Welcome to our new series, “The Beat Goes On,” where we will celebrate the work and enduring influence of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs, and the other writers whom we identify as “The Beats.” - that crop of artists who worked to expand our consciousness, exploring the hidden possibilities of post WW2 America in the 1950s - Other significant names to be explored: Diane Di Prima, Tuli Kupferberg, Ed Sanders, Delmore Schwarz, Anne Waldman, Carolyn Cassidy, and many others.We will also include jazz musicians like Miles Davis, John Coltrane and Dizzy Gillespie, whose sinuous Bebop lines influenced the expansive prose of Kerouac and poetry of Ginsberg, and comedians like Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, Brother Theodore and Dick Gregory with their scathing critique and unmasking of our nation's hypocrisy beneath the self-deceptive rhetoric of American exceptionalism.  And, then there are their artistic children like Hunter S. Thompson, Charles Bukowski, Tom Waits and Lou Reed…. The list goes on.First off: we need to define that confusing term “beat”… Once the satirists were able to pin them down, the Beats and their devotees were labelled “Beatniks” (a cold war epithet) and put into a farcical box. This is where I, as a child, first became aware of them through the character of Maynard G. Krebs on the Dobie Gillis show. The child-like, pre-hippie with the dirty sweatshirt and goatee, indelibly played by Bob Denver, later of Gilligan fame. He was a gentle figure of fun, not to be taken seriously. But, the truth goes so much deeper. Kerouac defined Beat as short for “beatitude” - a state of grace, a codex for the maturing “peace and love” Baby Boom generation coming up - those in search of existence's deeper meaning beyond the consumerist and war-like American culture being offered as our only option.Well, boy, do we need them now! HENRY MILLER INTERVIEWOur inaugural offering is a 1964 interview with the writer Henry Miller, of TROPIC OF CANCER, TROPIC OF CAPRICORN, and THE ROSY CRUCIFIXION TRILOGY fame, among many others. This is an insightful, in depth look at a artist of gargantuan influence. Miller was interviewed by Audrey June Wood  in Minneapolis during a speaking tour; he considered this interview to be one of his best. Miller discourses on some of his favorite books and authors and the struggle of writing well. It was released on Smithsonian/ Folkways Records.Strictly speaking, Miller was not a Beat - he preceded them, and out lived many of them, making it to 88 in 1980, but he was their spiritual and artistic pathfinder.Living hand to mouth, on the edge, abroad in Paris, writing free form in a raw, explicit, semi-autobiographical manner, telling the truth about sex, love, art, and struggle - he set the artistic compass for the Beats - as Dostoevsky and Walt Whitman had done before him. They are all part of a chain - a chain of searchers, and we are fortunate to have these lights to guide us on our own personal journeys to self realization. Please enjoy…THE BEAT GOES ON.

Två udda fåglar och två av de mest begåvade. Multiinstrumentalisten Emma-Jean Thackray (aktuell med starka albumet Weirdo), och violinisten Sudan Archives. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Emma-Jean hämtade inspiration i en tid då amerikansk jazz färdades ut i rymden, och blev både andlig och vetenskaplig. Hennes trumpetspel influerades lika mycket av brassbanden kring gruvorna i norra England som av Miles Davis. En osannolik jazzfunkgudinna från Yorkshire som drömde sig bort till andra platser och planeter, medan Sudan Archives, eller Brittney Parks, från Ohio förde samman modern R&B med sudanesiska och västafrikanska rytmer. Fiolen blev som en förlängning av hennes kropp.I avsnittet möter Mats Nileskär även Nubya Garcia och Mahalia.

From BITCHES BREW to "Feels So Good" and beyond, author Matthew Reed Baker delves into the funky, smooth, and transcendent records that resulted from the merging of jazz with R&B, pop, rock, and much much more in the 1970s. Miles Davis, Weather Report, Chuck Mangione, Herbie Hancock, Joni Mitchell, and Steely Dan are just some of the acts that are discussed in 1970s Jazz Fusion, a welcome new installment from 33 1/3's spin-off series on musical genres. Bookseller and writer Justin Remer hosts this discussion of both the book and the music.   Hosted and produced by Justin Remer. Recorded remotely via Zencastr.  Opening music: "Optimism (Instrumental)" by Duck the Piano Wire  Closing music: "Rule of 3s (Solemnity Child)" by Elastic No-No Band

STANDARS SEMANAL.-771.Gee,Baby,Ain´t I Good to You.-VINILOS MITICOS DEL JAZZ.-JOHN COLTRANE - Blue Train.-JAZZACTUALIDAD.-.ANA PEREIRA-BAILA LA LLUVIA Blue Train es un álbum de estudio delsaxofonista y compositor de jazz John Coltrane . Fue lanzado a través de Blue Note Records en enero de 1958. [ 1 ] Es la única sesión de Coltrane como líder para Blue Note. [ 8 ] La grabación tuvo lugar en el estudio de Rudy Van Gelder el 15 de septiembre de 1957. Coltrane compuso cuatro de los cinco temas del disco. Su interpretación exhibe elementos tempranos del estilo característico por el que posteriormente se hizo conocido. Blue Train obtuvo la certificación de oro en ventas de la Asociación de la Industria Discográfica de Estados Unidos (RIAA) en 2001.El álbum se grabó durante la residencia de Coltrane en el Five Spot como miembro del cuarteto Thelonious Monk . El equipo incluye a los compañeros de banda de Coltrane en Miles Davis , Paul Chambers al bajo y Philly Joe Jones a la batería, quienes ya habían trabajado con el pianista Kenny Drew . Tanto el trompetista Lee Morgan como el trombonista Curtis Fuller eran músicos de jazz prometedores, y ambos fueron miembros de Jazz Messengers de Art Blakey en su momento. A diferencia de su anterior sello, Blue Note pagó a los músicos para que ensayaran la música durante un par de días antes de la sesión de grabación. La forma de tocar de Coltrane muestra la evolución hacia lo que se convertiría en su estilo característico. Sus solos son más armónicos o verticales y sus líneas son arpegiadas. Su ritmo a menudo se desmarcaba del tiempo o lo superaba, en lugar de tocar sobre él o por detrás. [ 9 ] Durante una entrevista en 1960, Coltrane describió Blue Train como su álbum favorito hasta ese momento. [ 13 ] El siguiente gran álbum de John Coltrane, Giant Steps , grabado en 1959, abriría nuevos caminos melódicos y armónicos en el jazz, mientras que Blue Train se apega al estilo hard bop de la época. El musicólogo Lewis Porter también ha demostrado una relación armónica entre «Lazy Bird» de Coltrane y « Lady Bird » de Tadd Dameron . [ 14 ] [ 15 ] Mientras estaba en el podcast "Traneumentary" de Joe Vella, Michael Cuscuna , el productor de reediciones de Blue Note , comentó: Estamos escuchando "Blue Train", que para mí es una de las piezas más hermosas de uno de los discos más hermosos que Coltrane grabó en los cincuenta. Es su primera declaración de madurez real, y escribió todos los temas de este álbum menos uno, algo muy poco común en los cincuenta, y cada uno es una joya, en particular el tema principal, "Blue Train". Y aunque es bastante fácil tocar blues, este tiene una cualidad suspendida y evocadora. Ana Pereira presenta su primer trabajo discográfico "Baila la lluvia" (Sedajazz Records), una reinterpretación del bolero desde una perspectiva personal y contemporánea. Acompañada por Isaac Martín (bajo y dirección musical), Daniel Orts (piano) y Tico Porcar (batería), fusiona este género con el jazz y otras músicas, aportando una visión fresca y actual de un género que se convierte así en atemporal. Su voz delicada, elegante y expresiva, y los arreglos sofisticados interpretados por el genial trío que la acompaña, consiguen que el directo sea toda una experiencia íntima y envolvente que transporta al público a través del tiempo en una conexión pasado-presente con la música como compañera de viaje.

(S4 EP 21) Wayne Shorter's -Apple Apple (Blue Note)  Released October 1967 - Recorded February 3 and 24, 1966Wayne Shorter's Adam's Apple (1967) is a landmark post-bop album that captures the saxophonist at his creative peak. Recorded in 1966 at Van Gelder Studio, the album features Herbie Hancock (piano), Reggie Workman (bass), and Joe Chambers (drums)—a quartet that delivers both lyrical subtlety and rhythmic daring. The record blends blues, modal jazz, Latin grooves, and impressionistic balladry, showcasing Shorter's sophisticated yet accessible compositional voice. Tracks like the iconic “Footprints” and the soulful title track highlight his melodic clarity and harmonic depth. Hancock's intuitive comping and soloing add dimension throughout, while Workman and Chambers bring texture and flexibility. This was the first recorded version of “Footprints,” later made famous by Miles Davis. Produced by Alfred Lion for Blue Note, Adam's Apple is one of the finest examples of mid-'60s jazz, balancing structure and exploration. It remains a timeless, essential entry in Shorter's catalog and the post-bop era..Signature Song: "Adam's Apple," "El Gaucho, “"Footprints"Full Album: YouTube  Spotify Playlist: YouTube

Passing the thermometer of conversation over the rock and roll news to see where the mercury rises, which this week includes … … the new Barbra Streisand duets album. Duets are ‘playlets', small intense dramas that depend on human interaction, but so many are recorded separately (including, tragically, Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell). … but … duets you HAVE to hear! eg Cash & Carter, Otis Redding & Carla Thomas, Ray Charles & Betty Carter, Siouxsie & Morrissey, Nick Cave & Kylie, Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush. … the extraordinary story of the rebirth and Indian Summer of Mississippi John Hurt after 40 years of invisibility.   … blues lyrics that now seem unimaginable. … Frank Zappa as a drug dealer? Miles Davis as a pimp? Cyndi Lauper as a trophy wife? Real or made-up Miami Vice rock star cameos.  … great opening lines – “We got married in a fever …!” … how you always learn something you never knew about someone from their obituary - like Mike Peters' involvement in the highest altitude concert ever performed (on Everest with Glenn Tilbrook and Slim Jim Phantom). … where people listen to the Word In Your Ear “poddy” – eg in the bath, in court, at wedding receptions, by the Allman Brothers' graveside. Plus birthday guest John Montagna on rock stars who should be in a TV series.Help us to keep the conversation going by joining our Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/wordinyourear Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Listen to an interview with legendary jazz saxophonist and composer Gary Bartz. Bartz has performed with Charles Mingus, Max Roach, Art Blakey, and McCoy Tyner. In 1970, Bartz joined Miles Davis' band, contributing to the seminal Live-Evil sessions. But its Bartz work as a bandleader during the 1970s that cemented his reputation as a jazz icon, from his recordings with the Mizell Brothers, to performances with his group Ntu Troop. A two-time Grammy Award winner, Bartz was recently named an NEA Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts.

Was haben die weltberühmten Jazz-Alben «Kind of Blue», «The Blues and the Abstract Truth» und «Porgy & Bess» gemeinsam? Der Bassist ist immer derselbe: Paul Chambers. Er war der herausragende Bassist seiner Generation, spielte im ersten grossen Quintett von Miles Davis und legte auch als Bandleader die Basslatte hoch.

Jordan and Alex avoided showering for days to dive into one of the enduring artifacts of San Francisco’s heady heyday: Big Brother and the Holding Company’s 'Cheap Thrills,' or as everyone knows it, “Janis Joplin’s first album.” The pair swap places for once as Jordan passionately reels off hate for Big Brother, whom Alex allows are “fine.” Along the way they’ll digress into The Evil That Men Do (particularly Albert Grossman and Clive Davis), Alex’s favorite Lou Reed vocal ever, why Cannonball Adderley was the best foil Miles Davis ever had, and Paul McCartney's weird musical moment with Steve "The Joker" Miller during the final days of the Beatles. And of course, they’ll be waxing poetic about sweet Janis, one of the Sixties’ saddest (and most joyful) figureheads.

The Horn Signal is proudly brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. Join hosts John Snell and Preston Shepard as they interview horn players around the world.  Today's episode features Robert Watt, former Assistant Principal Horn of the Los Angeles Philharmonic.   Robert Lee Watt was born in Neptune, New Jersey the 4th child of seven. His father, Edward Watt Jr. played trumpet professionally in a Jazz ensemble, “The New Jersey Squires of Rhythm.” When Robert was eight years old he got curious about his father's trumpet, kept high on a shelf. Too short to reach it, Robert conscripted his little brother Tony to help. But with Tony on his shoulders he lost his balance, causing both of them to fall to the floor, trumpet in hand.  Robert then attempted to fix the dents in the instrument by using a hammer. The badly damaged trumpet was the way Robert's father discovered his interest in horns. After a serious reproach, Robert's father tried to teach him trumpet. However, it wasn't until years later that Robert discovered the instrument he really wanted to play.    While helping his father clean out a room in the basement Robert discovered some old 78 recordings. The curious Robert gave the old recordings a spin. It was the “William Tell Overture” on hearing the French horns on that recording he asked his father what instrument came in after the trumpet. His father informed him that it was a “French horn” “A middle instrument that never gets to play the melody like the trumpet…why, do you like that horn?” His father asked. Robert replied, “It gives me chills when I hear it, I love it. That's what I want to play.” His father informed the young Robert that it really wasn't the instrument for him. Explaining that it was an instrument for thin-lipped white boys. “Your lips are too thick to play that small, thin, mouthpiece. You'd be better suited for the trumpet like you father.”  Upon reaching high school Robert seriously pursued the French horn. Approaching the band director of his high school in Asbury Park, Robert was again told that his lips were too thick to play the French horn. After being persistent, the band director gave Robert an old French horn that barely worked.  Nevertheless, Robert advanced quickly and was soon winning auditions for honor bands and orchestras throughout the state of New Jersey, bringing great honor to his high school. After high school Robert was accepted to the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston where he majored in music and studied French horn with Harry Shapiro of the Boston Symphony. Mr. Shapiro took great interest in Robert pushing him hard. At the end of his first year Mr. Watt was asked to perform the Strauss Horn Concerto No. 1, with the Boston Pops Orchestra under Arthur Fiedler. The following summer he received a fellowship to the Berkshire Music Festival at Tanglewood. Returning to the Conservatory for his third year Mr. Watt was informed by the president's office that the Conservatory had financial problems and that all scholarships would be canceled for the coming year. At the end of his junior year at the Conservatory Mr. Watt was informed by his French horn teacher that it was time for him to audition for a position in a major symphony orchestra. On the advice of his teacher, Mr. Watt chose Los Angeles and Chicago. When Mr. Watt returned from his audition journey, he had made the finals at both auditions. Two months later The Los Angeles Philharmonic offered him the position of Assistant First Horn. Making him the first African American French horn player hired by a major symphony orchestra in the United States. Mr. Watt joined the ranks of only a handful of African Americans playing in symphony orchestras in these United States. According to the American Symphony Orchestra League, that represented less than 2% of the total, out of twenty-six top orchestras. Mr. Watt held his position until 2007, a career spanning 37 years.  Mr. Watt performed several times as soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta and several orchestras in the Los Angeles area as well as the Oakland Symphony performing the Richard Strauss Second Horn Concerto While a member of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Mr. Watt has performed with principal and guest conductors that included: Leonard Bernstein, Eugene Ormandy, Eric Leinsdrof, Carla Maria Giulini, Pierre Boulez, Zubin Mehta, Henry Lewis, James De Priest, Michael Tilson Thomas, Herbert Blumstedt, Andre Previn, Marin Alsop, Esa-Pekka Salonen and Christoph Von Dohnányi. Included among the many world renown artists he has performed with were:     Yo-Yo Ma, Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jose Carreras, Wynton Marsalias, Henry Mancini, Gladys Night, Isaac Hayes, Quincy Jones, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Barry White, Rihanna, Paula Abdul, Herbie Hancock, Lalo Schifrin, The Carpenters, Benny Carter, Quincy Jones, Bon Jovi, Elton John and film composer, John Williams. He has played on film scores of: Spiderman II, Rush Hour, Mission Impossible, Spike Lee's “Miracle at St. Anna, Golf and many others.  Mr. Watt has played the music for the Twentieth Century Fox cartoons, The Simpsons, American Dad, Family Guy and King of the Hill for the past three years. He played on the five hour TV special “The Jacksons, an American Family” under Harold Wheeler, and played for several years for the TV program “Startrek Voyager.” In the late 80's Mr. Watt helped organize an African American Brass Quintet, “The New Brass Ensemble” which performed throughout the United States and abroad.  Mr. Watt has done public speaking lecturing on music and African history in the Los Angeles area. He was hired as guest professor at Los Angele City College teaching the course, “Music of Black Americans”. Recently Mr. Watt executive produced a short film in memory of his friend Miles Davis. The film is based on the musical composition “Missing Miles” by Todd Cochran, commissioned by Mr. Watt, for French horn and piano. The short film was chosen by the Pan African Film Festival and the Garden State Film Festival.  Mr. Watt is a licensed airplane pilot with an instrument rating. He is a saber fencer and he speaks German and Italian.

One afternoon in Oslo changed the course of jazz piano history! In this episode, Adam and Peter dive into Facing You, the hit 1971 ECM release where a 26-year-old Keith Jarrett – torn between Miles Davis' electric band and his own acoustic instincts – walked alone into a studio and recorded eight completely improvised masterpieces. From the gospel-tinged “In Front” to the apex moment in “Lalene,” we explore his remarkable touch, bluesy intuition, and the distinctive distorted Steinway that producer Manfred Eicher perfectly captured. We place this album among solo piano giants (Monk, Tatum, Evans), lovingly examine Jarrett's “fussy” reputation, and show how this afternoon session laid the blueprint for his legendary Köln Concert. Five decades later, we jazz pianists are still chasing the magic Keith created that day.

Episode 73: Keyon Harrold. Everywhere I turn, I see Keyon Harrold. He's widely regarded as one of the greatest trumpeters alive today, pushing the new jazz generation forward with power and soul. His solo album Foreverland was GRAMMY-nominated this year for Best Alternative Jazz Album, and his resume is stacked — Jay-Z, Common, Erykah Badu, Diana Ross, Mac Miller, Robert Glasper, the Count Basie Orchestra, Terrace Martin — and he played all the trumpet parts in the Miles Davis biopic Miles Ahead. Keyon is a dear friend and an incredible human being. He drops so much wisdom in this episode and truly inspired me with his words. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the great Keyon Harrold. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Paris's status as a cosmopolitan hub for artists from all over the world was forged in the 20th century, particularly in the postwar period, when it was seen as a beacon for Black artists and intellectuals fleeing colonisation, racism and segregation in their countries of origin. The "Paris Noir" exhibition at Paris's Pompidou Centre is now exploring that pivotal moment when the French capital served as a crossroads for the major Black figures who were debating and designing a post-colonial future. The show features 350 works by 150 artists of African heritage – many of whom have been historically sidelined or forgotten – in an attempt to re-write these "unrecognised and fundamental" contributions into a more complete history of art. In this programme, we meet American musician and composer Josiah Woodson, whose move to Paris 12 years ago broadened his artistic horizons, collaborating with artists from West Africa and the Caribbean. He tells us why author James Baldwin was a "major poetic and ideological inspiration" in his own trajectory, and why stepping into the footsteps of legendary trumpet players like Miles Davis was an important part of his transatlantic shift. Author and journalist Yasmina Jaafar explains why African Americans, in particular, chose Paris in the context of 1940s geopolitics and cultural trends.The growing popularity of jazz was one of the major draws for the many Black musicians who performed in Paris in the post-war years. One of the key venues in that effervescent scene was Le Bal Blomet: established in 1924, it is the oldest jazz club continuously operating in Europe today. Its director, Guillaume Cornut, tells us how the local Martinican community would organise informal concerts and gatherings in the 1920s, which gave rise to its nickname "Le Bal Nègre", and how the dancehall became renowned for the diversity of the music on offer.Historian Ludovic Tournès explains how differing attitudes to jazz in the United States and Europe meant that many African American musicians were keen to pursue their careers in Paris, where audiences and music industry figures demonstrated a respect and appreciation for the art form that stood in stark contrast to the reception many of these performers got in the segregated states of the American South.We meet Kévi Donat, whose guided tours of "Paris Noir" reveal the Black politicians, artists and writers who have been integral to the history of both Paris and France, but who have not always gone down in history to become household names. Kévi shines a light on some of the racist struggles that even a celebrated author like Alexandre Dumas came up against, and how a conference at the Sorbonne in 1956 distilled the growing consciousness of a "Panafrican" movement, uniting various Black communities on three continents.Artist Valérie John tells us why leaving her island of Martinique was a pre-requisite in the 1980s as she pursued her studies at art school in Paris. Having been commissioned to create a site-specific installation for the "Paris Noir" show, Valérie expands upon the concept of a Black Atlantic, and the potent symbolism this expanse of water evokes, explaining how the legacy of the slave trade has informed the Black experience in all of the colonies established at its edges.Finally, Alicia Knock, a curator of modern and contemporary art, discusses her efforts to fill a "major gap" in the Pompidou collection by putting together the "Paris Noir" exhibition and pushing for the acquisition of at least 50 of the pieces on display. She explains why the inclusion of these artworks will open a new chapter in the museum's history once it opens again in 2030, after the 50-year-old building undergoes extensive renovations.

Some of you may not know this about me, but I'm a musician and an artist.I always loved art as a kid—from finger painting in my blue smock at my Little Tikes easel to coloring and tracing to the pastel class I took one summer. For a while, my answer to the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” was “An artist or illustrator.”Music was always there, too—singing and playing the piano, learning letter names as I learned the alphabet, and later, accompanying, teaching, performing, and arranging.At some point, I set art aside to focus on music. I still did craft projects from time to time, but I didn't consider myself an artist.Then, during the pandemic, I found myself drawn to it again. In between online lessons, baking Jim Lahey's No-Knead Bread, and reading through Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, I watched online painting tutorials. I practiced mixing colors in an art app on my iPad. I ordered supplies and started painting tiny acrylic landscapes.Now, five years later, I have a dedicated art table in my home office. I have a somewhat regular artistic practice alongside my music work. I've found that painting is a different facet of my creativity, a new form of artistic expression. And I have to say, it makes me come alive—to embrace my creativity as a whole, to invest in multiple aspects of my creative self at once.And I'm not the only one. From Felix Mendelssohn to Arnold Schoenberg, Joni Mitchell to Miles Davis, many musicians have found painting to be another form of artistic expression that complements and informs their musical side.In this episode, I'm exploring what art is teaching me about music. Whether you consider yourself an artist or not, I hope this inspires you to think about all the different facets of your creative self—and how to embrace them in your work.For show notes + a full transcript, click here.Resources Mentioned*Disclosure: I get commissions for purchases made through some of these links.Songs Without Words (Mendelssohn)On the Spiritual in Art (1910) (Kandinsky)Pictures At an Exhibition (Mussorgsky)Clair de Lune (Debussy)“October,” Lyric Preludes (Gillock)Piano Mastery (1915) (Brower)“Waltz for Miles,” Portraits in Jazz (Capers)“Rainbow Colors,” Piano Safari Repertoire 2 (Hague)Prelude in C, Op. 11, No. 1 (Scriabin)My artistic processDaily Rituals: How Artists Work (Mason Currey)Join the Musician & Co.

#SessionLive avec deux poètes de la chanson française : Mathieu Boogaerts pour Grand piano et Albin de la Simone pour Toi là-bas.  Notre premier invité est Mathieu Boogaerts pour la sortie de Grand Piano.Note d'intention par Mathieu Boogaerts :Mathieu Boogaerts, « Grand piano » ? C'est le titre de mon neuvième album, et c'est un oxymore : « Figure de style qui vise à rapprocher deux termes que leurs sens devraient éloigner ».« Grand » car je l'ai voulu ainsi : franc, épais, puissant, plus de matière, de volume que ses prédécesseurs...

Il est 11h du matin, partie à 4h30 chez moi, j'arrive à la Villa Médicis qui me fait le beau cadeau de m'inviter en courte résidence pour finir le livre que vous tenez entre les mains. Donc, à l'heure où j'écris ces lignes, ce n'est encore qu'un tas de dessins et de textes plus ou moins ordonnés. J'ai du pain sur la planche. Car un premier livre de ce type, comme un premier disque, est un peu constitué d'une vie entière, et quand on a 50 ans passés, il y a du tri à faire. À partir du deuxième, si on a bien fait son boulot dans le premier, on part d'une page blanche ou, au pire, d'une page beige. Nous verrons.L'album Toi là-basParis, le 1er décembre 2024. Après quelques saisons très denses, j'ai ressenti à l'automne dernier le besoin imparable de me retrouver seul. Du moins face à moi-même. Je suis parti m'enfermer à la Villa Médicis où j'ai terminé d'écrire et de dessiner mon premier livre (Mes battements, paru en mars 2025 chez Actes Sud), un voyage intérieur qui depuis des mois me baladait loin dans le passé, mon village, mon enfance, mon adolescence. Je me suis amusé à reprendre quelques chansons de mes débuts comme Je te manque, Avril 4000 ou Non merci (2005), et j'ai remarqué que je leur donnais quelque chose que je ne voyais pas à l'époque. Je les habitais d'une nouvelle façon. J'ai tiré le fil, et d'autres chansons comme J'aime lire (2008) et enfin Pourquoi on pleure (2017) sont sorties naturellement de la pelote. Alors j'ai eu envie de les enregistrer à nouveau, comme de les photographier dans leur nouveau costume. Je me suis laissé aller sans faire de plans, sans pression, juste pour le jeu de la réinterprétation, pour le plaisir. Beaucoup de plaisir, musical autant que vocal. Les chansons en sont sorties plus sereines et plus sensuelles aussi, je crois. Boîtes à rythmes et basses profondes, synthétiseurs en halos suaves autour de mes instruments acoustiques chéris, comme mon piano Una Corda, et aussi cette incroyable Fender VI chère à The Cure ou Richard Hawley, une guitare électrique des années 60 accordée une octave plus grave, dont le son me retourne (écoutez le solo dans La valse des lilas). J'ai invité Alice on the Roof – avec qui je travaille pour son prochain album et que j'adore – à partager Pourquoi on pleure. Alice a accepté. La chanson en duo a pris un sens nouveau.Je pensais faire un petit EP à sortir à l'occasion de la parution du livre, mais comme je fouillais dans le rétroviseur depuis des mois, j'ai croisé quelques autres chansons importantes dans ma vie. La très souchonesque C'est bien moi que j'ai chantée l'an passé en hommage à Françoise Hardy avec Sage. La sublime Valse des lilas de Michel Legrand dont j'ai tant aimé la version américaine Once Upon a Summertime par Blossom Dearie ou Miles Davis. Et le temps s'arrêtait, d'Adamo, que nous avions arrangée avec Julien Chirol et Renaud Létang en 2003 pour le grand Salvatore lui-même. Et surtout, Ma gueule, lourdeur de Johnny qui me renvoyait au pire de la préadolescence brutale et masculiniste, jusqu'à ce que je découvre en la chantant qu'elle pouvait m'aller comme un gant et m'émouvoir même. Puisque mon livre et mon disque sortent en même temps, puisque leurs visuels et leurs thématiques sont cousins, j'ai quand même eu envie d'écrire une chanson nouvelle pour faire le pont entre les deux. En laissant errer mon regard dans les arbres de la Villa Médicis, j'ai revu Laurence, Natalia, Maud, Sidonie, Ouria… premières amoureuses qui ne m'ont pas connu. Que j'ai aimées, follement, mais de loin. Que j'ai regardées, sans relâche, dont j'ai étudié les gestes, les habitudes, les vêtements, ne détournant le regard que si je sentais le leur se tourner vers moi. J'avais trop peur. Peur de quoi. J'ai aussi entendu dans les arbres les échos de Charlotte Sometimes des Cure, sur laquelle je pleurais ces amours à distance. Trois jours plus tard, j'ai terminé la première maquette de Toi là-bas. Ça n'est donc pas un EP, mais bien un album. Mon huitième.Post-scriptum : Je ne résiste pas à repartir sur la route pour promener mes chansons et mon livre. Cette fois, je serai seul sur scène. Je chanterai et jouerai, je parlerai un peu, mais aussi je dessinerai. À moins d'un miracle anatomique, il est peu probable que je parvienne à faire tout cela en même temps.Titres interprétés dans le grand studioPourquoi on pleure Live RFI Toi là-bas, extrait de l'albumQuoi ma gueule Live RFI Line Up : Albin de la Simone, piano, voixSon : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor, Camille Roch► Album Toi là-bas (Tôt ou Tard)Site internet - YouTube - FacebookRéalisation : Hadrien Touraud

La chanson en duo a pris un sens nouveau.Je pensais faire un petit EP à sortir à l'occasion de la parution du livre, mais comme je fouillais dans le rétroviseur depuis des mois, j'ai croisé quelques autres chansons importantes dans ma vie. La très souchonesque C'est bien moi que j'ai chantée l'an passé en hommage à Françoise Hardy avec Sage. La sublime Valse des lilas de Michel Legrand dont j'ai tant aimé la version américaine Once Upon a Summertime par Blossom Dearie ou Miles Davis. Et le temps s'arrêtait, d'Adamo, que nous avions arrangée avec Julien Chirol et Renaud Létang en 2003 pour le grand Salvatore lui-même. Et surtout, Ma gueule, lourdeur de Johnny qui me renvoyait au pire de la préadolescence brutale et masculiniste, jusqu'à ce que je découvre en la chantant qu'elle pouvait m'aller comme un gant et m'émouvoir même. Puisque mon livre et mon disque sortent en même temps, puisque leurs visuels et leurs thématiques sont cousins, j'ai quand même eu envie d'écrire une chanson nouvelle pour faire le pont entre les deux. En laissant errer mon regard dans les arbres de la Villa Médicis, j'ai revu Laurence, Natalia, Maud, Sidonie, Ouria… premières amoureuses qui ne m'ont pas connu. Que j'ai aimées, follement, mais de loin. Que j'ai regardées, sans relâche, dont j'ai étudié les gestes, les habitudes, les vêtements, ne détournant le regard que si je sentais le leur se tourner vers moi. J'avais trop peur. Peur de quoi. J'ai aussi entendu dans les arbres les échos de Charlotte Sometimes des Cure, sur laquelle je pleurais ces amours à distance. Trois jours plus tard, j'ai terminé la première maquette de Toi là-bas. Ça n'est donc pas un EP, mais bien un album. Mon huitième.Post-scriptum : Je ne résiste pas à repartir sur la route pour promener mes chansons et mon livre. Cette fois, je serai seul sur scène. Je chanterai et jouerai, je parlerai un peu, mais aussi je dessinerai. À moins d'un miracle anatomique, il est peu probable que je parvienne à faire tout cela en même temps.Titres interprétés dans le grand studioPourquoi on pleure Live RFI Toi là-bas, extrait de l'albumQuoi ma gueule Live RFI Line Up : Albin de la Simone, piano, voixSon : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor, Camille Roch► Album Toi là-bas (Tôt ou Tard)Site internet - YouTube - FacebookRéalisation : Hadrien Touraud

Musician and artist Goya Gumbani joins Chrystal Genesis in New York's East Village ahead of his live show to talk sound, style, Miles Davis, and his new album, Warlord of the Weejuns. In this episode, the Brooklyn-born, South London-based artist reflects on the cultural influences behind his dreamy, laid-back record, where the storytelling of New York hip-hop meets London's jazz edge. Recorded just after soundcheck, their conversation glides through fashion, food trucks, friendship, and family, with Warlord of the Weejuns, out via Ghostly International, threaded throughout. The album features contributions from Fatima, Yaya Bey, Joe Armon-Jones, and more, and is a meditation on self-expression, Black cultural lineage, and the quiet power of doing things your way.

AP correspondent Mike Hempen reports the National Recording Registry has announced its 2025 class of inductees.

Music includes: After Yor Gone by the Benny Goodman Quartet, If You Were Mine by Billie Holiday, Harlem Airshaft by Duke Ellington, Manteca by Dizzy Gillespie, Boplicity by Miles Davis and I Love paris by Cecil Taylor. 

For this episode we're joined by veteran music scribe Phil Sutcliffe to discuss his years on Sounds, Q and MOJO. We start by hearing about our guest's Beatles-obsessed adolescence in the North London suburb of Barnet, then follow him up to Manchester University and his subsequent apprenticeship on the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. Phil explains how he got his foot in the door at Sounds in 1974, initially reviewing gigs on Tyneside before moving back to London to become one of the weekly magazine's key '70s writers. We discuss the paper's transition from Gentle Giant and Back Street Crawler to the Damned and the Sex Pistols — and to the interviews Phil did with County Durham punks Penetration and beloved Salford bard John Cooper Clarke.  From JCC's visit to the Oxford Poetry Festival in 1980, we turn our attention to the week's featured act — politicised post-punks Gang of Four — and thence to the more controversially reactionary Eric Clapton. Clips from John Hutchinson's 1981 audio interview with the guitar "God" prompt conversation about his musical evolution and the infamous 1976 outburst that inspired the launch of Rock Against Racism. After Mark quotes from newly-added library pieces about Joe Harriott (1964), Miles Davis (1969) and Al Green (1973), Jasper takes us out with his thoughts on articles about Courtney Love (1991), Snoop Dogg (2003) and Cardi B (2019). Please note that this episode was recorded before we learned of the very sad passings of former Gang Of Four bassist Dave Allen and Malian superstar Amadou Bagayoko — along with Phil Sutcliffe's fellow Sounds contributor Sandy Robertson. Many thanks to special guest Phil Sutcliffe. Pieces discussed: The Beatles: I Was A Beatlemaniac, Penetration: Anarchy In County Durham, The Bard Of Beasley Street At The Seat Of Learning, Gang of Four: Dialectics Meet Disco, Gang Of Four: The Revolution Lightens Up, Andy Gill meets Andy Gill, Eric Clapton audio, Eric Clapton: Out of the Darkness, Joe Harriott: Jazz Abstractionist, Miles Davis: In a Silent Way, Hole: Calling the Tune, Snoop Dogg and Welcome to the Cardi Party.

Topics covered: Palestine, war fever in Europe while the US turns away, Norway's surrender of neutrality, tariffs, the Inquisition (13th to 19th century) and anti-communism (19th-21st century), feudal Japan's anti-Christian inquisition (15th-19th century), Ernst Bloch on Marx and surplus value. Music track “Blue in Green” by Miles Davis (public domain).

The iconic jazz trumpet player Freddie Hubbard was born in Indianapolis on April 7th of 1938. During his extraordinary career, Hubbard made enormous contributions to hard bop and fusion music, performing on landmark albums by John Coltrane, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Sonny Rollins, Wayne Shorter and many others. Hubbard also issued many classic recordings as a bandleader. Nine of those albums appeared on the Billboard charts and his 1972 LP First Light earned a Grammy award for "Best Jazz Performance by a Group". Hubbard's technical mastery of the trumpet earned widespread critical acclaim and drew comparisons to legendary musicians like Miles Davis. Freddie  Hubbard passed away in 2008 at the age of 70, but his impact on music endures. His influence extends beyond jazz, shaping hip-hop as well. His recordings have been sampled by some of rap's most respected artists, including A Tribe Called Quest, Raekwon, Common, J Dilla, and MF DOOM. In this episode, we'll celebrate Hubbard's birthday by exploring the use of his music in hip-hop.

Ain't no interview like a GRACE SLICK interview! That's right — the outspoken Rock-and-Roll-Hall-of-Fame singer of Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, and Starship, and the voice of the psychedelic rock generation and beyond is on the show. Whether she's talking about the playing of great guitar players she has known (everyone from her legendary Airplane/Starship bandmates to other heroes, including Jimi Hendrix and Jerry Garcia) or tackling any other subject under the sun — sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll; '60s counterculture; DeLoreans; Miles Davis; '80s pop culture; hilarious drummer antics (yes, your ears are burning, Donny Baldwin) — Grace is gloriously unfiltered and a true musical treasure. As guitarist of Jefferson Starship since 2012, I was thrilled to finally dive deep into these topics and more with Grace, who — along with her and Paul Kantner's daughter, China Kantner Isler — I've been lucky enough to call a friend for a decade now. Please help me thank GUITAR PLAYER and guitarplayer.com for making this episode happen. GUITAR PLAYER: Play better, sound better. — Jude Gold | Host/creator, NO GUITAR IS SAFE podcast.

Could Miles Davis' peak performance come alongside a bunch of kids who weren't even getting paid? In this episode, Peter and Adam dive into one of the greatest live albums ever captured, My Funny Valentine: Live at the Philharmonic (1964). We explore how Miles Davis, sideman George Coleman, and a young rhythm section (Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and teenage Tony Williams) made jazz history in real time with their one-of-a-kind (unpaid) voter registration benefit concert. Learn how the quintet remade Miles' go-to standards (“All of You”, “Stella”, “All Blues”...) with their conversational, free-flowing, spacious playing – and hear the evolution across Davis' career. Join us as we break down these incredible performances and prove why this underappreciated live album captures Miles' greatest playing ever (at least for Peter's ears).ABOUT OPEN STUDIO------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As the premier online jazz education platform, with an ever-expanding course library and 20,000+ members, Open Studio (OS) has everything you need to excel and thrive on your jazz journey.Featuring everything from beginner to advanced lessons, engaging courses from A-list instructors, step-by-step curriculum, real-time classes and a thriving and incredibly supportive community, OS is the perfect platform to level up your jazz playing, whether you're a total beginner, or an advanced pro-level improvisor.Try OS Membership today! → https://osjazz.link/aboutAll about YHIhttps://lnk.to/youllhearitYB

We are thrilled to speak with Soya and Steve Freeman, aka Extrakd, who has created loads of diverse music over the years with the likes of Brain, Disk, Mirv, Ler, and Buckethead. We tread some of the history and releases from the 90s and 00s, but hone in on Mars Mechanics, which has a new album titled In Through The Drive Through. The record is primarily arranged and performed by Steve, Brain, and Mirv with guest turns from Skerik and Ler. Each Mars Mechanics release has its own musical theme; the latest has a 1970s Miles Davis foundation, and the outcome is a high-energy dose of unmistakable majesty. Plus, Steve tells us about some projects that have yet to be made public, and may hold the key to understanding the tornado of urine (details in episode). Tracks sampled in episode, in chronological order:Its Brain (Mars Mechanics)Technology Doctor (MIRV)Darkside Whiplash (El Stew)Surf Mission (El Stew)B-boy Showcase (El Stew)The John Rocker Redemption Clause (No Forcefield)Claudius The God (No Forcefield)9a (Mars Mechanics)Gonzography (Mars Mechanics)Don't Bite Contradiction Bomb (Gonervill)Find Mars Mechanics on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mars_mechanics/Mars Mechanics MusicYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXl_huq832S_MOC4OoCzgPwSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/3sZiGJ55DnYXBpoBwYTqKEApple: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/mars-mechanics/1468632210Mars Mechanics Merch: https://mdpe.shop/collections/marsmechanicsEl Stew - No Hesitation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y415bfxzoNcNo Forcefield - Lee's Oriental Massage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZqCqfViCugNo Forcefield - God is an Excuse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7-bbaQUS04Marsupial's Belly Flop Breaks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4NQyZoYmj0PhonosycographDISK Live at Slim's - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAKc2PAOkxk&t=7sLom.

Can you believe the most celebrated Bill Evans Trio was only together for 18 months? In this episode, we're looking at early 60's Bill alongside Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and the four albums they recorded together before LaFaro's tragic death at just 25 years old. From Portrait in Jazz and its cross-over with Miles Davis' Kind of Blue through Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debbie – recorded live on the same day in June 1961. We break down their conversational approach to jazz standards like “Autumn Leaves,” geek out over Bill Evans music theory, and explore his distinct voicings and voice leading techniques. Whether you're a mid-century jazz aficionado or just looking for the perfect “sweater weather trio songs to somberly study to,” we've got just the playlist for you.ABOUT OPEN STUDIO------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As the premier online jazz education platform, with an ever-expanding course library and 20,000+ members, Open Studio (OS) has everything you need to excel and thrive on your jazz journey.Featuring everything from beginner to advanced lessons, engaging courses from A-list instructors, step-by-step curriculum, real-time classes and a thriving and incredibly supportive community, OS is the perfect platform to level up your jazz playing, whether you're a total beginner, or an advanced pro-level improvisor.Try OS Membership today! → https://osjazz.link/aboutAll about YHIhttps://lnk.to/youllhearitYB

When it came to music, Miles Davis wasn't about no safe, tired yesterday bullsh*t. After kicking his heroin addiction, he traded bespoke suits for fringe jackets and spearheaded an experimental blur of jazz and rock, eclipsing his contemporaries with a complete reinvention of himself. But the second act of Miles' life came fraught with failures and new fixes, including a wrecked Lambo, two broken legs, and a mountain of coke and pills so massive that Miles almost never made it down the other side.
