Livedthrough the Vietnam War. Saw the first Earth Day. Worked for Civil Rights.Women's Liberation. Saw wars and human suffering on TV. My human consciousnessgrows. Perhaps a function of aging, realizations. Met a plethora of influentialpeople who have had a profound impact on me. And today, I met Rick Della Ratta.As this interview title states, he is the Founder of Jazz for Peace, born as hewatched 9-11 unfold from his East Side window. He is a consummate jazz pianist,Composer, Vocalist, and philanthropist —a special human being devoted to peace.Every millisecond of this interview, I absorbed his energy, passion (which hetalks about often), and wondrous spirit to bring us (8 ½ billion together) Anoble deed. But time is not kind. As he mentions, he is hugely underpaid forall he does for peace. He's been to Africa nine times. I watched (video) himperform in Nigeria. I watched the faces of the audience, smiling andmesmerized. An incredible musician. He's helped 850 of the World's MostOutstanding Causes. President Obama praised Rick for bringing together Israeli,Palestinian, and American Jazz musicians. AND I interviewed Rick today. AND heperformed ‘How About You' and ‘Stop and Smell the Roses' at the end of theinterview.

Wer beim Pseudonym unseres heutigen studioeins-Gastes an eines der berühmtesten Findelkinder der Filmgeschichte denkt, und vielleicht sogar den Impuls verspürt, es demnächst mal mit Gemütlichkeit zu probieren, der liegt vermutlich nicht ganz falsch: Beschreibt sich der studierte Jazzpianist aus Köln, der mit bürgerlichem Namen Simon Ebener-Holscher heißt und obendrein eine Vorliebe für das "doppelte i" zu hegen scheint, doch selbst als "producer, siinger, part of nature". Wie sein Beinahe-Namensvetter aus dem Reich des Zeichentrick (beziehungsweise der Fantasie des Rudyard Kipling) begibt sich auch Moglii für seine Musik staunend auf Erkundungstour durch die Natur, sammelt in Field Recordings die Geräusche ihrer Bewohner und verwebt sie mit den Klängen analoger Synthesizer, akustischer Instrumente und warmen Beats. Verfeinert durch seelenvolle Stimmen und Vocal-Samples bringt er schließlich im Ergebnis scheinbar Unvereinbares zusammen und erschafft einen ganz eigenen "Organic Electronic"-Sound, der die Biodiversität klanglich zelebriert. Nach zwei EPs 2016 bzw. 2017 veröffentlichte er in diesem Jahr sein Debütalbum "Aniimals", über das er heute zunächst im Interview Auskunft gibt, ehe er dann den ein oder anderen Track daraus live auf die kleine Bühne im studioeins bringt.

Im Gespräch erzählt er, welche entscheidenden Impulse er vom Saxophonisten Wayne Shorter bekommen hat und was ihn auf seinem Weg besonders geprägt hat.

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

In this episode, Rick DellaRatta and I revisit his experience being an eye witness to 9/11 from only a quarter mile away… He shares how he immediately had the desire and the words to turn this tragedy into a peace mission. A poem written in that devastating moment turned into ‘Jazz for Peace.'   Rick DellaRatta is now considered by many to be one of the finest Singer/Pianists performing today and one of only a handful of Jazz Artists who can make a successful musical presentation to a large audience without having to abandon the true art form of Jazz. Rick is considered to be an innovator and a visionary through his lifelong endeavor to help advance people to their highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace worldwide through his "Jazz for Peace World Tour."  Included in the tour were historic performances in the US, Europe, Africa, and Brazil as well as his landmark Jazz for Peace concert at the United Nations in New York in 2002 uniting Israeli, Palestinian and American musicians in concert is now considered one of the most significant cultural events of our time! This U.N. Concert has led to a benefit concert series that has gone on to raise funds, publicity, and awareness for over 700 non-profit organizations, garnered support and praise from distinguished Americans and was attended and enjoyed by ambassadors, celebrities, humanitarians, and music lovers worldwide!  Jazz Pianist, vocalist and composer Rick DellaRatta was included by The Foundation Center in their list of top musician philanthropists of our time along with Bono (U2), Elton John, Peter Gabriel and Sting.   I am your host, Marci Nettles.

I am watching the Taubman Technique videos. Actually, I am absolutely consuming this material. Friends, it's what you are searching for in giving freedom and new levels to your playing.  On those tapes, there is an interesting quote of Dorothy Taubman some of which appears in the publicly available documentary, The Choreography of the Hands. (We have it available on the Golandsky Institute YouTube channel). She says something to the effect that teachers must provide answers and direction to these sincere, talented and earnest people who are studying the piano. It seems that Taubman really wanted to provide answers to students. Like for example, how do you put your finger on the key? Why do you get really tired playing? How do you play scales? How do you move in an arpeggio? The Taubman Approach through the Golandsky Institute and its certified teachers has answers. The Taubman Approach has solutions for jazz pianists. It opens up possibilities never seen before. Today's guest, jazz pianist Adam Klipple, gives us a window into the artistic freedom that this paradigm can give. Listen to the full episode because we talk about a ton of amazing ideas. And - Adam on a fun departure from the conversation, heads to the piano and plays! Wow. “The body is capable of fulfilling all pianistic demands without a violation of its nature if the most efficient ways are used; pain, insecurity, and lack of technical control are symptoms of incoordination rather than a lack of practice, intelligence, or talent."Dorothy TaubmanAdam Klipple is a student of John BloomfieldVisit Adam Klipple's website at: https://adamklipple.com/Adam Klipple, who has been described as "a standout pianist who has gone to school on McCoy Tyner and Cecil Taylor and earned his degree," plays piano, Hammond organ, sampler, and a variety of vintage keyboards. He currently records and performs with Veronica Swift, and is a member of the legendary jazz rock band Blood, Sweat & Tears.Adam has recorded and performed onstage with the likes of Ghostface Killah, Lauryn Hill, Graham Haynes, the Sun Ra Arkestra, Craig Harris, Joe Bowie's Defunkt, Sekou Sundiata, Marc Ribot, John Medeski, Kurt Rosenwinkle, Carla Cook, Dave Fiuczynski, David Gilmore, Josh Roseman, Peter Apfelbaum, Jay Rodriguez, Groove Collective, and Smokey Robinson. He has appeared at renowned venues including the Blue Note, Iridium, the Jazz Standard, Blues Alley, and the Knitting Factory, and at jazz festivals around the world.Also a composer and arranger, Adam has earned grants from Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Kennedy Center, Arts International, Meet the Composer, and the U.S. Department of State, enabling him to tour and teach master classes in southeast Asia, the Pacific Rim, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Central Asia, and the Caucasus.The Golandsky Institute's mission is to provide cutting-edge instruction to pianists based on the groundbreaking work of Dorothy Taubman. This knowledge can help them overcome technical and musical challenges, cure and prevent playing-related injuries, and lead them to achieve their highest level of artistic excellence.Please visit our website at: www.golandskyinstitute.org.

As part of this mini series on the past and future of the music industry, I wanted to speak to another person who's been a force in the industry for years. I came across an article in The Nation that was called The End of the Music Business. This piece presented the history of a century in recorded music that began with pre-war 78-rpm gramophone records, and ended with the onset of streaming websites. The thesis of the piece was that the most notable development in these hundred years was the LP, which marked the apex of commercial music making and album sales. The piece was written by Jazz Pianist Ethan Iverson. Ethan has been in the industry for over 20 years, and is now a mainstay of jazz clubs in New York and all over the country.  He was a founding member of the avant-garde jazz trio The Bad Plus in the year 2000 and he stayed with the group for 17 years. In addition to being a jazz pianist, Ethan also has written prolifically about music, and culture for years on his blog DO THE MATH, and now his Substack TRANSITIONAL TECHNOLOGY.  Ethan and I began with this piece in The Nation. And he talked through his experience in the music industry, and his predictions for where things may go. But from there we started exploring his intricate career in Jazz. Ethan has traversed through the genre, from The Bad Plus, which served as a bridge between contemporary jazz and popular music, to his current compositions, such as a piano sonata, which strive to place Jazz in conversation with classical music. As you know, I'm fascinated by work that asks complicated questions about the genre it originates from. So this last idea is where we ended our conversation. and as someone who's studied both styles and performed in both traditions, Ethan may be an apt person to think about the future of American music. This was a wonderful conversation that covered over a hundred years of American music, had a lovely Tony Bennett cameo, and forced me to think about pushing the boundaries and changing the terms we use to define genres of music.

"La Dolce Vita in Motion" (also known as "Reflections on My Life as a Dancer”) Sunday, August 20, 10:50 am In seminary we spent part of our first year in a class part of which entailed writing our "Spiritual Autobiography."

It made me realize that you and I can write any number of versions of your life. So inspired by this week's "Extravaganza of Joy" party at UUSF I'm writing my Dancing Autobiography.
