Podcasts about Paul Desmond

This SPECIAL EPISODE introduces my new single “THE CUT OF THE KNIFE”. It's the last of the four new singles that I've released monthly beginning in March. The first was “Rough Rider”, the second was “Moon Shot”, and the third was “Day At The Races”.I wrote “The Cut Of The Knife as a kind of homage to Dave Brubeck, the revered American jazz pianist. His saxophonist, Paul Desmond, wrote a song called “Take Five”, and the Brubeck band recorded it in 1959 on their album “Time Out”. That tune has become the biggest selling jazz song of all time. It even became a big crossover hit on the radio.One of the things that made “Take Five” so cool was that it was written in an odd time signature, 5/4 time. So the song's title was a play on words about its time signature and it was also an inside musician's phrase telling the band to relax for five minutes before the next set.“The Cut Of The Knife” features an incredible Guest Artist on guitar solo - Kerry Marx, the Musical Director of the Grand Ole Opry band who has been a guest on this podcast. His credits include touring with Johnny Mathis, Olivia Newton-John and Don McLean, recordings with Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, movie albums like “Finding Nemo”, and music awards shows like Billboard, CMA and the American Music Awards.And a shout out goes to two of my longtime Project Grand Slam band mates - Baden Goyo on keys and Joel E. Mateo on drums. Both play terrific solos on the new single. And Joel's drum solo is particularly meaningful because Joe Morello, Brubeck's drummer, played a memorable drum solo on “Take Five”.“The Cut Of The Knife” has been called “Elegant”, “Beautiful” and “A Wonder”!CLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKSCLICK HERE FOR THE OFFICIAL VIDEO ---------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S RECENT SINGLES:“DAY AT THE RACES” is Robert's single that captures the thrills, chills and pageantry of horse racing's Triple Crown.

This week on Jazz After Dinner, Joe features Saxophonist Paul Desmond from his 1959 Gambit Records recording “First Place Again."

Time Out es un disco de 1959 (originalmente catalogado como CS 8192) del Dave Brubeck Quartet. Es caracterizado por piezas compuestas en compases musicales inusuales en el jazz contemporáneo al disco, incluyendo vals y vals de doble tiempo, como también compases de 9/8 y de 5/4, este último en una de las obras más famosas del grupo, Take Five, la cual fue compuesta por Paul Desmond. Aunque el disco fue concebido como un experimento (supuestamente el presidente de la productora Columbia Records, Goddard Lieberson, tomaba un riesgo al lanzarlo) y recogió críticas negativas luego de su lanzamiento, se transformó en uno de los más famosos y mejor vendidos discos de jazz de la historia, y su sencillo Take Five se convirtió en un estándar del género musical.

Es caracterizado por piezas compuestas en compases musicales inusuales en el jazz contemporáneo al disco, incluyendo vals y vals de doble tiempo, como también compases de 9/8 y de 5/4, este último en una de las obras más famosas del grupo, Take Five, la cual fue compuesta por Paul Desmond. Aunque el disco fue concebido como un experimento (supuestamente el presidente de la productora Columbia Records, Goddard Lieberson, tomaba un riesgo al lanzarlo) y recogió críticas negativas luego de su lanzamiento, se transformó en uno de los más famosos y mejor vendidos discos de jazz de la historia, y su sencillo Take Five se convirtió en un estándar del género musical. Producción A pesar de que la temática y el propio título de Time Out giran en torno a lo poco frecuente que son los compases en las cuales están compuestos los temas, la cuestión puede ser analizada con más detenimiento. "Blue Rondo à la Turk" comienza con un compás de 9/8 (mismo ritmo de la danza turca zeybek, equivalente a la griega zeibekiko), pero con la poco tradicional subdivisión de 2+2+2+3 (el patrón normal para el 9/8 es 3+3+3), y los solos de saxo y piano están en 4/4. "Blue Rondo à la Turk" no está basada en "Rondo alla Turca", de la Sonata para piano nº 11 de Mozart, sino en un ritmo turco que Brubeck había escuchado.1​ "Strange Meadow Lark" comienza con un solo de piano sin una métrica definida, para luego asentarse en un ritmo corriente de 4/4 cuando se incorpora el resto de los instrumentos. "Take Five" se mantiene en 5/4 de comienzo a fin, excepto en el solo de batería. "Three to Get Ready" se inicia en ritmo de vals y luego alterna entre dos ritmos, el 3/4 (propio del vals) y dos de 4/4. "Kathy's Waltz" comienza en 4/4 y más adelante cambia a un vals doble, para luego fusionar ambos ritmos. "Everybody's Jumpin'" se desarrolla principalmente en un 6/4 flexible, mientas que "Pick Up Sticks" se afirma en un claro y regular 6/4. Emeki además de contar con una excelente producción, resulta ser un ejercicio de pura espontaneidad y frescura. Un disco sincero, sin más artificio que la recreación del instante en clave de pura elegancia jazz. Un trabajo que gira en torno a la búsqueda de identidad propia. Sutil, parte de sólidas premisas y nos propone el encuentro con ese momento irrepetible a través de la improvisación. Composiciones como Whisper not del saxofonista, compositor y arreglista norteamericano Benny Golson o Blue in Green, una composición original de Bill Evans y Miles Davis que aparecería en el aclamado disco Kind of Blue de este último, dotan al trabajo de una impronta poco frecuentes. La banda transita suavemente por los dinámicos e improvisados pasajes de In love in vain, una composición original de Jerome Kern para deleitarnos con la deliciosa adaptación de Over the rainbow. Rafa Aceves escribe Marian como homenaje a su hermana, una composición que pone de manifiesto, tanto la sensibilidad como el talento compositivo de su autor. La banda recrea la figura del pianista norteamericano Herbie Hancock en Dolphin dance, obsequiándonos nuevamente con la delicadeza siempre muy presente a lo largo de este trabajo en Never let me go, del compositor Jay Livingston para finalizar con la recreación de la canción popular La Tarara, recuperada y adaptada en su momento por el poeta y dramaturgo Federico García Lorca. Emeki está escrito con ese lenguaje aún por descubrir, imprevisible y sutil. Ese lenguaje delicado y sin palabras donde subyace entre millones de probabilidades, la opción precisa. Ese instante concreto y no otro. Una nota que fugazmente nos desvela la verdadera esencia de un artista en busca de lo extraordinario, en busca de lo que es.

Andrés Amorós dedica el programa al músico de jazz, saxo alto, que hacía melodías hasta para los que no les gustan este género.

Er war einer der größten Melodiker. Seinen sanften, luftig-leichten Ton verglich der Saxofonist mit einem "trockenen Martini". Das Dave Brubeck Quartett machte Paul Desmond weltberühmt und er schrieb die bekannteste Komposition des Jazz, "Take Five". Von Karsten Mützelfeldt.

En esta ocasión, Germán Martínez Aceves nos comparte una magnífica selección musical del saxofonista Paul Desmond para conmemorar el centenario de su nacimiento.

Am 25. November vor 100 Jahren wurde Paul Desmond geboren – Symbol des sogenannten „Cool“, einer Spielart des Jazz, die stark auf europäische Elemente zurückgreift.

Pianist/composer Dave Brubeck and Alto Saxophonist Paul Desmond are enshrined in jazz history as the most prominent voices of the popular Dave Brubeck quartet. This group cast an outsized shadow over the jazz scene of the 1950's and 1960's, Desmond's composition "Take Five" is one of the most beloved jazz compositions of all time and was the biggest hit the quartet ever had. Brubeck incorporated diverse musical influences, including that of French composer Darius Milhaud to fashion a style that incorporated odd rhythmic meters and polytonality into a fusion that predated the “third stream” movement. Desmond is perhaps the most influential voice on his instrument since Charlie Parker, he was famously quoted as saying his lyrical, pure sound on the instrument was a result of his wanting to sound like a “dry martini". His series of recordings with guitarist Jim Hall are masterpieces of melodic inventiveness, a testament to his spare, beautiful voice as both composer and performer. Enjoying the show?

In this episode, Brent discusses about a question from listener Michael George, a clarinet player facing challenges with jazz standards often perceived as more suited to tenor saxophone. Michael seeks advice on emulating the styles of Paul Desmond and Stan Getz to improve his clarinet performance. Brent addresses this by debunking the notion that jazz standards are tailored to specific instruments, emphasizing that any jazz standard can be adapted and played on any instrument. He encourages musicians to explore solos and melodies across different instruments, as this approach broadens their understanding of jazz language and enhances their overall musicianship.  He elaborates on the benefits of learning solos from instruments different from one's own, sharing his personal experience as a guitarist who often transcribed solos from piano, saxophone, and trumpet players. Tune in to gain valuable insights on maximizing your practice and expanding your jazz repertoire, regardless of your instrument.Important Links:Free Guide to learning standards by ear: Learn Jazz Standards the Smart WayLJS Inner Circle MembershipListen to the Learn Jazz Standards PodcastLearn Jazz Standards Inner Circle: Get 50% off your first month!

The U.S. Congress takes the first step against a potential ban or sale of TikTok through House legislation, but will this mean the end of the social media app as we know it? Meanwhile, Europe begins adding safeguards around artificial intelligence technology to help protect the privacy of its citizens. Guest co-host Paul Desmond from Saratoga B2B Group joins the show to discuss these issues, as well as whether the U.S. power infrastructure will eventually be unable to support new AI efforts and electric vehicle applications.

The BlackCat ransomware gang, which attacked a large U.S. healthcare company that delivers prescription drug services, has apparently received a $22 million payment and then stiffed their affiliates. Guest co-host Paul Desmond joins the Today in Tech crew to discuss this story and other technology news, including why it's a bad idea for scientists to try and create a new wooly mammoth species.

The ongoing saga between the LockBit ransomware gang and law enforcement officials feels like a made-for-TV movie with back-and-forth ‘trolling', while at the same time the FBI provides warnings about ransomware aimed at hospitals. Paul Desmond joins the crew for another week of guest co-hosting on the show, where they also talk about ongoing AI mishaps from Microsoft and Google, as well as whether they'll ever wear a smartphone bracelet (no) or use a transparent laptop screen (possibly).

In a few days the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood will host the Academy Awards, and so we thought that it would be a lot of fun to come up with an episode of Mondo Jazz featuring exclusively tunes inspired by, dedicated to, or titled after movie stars (regardless of whether or not they have won any Oscar awards). The playlist features The Stance Brothers; Vienna Art Orchestra; Exploding Pig; Adam O'Farrill; Steinar Raknes; Pete Rugolo; Dave Brubeck, Paul Desmond; Shorty Rogers; Wergeld; Miles Davis; and Rachelle Garniez. Detailed playlist at https://spinitron.com/RFB/pl/18614498/Mondo-Jazz (up to “Jean Claude Van Damme”). Happy listening!

OpenAI has fired its opening salvo in the burgeoning AI-generated video space with the announcement of its Sora tool that can generate short video clips based on text prompts. Guest co-host Paul Desmond joins the show to discuss what this could mean for video-related jobs and how misinformation could result from this. Also: law enforcement cracks down on a ransomware gang and how the television has gone from the centerpiece of a home to “just another display.”

 ‘The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Live From The Northwest, 1959' is a collection of never-before-released recordings from the archives of Brubeck Editions of two electrifying concerts recorded on April 4, 1959 at the historic Multnomah Hotel in Portland and on April 5th in the auditorium at nearby Clark College.  The legendary quartet of Dave Brubeck on piano, alto saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright, and drummer Joe Morello are further testament to their unprecedented skills. What master sound engineer, Wally Heider, was able to capture from these diverse and challenging venues  are two performances that embody the very sound of the Dave Brubeck Quartet that audiences first fell in love with - described as “lightning in a bottle.”   We talk with multi-instrumentalist and Grammy-nominated composer, Chris Brubeck, about discovering this stellar collection in the archives, the backstory of how it happened, and why Brubeck Editions chose it as the label's third release in continuing the legacy of Dave Brubeck.  

"Here's That Rainy Day" (ha llegado ese día lluvioso) es una canción popular con música de Jimmy Van Heusen y letra de Johnny Burke que se publicó en 1953.

En 1965, Ella Fitzgerald lo grabó en vivo en su álbum Ella in Hamburg, con Tommy Flanagan al piano y Norman Granz como productor. Escuchemos esas y otras versiones. Hosted on Acast.

Here's a reboot of a fan favorite: Noel Paul Stookey, the Paul of Peter, Paul & Mary. He not only rode the folk wave of the early 1960s with such indelible songs like "Puff the Magic Dragon," "If I Had a Hammer" and helping popularize a young Minnesotan bard who went by the stage name of Bob Dylan, but helped created it. He shares the iconic trio's origin story as well as his own, and the many memories of a life, well lived, in music. Peter, Paul & Mary's long, legendary career was cut short with Mary Travers' tragic death in 2009, but their place in the cultural zeitgeist is eternal. Noel, a part-time Ojai resident, joins us to talk about his new album, "Fazz: Now & Then" and to reflect on the experience of collaborating with fellow musicians during the pandemic to create this nuanced, wide-ranging collection of 20 original songs with talented musicians such as Kent Palmer, Paul Winter, Paul Sullivan, David LaPlante and Edward Mottau. Fazz, as Noel explains, was christened by Paul Desmond of the Dave Brubeck Quartet to explain Peter, Paul & Mary's distinct fusion of jazz and folk. Noel picks up the resident Ojai podcast guitar (be still, my heart) to explain the shadings of alternate chord structures that inform much of the color of the album, as illustrated by the A Major, and the A Major 7th, its "smoky, mysterious cousin." Noel talks about writing "The Wedding Song: There is Love" - for Peter Yarrow's wedding, and his reluctance to perform it again until urged by Peter, and how it has made many, if not most, of the lists of most beautiful songs of all time, right up there with fellow Ojai resident Amanda McBroom's "The Rose." He also discusses his Christian faith and the epiphany he had at age 30 after a decade of fame, and the toll it took on his well-being. There's relevant folk music news: Noel's good friend John McCutcheon just released “Ukraine Now.” We did not talk about Ron DeSantis' fading aspirations, the Buffalo Bills abysmal overtime record or the enduring mystery of who ordered the hit on Tupac Shakur.

With Matt's dad in declining health, Jeff suggested that today's album should be "one for Dad." We discuss Dave Brubeck's Buried Treasures, an archival release which was originally recorded across three nights in Mexico City back in May of 1967. Notably, Dave took the stage with his quartet, featuring legendary saxophonist Paul Desmond, bassist Eugene Wright and drummer Joe Morello. As Brubeck writes in the liner notes, the concerts were recorded for Bravo! Brubeck!, an album that had a "Latin American themed" concept. Bravo! Brubeck! was released that same summer and the concept for the record meant that anything that didn't fit the theme was left on the shelf.  Which means a lot of material went unheard for years. The Buried Treasures release gave Brubeck fans a fresh round of cuts from what had been an extremely inspired run of shows. The liner notes, written by Brubeck, offer an extensive look behind the curtain of the performances. A separate booklet details Brubeck's history with Columbia Records. All of this makes for a fascinating journey into the world of Dave Brubeck if you're up for the trip.But that's just one part of today's episode. We discuss a number of different topics, including dads and parents in general, the sacrifices they make that we often don't know about until years later -- and getting a chance to repay the gifts. Some debts can never be truly repaid, but the gratitude lasts a lifetime. This one's for you, Dad.P.S. Get yourself a copy of Philip Clark's book, Dave Brubeck: A Life in Time. It's a must.
