pairs of students. There is an opportunity for formative assessment as students tiptoe, step, and slide with a partner at the end of this experience. The teacher sings the song with movement directions for tiptoe, step, and slide. Students echo sing and move (locomotor or non-locomotor) Step step step step (students echo) Tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide (students echo)Tiptoe tiptoe step step (students echo)Tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide (students echo)The teacher sings the song on text. Students echo sing and move, translating to tiptoe, step, and sliding movements Sea shell sea shell (student sing text and step step step step)Sing a song for me (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide) Sing about the ocean (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe step step) Sing about the sea (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide)Divide the class in half. One half sings and moves first, then pauses for the other partner to sing and echoExperience #2: Aurally Identify The movement work from the previous class is extended here, as the teacher takes away the movement directions and replaces them with an instrument or neutral syllable. Students use their aural awareness to identify one sound that lasts for two beats. Review previous class. Students echo sing the song on text“Let's take out the echo and sing it straight through.” Students sing the song straight through, without echoing.Students sing the whole song and clap the words, remaining seated Seated with their feet in front of them, students sing and put the rhythm of the words in their feetStudents stand, and sing the whole song while tiptoeing and stepping in open space As a B section, the teacher plays four or eight-beat rhythms on a recorder (or sings on a neutral syllable), using a combination of two sounds on a beat, one sound on a beat, or one sound elongated over two beats. Students echo move.Example: ta ta ta-a (students step step sliiiiiiide), ta-di ta-di ta-di ta (tiptoe tiptoe tiptoe step) ta-a ta-di ta (sliiiiiiide tiptoe step) ta-di ta-di ta-a (tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiide)Students sing the song as they tiptoe, step, and slide back to their spots. “How many times do we slide in this song?” Students inner hear and pat a steady beat (we slide two times)“How many sounds do you hear in the word, ‘me'?” (one sound) “How many beats does it last?” Students sing and pat a steady beat (it lasts two beats) Experience #3: Visual & Form Students have identified one sound that lasts for two beats. Now they use their aural awareness and translate it to a visual representation of the rhythm. Iconic notation is used here to show the elongated sound. In later lessons, the label and symbol for a half note may be used. At the end of the learning experience, students mix up the form to create a new order of the song. Review previous experiences as necessary“Which phrases of the song have matching rhythms?” Students sing and pat a steady beat (phrases 2 and 4 have matching rhythms) Help the teacher put the phrases of the song in the correct order. “How do you know this is the correct answer? Talk to your shoulder partner.” Students explain their thinking, then share their answers as time allows “I'm tired of giving the correct answer all the time. Let's mix up the form so it's the incorrect answer.” Mix up the form to create new version of tiptoeing and sliding. Students speak the new combination while moving their feet in front of them (staying seated) or turning their fingers into people and moving on the floor in front of them. Repeat the activity, with students arranging the form for the classStudents repeat the activity with a partner and move around the room to their arrangement. Share combinations as time allows Low Sol & Partwork3rd Grade By the 3rd grade year, many students are ready to work on the extended pentatone, including low sol. As melodic vocabulary grows, students can apply their knowledge to their developing partwork skills. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperiencePrevious Knowledge: Before this activity, students should have conscious knowledge of solfege pitches, do, re, mi, sol, la, low la, low sol. These learning experiences would fall in to the “practice” phase of learning. Previous Experience: This activity is for students who are ready to sing a bass line to a known song. Consider previous experiences students have had with bass lines and partner melodies to prepare them for these experiences. You can find more information about scaffolding vocal partwork skills here. Students should also already know the song for these experiences. Learning ExperiencesThese are adapted from the low sol concept plan in the 2021 - 2022 Planning Binder. Experience #1: Partner Melody & Movement In this learning experience, students listen to the new partner melody with the song. After hearing the melody, students learn it by rote through a combination of movement and aural skills. Aurally decoding the melody is one of the reasons this experience should fall in the practice phase of the learning process. When students have learned the melody, they sing it as the teacher sings the main song. Students walk in a circle, singing the song without teacher assistance“I'll try to mess you up this time. Listen to each other.” The teacher walks inside the circle in the opposite direction, singing the partner melody: Students sit in place. The teacher teaches the partner melody by rote. Students echo sing eight beats at a time, showing the high and low movements of the melodic contour The teacher sings eight beats at a time. Students echo on solfege with Curwen hand signs or with the movements they just created “Hey there, let me hear your song” (do do do do sol sol sol) “Hey there, then we'll sing along” (do do sol sol do do do) Students walk around in a circle, singing the partner melody without teacher assistance. The teacher walks around the inside of the circle singing the main melody of Sea Shell. Experience #2: PartworkThis lesson experience reviews the melody from the previous class, and expands partwork skills. Instead of the teacher singing one part and the whole class singing the other, students work toward partwork interdependence by dividing the partner melody and main melody between half the class. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour. Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsStudents walk around in a circle, singing the partner melody without teacher assistance. The teacher walks around the inside of the circle singing the main melody of Sea Shell. The teacher “tags” a few volunteers to be on the inside circle team and sing the main melody. The rest of the class continues to sing the partner melody. Continue tagging singers until the inside and outside groups are approximately even Experience #3: Transfer to Barred Instruments Students have already aurally identified low sol in the partner melody. When it's time to transfer their understanding to a barred instrument, students use their knowledge of steps and skips to identify low sol and figure out the partner melody by ear. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour.Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsUsing a barred instrument visual on the board, students work with their partner to figure out where do and low sol live if do is F. Students help the teacher notate the melody of the partner song on the boardStudents read the notation on the board, pointing to the notation or pointing to a barred instrument visual With a partner, students sit behind a barred instrument and figure out how to play the partner melody by ear. One partner plays and sings the partner melody. The student without mallets sings the main Sea Shell melody. Switch jobs. When we step back and look at our classroom materials as musical prompts, we see many pedagogical possibilities. Today we looked at how one song might be used for vocal exploration, half notes, and low sol. But there are so many more ways this song might be re-imagined in our teaching. There are many possibilities with one simple musical invitation!

Students echo sing and move (locomotor or non-locomotor) Step step step step (students echo) Tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide (students echo)Tiptoe tiptoe step step (students echo)Tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide (students echo)The teacher sings the song on text. Students echo sing and move, translating to tiptoe, step, and sliding movements Sea shell sea shell (student sing text and step step step step)Sing a song for me (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide) Sing about the ocean (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe step step) Sing about the sea (students sing text and tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiiide)Divide the class in half. One half sings and moves first, then pauses for the other partner to sing and echoExperience #2: Aurally Identify The movement work from the previous class is extended here, as the teacher takes away the movement directions and replaces them with an instrument or neutral syllable. Students use their aural awareness to identify one sound that lasts for two beats. Review previous class. Students echo sing the song on text“Let's take out the echo and sing it straight through.” Students sing the song straight through, without echoing.Students sing the whole song and clap the words, remaining seated Seated with their feet in front of them, students sing and put the rhythm of the words in their feetStudents stand, and sing the whole song while tiptoeing and stepping in open space As a B section, the teacher plays four or eight-beat rhythms on a recorder (or sings on a neutral syllable), using a combination of two sounds on a beat, one sound on a beat, or one sound elongated over two beats. Students echo move.Example: ta ta ta-a (students step step sliiiiiiide), ta-di ta-di ta-di ta (tiptoe tiptoe tiptoe step) ta-a ta-di ta (sliiiiiiide tiptoe step) ta-di ta-di ta-a (tiptoe tiptoe sliiiiiide)Students sing the song as they tiptoe, step, and slide back to their spots. “How many times do we slide in this song?” Students inner hear and pat a steady beat (we slide two times)“How many sounds do you hear in the word, ‘me'?” (one sound) “How many beats does it last?” Students sing and pat a steady beat (it lasts two beats) Experience #3: Visual & Form Students have identified one sound that lasts for two beats. Now they use their aural awareness and translate it to a visual representation of the rhythm. Iconic notation is used here to show the elongated sound. In later lessons, the label and symbol for a half note may be used. At the end of the learning experience, students mix up the form to create a new order of the song. Review previous experiences as necessary“Which phrases of the song have matching rhythms?” Students sing and pat a steady beat (phrases 2 and 4 have matching rhythms) Help the teacher put the phrases of the song in the correct order. “How do you know this is the correct answer? Talk to your shoulder partner.” Students explain their thinking, then share their answers as time allows “I'm tired of giving the correct answer all the time. Let's mix up the form so it's the incorrect answer.” Mix up the form to create new version of tiptoeing and sliding. Students speak the new combination while moving their feet in front of them (staying seated) or turning their fingers into people and moving on the floor in front of them. Repeat the activity, with students arranging the form for the classStudents repeat the activity with a partner and move around the room to their arrangement. Share combinations as time allows Low Sol & Partwork3rd Grade By the 3rd grade year, many students are ready to work on the extended pentatone, including low sol. As melodic vocabulary grows, students can apply their knowledge to their developing partwork skills. Before the Activity: Previous Knowledge and ExperiencePrevious Knowledge: Before this activity, students should have conscious knowledge of solfege pitches, do, re, mi, sol, la, low la, low sol. These learning experiences would fall in to the “practice” phase of learning. Previous Experience: This activity is for students who are ready to sing a bass line to a known song. Consider previous experiences students have had with bass lines and partner melodies to prepare them for these experiences. You can find more information about scaffolding vocal partwork skills here. Students should also already know the song for these experiences. Learning ExperiencesThese are adapted from the low sol concept plan in the 2021 - 2022 Planning Binder. Experience #1: Partner Melody & Movement In this learning experience, students listen to the new partner melody with the song. After hearing the melody, students learn it by rote through a combination of movement and aural skills. Aurally decoding the melody is one of the reasons this experience should fall in the practice phase of the learning process. When students have learned the melody, they sing it as the teacher sings the main song. Students walk in a circle, singing the song without teacher assistance“I'll try to mess you up this time. Listen to each other.” The teacher walks inside the circle in the opposite direction, singing the partner melody: Students sit in place. The teacher teaches the partner melody by rote. Students echo sing eight beats at a time, showing the high and low movements of the melodic contour The teacher sings eight beats at a time. Students echo on solfege with Curwen hand signs or with the movements they just created “Hey there, let me hear your song” (do do do do sol sol sol) “Hey there, then we'll sing along” (do do sol sol do do do) Students walk around in a circle, singing the partner melody without teacher assistance. The teacher walks around the inside of the circle singing the main melody of Sea Shell. Experience #2: PartworkThis lesson experience reviews the melody from the previous class, and expands partwork skills. Instead of the teacher singing one part and the whole class singing the other, students work toward partwork interdependence by dividing the partner melody and main melody between half the class. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour. Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsStudents walk around in a circle, singing the partner melody without teacher assistance. The teacher walks around the inside of the circle singing the main melody of Sea Shell. The teacher “tags” a few volunteers to be on the inside circle team and sing the main melody. The rest of the class continues to sing the partner melody. Continue tagging singers until the inside and outside groups are approximately even Experience #3: Transfer to Barred Instruments Students have already aurally identified low sol in the partner melody. When it's time to transfer their understanding to a barred instrument, students use their knowledge of steps and skips to identify low sol and figure out the partner melody by ear. With a partner, students decide if they'll sing the partner melody on solfege with hand signs, or on text with movement that matches the melodic contour.Seated with their partner, students perform their choice, then switch jobsUsing a barred instrument visual on the board, students work with their partner to figure out where do and low sol live if do is F. Students help the teacher notate the melody of the partner song on the boardStudents read the notation on the board, pointing to the notation or pointing to a barred instrument visual With a partner, students sit behind a barred instrument and figure out how to play the partner melody by ear. One partner plays and sings the partner melody. The student without mallets sings the main Sea Shell melody. Switch jobs. When we step back and look at our classroom materials as musical prompts, we see many pedagogical possibilities. Today we looked at how one song might be used for vocal exploration, half notes, and low sol. But there are so many more ways this song might be re-imagined in our teaching. There are many possibilities with one simple musical invitation!
You might not know Andrew Synowiec's name, but chances are you've heard his guitar playing. Heck, chances are you heard his guitar playing this week.Synowiec makes his living as an LA session guitarist, with a list of credits as long as the California coastline. Among those credits: you can hear him on the score for pretty much every recent Disney film (Frozen, CoCo, Zootopia), as well superhero flicks like Logan and Spider-Man: Far From Home, TV shows like The Simpsons and The Good Place, as well as on records with recording artists like The Who, HAIM, P!nk, Nick Jonas, Donna Summer, and so many more. A couple weeks back, Kirk sat down with Andrew to talk about his career as a session player, how he finds a good balance when doing creative work for hire, his approach to practicing and guitar tone, how he designed and built his home studio, and why he continues to make the time for his own personal music projects.FEATURED/DISCUSSED ON THIS EPISODE:Guy Lacour etude No. 4 as performed by David Hernando Vitores: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyGo9NmZUNwWes Montgomery on “No Blues” from Smokin' at the Half Note w/ the Wynton Kelly Trio, 1965“Where The Streets Have No Name” by U2 from The Joshua Tree, 1987“Sad But True” by Metallica from Metallica, 1991“Blood and Thunder” by Mastodon from Leviathan, 2004“Last Goodbye” by Jeff Buckley from Grace, 1994“Already Taken,” “Second Story,” and “Humor Me” by Andrew Synowiec from Second Story, 2019“Jonkoloni” by Bassekou Kouyate & Ngoni Ba from Segu Blue, 2006, feat. the Ngoni“Salsa Caliente (Versión Aumentada)” by Meridian Brothers from Desperanza, 2012“You Are Young” by Keane from Strangeland, 2012A video with Andrew about his work and his home studioA Spotify playlist Andrew maintains featuring things he's played onAndrew's website, with lots more credits and other infoSTRONG MERCHCheck out the Strong Songs merch store for some cool t-shirts, mugs, totes, and more: store.strongsongspodcast.comJOIN THE STRONG SONGS DISCORDThe Strong Songs Discord server is now open to everyone!

”Smoking“是一种爵士俚语，说的是当爵士乐手的表演“swing“得不得了，就会“smoking“，表示精彩得冒烟了。 按照主持人泽相 Tay Cher Siang 的说法，由传奇吉他手 Wes Montgomery 和杰出钢琴家 Wynton Kelly 在纽约 Half Note 现场录音的专辑，「Smokin' at the Half Note」就是一张“swing“得冒烟的经典爵士乐专辑。

Polyrhythmic jazz drummer talks about the influence of Mahapurush Misra and playing the Half Note in San Francisco with Al Jarreau and George Duke. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support
This episode is all about Soul. Garrick and Timothy head to the theater to watch Soul, a new cinematic feature produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. And by "heading to the theater," what they mean is that each of them headed downstairs to their respective home theaters, where the screens are far smaller but the seats are much larger and the popcorn is much cheaper. Your intrepid cohosts' goal in watching Soul was to discuss the theological nuances of this film, but Garrick quickly derails that noble intention with his description of a "Giant Bug Zapper in the Sky" (which would, by the way, be an amazing name for a bluegrass punk fusion band). Also, by the way, there are a lot of spoilers in this episode, if you haven't seen the movie already. In the end, Timothy manages to wrangle enough focus out of Garrick to discuss how Soul tends toward Greek dualism while simultaneously critiquing the secular notion that happiness is found by discovering your "thing." Along the way, the dynamic duo explores Andrew Root's book The End of Youth Ministry? and considers how Josh Chatraw's Telling a Better Story might help Christians to draw from the storylines of popular movies to make their case for God. In the end, it becomes clear that, despite being packed with pop mysticism and Eastern spirituality, Soul is able to provide viewers with a meaningful resolution only by borrowing from the Christian metanarrative.

Over the past decade, Pixar's excelled at building deep existential dilemmas into touching animated feature films. Director Pete Docter (Inside Out, Up), in particular. Docter's known for his skill in blending weighty themes into emotionally charged, yet charmingly joyful, treks through the human psyche. So, it only makes sense that Pixar paired him with Kemp Powers (One Night in Miami) as co-director and co-writer on his passion project Soul. You'll be pleased to discover that Soul leans into what Pixar's best known for, creating an immersive world of visual and sensory delights woven into a thoughtful and emotional journey. Teaching, Dream Chasing, and all that Jazz Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx) is a jazz musician making his living as a middle school music teacher. Jazz feeds his soul but it doesn't pay his bills. Gardner dreams of performing onstage. But it's starting to look like that's a dream he'll never realize. His mother, Libba (Phylicia Rashad), wants him to accept an offered permanent position teaching and give up on pursuing jazz as a career. Jamie Foxx voices Joe Gardner in Soul. Photo Credit: Disney/Pixar Just as he's losing hope, a call from Curley (Questlove), a former student leads to an unexpected audition. Gardner secures a spot playing with renown jazz musician Dorothea Williams (Angela Bassett). It's his chance to play at the world-famous Half Note jazz club. On the cusp of realizing his dream, he rushes towards home. One moment of inattention leads to an accident that jettisons him out of his body and on his way to the Great Beyond. Gardner comes to in his spirit form and, upon realizing he's no longer among the living, refuses to accept his fate. Refusing to Give Up and Discovering Your Spark The meat of this film encompasses Gardner's attempt to avoid going into the Great Beyond. The visuals for the hereafter, by the way, are startling and more than a touch mesmerizing. The blend of a soft color palette and sharp angles creates a stark contrast to an Earth pulsing with life in such bold color it's almost tangible. Rachel House voices Terry in Soul. Photo Credit: Disney/Pixar Gardner's escape efforts land him as accidental mentor to a seemingly cynical 22 (Tina Fey), an unborn soul, in the Great Before. As 22's latest mentor, it's Gardner's job to help them discover their spark and earn their pass to a life on Earth. From this point on, expect hilarity, tear-jerking moments, and pithy banter. Shortcut Back to Earth Gardner just knows his reason for living is jazz. It's hard for him to see his life from any other perspective. Until he's forced to. Inspiring 22 to want to have a life proves a daunting task. But guiding the reluctant soul to their own "spark" is secondary. It only matters as a means to get him a pass back to Earth in time for his gig. Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey voice Joe Gardner and 22 in Soul. Photo Credit: Disney/Pixar And this is where Soul really finds its footing (and will lose a bit of ground with some). Watching as this pair blunder their way through life's turns, is both hilarious and ironically enlightening. Throughout, a non-corporeal Joe is still distinctly himself. He's also still self-involved in a way that's well past obsessive. The bedrock conviction that jazz is his life blinds him to the fact he's not really been living. A never-been-born 22's convinced they've seen enough of life to skip it altogether. What each discovers, about themselves, and each other, along the way highlights how very easy it is to miss the point of it all. Revelations occur naturally in this world through secondary characters that work to build a version of life in New York that practically screams the creators love at every turn. Jamie Foxx and Tina Fey's chemistry makes for a captivating duo navigating the highs and lows of Gardner's life. The secondary characters are also well developed story essentials that add their own flavor and color to the action.
