Dice de él el pianista Vijay Iyer que es "revolucionario". Cuando lo escuchó sintió que en su saxofón florecía "una profusión milagrosa de violetas". Y ahora tres compañeros suyos, los pianistas Kris Davis, Tyshawn Sorey y Craig Taborn se enfrentan al reto que les plantea en "Facets". En su nuevo trabajo, el saxofonista Hafez Modirzadeh reafina ocho notas del piano para luchar contra la "hegemonía cromática" y reivindicar otras afinaciones no occidentales. Es un duelo por la muerte de su padre pero también por las de otros, como Breonna Taylor, la joven afroamericana asesinada a balazos por la policía el año pasado en Louisville. La cantante Jen Shyu presenta "Zero grasses: Ritual for the losses", un trabajo junto a Ambrose Akinmusire (trompeta), Mat Maneri (viola), Thomas Morgan (contrabajo) y Dan Weiss (batería). La combinación es inusual: tenora y piano. Jordi Molina, intérprete de este instrumento tradicional de la cultura catalana, a dúo con el pianista Joan Díaz en "Immersió", un proyecto que nos presenta Ferran Esteve en "La duda y el permanente". El disco está publicado en el sello Seed Music, el mismo que acogió en 2018 "Les set fulles del faig", trabajo a dúo de los pianistas Carles Marigó y Marco Mezquida inspirado por la poesía de Josep Carner.

What are IVF and IUI? Assisted reproductive technology is a common reality for many who are trying to conceive, though it’s rarely talked about in public, or even among one’s closest confidants. In this episode, we talk with Valérie and Jen about each step of their journeys with IUI and IVF, what to expect from the process, and how to keep self-care at the forefront when things get clinical. TAGS: IVF, IUI, Infertility, Reproductive Health, Conception, TTC, Pregnancy, Infertility Awareness, Fertility Treatment *CORRECTION* Valérie was 39 at the time of her egg retrieval, three month shy of turning 40. Jen mentioned "timed pregnancy" but meant "timed intercourse" describing her current method of trying to conceive. We sure hopes it results in pregnancy for her!

There’s a video shot in 1991 of a 13-year-old Jen Shyu playing the hell of Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1 on grand piano backdropped by the Peoria Symphony Orchestra. A lifelong musician who studied theater and opera at Stanford and has performed at  Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, Shyu’s current work veers into the experimental and avant-garde, all while paying homage to a wide range of musical traditions, including Taiwan an East Timor.Often highly theatrical, her work utilizes a wide range of languages (she speaks ten) and instruments, including piano, violin, the two-string Taiwanense moon lute and the Chinese er hu, among others. Shyu closed out last year with the performance of her show “Zero Grasses,” a part of John Zorn's on-going Commissioning series in New York.
