W latach 40 ubiegłego wieku, w Ameryce przyszła moda na muzykę folkową. Zaczęło się od zespołu The Weavers (pol. Tkacze), który w 1950 roku jako pierwszy w historii umieścił folkową piosenkę na pierwszym miesjcu listy Billboard. Wokół The Weavers powstało grono zespołów i, powiedzmy, bardów popularyzujących ludową muzykę Amerykanów. Moda rozwijała się nieśpiesznie, w obiegu kawiarnianym i uczelnianym. Do głównego nurtu z tego czasu przebili się w zasadzie tylko Odetta i Harry Belafonte. Zjawisko zostało nazwane American Folk Revival. Środowisko folkowców wywodziło się i działało głównie na uniwersytetach, było zdecydowanie lewicowe. Kiedy w latach 50' kraj ogarnęła fala makkartyzmu, folk trafił na cenzurowane, został zepchnięty do podziemia. Pete Seeger i Lee Hays z The Weavers stanęli nawet w 1955 przed Komisją Izby Reprezentantów ds. Działalności Antyamerykańskiej. Mimo to, jeszcze w tym samym roku właśnie Seeger z kolegami dali sygnał do rozpoczęcia drugiej fali odrodzenia folkowego. W wigilę bożego narodzenia The Weavers dali porywający koncert w Carnegie Hall. Wydany 2 lata później album z tego koncertu był jedną z najlepiej sprzedających się płyt roku. A w 1958 roku powstała grupa Kingston Trio, która zaczęła nagrywać covery piosenek Tkaczy. Ich płyty sprzedawały się rewelacyjnie. Posypały się nagrody. Odnieśli niesłychany sukces komercyjny. W ich ślady poszły inne zespoły, takie jak Peter Paul and Marry, The Chad Mitchel Trio, Brothers Four. Folk trafił na szczyt trafił i rozgościł się w głównym nurcie muzyki. Jeszcze w „kawiarnianych” czasach odrodzenia folkowego, młoda piosenkarka Niela Halleck (później po mężu Horn Miller) napisała i wykonywała piosenkę "Baby, Please Don't Go to Town". Rzecz o dziewczynie, która idzie się zabawić, a autorka ostrzega ją przed konsekwencjami. Niela spotykała się z muzykiem Billym Robertsem. Wkrótce Billy podczas swoich gigów zaczął wykonywać własną piosenkę - „Hey Joe”. Tu mamy historię wyraźnie nawiązującą do tekstu Nieli, z tym że historia jest już o chłopaku, który zabił dziewczynę przyłapaną na zabawie z innym. Ten sam tekst (no prawie) śpiewał Hendrix, ale melodia, aranżacja jeszcze żywo przypomina dzieło Nieli. Nie przeszkodziło to Billowi zarezerwować praw do piosenki. I do dzisiaj występuje jako autor. Neila dwukrotnie próbowała dochodzić swoich praw ale zrezygnowała. W międzyczasie pojawiali się jeszcze muzycy, którzy przedstawiali inne pochodzenie piosenki, inne źródła inspiracji (też oczywiście folkowe), czasem podawali się za autorów, ale wersja tutaj przedstawiona ma chyba ma najwięcej zwolenników. Muzycznie i tekstowo się broni. Hey Joe we wczesnych latach 60 był często grywany na klubowych scenach. To głównie za przyczyną Davida Crosbiego i The Byrds, którzy spopularyzowali piosenkę wśród muzyków zachodniego wybrzeża. Najbardziej znana była wersja zespołu The Leaves, przez dziewięć tygodni utrzymywała się na listach przebojów. Aż pojawił się młody czarnoskóry gitarzysta Jimmy Hendrix i wszystkie dotychczasowe wersje piosenki zepchnął na margines. Jego wersja Hey Joe była genialna, niepowtarzalna, wręcz ikoniczna, kto dziś pamięta o pozostałych. Audycja zawiera utwory: “Stairway To Heaven” (w tle), wyk.

Die Karriere von Billy Hart war alles andere als geradlinig. Zwar spielte er für die ganz Grossen, für den Jahrhunderttrompeter Miles Davis, oder für die Sängerin-Pianistin Shirley Horn. Er musste aber auch viele Rückschläge einstecken, wurde vom Pianisten McCoy Tyner gefeuert, war wohl bei Herbie Hancock in der Mwandishi-Band dabei, bei den kommerziell erfolgreicheren «Head Hunters» dann aber nicht mehr. Dass der Weg tatsächlich wichtiger ist als das Ziel, und wie zentral die eigene Haltung gegenüber dem Scheitern ist, davon erzählt der 85jährige Billy Hart in seiner Autobiographie «Oceans of Time». Das Buch mit Begeisterung gelesen hat der Pianist Chris Wiesendanger: Er bringt es mit und dazu seine Lieblingsmusik von Billy Hart - in die JazzCollection mit Jodok Hess. - - Die gespielten Titel: Interpret:in: Titel (Album / Label) - Jimmy Smith: I Got a Woman (Jimmy Smith and the Trio: Salle Pleyel - May 28, 1965 / Trema) - Shirley Horn: I'm Old Fashioned (A Lazy Afternoon / Steeple Chase) - Herbie Hancock: Ostinato (Suite for Angela) (Mwandishi / Warnder Bros.) - Miles Davis: One and One (On the Corner / Columbia) - João Gilberto, Stan Getz: Eu Vim da Bahia (Stan Getz: The Best of Two Worlds. feat.

Paris-born Wally Badarou traces his ancestry to Benin, West Africa—but he is thoroughly and unmistakably French. When it comes to music, however, his inspiration reflects a rich blend of international influences. A pioneering keyboardist, producer, and session musician, Wally has long embraced technology as an integral part of his creative process—one of the key motivations that led him to collaborate with the band Level 42. If you've heard their music, you've heard Wally's touch: his musical structures, melodies, and productions are woven into many of their biggest hits. Although he was never an official member of the band, he co-wrote many of their more prominent songs, shaping the band's signature sound. Beyond that, his remarkable career includes collaborations with legends such as Herbie Hancock, M, Talking Heads, Grace Jones, Robert Palmer, and many others. It's the story of a truly global musician—one who views music through an international lens. Inside MusiCast proudly welcomes Wally Badarou.

Episode 91: Christian McBride. Nine-time GRAMMY winner Christian McBride is one of the most influential jazz artists in the game. His collaborations span icons like Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, James Brown, and Sting. He's the leader of multiple acclaimed bands including the Christian McBride Big Band, Inside Straight, and New Jawn. He also serves as the host of NPR's Jazz Night in America and was the Artistic Director of the Newport Jazz Festival for a decade. His story is incredible, and we're setting the stage here with Part 1, The Early Years. Growing up in Philadelphia, Christian was surrounded by greatness. His high school classmates included Questlove, Black Thought, Joey DeFrancesco, and Kurt Rosenwinkel, just to name a few. In this episode, we talk about those formative years, the Philly music scene, and how he broke into the spotlight with Wynton Marsalis and Freddie Hubbard, along with the wild story of his rare opportunity to play for Miles Davis. We also get into his professional mentality, early lessons on leadership, and what it took to earn respect from legends while still a teenager. Christian is an amazing storyteller, and this conversation is full of history, heart, and laughs. We had the best time recording this one, so I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. Lets go!

Pocas veces estuvo tan claro el hecho de que, para los ciudadanos periodistas, nunca se trata de lo que se dice sino de quién lo dice. Hay quien puede hacer y decir lo que le venga en gana, ya sea encararse con los rivales, autoproclamarse el rey, el mejor, o acusar a un club rival de robar. Si lo hace Lamina Yamal, del Barça y la Selección Española, se buscarán mil y un excusas, mil y un argumentos para disculparle y minimizar los daños. Si lo hace otro, pongamos que Vinicius, no le salva nadie del pelotón de fusilamiento.

We look at the proposed Milwaukee County budget, and learn how major improvement projects could impact property taxes. Jazz legend Herbie Hancock joins talks about how he continues to improvise. Live at Lake Effect featuring classical guitarist René Izquierdo.

Jazz legend Herbie Hancock plays in Milwaukee tonight. He's produced dozens of albums, spanning jazz, jazz-rock fusion, funk, and electronic music. He's also collaborated with other music greats, from Miles Davis to Joni Mitchell.  On that journey, Hancock has picked up 14 Grammys and an Oscar for best soundtrack. He's playing at Milwaukee's Pabst Theatre tonight. Ahead of that he joins WUWM's Maayan Silver who first noted that he has a voice for radio. 

We start the episode with a chat about artists that drastically changed their sound over the years – from the Beatles to Cher to Alanis to Herbie Hancock to Bob Dylan to Fleetwood Mac to Beyonce. Speaking of artists that changed their sound, how about the Bee Gees? They started out as a folky pop band and changed their sound to R&B in the mid ‘70s to out and out disco by 1977. We have an excellent 1989 Brad Giffen interview with Barry Gibb as he talks about the groups desire to keep going in spite of the backlash they faced after Saturday Night Fever. It cast a long shadow on them, but they endured by writing hit songs for other artists. Then, we have a really fun chat with Jason Mraz from 2012 and 2014. You get a real sense of who he is - an almost old school hippy vibe that’s really endearing. Plus, some audio from the late ‘70s/early ‘80s with the great George Benson – a jazz giant who had lots of commercial success. He has some great insights as well. And then we chat with one of Christopher’s favourite people – Ian Thomas – who has had a whole string of hit records that Canadians know and love – and some of those songs were covered by the likes of Santana, Manfred Mann and America. Ian is one of the newest inductees into the Canadian songwriters Hall Of Fame – which is coming up on Fri, Oct 17 at the Meridian Centre in Toronto. Tickets are available at Ticketmaster. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Hey everybody, welcome to KJAZZ where we are talking one of the best selling Jazz albums of all time (until 1980.). We talk cooling mint, library stress, getting harassed by fans on the plane, and why you should go to that funeral.    Then we become the best Herbie Hancock podcast of all time and talk the merging of Jazz and Funk to make one of the best vibe albums of all time. We also explore the world of Stars on 76 and the songs that lost the 1981 best R and B album.    Next up, we are going to do a replay... but after that! We are doing the Freewheeling Bob Dylan.

Episode Overview In this episode of The Design Vault, hosts Albert Shum and Thamer Abanami are joined by legendary producer Dan the Automator Nakamura (Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagon) to explore the Technics SL-1200 MK2 — the direct drive DJ turntable that evolved from an audiophile product into a central instrument for hip hop, house, and techno DJs and producers. From Konosuke Matsushita's long-term “250-year philosophy” to Grand Wizard Theodore's scratching breakthrough, this is the story of how Japanese engineering precision met street creativity to create one of the most influential musical instruments of the late 20th century. Dan shares personal stories of witnessing a young Qbert and Mix Master Mike before fame, why the 1200 is often called the “Porsche 911 of turntables,” and how the constraints of early sampling technology shaped hip hop's signature sound.

F**k'd up world, ain't it Untitled Beatle People? Like all rational weirdos, we're fed up with the fascism that (as of this writing) has removed Jimmy Kimmel from the airwaves. We stand with a fellow comic and avowed Beatles/Letterman stan, and against both censorship and emotionally crippled, diabolical jag bags. Fortunately… we have the perfect antidote to the state of the world, as we go back through the mists of time (cue “The Long & Winding Road” from “Tripping The Live Fantastic”)…to a time they call the 60's (…more magic piano blues noodling…) and welcome a die-hard, O.G. Beatles fan and Chicago legend, “Beatle” Fred Ciba! From being at the Beatles historic Chicago shows to shopping at the Apple Boutique and visiting the original Cavern Club, Fred experienced it all, in real time. Join us as Fred provides a fascinating glimpse into the exhilaration of Beatlemania, as heard on Chicago's bygone, legendary rock radio stations like WLS, WIND, and WCFL. Fred also puts up with a fair amount of unnecessary, and, arguably, outright disrespectful nonsense from T.J. (YA SHOCKED?) as the Gab Two also ask:

Gonzalo Rubalcaba is a Grammy-winning Cuban pianist and composer celebrated as one of the most innovative voices in modern jazz. He'll be performing at Indy Jazz Fest on September 19. Born in Havana in 1963 to a musical family, Rubalcaba was classically trained before emerging as a prodigy of the city's vibrant jazz scene. His virtuosic technique quickly drew international attention, leading to collaborations with legends like Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Haden, and Herbie Hancock. In his conversation with WFYI's Kyle Long, Rubalcaba discusses his connection to Dizzy Gillespie and his latest album, “A Tribute to Benny Moré and Nat King Cole.”

Today we're going on an aquatic journey with Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage. Herbie calls the title track the best tune he's ever written.  We dive deep into the music to explore what makes this tune, and this album, great. The roots of Maiden Voyage date back in 1963, when Herbie began hearing rumors that Miles Davis wanted to hear him play. He didn't believe it at first -- Miles was at the height of his celebrity by this point. But soon he got a call. He went over to Miles's house and played with him, George Coleman, Tony Williams and Ron Carter for three days. On the third day, Miles asks the group to come to studio to record Seven Steps to Heaven. Herbie says, "Does that mean I'm in the band?" Miles says, "You're making the record, mother f**cker!" After two years playing in what many call the one of the greatest jazz ensembles of all time, Herbie would release Maiden Voyage in 1965. Along with George, Tony and Ron, plus saxophonist Freddie Hubbard. Although it is one of his simplest tunes -- with a rhythm inspired by a cologne commercial -- Maiden Voyage would become a favorite and a standard among jazz musicians. In this episode, you'll hear:- Adam and Peter pick apart the greatest moments from the album, including some perfect solos- The story of the commercial roots of this jazz standard- Where the record got its aquatic theme- Why a great song starts with a great bassline (just ask Ron Carter)- How this record could have been even better ... if it weren't for that piano sound- Where we land on Van Gelder Sound controversy-----Keyboards? Albums we haven't covered. "Boomer" talk. We know you have opinions about this show. Help us make You'll Hear It better by sharing your feedback with us and answering a short survey.

In 1989, Keith LaMar (aka Bomani Shakur) was sent to prison at age 19 for murder. He had been living in Cleveland, Ohio, where he sold drugs as a means of survival in the Crack-infested streets he knew as home. On a day that would forever change his life, Keith was robbed at gunpoint and exchanged gunfire with his robbers. He was shot twice in his legs and hit one of the other men in the chest. That young man, one a childhood friend, died. Keith pled guilty and was sent to prison for 18 years-to-life. Four years later, Keith was attempting to put together the broken pieces of his life at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility, hoping for another chance at life. It was an Easter Sunday, and the weather had just turned warmer; Keith and about 400 other men were outside exercising in the rec-yard when commotion broke out inside and it became clear that some type of protest was underway. Keith made a quick decision to slip inside for a few minutes to secure his personal belongings (since his cell assignment was in the area being taken over). Once back out in the yard, he and the others waited to see what would transpire, watching as the bodies of several men were dumped onto the yard. As Easter came to an end, the Ohio State Highway Patrol rounded up those on the yard and secured them into another part of the facility. Prison records prove that Keith was among them. Though no one could have predicted what exactly was happening, or how it would all result, an 11-day siege ensued. In the end, nine inmates and one guard ultimately lost their lives. When the dust began to settle, the State of Ohio needed someone on whom to pin several of the early inmate deaths. This is where Keith's troubles began… A few months later, several prisoners were enticed with the promise of early paroles and/or dropped charges if only they would come up with a reasonable story to help the State sweep up the “mess” at their out-of-control prison. They determined Keith would be the fall guy, and they pointed their fingers at him. Thus, to make it all come together convincingly, the prosecution withheld actual confessions from his defense, as well as eyewitness statements that contradicted their fabricated version of events. In spite of zero DNA or forensic evidence, they moved forward with their accusations against Keith. In fact, they made sure his trial would be racially biased in their favor by calling for the removal of the few potential black jurors, and by holding his trial in an all-white county in southern Ohio. In spite of having no motive to kill anyone, no actual proof connecting him, nor any affiliation with any of the groups organizing the uprising, the jury didn't take long to find Keith LaMar guilty of the murder of five of the inmates. He was sentenced to death. Albert Marquès is a pianist, composer, and political activist from a working class, industrial town outside of Barcelona, where he worked in factories through school. A member of a Catalan anti-capitalist organization as a teenager, he narrowly escaped being detained for his activism. Influenced by the local punk scene, as well as jazz recordings of musicians like Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Michel Camilo and Herbie Hancock, he was self-taught until he attended Conservatori Superior de Música del Liceu. After graduation, he made two pivotal trips which changed his life, spending a month in the West Bank in Palestine and a month in Cuba. During his four years in Barcelona, he played with the best musicians of the scene, such as Marc Miralta, thanks to his unique, non-academic sound. Upon graduating, he moved to Paris, where he worked in a McDonald's until he learned French. In Paris, he played with musicians such as Remi Vignolo and Pierre Perchaud, and became the pianist in African American drummer Leon Parker's quartet. At 25, Albert moved to New York City, without knowing even one person, to play jazz. After a year and a half working as a waiter and going to jam sessions every night, he met his mentor Arturo O'Farrill, who gave him his own baby grand piano. In addition to his musical influence and encouragement, O'Farrill hired him to teach with his organization, the Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, a non-profit that gives free Latin jazz music lessons in the most disadvantaged New York City public schools. Albert also plays and collaborates with his sons, Adam and Zack O'Farrill. In 2014, he married the sculptor Mia Pearlman, with whom he has two children, Aviva and Sol. It is in New York that he finally combined his biggest influences: contemporary jazz, flamenco, Afro Cuban music and social justice by creating Freedom First. He has recorded four albums as a band leader, and regularly collaborates with rhythm master Ari Hoenig, Spanish flamenco singer and saxophonist Antonio Lizana, and other American and European musicians. ​Marques is the Music Director at the Institute for Collaborative Education in NY, a progressive, public middle and high school in downtown Manhattan.

✦ Atlanta is a city rife with creativity. One of the artistic endeavors that Atlanta, and Georgia for that matter, has seen hockey stick growth within is film making. Not to be forgotten, however, amongst the known stars, million-dollar budgets, and expensive studios are the indie-film makers. City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode sat down with poet, indie-film maker, and Atlanta native Malik Salaam, director of the new film Cut, to discuss the movie, his journey, and Atlanta's indie-film scene. ✦ A speakeasy meets a night of jazz-opera fusion, R&B, and chill vibes this Saturday. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans shares more about "The Den on Queen" event. ✦ City Lights Collective member, podcaster, and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos lives to research the stories behind Atlanta's treasures, and this week, she dives into the wild origin story of one of the city's most beloved institutions: Zoo Atlanta. It all started in Grant Park in the late 1800s, where an abandoned circus, a lumber magnate with a vision, and some very confused animals collided to create Atlanta's first permanent menagerie. In today's story from Lemos, you'll meet the city's first zookeeper, an "educated pig," and learn how a train car full of lions, monkeys, and even a dromedary led to what we now call Zoo Atlanta. We'll uncover how public parades, dime campaigns, and even elephants named Coca and Cola shaped the park's future—and why the city's love for the zoo never quite matched the funding behind it. ✦ You know as well as we do that there is always a plethora of things to do in Atlanta, and we have earned the title of "The Cultural Capital of the South." Mike Jordan, senior editor at the AJC, and Sammie Purcell, associate editor at Rough Draft Atlanta, know this well too. They join us weekly to share a few of their picks for your weekend entertainment. Today, their mix includes two separate food events – one for veggies and one for jollof, and a film festival in the suburbs. ✦ Award-winning photographer Jim Alexander has spent his life refining what he calls the art of documentary photography. A photojournalist, teacher, activist, media consultant, and entrepreneur, Alexander has amassed an impressive collection of images showcasing Black culture and human rights. He's also a dear friend of photographer Sue Ross, who has spent five decades telling the story of Black Atlanta through images of politicians, artists, literary greats, community leaders, and as she puts it, "just plain people." These two giants of photography have much in common, but it's their shared love for Music that is spotlighted in the exhibition, "We Are Music," currently on view at The Sun ATL. Both Alexander and Ross have seemingly endless collections of live concert photography. They've both been stage-side to capture images of some of Black Music's biggest names, including Dizzy Gillespie, Gladys Knight, Miles Davis, Run-DMC, Herbie Hancock, and India Arie - many of whom were photographed at Atlanta's annual Jazz Festival. City Lights Collective co-host Kim Drobes recently visited The Sun ATL to view the exhibition and was given a tour by the legendary photographers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Watch the full episode on our Substack: ⁠https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/video-rewind-kamasi-washington-a⁠ Jazz is a constantly evolving art form, offering some of the richest lessons in creative collaboration. A melody and chord progression provide the foundation, but as each musician brings their unique improvisational perspective, the music takes on unexpected, transformative shapes.

His 2015 album The Epic won the American Music Prize and stands, in our opinion, as one of the greatest jazz records of the 21st century. Kamasi contributed to Kendrick Lamar's Grammy-winning To Pimp a Butterfly, scored Michelle Obama's Netflix documentary Becoming, and has collaborated with musical legends like Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Lauryn Hill, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Chaka Khan, and many more. In this episode, we spent an evening with Kamasi, exploring his creative process, what he's learned from his collaborators, his philosophy on collaboration, and his latest album, ⁠Fearless Movement⁠. ⁠Zero Gravity, Wayne Shorter documentary on Amazon Prime⁠ ⁠Kamasi's newest record, ⁠⁠Fearless Movement⁠ ⁠The Epic⁠ ⁠Kamasi Washington's website⁠ Kamasi Washington, born in Los Angeles in 1981, grew up surrounded by music, with a saxophonist father and a flutist mother who nurtured his musical talent from a young age. Kamasi's journey began with drums and piano in his early years, progressing to the clarinet at age seven and finally to the tenor saxophone at twelve, mirroring his father's path. His high school years at Hamilton High School Music Academy were pivotal; there, he joined the renowned Multi School Jazz Band and learned from jazz icons like Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Kamasi's talent was quickly recognized when he won the John Coltrane Saxophone Competition, and he co-founded "The Young Jazz Giants," which marked his early step into professional music. Kamasi's musical evolution continued at UCLA, where he studied ethnomusicology and expanded his understanding of global music traditions. This foundation supported his wide-ranging collaborations beyond jazz, where he worked with artists like Snoop Dogg, Raphael Saadiq, and Kendrick Lamar. Yet, despite his diverse influences, Kamasi remained firmly rooted in jazz, ultimately channeling these experiences into his innovative sound. His 2015 debut album, The Epic, was a monumental release—a three-disc exploration of jazz that introduced a unique blend of spiritual depth and musical complexity. The album garnered critical acclaim, broadening Kamasi's reach and establishing him as a leader in modern jazz. *** This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

In the seventies, when Uri Caine was discovering the piano, two dominant influences were Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock.  Both were in their thirties, both had played emerging electric music with Miles Davis after having established their Jazz bona fides, both led successful fusion bands (Chick with Return To Forever, Herbie with his Head Hunters band), and each had a distinctive voice on the keyboard.     How stunning must it have been in 1978 when they announced a joint recording and touring project?  Just two geniuses on stage at two concert grand pianos.  If that's not catnip for an eager young pianist, we don't know what is!  You better believe that, when they came to Philadelphia, Uri Caine was in the house.  I mean, the guy is still talking about it!   What did he hear?  What was the big deal?   Find out Monday (5/26) when Mitch Goldman hosts Uri Caine on Deep Focus and unearths live, unreleased recordings.  Deep Focus airs Mondays from 6p to 9p NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.     Or join us when it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/.  Subscribe right now to get notifications when new episodes are posted.  It's ad-free, all free, totally non-commercial.  We won't even ask for your contact info.   Find out more about Deep Focus at https://mitchgoldman.com/about-deep-focus/ or join us on Instagram @deep_focus_podcast.   Please note: this will be a live broadcast.  This show was rescheduled after a previously scheduled broadcast was postponed.     Photo credit: no publishing information available.   #WKCR #DeepFocus #/UriCaine #HerbieHancock #ChickCorea #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #JazzInterview #MitchGoldman

Terri Lyne Carrington has spent her life behind the drums—and out in front. In this wide-ranging conversation, the Grammy-winning musician, educator, and activist reflects on her remarkable journey from child prodigy to visionary bandleader, and from mentee to mentor. She shares stories from her early gigs with jazz legends like Clark Terry and Buddy Rich, her formative years with Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, and her ongoing work shaping the next generation through the Berklee Institute of Jazz and Gender Justice. We spoke on the occasion of We Insist 2025!, Carrington's powerful new reimagining of Max Roach's classic 1960 protest suite. But the conversation goes far beyond the music—it's about legacy, leadership, gender equity, and the responsibility of artists to help create a more just and expansive world. As Carrington puts it, “Only an open hand receives.” www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story
