On this episode of the Supercast, meet the caring community volunteers who are part of the Jordan Education Foundation, making it possible to recognize and reward teachers who rise to the top. Teachers in every one of our schools, who are often brought to tears when total strangers show up to thank them for their tireless work in the classroom. Audio Transcription [MUSIC] Jenna Miller: Being a part of this Bus Day, going around to different schools and celebrating outstanding educators means a lot. You actually get to learn about what these outstanding educators are doing in their classroom, the impact they're having. Laura Klarman: We saw the mayors involved, they would come to their local schools. I love seeing again that community support is so important. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: Hello and welcome to the Supercast. I'm your host, Superintendent Anthony Godfrey. They are the quiet but fiercely passionate force behind celebrating 68 Outstanding Educators in Jordan School District every year. On this episode of the Supercast, meet the caring community volunteers who are part of the Jordan Education Foundation, the group that makes it possible to recognize and reward teachers who rise to the top. They reward teachers in every one of our schools, teachers who are often brought to tears when total strangers show up to thank them for their tireless work in the classroom. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: We are on the bus today celebrating Outstanding Educators with the Jordan Education Foundation. We're talking now with Jordan Education Foundation President Jenna Miller. Jenna, thanks for taking a few minutes with us. Jenna Miller: So glad to be here, so glad to be on the bus today. Anthony Godfrey: So for those who do not know what Bus Day is or even Outstanding Educator Awards, would you please describe what this program and what this day is all about? Jenna Miller: Yes, I would love to. So the Jordan Education Foundation, each year we have the opportunity to recognize outstanding educators in every school in our District. There's one day in particular where we join together and ride on the yellow school bus as a [Jordan Education] Foundation Board with a great driver. We have the chance to visit the top 12 or 14 teachers that were nominated for Outstanding Educator for the entire District. Anthony Godfrey: There's an award for an educator at every one of our 68 schools and for 14 of them, they receive $1,000 and an invitation to the banquet. It's just for every educator, this just means the world. All of them get a sign for their yard and a sign for the school so that everyone knows what an amazing educator they are, along with a lot of other really cool prizes. So the Foundation does an incredible job of putting together a really fun package for every teacher. You've done this for a long time. Talk to me about the impact of giving these awards. Jenna Miller: Well, it's always a pleasure to be able to go out and visit all 68 schools every year to see the things that they are doing, to recognize Outstanding Educators. As a Foundation, we have the chance to read nominations that principals and staff and students and parents and peers put together. So, we actually get to learn about what these Outstanding Educators are doing in their classroom, the impact they're having with their school and with students in terms of their testing and the impact that they're having each and every year through their nominations. Anthony Godfrey: We get to see the families come, families are invited to supporting their teachers, talk about that. Jenna Miller: Yes, this is the best. So all of these visits are kept as a surprise. But the principal reaches out to family members to let them know that this special award will be given and they coordinate with family to make it a large surprise. People fly in from out of state. There's family members, friends, sisters, cousins, as well as their peers in the school. It makes the party even better to have the people that you love there to celebrate you. Anthony Godfrey: It's really an amazing experience to be able to see a teacher honored in this way. And there's no way it can happen without the Foundation. So we really can't thank you enough for your leadership and for all the work that the Foundation Board members do and our sponsors do to make these awards possible. Jenna Miller: Yes, we are so grateful for our sponsors, for the community support that we receive from businesses and individuals that want to support Outstanding Educators in our District. And it does impact our schools and our District overall, and we're grateful for this opportunity. Anthony Godfrey: : It's a huge morale boost, not just for those getting the award, but it feels good to be in a District that has this community support and the Foundation really provides that in a way that I don't think anyone else in this state benefits from. So we're really thrilled to have you and to have the Foundation be so involved in who we are as a District. Jenna Miller: Well, thank you. Yes, we have four staff and 32 volunteer community members that give up their time, their talents, their treasure to all support educators and students in our District. Anthony Godfrey: Any moments or stories from this year in particular that stand out for you? Jenna Miller: Well, one of the things that we love, especially on Bus Day, is to get to recognize our Principal of the Year. And that's something we got to do today at Aspen Elementary School. Principal Susie Williams, who has had amazing impact on this school, but also the community that her school resides in. Susie does a great job and it was such a privilege and honor to recognize her as the Principal of the Year. Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for everything you're doing. Jenna Miller: Thank you. [APPLAUSE] Male Voice: We are here to recognize Ms. Heckman as Copper Hills Outstanding Educator of the Year. [APPLAUSE] Female Voice: It was really powerful enough to just go and do that for a lot of people, appreciate all the hard work you do. Sorry. Male Voice: So we are really fortunate to work with a great group of people. Look at all the people that are here to support you today. But we get nice donations from the community to help support our educators. They want us to let you know that you're loved and appreciated. Anthony Godfrey: We're talking now with Ryan Gregerson, the newest member of the Jordan Education Foundation Board. Introduce yourself and tell us what it's been like to jump in right before teacher awards like this. Ryan Gregerson: It was like the best timing ever. So I'm an attorney in town, have a law firm in South Jordan. I grew up in Jordan School District going to all the schools in Jordan School District and also the son of an educator. My dad was an elementary school teacher for 40 plus years. My mom was a lunch lady. My sister's a teacher. So education's super important to me, and it was just such an honor to be on the Board. And the best time ever to start being on the Board and get to see all these amazing educators getting these awards. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah, it's so fun and it means a lot to have members of the community come back and you have a ton of education connections. We have a connection as well. You were my student in middle school many years ago. Ryan Gregerson: Yes, indeed. Anthony Godfrey: And a very memorable one in all the right ways. Ryan Gregerson: Yeah, it was great. Honestly, we talk and I tell everybody this even when Dr. Godfrey's not here, but in eighth grade and ninth grade, he was the favorite teacher. Everybody loved being in his class. He was the cool teacher, had a band that he played in. Had him for English in eighth grade, French in ninth grade. Great memories of last year of being a middle school up in Copperton.Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Ryan Gregerson: That had ever existed and then we got to open up West Hills Middle School, which was also super fun. Anthony Godfrey: We shut it down together. Ryan Gregerson: We did, we did. Anthony Godfrey: Talk to me about how you have felt as you have seen and been a part of honoring these teachers at various schools. Ryan Gregerson: What's been really special for me is it's in part, I always kind of see it like it's also my dad. Because he sacrificed a lot to be a teacher and to raise our family and to do all the things that he did for his students. So seeing these same sacrifices be recognized by amazing teachers, inspiring kids, is just so personally special to me to see that recognition happening and to be inspired by them. Anthony Godfrey: Well, it means a lot to have you on the Foundation Board. We love that you're part of it. What would you say to those who are thinking about being involved either through a donation or by serving on the Board? Ryan Gregerson: I mean, there's so many things that are great about what the Foundation does. With the South Valley Chamber last year, we had the opportunity to do a fundraiser to be able to provide more for the pantry packs. It was something I didn't even know existed that through the school district and the Foundation, that students who don't have sometimes a meal over the weekend or over a holiday, that there's something that actually can be done to help give these meals to them. That there are actually students in this District who don't have meals and that there's a way to be able to provide those. So, donations to the Foundation, donations through the pantry pack or different coats and clothing just makes a difference for these wonderful students who need it. Because we do have needs even though maybe people don't remember that or don't realize it, there are. When we can help them meet those needs for these students, then they can focus on their education. They can focus on learning the things that they need to so that they can grow up and have things to be successful in life. Anthony Godfrey: I'm glad you mentioned that the celebrations and honoring teachers is a really important part of what the Foundation does. There are many other things the Foundation does as well, including making sure kids are fed so they can learn, and that they're fed overnight, that they're fed over the weekend, just taking great care of kids in every aspect of their lives. So, thank you for everything you do to help that. Ryan Gregerson: That's my pleasure. Anthony Godfrey: As you've been honoring teachers, there's a quote you've shared. Will you share that with everyone now? Ryan Gregerson: Yeah, absolutely. It's from Fred Rogers, otherwise known as Mr. Rogers. He said that, “Anyone who does something to help a child is a hero to me,” and that's really what I see these teachers are, is they really are true heroes to these children, to our community. Anthony Godfrey: Well, your dad is a hero to a lot of people, and I can't thank you enough for being part of this. I was so happy to see you sign up for the Foundation Board. We have a lot of good times ahead of us. Ryan Gregerson: No doubt about it, I appreciate you guys so much. Ryan Gregerson: All right, so Mr. Rogers said that, “Anybody that helps a child in this life is a hero to me.” And you are a true hero to these kids, and we appreciate you. A few things here, this is your official invitation to the banquet at the aquarium. There's that for you. This is the nomination. You need to read all the wonderful things that were written about you so you can share them. So that's for you as well. And then last and of course not least, all of our finalists received a $1,000 award. [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: Stay with us when we come back. More from members of the Jordan Education Foundation. [MUSIC] Male Voice: Never miss an episode of the Supercast by liking and subscribing on your favorite podcasting platform.

As Jordan School District students navigate their way to and from school every day, we are truly grateful for our city crossing guards, always vigilant and looking out for students to ensure everyone's safety. Because they work so hard protecting our kids, let's give those crossing guards a hand. If you're driving near or around schools, slow down, pay attention, watch for students and staff, and follow instructions from the school crossing guards, and know our cities are always looking to hire crossing guards. If you like kids and need some flexible hours, contact your local city and apply to be a crossing guard today. Together, let's make this a safe and successful school Year. [MUSIC] [Cheering] Male Voice:    . . . as Herriman Elementary Outstanding Educator of the Year! [Cheering] Anthony Godfrey: We are in the gym of Aspen Elementary. We've just awarded Principal of the Year and Outstanding Educator for Aspen Elementary. We're talking with Laura Klarman, who is one of the Board members for Jordan Education Foundation. Introduce yourself, talk about your role and how it feels to be a part of these celebrations. Laura Klarman: You bet. So I am a marketing and communication manager at Riverton Hospital. I've been there 13 years. Anthony Godfrey: Wow. Laura Klarman: So lucky 13. One thing I love about healthcare and education is it touches every family in our area. I live in our community, I work in our community, and I serve in our community. So being a part of this Bus Day, going around to different schools and celebrating outstanding educators, means a lot to me. My mom was a school librarian, my sister teaches at high school, and we all remember those outstanding teachers in our lives that make a difference. Anthony Godfrey: It makes a huge impact when someone like you comes in. I mean, I'm paid to support teachers, but you choose to come here. You choose to be a part of this, donate your time. Riverton Hospital has been extremely generous through you. You've hosted our meetings, we've done tours. You've done so many things to help support us, and it means the world when it's someone from outside of our organization that is really emphasizing the impact on the community these teachers have. Laura Klarman: Yeah, in fact, we love our community. We want to help people live the healthiest lives possible, and part of that is a good education. We want to start people out strong. We love kids. We have Primary Children's services at our hospital. So we treat families. We see families, and we know that they're healthier and happier when they have a good school experience. And we love the teachers because they are a part of that experience. Anthony Godfrey: You even provided speakers for the podcast to help elevate the health of our community and our students, including a doctor that specializes in vaping and its negative impacts and helping prevent students from engaging in that. So, you've supported us in so many different ways, and it just shows the value of having the community as a partner, as we educate these students. And really, we have the same goals but different roles. But we're all working toward building this community and making it a great place to be and you and Riverton Hospital are a really important part of that. Tell me some of the stories you've heard as you've had the opportunity to go from school to school, and you see the families, and you hear from colleagues, and from the teachers. What are some of the stories that have really touched you? Laura Klarman: One of the teachers stuck out in my mind, she was retiring this year. So she has been a teacher for years. This was her last year. I was really touched by that because she was being recognized as she was leaving. So retirements are bittersweet. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Laura Klarman: It's a good ending to a good beginning. And so we see that all the time in healthcare and in education. We saw the mayors involved, they would come to their local schools. I love seeing, again, that community support is so important. And then all our Board members who are leaders in their own right. Anthony Godfrey: Yeah. Laura Klarman: They own businesses, they serve their community, they're elected officials. Or they've been teachers themselves, so they know how important this is. So it's been great community building to see everybody come together. Anthony Godfrey: And seeing the kids and their enthusiasm when their teacher's being honored. It's really fun to see how excited they are for their teacher. Laura Klarman: It was electric. When we went to Bluffdale Elementary, my kids went there. So it was really fun to go back. And it was electric as we walked in, and you feel like a superstar. And really the superstars are these teachers, right? And the principals and the kids, and so it was really touching. Anthony Godfrey: Well, thank you for making it possible. There's just no way we could do it without you, so. Laura Klarman: Thanks, I love being here. I love it. [MUSIC] Anthony Godfrey: Thanks for joining us on another episode of the Supercast. Remember, “Education is the most important thing you will do today!” We'll see you out there. [MUSIC]

I'm your host Stacey Simms and this is an In The News episode.. where we bringing you the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. A reminder that you can find the sources and links and a transcript and more info for every story mentioned here in the show notes. Who's in Vegas? I'll see you there at the Breakthrough T1D summit this weekend. And we have two Club 1921 events for health care providers and patient leaders happening in April – head on over to the website for more. Okay.. our top story this week: XX Metformin may be linked to the slower progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Among people with diabetes who were older than 55, those taking metformin had a 37% lower chance of developing intermediate AMD over a five-year period compared with individuals who were not using the medication. It's one of the leading causes of vision loss in the US and many other western countries. These researchers now say a clinical trial is the next step. https://scitechdaily.com/scientists-discover-surprising-eye-benefit-of-widely-used-diabetes-drug/ XX new study suggests people with type 1 diabetes may be nearly three times as likely to develop dementia compared with people without diabetes. Similarly, people with type 2 diabetes may have roughly twice the risk of dementia compared with those without diabetes. However, the study found an association rather than proof of causation, meaning diabetes was linked to dementia risk but was not shown to directly cause it.   https://www.usnews.com/news/health-news/articles/2026-03-19/both-types-of-diabetes-increase-dementia-risk XX Researchers in Japan say they've developed an insulin pill… in mice.  The study, published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, tested the delivery of oral insulin by building a carrier peptide called DNP-V. This peptide helps to transport insulin through the small intestine, where protein drug absorption is usually poor. The result was a rapid and significant drop in blood glucose, as well as a sustained (longer-term) decrease. The mice's blood sugar was reduced to near-normal levels. Although the researchers are optimistic about the findings translating to larger therapeutic models, they noted that the results in mice do not guarantee the same outcome in humans, and that more research is needed. https://www.foxnews.com/health/needle-free-diabetes-management-could-horizon-study-suggests   XX   Lilly says it's next-generation obesity drug retatutride cleared its first late-stage trial on Type 2 diabetes patients. The drug lowered hemoglobin A1C by an average of 1.7% to 2% across different doses at 40 weeks compared with placebo, and helped patients lose an average of 16.8% of their weight. Retatrutide also met the study's second goal, helping patients at the highest dose lose an average of 16.8% of their weight, or 36.6 pounds, at 40 weeks, when evaluating only patients who stayed on the drug. When analyzing all participants, including those who discontinued treatment, the highest dose of the drug helped patients lose 15.3% of their weight. The company was also "very pleased" with the relatively low discontinuation rates due to side effects, which were up to 5%, he added. But Lilly has yet to file for approval of the drug for obesity or diabetes. The company expects to report findings from seven additional phase three trials on the drug by the end of the year. Still, retatrutide's A1C reduction doesn't appear to be the greatest Lilly has seen within its portfolio: The highest dose of Zepbound lowered the measure by more than 2% at 40 weeks in two separate trials on diabetes patients. Dubbed the "triple G" drug, retatrutide works by mimicking three hunger-regulating hormones – GLP-1, GIP and glucagon – rather than just one or two like existing treatments. That appears to have more potent effects on a person's appetite and satisfaction with food than other treatments.   https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/19/eli-lillys-obesity-drug-retatrutide-clears-late-stage-diabetes-trial.html XX   The MiniMed Flex gets FDA approval. Thi is a new design from the company formerly known as Medtronic. It's about half the size* of the MiniMed™ 780G pump, no screen – smartphone controlled – and has the SmartGuard™ algorithm with Meal Detection™ technolog. At commercial launch, MiniMed Flex™ will support the company's newest sensor portfolio, including Simplera Sync™ sensor and the Instinct sensor, made by Abbott. MiniMed also announced the MiniMed™ Forward Program, which allows customers who start on the MiniMed™ 780G system to upgrade to the MiniMed Flex™ system for $0. MiniMed Flex™ is cleared for individuals ages 7 and older with type 1 diabetes, and for individuals 18 years and older with insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/minimed-announces-fda-clearance-of-minimed-flex-the-companys-smallest-insulin-pump-featuring-its-first-smartphone-controlled-design-302716864.html   XX Lots of new out of the recent ATTD conference.. some headlines: New study from the UK shows that Ketone Monitoring Could Significantly Reduce DKA Risks in people with type 1 and type 2. This was a study by Abbott which recently submitted a continuous dual glucose-ketone monitor to the FDA for clearance – if approved, it could be available in the U.S. later this year. -- The first modified insulin producing cells are still working 14 months after transplant – without the need for immunosuppressive drugs. This is from Sana which now plans a study of a new therapy.. same gene-editing strategy with lab-grown, stem-cell-derived insulin-producing cells. -- Protein looks like it helps avoid lows during exercise. Both high and low doses of whey protein before exercise were effective, significantly reducing the risk of hypoglycemia by five to 10 times.   Researchers noted that the body's response to protein was rapid (within 20 minutes), which suggests taking it close to the beginning of exercise could be beneficial for preventing hypoglycemia. Though more research is needed, there was also evidence showing protein intake could be beneficial for prolonged fasting and preventing overnight lows. -- More info about type 1 and GLP medications. Researchers at ATTD presented the results of a small, seven-month study assessing the effectiveness of semaglutide for people with type 1 diabetes and obesity. During the trial, 36% of participants taking semaglutide spent more than 70% of their time in range, less than 4% of their time below range, and lost more than 5% of their body weight compared to those not taking semaglutide.   Treatment with semaglutide was also associated with reductions in cholesterol and blood pressure. Based on all of these changes, the researchers calculated that the participants who received semaglutide had significantly reduced their risk of heart disease over the next 10 years.   Other studies show that since 2020, prescriptions of GLP-1 medications have grown exponentially for adults with type 1 diabetes between the ages of 18 and 85. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-research/top-diabetes-news-attd-2026   XX Lots of talk about fully closed loops.. CamDiab unveiled theirs.. called Liberty.. which the company says it's the world's first fully closed loop commercial launch. CamDiab offers the FDA-approved mylife CamAPS FX app for automating insulin delivery in MyLife's (formerly Ypsomed Diabetes Care's) insulin delivery pumps. The mylife CamAPS FX on iOS has full compatibility with leading continuous glucose monitors (CGMs). Those include the FreeStyle Libre 3 and Libre 3 Plus from Abbott and the Dexcom G6 so customers can use their preferred device. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/camdiab-unveils-fully-closed-loop-insulin-feature/ XX Insulet reported data on a fully closed-loop automated insulin delivery system in people with Type 2 diabetes. The 24 people in the trial spent 24% more time in the target blood glucose range using the system than when receiving standard injection therapy. Insulet plans to start a pivotal study this year and aims to launch in 2028. Rival insulin pump manufacturer Tandem is on a similar course. Tandem CEO John Sheridan told investors on an earnings call last month that his team plans to start a pivotal trial this year to support a filing with the Food and Drug Administration in 2027. Medtronic disclosed the start of a pivotal trial of its Vivera fully closed-loop algorithm last month, shortly before spinning off the program as part of the MiniMed initial public offering. The algorithm, which is designed to eliminate carb counting and manual food bolusing, achieved a mean time in range of 73.8% without manual user input in a feasibility study.   https://www.medtechdive.com/news/insulet-posts-clinical-data-on-fully-closed-loop-insulin-delivery-system/814516/ XX Congrats to all honored by the 2026 National Scientific and Health Care Achievement Awards from the American Diabetes Association! Shout out to Diana Isaacs, PharmD, BCACP, BC-ADM, CDCES: 2026 Outstanding Educator in Diabetes Award and to  Korey Hood who receives the Richard Rubin award. Dr. Rubin was a pioneer in behavioral science and committed to keeping the person with diabetes at the center of research and care.

Sometimes a cave is just a cave. Geologist Marcia Bjornerud will give us a guided tour of Plato's Cave. Marcia Bjornerud is Professor of Geology and Environmental Studies at Lawrence University in Appleton. Her research focuses on the physics of earthquakes and mountain-building, and she combines field-based studies of bedrock geology with quantitative models of rock mechanics. Marcia was named Outstanding Educator in 2011 by the Association of Women Geoscientists. She is the author of  Reading the Rocks:  The Autobiography of the Earth, a contributing writer to The New Yorker's science and technology blog, “Elements”. Her most recent book is called Timefulness: How thinking like a geologist can help save the world. In 2022, she will publish Geopedia: A Cabinet of Geologic Curiosities. In Reading the Rocks, Marcia writes that "The only autobiography that was transcribed without any self-interest or self-consciousness is the life history of Earth, which has literally been written in the rocks. [It is] the only text that should be mandatory for every earthling. Because we are destroying the roof and destabilizing the heating system of our beautiful home - our only shelter - without having taken the trouble to study the construction details of this house."     Sources we mention in the podcast: -John Harte (2002), Toward a Synthesis of the Newtonian and Darwinian Worldviews. https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/10.1063/1.1522164  -Sabine Hossenfelder (2018), Lost in Math: How Beauty Leads Physics Astray (more on this book in a later episode)  - Livestream of the Icelandic volcano eruption (updated 11-Apr-21): https://www.ruv.is/frett/2021/03/18/bein-utsending-fra-gosstodvunum-nyjar-sprungur-opnast    Videos that capture thinking on geologic timescales, provided by Marcia:  Nice illustration of how scale modeling with sand can allow us to see mountain-building processes too slow to experience directly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9bKXY0OMxc   This one is not about rock deformation over time, but shows how geologists take 2D surface (map) information and convert it into 3D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5CHd6_cIT44   A recently released depiction of plate motions over the past 800 million years: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/06/science/tectonic-plates-continental-drift.html   A more detailed plate tectonics animation centered on the Mediterranean region over the past 200 millions years (it first goes backward in time, then forward again to the present): https://www.facebook.com/GeologyWay/videos/2576386299268336/   But Marcia's absolute favorite is this non-scientific animation:  "Das Rad/The Rocks": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOPwXNFU7oU   I hope you enjoy our discussion!

Jennifer Elder works with financial leaders to become more strategic, stay ahead of the competition, and be more successful. As a consultant and keynote speaker, Jennifer is known for being energetic and enthusiastic, and she has the natural talent for taking complicated topics and making them simple, practical, and immediately implementable. CPA Practice Advisor named Jennifer one of the Top 25 Women in Accounting in 2018. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Maryland Association of Certified Public Accountants named her a Woman to Watch in 2015. She has been awarded Outstanding Educator by the American Institute of CPAs five times. And in 2018, Jennifer earned the designation of Certified Speaking Professional, making her one of only 10 people worldwide who hold both the CPA and CSP designations (but maybe I can push that number from 10 to 11 in 2019). Becoming a Future-Ready CFO & Accountant In the past, the role of the CFO was primarily looking in the rear-view mirror at the historical financial statements and reporting it to the other people in the car. This tells you where you have been, but it doesn't necessarily tell you where you’re going. “And there's too much change, too much risk out there. The CFO now has to shift that perspective and look forward. They have to start to be able to look into the crystal ball, see what's coming down the pike.” Future-ready CFOs, and future-ready accountants in general, have to think about what's going on in the world and how it might affect your organization, which means you want to be looking at trends. What are the trends in the world at large? What are the trends in your industry? In the accounting and finance world right now, the trend everybody's looking at and talking about is technology. How are things like artificial intelligence going to change everything? When Jennifer teaches classes on the skills of the future and presentation skills, she breaks it down into five words you need to focus on to really add value to your organization: what, so what, and now what. The what is data. The so what is why should they care? If we're talking about the what, we're just presenting the data that we think somebody needs to get, but we have to think about it from our client’s perspective. “Step out of your own head, get into the head of your audience, and think about what's important to them.” Now what, then, is the action that’s going to help your client move forward.

We’re featuring an interview with jazz bassist Rufus Reid on this week’s episode ofContrabass Conversations. This interview was conducted by guest host Win Hinkle, a former member of the Florida Symphony Orchestra (this orchestra dissolved in 1993) who also worked in Florida as a trombonist, electric bassist, and double bassist, including a lot of time at Walt Disney World. Rufus Reid is, without a doubt, one of the most influential bassists working in jazz today, and he has had a significant impact on double bass performance and pedagogy throughout his career. His book The Evolving Bassist was one of the earliest of the contemporary generation of double bass method books, and it continues to be a foundational text for double bass students. I recommend it to all of my students who are interested in jazz, and I use many of his exercises for arco study and sight reading practice even with students who only study classical music. We’re also featuring Rufus Reid and bassist Michael Moore performing All Blues from their album Double Bass Delights, as well as some listener feedback, bass news, a link of the week, and much more. Check out more recordings of Rufus in various settings on his website’s recordings page. Enjoy!     About Rufus Reid: Born on February 10, 1944 in Atlanta, GA., Rufus Reid was raised in Sacramento, California where he played the trumpet through junior high and high school. Upon graduation from Sacramento High School, he entered the United States Air Force as a trumpet player. During that period he began to be seriously interested in the bass. After fulfilling his duties in the military, Rufus had decided he wanted to pursue a career as a professional bassist. He moved to Seattle, Washington, where he began serious study with James Harnett of the Seattle Symphony. He continued his education at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he studied with Warren Benfield and principal bassist, Joseph Guastefeste, both of the Chicago Symphony. He graduated in 1971 with a Bachelor of Music Degree as a Performance Major on the Double Bass. The MidAtlantic Arts Foundation awarded Rufus The 2005 Mellon Jazz Living Legacy Award for his dedication to America’s National Cultural Treasure: Jazz, for his personal and professional commitment to Jazz Education in the Mid-Atlantic Region. The International Society of Bassists presented Rufus with their highest honor, The Distinguished Achievement Award, in 2001. The New Jersey Chapter of the IAJE named him OUTSTANDING EDUCATOR of 1999. The International Association of Jazz Educators awarded Rufus the Humanitarian Award in 1997 BASS PLAYER magazine, awarded Rufus the 1998 Jazz Educator Achievement Award. About Win Hinkle: Win Hinkle is dedicated double bassist and a former trombonist spending 17 seasons with the Florida Symphony Orchestra in Orlando, until its demise in April of 1993. He worked as a double bassist, bass guitarist, and trombonist for many years in Florida including a lot of time at Walt Disney World. He recently sold his last bass guitar and only plays the double bass. He currently lives in Boston but still tries to spend time in time in Florida, especially in the Winter months.
