You'll hear  about some of her inspiring mentors and collaborators and her positive experience at the New School University for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, including working with Reggie Workman, Shai Maestro, and Jane Ira Bloom.

A broadly acclaimed engineer and producer, Ulrike Schwarz is a trailblazing audio innovator with more than two decades of experience across the film, television, radio, and recording industries. Born and raised in Germany, Schwarz discovered she had perfect pitch at an early age, and as a teenager, she became one of only three students to be accepted into the exclusive Tonmeister program at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin. After earning her degree, Schwarz worked with German public radio and spent more than ten years serving as the senior sound engineer for large orchestral and jazz productions at the famed Bayerischer Rundfunk in Munich, where she broke the mold as a woman in a male-dominated field and garnered numerous honors for her recordings and broadcasts, including multiple Echo Klassik, Diamant D'Opera, Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenindustrie, and Diapason d'Or awards.  In 2015, Schwarz moved to New York full time to team up with her now-husband and production partner Jim Anderson, with whom she's created a groundbreaking body of work in the field of immersive audio. As creative technically as she is artistically, Schwarz designed and built her own custom portable recording setup from scratch, and in just the last few years alone, she's garnered multiple Grammy nominations for her work with artists as diverse as American jazz stalwart Patricia Barber, contemporary Norwegian composer Gisle Kverndokk, and soprano saxophonist Jane Ira Bloom.  In 2022, Schwarz was named Vice President of the Verband Deutscher Tonmeister (The Association of German Sound Professionals) and received a prestigious grant from the Women's Fund of the New York Foundation of the Arts for her work on Jane Ira Bloom's Grammy nominated album (2023) Picturing The Invisible – Focus 1. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: Getting into the world of orchestral recording Why it's a good idea to join audio associations such as the AES Mic positions for orchestral recordings Taking an ambience-first approach to recording Preparing a game-plan for your sessions Being selective of the microphones you use to avoid “coloration” How the German vs American orchestral seating can impact the balance of your mixes Recording strings to work in a rock music context Working with reverbs to avoid muddy mixes Why you shouldn't have to use EQ or compression in a mix How sample rates impact the clarity of your recordings How something as small as a power cable can drastically alter the quality of your recordings Mixing for stereo vs immersive audio To learn more about Ulrike Schwarz, visit: http://andersonaudiony.com/ To learn more tips on how to improve your mixes, visit https://masteryourmix.com/ Download your FREE copy of the Ultimate Mixing Blueprint: https://masteryourmix.com/blueprint/ Get your copy of the #1 Amazon bestselling book, The Mixing Mindset – The Step-By-Step Formula For Creating Professional Rock Mixes From Your Home Studio: https://masteryourmix.com/mixingmindsetbook/ Join the FREE MasterYourMix Facebook community: https://links.masteryourmix.com/community To make sure that you don't miss an episode, make sure to subscribe to the podcast on iTunes or on Android.

MIXOLOGIE, mardi, jeudi et samedi de 19h à 20h. Serge Mariani nous fait partager sa playlist Mixologie Vol. 29. On a longtemps cru que les planètes Vénus et Mars ne s'entendaient que pour s'opposer et que l'une était femme quand l'autre était homme. Quoi qu'il en soit, le fait est qu'entre les mois de février et d'avril, ce n'est pas celui de Vénus qui s'intercale. Malgré tout, pour cette nouvelle Mixologie, 29ème du nom, Mars sera femme. 13 musiciennes, de jazz, mais pas seulement, ont nourri de leur intense créativité cette playlist. Le programme détaillé est sur la page dédiée à l'émission et la matière, pendant environ une heure, ici-même sur Art District radio. Bonne dégustation ! . Au Bar Combat, une soirée mixologique spéciale le 8 mars . C'est assis au comptoir d'un nouveau bar, affichant fièrement en façade son  nom,  Combat, que j'ai imaginé ma première playlist mensuelle de jazz pour la webradio et que je l'ai aussitôt intitulée «Mixologie». J'ai donc été heureusement surpris par l'annonce de  la soirée spéciale qui y est programmée ce 8 mars, avec à la carte des cocktails avec ou sans alcool créés pour l'occasion et dont le bénéfice des ventes sera reversé à l'association La Maison des Femmes de Paris. Au Bar Combat, ouvert sur la rue de Belleville voilà 4 ou 5 ans, alors que j'habitais encore tout près, je suis venu plusieurs fois passer un bon moment, assez tard, en général en revenant d'un concert. Et j'ai pu y découvrir de délicieux cocktails. Depuis, j'essaie d'être "playlistiquement" à la hauteur de leur science mixologique. Merci donc, et bravo, à Margot Lecarpentier et Elena Schmitt, les maîtresses du lieu. Cette Mixologie #29 leur est en quelque sorte dédicacée ! 1/ Lenna Willmark / Anders Jormin / album Pasado En Claro / The Woman Of The Long Ice / 5.40 2/ Zoé Besmond de Senneville / album Sourdre / Chaude Puis Froide / 1.50 3/ Naïssam Jalal / album Healing Rituals / Rituel des Collines / 4.30 4/ Suzanne / album Berthe / Her Place Near The River / 6.00 5/ Olga Amelchenko / album Slaying the Dream / Golden Tear / 5.50 6/ Senem Diyici / album Nara / Negire Çaw Rindamın / 4.15 7/ Julia Perminova / album Freedom / Dear Diary / 6.25 8/ Jane Ira Bloom / album Bloom/Helias/Previte 2.3.23 / Hawk Migration 4.45 9/ Nefertiti / album Frameless / Mysterium / 5.55 10/ Mette Henriette / album Drifting / Rue du Renard / 2.50 11/ Izo Fitzroy / album A Good Woman / Hope Divine / 4.35 12/ Olivia Belli / album Sonus Noctis / Valse / 2.20 13/ Leïla Martial / album Warm Canto / Warm Canto / 3.30

Today, the Spotlight shines On New York-based jazz innovators Jane Ira Bloom and Mark Helias, who join us to discuss their latest collaboration with drummer Bobby Previte, 2.3.23.I'd like to read from Mark's notes for the album, “2.3.23 was an outgrowth of the improvisational recording project that emerged between myself and Jane Ira Bloom beginning at an early stage of the pandemic in April/May of 2020. We struggled to come to terms with the technological limitations of playing remotely over the internet. The initial motivation was to play music with another musician, something that we had become accustomed to and took for granted until the pandemic arose. As we became adept at the advances in software and the tamping down of the inherent latency of remote recording we managed to produce two wonderful collections of spontaneous duos that documented our shared need for human and musical connection in a trying time…At one point I sent a duo track of myself and Jane to Bobby Previte to see if he might want to add drums and percussion to the track. It was just a thought on my part but the result was stunning. Bobby was able to interact so deftly with our improvised duo that I felt that we were now venturing into new territory conceptually that brought into question many suppositions about improvisation, interaction and issues of time and being…”These recordings completely challenge any preconceived notions the listener might have about any “right way” to collaborate or create improvisational music. To paraphrase Elvis Costello, talking about these recordings is like dancing about architecture, but we gave it a go and an enlightening and intriguing conversation was the result.Get 2.3.23Learm About Jane Ira Bloom | Mark Helias | Bobby PreviteHost Lawrence PeryerMore Spotlight OnFind more great podcasts from Osiris Media, the leading storyteller in music.

In this Patreon-funded special episode, Kirk sits down with his former high school band director Janis Stockhouse to talk about her life as a music educator. Janis started teaching at North high school in Bloomington, Indiana, in the early 1980s. It was a time when "jazz education" as a concept was still a relatively new thing.

The best of jazz is aural poetry. The best of poetry swings and grooves. So it's not surprising that jazz and poetry have had a long and fruitful synergy. We decided to explore intriguing collaborations between jazz musicians and poets, from the icons of the Beat Generation to Amiri Baraka, from Federico Garcia Lorca to Emily Dickinson. And we'll celebrate a poet of the jazz trumpet, Tomasz Stanko, which has left us too soon. The playlist includes music and verses by Tomasz Stanko, Matt Wilson, Roy Nathanson, Andrew Cyrille, Allen Ginsberg, Bill Frisell, Lenny Pickett, William Burroughs, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Hal Willner, Jack Kerouac, Mark Murphy, Kip Hanrahan, Ishmael Reed, Ralph Alessi, Piri Thomas, William Parker, Amiri Baraka, Alexis Cuadrado, Rowan Ricardo Phillips, Steve Lacy, Frank Carlberg, Jane Ira Bloom, Emily Dickinson, Susanne Abbuehl Detailed playlist available at https://spinitron.com/radio/playlist.php?station=rfb&month=Aug&year=2018&playlist=7363#here

Jane Ira Bloom is without a doubt one of the most distinctive voices of the soprano saxophone. She is an accomplished and educated woman with a Master of Music degree from Yale and she is also a tenured professor at New York's School of Jazz and Contemporary Music. She composes as well. The soprano saxophone is her exclusive instrument and she has made it her own voice. The album on The Jazz feature tonight is called "Mighty Lights" and Jane is accompanied by the great Fred Hersch on piano and one of the great iconic rhythm sections in all of improvised music namely bassist extraordinaire Charlie Haden and drum master Ed Blackwell. Many will remember that these two first played together in Ornette Coleman's ground breaking Quartet in the early 60s.Everyone works together for Jane's benefit and the recording is an organic whole. Five of the six tunes are by Jane and one rarely played standard is by Kurt Weill called "Lost In The Stars" is interpreted with deep emotion by Jane. "Mighty Lights" is a minor masterpiece by four superb musicians. Tonight's Jazz Feature!
