Jazz Chisholm's explosive night against the Pirates proves why the Yankees cannot afford to trade him before the deadline. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash acknowledge Jazz's frustrating inconsistency, but his power, energy and production in high-leverage moments make him essential to any potential October run. The pursuit of Luis Arraez creates a major lineup dilemma, potentially forcing Jazz back to third base or the outfield after years of complaints about playing Yankees out of position. With Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton facing uncertain returns, the Yankees may need to ignore defensive comfort and build the strongest possible offense. After months of low-scoring baseball, the eight-run outburst felt like a much-needed night at an open bar.
A caller is ready to drive Jazz Chisholm to the airport for Luis Arraez, but Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash strongly reject the idea of subtracting a dangerous bat during a playoff push. Even with his flaws, Jazz gives the Yankees power, athleticism and late-game upside that would be difficult to replace. The debate then shifts to shortstop, where Jose Caballero's energy and disciplined approach continue to separate him from Anthony Volpe. Caballero has already received most of the recent starts at short, but the hosts question whether Aaron Boone should make the change permanent and how Ryan McMahon factors into the best defensive alignment.
Jazz Chisholm's latest power surge has Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash convinced the Yankees cannot afford to move him before the trade deadline. His inconsistency remains maddening, but his production in high-leverage moments gives the lineup an October weapon it desperately needs. The debate turns to Luis Arraez, where he would play, and whether the Yankees should sacrifice defense by moving Jazz around the diamond. Uncertainty surrounding Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton makes the deadline even more complicated, while Jose Caballero continues to strengthen his case for more playing time over Anthony Volpe. Plus, Freddy Peralta's brutal return to Milwaukee leads to harsh criticism of David Stearns, and Evan delivers an early NFC East prediction that the Dallas Cowboys will win the division.
The Yankees could consider trading Jazz, but with his clutch home runs should they? Plus the Mets next manager may have already been offered the job.

Jerry's first update starts with the second of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s two HRs to help the Yankees beat the Pirates. Benches cleared when Dennis Santana got mad at Jose Caballero. We discuss golfing when storms hit. Freddy Peralta doesn't know why he's been struggling this year. Rich Paul said LeBron will not rush his decision. Gio thinks LeBron will choose Miami so he can play golf year-round.
Gio opens with a rough night for David Stearns as Freddy Peralta flopped in Milwaukee, while Boomer thinks the Mets should trade an unhappy Francisco Lindor. Jerry drops his first update on Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s two homers in a Yankees win over the Pirates, a tame benches-clearing incident, and Jazz's supreme confidence. With local storms approaching, Gio admits he wants to see a tornado, prompting a chat on golfing in severe weather, followed by Peralta's confusion over his season-long struggles. Meanwhile, Rich Paul says LeBron James won't rush his decision, though Gio predicts a Miami move for year-round golf, and the hour wraps with a wild 2001 Good Day New York clip featuring a heated on-air feud.
In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard welcomes Dr. Deane Waldman, a pediatric cardiologist turned healthcare reform advocate and author of Become an Empowered Patient. Drawing on nearly 40 years of clinical experience, Dr. Waldman explains why today's healthcare system often places bureaucracy ahead of patients and what individuals can do to navigate it more effectively.

Dr. Waldman shares powerful stories from his medical career, including how he helped a critically ill infant receive lifesaving treatment despite insurance restrictions, illustrating why patient advocacy is more important than ever. Gerald and Dr. Waldman also explore healthcare through the lens of productivity, examining how waste, excessive bureaucracy, and disconnected incentives reduce efficiency and patient outcomes. Gerald shares his own journey recovering from a severe vestibular disorder and explains how self-advocacy played a critical role in his healing.

Director Will Niava's film, JAZZ INFERNAL (2025), is showing on July 23rd at the Future of Film Showcase in Toronto. If you're reading this before the date and can go, what are you waiting for? Buy tickets!It's that incredible, one of the best films I've seen all year. It won a Short Film Jury Award at Sundance last year and very deservedly so. Will is an Ivorian-Ghanaian film director and screenwriter based in Montreal, Quebec. And think about that sentence for a moment: there's few like it in the English language that conjures up that many cultural influences in 13 words. And the best way to describe Will's films is that he brings all of those together into pure artistry.If the interview feels short, blame me. The Future of Film press person asked, will 20 minutes be fine, and I stupidly said yes and regretted the decision fifteen seconds into the interview.On your next film, Will, I won't make that mistake again, trust me.In this episode, Will and I talk about:how he describes his award-winning Sundance film;its evolution from a lighthearted comedy to a love letter for his father;if the prestigious awards it earned changes his mind about making a short;how he got started in filmmaking;the concept of taste versus talent;what's next for him.Will's Indie Film/Filmmaker Highlight: PARADISE (2025) dir. by Jérémy Comte; MY FATHER'S SHADOW (2025) dir. by Akinola Davies Jr; Harley Francis; Zion Saffer; Samuel CaronMemorable Quotes:"[My wife told me] you have to talk about your grief. And my grief felt personal."" This is what a short film has done for me, so I can never recommend against it."Links:Follow Will On InstagramBuy Tickets For JAZZ INFERNAL at The Future Of Film Showcase

Ok - I talk about harp happiness a lot. Really a lot. That's because playing the harp has always brought me happiness. Sure, playing the harp is hard work sometimes, and I've had my share of frustration too, but for me the challenges are outweighed by the joy every time. It's the joy that keeps me going and I hope that your own harp happiness sustains and inspires you too. I mention this because I have a special guest on today's show and she positively radiates harp happiness. Her name is Alexandra Chang, and if you haven't heard of her already, just listening to her talk about her love of music and the harp is going to make you fall in love with her. Alex is an electric acoustic harpist and composer and as you will hear, much of her performing is collaborative improvisation, particularly with the Rock City Falls Trio, a cross-genre ensemble. She recently completed a Jazz and Sonic Music residency at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity for performance and composition and premiered the work A Shared Woven Melody at the Jazz and Sonic Arts Concert as part of their 2024 Gather Listen Hear Summer Arts Festival. She was awarded the 2025 Art Connects Artist Grant. Art Connects is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts & New York State. She teaches at Rutgers University as an Associate Professor of Practice at the Arts, Culture and Media Department. She is also the co-director of Improv Spaces and runs the Improv Spaces Music Festival, based in upstate New York, with creative partner percussionist Adam Forman. But before I play our conversation for you, I want to preview three things she mentions that give a more complete picture of her musicianship than just the raw facts from her bio. First, she practices the pedal harp every day. Second, she always has music by Bach on her music stand. And third, she's only been playing the harp for six years. Yep, I couldn't believe it either. I will play a clip from one of the selections on her album at the end of our conversation. I want you to hear from her first. So without any more delay, here is my conversation with harpist Alexandra Chang. Links to things I think you might be interested in that were mentioned in the podcast episode: Where to find Alex: Her website: https://www.alexchangmusic.com/ Her bandcamp link: https://alexchang.bandcamp.com/ The Topos Festival where Alex will be playing with the Rock City Falls Trio: Improv Spaces | Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) Improv Spaces Music Festival on Sept. 6: Improv Spaces Music Festival | Troy Savings Bank Music Hall Get involved in the show!

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, guitarist, and music director Evan Zee for a conversation that begins with musical connection and quickly opens into something deeper. I first found Evan while researching for another interview, tracing a path from Larry Goldings to Lila Forde and then to Evan. That kind of chain reaction is one of my favorite things about this show, and in this case it led to a conversation about listening, community, faith, family, and the way music can widen a person's heart.We begin by talking about Evan's musical relationship with singer Lila Forde and how their collaboration grew out of church work, friendship, and time spent simply playing together. Evan reflects on the importance of “big ears” as a musician, the kind of listening that goes beyond technique and becomes a way of serving the song, the people around you, and the moment itself. What follows is one of my favorite kinds of conversations: one that starts with music but naturally opens into larger questions about how to live.From there, Evan speaks with real honesty about marriage, fatherhood, and how family life changed his voice, his art, and his sense of purpose. He describes becoming a parent before he felt ready, and how that experience forced him to confront fear, insecurity, and the need for growth in a way that ultimately deepened his artistic expression. It is a thoughtful and moving part of the conversation, and one that gets at something I care deeply about on this podcast: how life itself shapes the music.We also spend time talking about Evan's long history playing in church, from starting as a teenager to later studying at USC, moving to Los Angeles, and navigating his own spiritual unraveling and reconstruction. Today, as music director at a Presbyterian church in Santa Monica, he has built a creative community around intention, trust, and “the hang.” He shares how that environment led to a new record featuring close collaborators including Lila Forde, Misha, Carl McComas-Reichl, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Tom Frazier, and Darla, and why he wanted the session to feel playful, immediate, and alive.We close by talking about a powerful live performance in the wake of the Eaton fire, which displaced Evan and his family from their Altadena home, as well as his deep love for Joni Mitchell and the spiritual force he hears in her writing. This episode is about much more than career milestones.

Join host Sue Rose Minahan as she welcomes Rick Levine—internationally renowned astrologer and Seattle local—to speculate on the profound “4° Barbault Basket Burst” occurring on July 19th.The celestial sky is presenting a powerful alignment. The first major shift arrives on July 19, 2026, anchoring at 4° and involving five distinct planets: the Moon, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.This interlocked pattern forms a grand trine and mystic triangle, creating a supportive "cradle" of trines and sextiles that will hold a tight, potent orb at 4° for three consecutive days.The Core Dynamics of the Alignment-The Outer Planet Foundation: The mystique of this pattern pivots on the outer planets, which are currently engaging in an extended mini grand trine spanning 2024–2029 (concentrating at its tightest from 2025–2027).-The Jupiter Amplifier: Jupiter in Leo adds a massive dynamic energy to the mix, hinging a "BIG" tag onto this aspect and promoting a lasting legacy that pushes humanity forward.-The Lunar Trigger: While the outer planets move slowly, the Moon transiting Libra acts as the crucial fifth point. The Moon unites these five archetypes of transformation, serving as the immediate catalyst that begins a collective bursting through old paradigms.With Uranus and Pluto intensely breaking old patterns, this extraordinary planetary cradle acts as a true launching pad for elevated cultural consciousness.RICK LEVINE: is a world-renowned astrologer, scholar and author.

Viviane Chassot gehört zu den renommiertesten Akkordeonistinnen überhaupt. Sie hat mitgeholfen, ihrem Instrument auch die klassische Musik zu erschliessen. Damit macht sie die klassische Musik auch jenen Menschen zugänglich, die sonst keinen Bezug zu ihr gehabt hätten. Geboren wird Viviane Chassot in Zürich. Sie wächst in Wollerau auf, wo das Akkordeon eine grosse Rolle spielt. Allerdings nicht im klassischen Bereich, sondern in Form eines Akkordeon-Orchesters, das es bis heute gibt. Viviane Chassot interessiert sich damals mehr fürs Ballett. Und zwar so sehr, dass es auch beruflich eine Option wird. Eine Ausbildung am Opernhaus Zürich wäre möglich. Da hört sie am Radio ein Stück von Johann Sebastian Bach. Gespielt auf einem Akkordeon. Das ändert alles. Vivianne Chassot ist Feuer und Flamme und entscheidet sich – weil in ihrer Familie nur ein Hobby erlaubt war – für das Akkordeon. Längst ist das Hobby Beruf. Viviane Chassot hat Werke von Haydn, Mozart und Rameau eingespielt und aufgeführt und so auch mit Grössen wie Simon Rattle oder Alfred Brendel zusammengearbeitet. Und sie verbindet Klassik, Jazz, neue Musik und Improvisation. Auch darin also eine Brückenbauerin. Von ihrer Pionierarbeit für das Instrument und ihrem differenzierten Zugang zum Klang, von ihrem Weg zum Erfolg und ihren Rückschlägen und Krisen, von ihrer Arbeit mit anderen Musikerinnen und Musikern und ihrer Liebe auch zur Rockmusik erzählt Viviane Chassot im Gespräch mit Gastgeber Michael Luisier. Die Musiktitel: - Meat Loaf: Alive - Joseph Haydn: Holde Gattin, dir zur Seite (Duett Adam&Eva), aus Die Schöpfung (Balthasar-Neumann-Ensemble; Thomas Hengelbrock, Leitung; Dorothee Mields, Eva; Locky Chung, Adam) - Aimee Mann / Rush: Time stand Still - Stefanie Heinzmann: Good - Johannes Brahms: 3. Allegro non troppo, aus Klavierkonzert Nr. 1 d-Moll op. 15 (Maurizio Pollini, Klavier; Berliner Philharmoniker; Claudio Abbado, Leitung) Der Einspieler: Josef Haydn: Presto, aus Klaviersonate e-Moll, Hob 16/34 (Viviane Chassot, Akkordeon) Erstausstrahlung: 23.11.2025
Michael Mullins (trombone) and Bradford Lewis (guitar) — two more members of the Legacy Coalition, and bandmates in their own project — join us to fill in the rest of the story.They walk us through how the Coalition really came together: an idea years in the making, a chance meeting at a recording session, and the moment a teenage keyboard player named River showed up and made the whole thing click. They talk about their new single "Brand New Day," a music video shoot funded in part by a Jazz and Heritage Foundation grant, and the weight — and the freedom — of carrying a family legacy forward. As Bradford puts it: "our job is not to fill their shoes, our job is to wear our own."Only In The Green Room goes backstage with the artists carrying jam, funk, roots, and Americana music forward.

Jazz-funk brass band EMEFE didn't plan on getting back together after their indefinite hiatus in 2016. Everyone involved with the project at the time, including founding member and drummer Miles Francis, went on to pursue other musical endeavors, until one of their 2015 album tracks, titled “Sun Spat,” began to gain some traction online years later. “We never heard from anybody from Spotify or any of these companies. It truly felt like people listening,” says Francis, highlighting this rare experience at a time when artists fought for attention like never before. After millions of streams, fan covers of the song emerged and EMEFE couldn't ignore the buzz anymore. Shortly after their reunion, they recorded a new album, aptly titled Forward. Now, they're back on the road as a 10-piece band, with Doug Berns on bass, Jake Pinto on keys, Jas Walton on tenor sax, Lynn Ligammari on baritone sax, Jackie Coleman on trumpet, Aani Kisslinger on trombone, Alden Harris-McCoy and Tony Jarvis on guitars, and Javier Ramos on congas and shekere. We managed to fit them all into our studio to bring you their special performance of afrobeat-infused EMEFE songs, old and new, for this edition of Soundcheck. (- Sırma Munyar) Setlist: 1. Stutter 2.

Episode Quotes:Why fans are the lifeblood of every sports business [08:46] Frances Johnson: What is the role of sales specifically in today's sports industry?[08:52] Jim Olson: Well, I'm definitely biased when I get asked that because I spent so much of my career focused on the revenue-generating aspects of our business. And I just believe you have to generate revenue. It's revenue-generating; that revenue just opens up the doors to so many different things. You know, it opens up the doors to improving our arena experience. It opens up the doors to improving our broadcast experience. It opens up the doors to improving our retail experience. And obviously, it's cyclical. As you open up those doors and improve all those experiences, the goal is to generate more revenue with it. But, look, we say that our fans are the lifeblood of the organization. We really mean that because they're making a large commitment, be it through buying tickets, watching games, streaming games, their businesses being partners in through sponsorship programs, and so forth. And our fans are the lifeblood because it drives the revenue, which allows us to do so many things.Turning revenue into a better fan experience [10:56] When we make money, we reinvest it back into the company. We're not publicly traded where we got to worry about stockholders. We're not worried about paying off other individuals or whatever it may be. When we make money, we reinvest it right back into the organization, where we have gone through a rebuilding phase with the team, and now people have seen we're making investments into improving both the basketball team and the hockey team, Jazz and the Mammoth, and we're reinvesting into our facilities. We're going to be done in September with a new parking garage that's connected to the arena. 450 new parking stalls to enhance the experience there. And so really we reinvest into our marketing efforts and our social media efforts, and we reinvest back into the community.Jim reveals the most important skills for building a career in sports [23:50] Working in sports is no different than working in every other job. It's competitive. You have to grind. You have to work hard. You have to be focused. You have to learn to work with people. Like, it's, kind of, what everybody knows. It's hard. It's competitive. There might be jobs out there that are 9:00 to 5:00, but I don't know. That's not sports, you know. We work nights, we work weekends, we work holidays, we work early mornings, we work late, whatever. But it's just so fun.
