This episode of Deep Focus does not have a spoken introduction. It starts immediately after the previous episode ends. The moment you invoke the name of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda, the widow of John Coltrane, you open a door into other ways of understanding. She was part of her husband's last working band, but after his death, and for the next 40 years, her music became suffused with her spiritual practice and mystical experiences. Her conviction was so thorough that some listeners found it alienating, but others were compelled by it. Although she is no longer with us, her music remains a deep well of discovery. Pianist Vijay Iyer has explored her music richly. What has he found in it? What influence has it had on him? On his music and his life? Let's listen with him to rare, live recordings of her and find out how and why her work is so fascinating. Tune in this Monday (6/8) from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR-HD or wkcr.org.

The best artists, like the best leaders, never treat their work as finished. They master their craft, then break it, reworking, searching, risking public failure rather than coasting on what already worked. Let's call that restlessness unsettlement. It's a value leaders and artists share more deeply than any other.This episode makes the case for it: not repetition, not persistence for its own sake, but the discipline to keep moving toward something not just different but better and the nerve to smash your own best work when there's somewhere else to go.Bob Dylan, John Coltrane, and Henry Threadgill supply the evidence. The lesson isn't "lead like an artist. The stakes and the processes are worlds apart. It's narrower and harder: be self-aware but not self-satisfied, disciplined in a way that's true to yourself, and willing to build, break, and build anew. This is a public episode.

Saxophonist Isaiah Collier spent most of his lifetime playing his instrument religiously. He looked up to his idol John Coltrane so much that he performed several tribute concerts in his name. But the young jazz composer is ready to take on new creative challenges with his upcoming EP, JOY. What kind of new challenges? Well, he showed up at our studio without his saxophone, for one. On this episode of Soundcheck, Collier plays our piano and sings his soulful new songs with his band: with Davis Whitfield on keys, Conway Campbell on bass, and Tim Regis on drums. Collier's compositions are deeply personal, but they carry the spirit of communal celebration, which becomes most apparent in these exuberant, dynamic, and spontaneous performances.

Have you ever wondered whether that quiet inner voice is genuine guidance... or simply your own hopes and fears talking?In this fascinating conversation, CJ sits down with spiritual teacher and author Gary Temple Bodley and spiritual medium Christy Levy to explore one of life's biggest questions: How do we recognize authentic guidance?Gary shares the remarkable story of how meditation led him into direct communication with a collective consciousness known as Joshua, eventually inspiring him to write four channeled books and launch the Joshua Live podcast. Christy describes her own journey into mediumship, automatic writing, and connecting with spirit guides and historical figures to help others discover greater clarity and purpose.Together they explore a radically different way of viewing reality: that your perspective creates your experience, and that shifting your perspective naturally changes your emotional state, your vibration, and ultimately your life. Along the way, they discuss limiting beliefs, why emotions can serve as guides rather than obstacles, and how curiosity can transform even life's most difficult experiences.The conversation takes a deeply personal turn when CJ asks about living with chronic pain. Rather than asking, "Why is this happening to me?" Gary offers a different perspective, suggesting that pain can become a messenger rather than an enemy when we approach it with openness instead of resistance.Near the end of the interview, Christy offers CJ a spontaneous reading that brings forward the symbolic presence of Beethoven and John Coltrane. Their message moves beyond music into the creative process itself, exploring the relationship between listening, surrender, and following what is quietly calling us forward. In one particularly moving moment, CJ is invited to exchange the question, "Why is this happening?" for a far more empowering one:"Who am I becoming through this experience?"Whether you're curious about channeling, fascinated by consciousness, searching for deeper meaning in difficult experiences, or simply trying to trust your own inner wisdom, this conversation offers thoughtful insights into creativity, healing, perspective, and the possibility that guidance is always available to those willing to listen.Sometimes the answers we're searching for aren't found by thinking harder.Sometimes they arrive when we become quiet enough to hear them.Want to learn more about CJ Miller?

His retreats are designed to help you reconnect with your Creative Intelligence and express your true artistic voice. You can also find his upcoming schedule there, and his book, The Spiritual Artist, is available on Amazon.

George Washington could have stayed president for a third term, yet in his famous Farewell Address, he wrote that he would “decline being considered." He penned that address by candlelight in 1796, and curator Lisa Kathleen Graddy explains why the brass stand that held those candles is a significant part of American history.Then, Ethel Payne was the first Black American woman to become an international news correspondent. A flowered, wide brim hat made her stand out in a room full of male reporters, and Smithsonian curator Jennifer Sieck shares how this hat represents Payne's legacy.And, few musicians have changed American music quite like John Coltrane did. He pushed jazz in new directions over his short career. Smithsonian curator Krystal Klingenberg talks about a tenor saxophone that Coltrane played in his final years.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
The great Sonny Rollins left this dimension on May 25, 2026, and the boys find it only fitting to devote two episodes to the jazz colossus. This first installment looks at four albums from the magical 1950s, when every album Sonny released was an event and even John Coltrane was just an up and coming challenger.

#music #milesdavis #mitchhampton #booklunch #booktube #jazztube #musiceducationMay 26 of this year of 2026 marked the Centennial of Miles Davis' birth. For this book lunch I will review and examine two books on jazz, making this the second time I have covered a nonfiction book on musical subject (Laurie Verchomin's The Big Love on Bill Evans being the other one). I purposely chose two rather different books as a meditation on the many different styles of covering real life subjects; Marc Meyers' Why Jazz Happened and James Kaplan's 3 Shades Of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool. This Book Lunch topic will be the first of two parts on the two books.More on this ongoing series, here:June Book Lunch:” 3 Shades Of Blue and Why Jazz Happened” Part 1May 26 of this year of 2026 marked the Centennial of Miles Davis' birth. For this book lunch I will review and examine two books on jazz, making this the second time I have covered a nonfiction book on musical subject (Laurie Verchomin's The Big Love on Bill Evans being the other one.)I purposely chose two rather different books as a meditation on the many different styles of covering real life subjects; Marc Meyers' Why Jazz Happened and James Kaplan's 3 Shades Of Blue: Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the Lost Empire of Cool. While the Myer's book is a utilitarian history suffused with all sorts of important facts about jazz its own genre with its own story, Kaplan's book is an artful, poetic account of the same era. I will feature excerpts from both and reflect not only on the state of Jazz music but upon the state of prose in social and music hostly in general.Direct Link to our episode with the magnificent Laurie Verchomin and her book on Bill Evans:Please enjoy these supplemental, educational videos for this stream: • Fine And Mellow Billie Holiday With Cole... • Original Dixieland Jass Band - Livery Stab... • Bennie Moten's Kansas City Orchestra - Mot...

John Kapusta's Self-Realization Nation: How Artists of the Creative Counterculture Made a New America (U California Press, 2026) is the story of an unexpected group of performing artists who led one of the most influential artistic movements in contemporary American history. After World War II, personal fulfillment emerged as a defining American cultural ideal. Self-realization--the quest to become our authentic selves--remains a powerful part of American culture and arts today. In Self-Realization Nation, John Kapusta provides a lively cultural history of how an overlooked movement of musicians, dancers, and actors championed the ideal of self-realization. These performers, who spanned many backgrounds, identities, genres, and artistic styles, became what he calls the creative counterculture. Artists as varied as Sonny Rollins, John Cage, Anna Halprin, Alice and John Coltrane, and Pauline Oliveros shared an approach to creativity focused on letting go of limiting beliefs and subverting oppressive social norms. Through colorful vignettes, Kapusta reveals how these artists made their art and how their approach spread beyond the performing arts to influence such fields as psychology, education, and wellness. Ultimately, these creative counterculturists came to define a new vision of an America where everyone was free to be themselves, together. Learn more about your ad choices.

Direction à présent le Maroc, pour parler d'un collectif d'artistes issus de différentes disciplines : le Syndicat national marocain du fun (MNSF) s'est donné pour objectif d'ouvrir de nouveaux espaces de fête à Casablanca. Pour répondre à un besoin de désintoxication numérique, de vraies rencontres et de partage, dans un cadre sûr et confortable, le collectif organise tout au long de l'année des sessions d'écoute musicale dans différents lieux de la capitale économique marocaine. Mais pour y participer, il faut adhérer au Syndicat du fun ! De notre correspondant à Casablanca, Malgré trois tampons du bureau de la division technique, dont un horodaté, la carte d'adhérent n'est pas encore tout à fait prête. Il faut encore passer le bureau des signatures, et obtenir l'équivalent du « laissez-passer A-38 » pour s'installer confortablement dans le jardin verdoyant du cinéma Ritz où se tient la session d'écoute du jour. Une lourdeur bureaucratique qui devient source d'amusement et de création, mais aussi une étape vers un monde où le téléphone portable est honni. Nabil Qerjij, l'un des fondateurs du Syndicat marocain national du fun. « Ces sessions, ça nous permet de revenir un peu à l'humain, à celui qui adore la musique. Par exemple, la prochaine session, on va la faire avec un éboueur qui collectionne les disques de Bollywood, parce que chacun de nous a une histoire avec un disque, soit un vinyle, soit quoi que ce soit. » Ce jour-là, c'est Adil Hanine, le batteur du mythique groupe de rock casaoui Hoba Hoba Spirit, qui est invité à faire écouter au public ses inspirations musicales. Un thé ou un café, et c'est parti pour une session qui offre un voyage éclectique entre John Coltrane et Jimi Hendrix en passant par les Beatles. Le tout, agrémenté d'anecdotes personnelles ou historiques. « Aujourd'hui ce qui est un peu dommage dans la scène mondiale, et aussi ici au Maroc, c'est qu'on est dans une monotonie d'événements, c'est-à-dire qu'un événement, c'est un DJ et des enceintes et du boom boom boom, il y a pas de musiques expérimentales, il y a pas des choses qui se passent la journée aussi… Il n'y a pas de lien social. Ici, les gens, ils discutent entre eux, ils se rencontrent. Nous, on prône l'idée de revenir à la base. La musique, c'est social », explique Nabil Qerjij. Objectif du syndicat : offrir la plus grande diversité de profils, d'âge et de goûts musicaux À la base de cette initiative, un collectif d'une dizaine d'artistes qui s'évertuent à proposer des évènements gratuits, organisés bénévolement. Sophia Alami, architecte, reçoit dans les ateliers de la médina, où se discutent et se préparent les évènements. Les changements urbanistiques rapides de la ville les ont poussés à agir. « Quand les espaces publics deviennent de moins en moins accessibles, quand les endroits mythiques de Casa commencent à fermer et qu'il n'y a rien pour les remplacer, et quand les lieux de sorties deviennent de plus en plus inaccessibles, de plus en plus chers, nous on a cherché à faire des événements qui ne nous coûtent pas trop chers pour qu'on puisse avoir un public qui vient gratuitement », développe Sophia Alami. Les sessions précédentes ont aussi bien mis à l'honneur le métal que la House de Détroit. Filmées avec des petites caméras numériques du début des années 2000, elles sont disponibles en ligne sur YouTube. L'objectif du syndicat est de continuer à offrir la plus grande diversité de profils, d'âge et de goûts musicaux possible.

El pasado 25 de mayo de este año de 2026, con 95 años de edad nos dejaba el saxofonista Sonny Rollins. Su increíble longevidad nos hizo creer que nunca se iría, que permanecería por siempre entre nosotros como testigo de excepción y protagonista estelar de lo que fue la gran era del jazz. Hoy rendimos en Radio Jazznoend un humilde pero sentido homenaje al que fue llamado con justicia el coloso del saxofón. Nuestro programa recorrerá las anécdotas de su carrera, sus conflictos vitales y sobre todo, su música. La música con la que se erigió como una leyenda de la historia del jazz, con la que exhibió una autoridad inapelable, un sonido contundente y rocoso, un virtuosismo al límite y un estilo original e irrepetible, aderezado con una imaginación improvisativa inagotable y un sentido del humor irónico y burlón. Y más allá de todo ello, hablaremos también de sus inseguridades, de sus exilios creativos, de su denodado esfuerzo para encontrar su propio camino entre las inspiraciones místicas de John Coltrane y las vanguardias libertarias de los sesenta. Un tormentoso proceso del que finalmente se alzó triunfante, porque conforme aquel jazz iconoclasta se consumía en su propio fuego hasta extinguirse, Rollins, siempre con un pie firmemente anclado en el jazz tradicional, consiguió sobrevivir a los temporales que barrieron aquella vanguardia, hasta ser reconocido como una figura totémica de la historia del jazz cuyo legado subsistirá para siempre.

Zijn leven en werk getuigen van een uitzonderlijke artistieke nieuwsgierigheid, discipline en een onuitputtelijke drang tot vernieuwing. Met zijn krachtige tenor-sound en improvisatietalent heeft hij generaties muzikanten geïnspireerd. Rollins groeide op in Harlem, een broedplaats van jazz en cultuur. Al op jonge leeftijd raakte hij gefascineerd door muziek, onder invloed van grootheden als Coleman Hawkins en Lester Young. In de jaren vijftig brak hij door met opnames als Saxophone Colossus (1956), waarop zijn virtuositeit en speelse improvisaties duidelijk hoorbaar zijn. Zijn composities, zoals “St. Thomas”, combineren Caribische invloeden met swing en laten zien hoe veelzijdig hij was. Wat Rollins bijzonder maakt, is niet alleen zijn technische beheersing, maar ook zijn filosofische benadering van muziek. Hij beschouwde jazz als een vorm van persoonlijke expressie en spirituele ontwikkeling. Dit blijkt onder meer uit zijn beroemde “bridge sabbatical” eind jaren vijftig, waarin hij zich tijdelijk terugtrok van het podium om intensief te oefenen op de Williamsburg Bridge in New York. Deze periode van zelfreflectie versterkte zijn geluid en zijn vertrouwen als artiest. In de jaren zestig en zeventig experimenteerde Rollins met nieuwe stijlen en invloeden, waaronder free jazz en wereldmuziek. Zijn open houding tegenover verandering hield zijn muziek fris en relevant. Albums als The Bridge (1962) markeren zijn terugkeer na stilte en tonen een rijpere, diepgaandere muzikale stem. Naast zijn muzikale prestaties staat Rollins bekend om zijn integriteit en toewijding. Hij sprak zich uit voor burgerrechten en bleef trouw aan zijn eigen artistieke visie, ongeacht commerciële druk. Deze onafhankelijkheid maakt hem tot een voorbeeld van creatieve vrijheid. Zijn carrière, die meer dan zes decennia omspant, leverde hem talloze onderscheidingen op, waaronder een Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Toch bleef hij bescheiden en gericht op groei. Zelfs op latere leeftijd benadrukte hij dat hij zichzelf nog steeds als leerling zag. Sonny Rollins' nalatenschap is er een van moed, discipline en liefde voor muziek. Zijn levensverhaal laat zien dat ware grootheid ligt in voortdurende ontwikkeling en het durven volgen van je eigen pad. Met zijn warme, expressieve klank en positieve energie blijft hij een bron van inspiratie voor muziekliefhebbers wereldwijd.

To celebrate his centennial birthday, Adam and Peter filmed this episode in front of a live audience at The Sheldon Concert Hall in St. Louis, MO.Chapters Legend:
Een TORcast geheel gewijd aan de muziek van Miles Davis. Miles werd honderd jaar geleden (op 26 mei 1926) geboren en ontwikkelde zich tot één van de belangrijkste musici, niet alleen in de geschiedenis van de jazz maar in die van hele hedendaagse muziek. In deze TORcast laat Willem Habers een selectie van zijn favoriete Davis-opnames horen. Geen uitputtende opsomming, geen verantwoord chronologisch overzicht, geen doorwrocht spectrum van ’s mans invloeden en werk maar een heel persoonlijke keuze uit het gigantische oeuvre van deze jazzgigant. Playlist: So What Miles Davis (trompet), Bill Evans (piano), Cannonball Adderly (altsax), John Coltrane (tenorsax), Paul Chambers (bas), Jimmy Cobb (drums) Move met Gerry Mulligan, Max Roach, Lee Konitz, Karl Winding en John Barber (tuba) If I Were A Bell Miles Davis (tp), Red Garland (piano), John Coltrane (tenorsax), Paul Chambers (bas), Philly Jo Jones (drums) Someday My Prince Will Come Miles Davis (tp), John Coltrane (sax), Hank Mobley (sax), Wynton Kelly (piano), Psul Chambers (bas), Jimmy Cobb (drums) My Funny Valentine Miles Davis (trompet), Herbie Hancock (piano), Wayne Shorter (tenorsax), Ron Carter (bas), Tony Williams (drums) Générique – Ascenseur pour l’echafaud Miles Davis (trompet), Barney Wilen (sax), René Urtreger (piano), Pierre Michelot (bas) en Kenny Clarke (drums) Concierto de Aranjuez: Adagio Miles Davis (trompet), orkest onder leiding van Gil Evans Een paar bespiegelingen… De muziek van Miles Davis is niet slechts een hoofdstuk in de geschiedenis van de jazz; zij is een voortdurend herlezing van wat muziek kan zijn. Wie naar Davis luistert, hoort niet alleen noten, maar ook een bepaalde houding ten opzichte van tijd, stilte en vernieuwing. Zijn oeuvre lijkt zich steeds te onttrekken aan elke definitie die men erop loslaat. Dat maakt zijn betekenis filosofisch relevant: Davis laat zien dat identiteit niet iets statisch is, maar een proces van voortdurende transformatie. Een van de opvallendste kenmerken van zijn muziek is het gebruik van ruimte. In albums als *Kind of Blue* wordt stilte niet als leegte ervaren, maar als een actief element. Deze benadering roept vragen op over de aard van expressie zelf. Moet muziek altijd gevuld zijn, of kan juist het weglaten een diepere vorm van communicatie zijn? Davis' antwoord lijkt te zijn dat betekenis ontstaat in de spanning tussen klank en stilte. Daarmee sluit hij aan bij een bredere existentiële intuïtie: dat wat niet gezegd wordt, vaak even belangrijk is als wat wel wordt uitgesproken. Daarnaast belichaamt Davis het idee van artistieke vrijheid als morele houding. Hij weigerde zich te conformeren aan de verwachtingen van zijn publiek of de industrie. Telkens wanneer hij succes bereikte—of het nu ging om bebop, modal jazz of fusion—koos hij ervoor om een nieuwe richting in te slaan. In die zin is zijn carrière een praktijk van wat de filosoof Nietzsche “zelfoverwinning” noemde: het voortdurend achterlaten van het oude zelf om ruimte te maken voor het nieuwe. Deze radicale trouw aan vernieuwing maakt hem tot een bron van inspiratie voor hedendaagse musici. De invloed van Miles Davis op huidige jazzmuzikanten ligt dan ook niet alleen in specifieke harmonieën of technieken, maar in een manier van denken. Moderne jazz kenmerkt zich door hybriditeit: invloeden van hiphop, elektronische muziek en wereldmuziek vloeien samen tot nieuwe vormen. Deze openheid is rechtstreeks schatplichtig aan Davis' grensverleggende experimenten, vooral in zijn latere werk zoals *Bitches Brew*. Hij legitimeerde het idee dat jazz geen afgesloten traditie is, maar een permeabel veld waarin alles kan worden opgenomen. Ten slotte blijft Davis relevant omdat hij de luisteraar actief betrekt. Zijn muziek vraagt om aandacht, om interpretatie, om een zekere existentiële inzet. Zij is nooit volledig transparant; er blijft altijd iets ongrijpbaars. In een tijd waarin muziek vaak als achtergrondconsumptie fungeert, herinnert Davis ons eraan dat luisteren een vorm van denken is. Zo bezien is Miles Davis niet alleen een muzikant, maar een filosoof in klank. Zijn erfenis leeft voort in elke muzikant die durft te experimenteren, te twijfelen en opnieuw te beginnen—en in elke luisteraar die bereid is om in die zoektocht mee te gaan.

Kirk returns to Kind of Blue, taking a closer look at two more tunes off of the 1959 jazz classic. First, he digs into the modified 12-bar blues "Freddie Freeloader," with a focus on Wynton Kelly's much-emulated opening piano solo. He then compares and contrasts how John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley approached the closing track, "Flamenco Sketches" on tenor and alto sax, respectively.

Cookin', Relaxin', Workin', and Steamin' capture Miles Davis on one of music history's most remarkable upswings. He had recently become clean after a years-long heroin addiction that led to his exclusion from major record labels and clubs. And now, in 1956, he had a deal with Columbia - the Cadillac of record labels - and a band he loved: Red Garland on piano, Philly Joe Jones on drums, Paul Chambers on bass and John Coltrane playing the sax. In this episode of You'll Hear It, jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness go through each album. They discuss the outsized influence of Ahmad Jamal, Red Garland's Red spread technique, the power of Miles's chatter on Relaxin' and whether this is the greatest rhythm section in the history of recorded music. Whether this is your first introduction to Miles Davis, or you've been listening to these albums for years, you'll walk away from this episode with a new understanding of, and appreciation for, Miles and his first great quintet. ------------------------------Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://openstudiojazz.com/yhi------------------------------Some Day My Prince Will Come: https://youtu.be/a_Ygq74SjvQBirth of the Cool: https://youtu.be/eEl9-z6G2tU My Funny Valentine: https://youtu.be/-9mMbZMtyGs -------------------------------About You'll Hear It:In this popular music series, Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time.

APRIL IS JAZZ APPRECIATION MONTH! This April, we not only celebrate all things Jazz... but we celebrate specifically the centennial of not one but two Icons of Jazz Culture, Miles Davis and John Coltrane. Miles and Coltrane was a combination that just couldn't miss.. I mean they went together like peanut butter and jelly or tickle on a belly, like cheese on grits and like The Beatles had hits. All Young Jazz Lovers know their collective story and history and of course the music, the music, the music... yet never tire of indulging in the magic of their artistry one more once! This episode of Jazzism (a katzpheno mix) is ALL TRANE... with a bit of Miles on the side. Face it, you cannot have one without the other. I also give a few worthy artists their due as they present the music of John Coltrane in their own unique way. So for you die hard Coltrane fans...this one's for you.

Ornette Coleman's The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) may be the most controversial album in jazz history, and one of the most important.In 1959, a broke musician from Fort Worth, Texas arrived in New York City with a plastic saxophone and a band that didn't play by the rules. And EVERYONE had an opinion about it.Jazz legends hated it. Miles Davis said Ornette was "all screwed up inside." Max Roach punched him in the mouth. Dizzy Gillespie said Ornette's music wasn't even jazz. Meanwhile, Leonard Berstein and John Coltrane celebrated him.So what exactly is The Shape of Jazz to Come, and why was it so radical? Jazz pianists Peter Martin and Adam Maness break down every track, from "Lonely Woman" to "Chronology". They dig into harmolodics, free jazz, and how Ornette shaped everyone from Miles Davis (who eventually came around) to the '80s burnout crew, including Wynton Marsalis, who personally recommended this record to Peter.Dig into The Shape of Jazz to Come with us, and learn why this soft spoken saxophonist inspired both criticism and awe.-------------------------------Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs:https://openstudiojazz.com/yhi-------------------------------Related You'll Hear It episodes:Mingus Ah Um: https://youtu.be/XYeRZ0Awui4Giant Steps: https://youtu.be/8umC2yZlPHcKind of Blue: https://youtu.be/ShzSnjP8bSgTime Out: https://youtu.be/-_qPhFSJeQUNina Simone at Town Hall: https://youtu.be/2PDjN5_2y5Q-------------------------------About You'll Hear It:In this popular music series Adam and Peter break down the greatest albums of all time.
