ARTIST BIOGRAPHY - JON HENDRICKS Jon Hendricks is not only one of the world's favorite jazz vocalists, but is widely considered to be the "Father of Vocalese", the greatest innovator of the art form. Vocalese is the art of setting lyrics to recorded jazz instrumental standards (such as the big band arrangements of Duke Ellington and Count Basie), then arranging voices to sing the parts of the instruments. Thus is created an entirely new form of the work, one that tells a lyrically interesting story while retaining the integrity of the music. Hendricks is the only person many jazz greats have allowed to lyricize their music, for no one writes hipper, wittier, or more touching words, while extracting from a tune the emotions intended by the composer, more sympathetically than Hendricks. For his work as a lyricist, jazz critic and historian Leonard Feather called him the "Poet Laureate of Jazz" while Time dubbed him the "James Joyce of Jive." Born in 1921 in Newark, Ohio, young Jon and his fourteen siblings were moved many times, following their father's assignments as an A.M.E. pastor, before settling permanently in Toledo. As a teen Jon's first interest was in the drums, but before long he was singing on the radio regularly with another Toledo native, the extraordinary pianist Art Tatum. After serving in the Army during WWII, Jon went home to attend University of Toledo as a Pre-law major, courtesy of the G.I. Bill. Just when he was about to enter the graduate law program, the G.I. benefits ran out, and he realized he'd have to chart a different course. Recalling that Charlie Parker had, at a stop in Toledo two years prior, encouraged him to come to New York and look him up, Hendricks moved there and began his singing career. In 1957 he teamed with Dave Lambert and Annie Ross to form the legendary vocal trio Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross. With Jon as lyricist, the trio perfected the art of vocalese and took it around the world, earning them the designation of the "Number One Vocal Group in the World" for five years in a row from Melody Maker magazine. After six years the trio disbanded for solo careers, but not before leaving behind a catalog of legendary recordings, most of which have never gone out of print. Countless singers cite the work of LH&R as an influence, from the Manhattan Transfer to Al Jarreau to Bobby McFerrin. Pursuing a solo career, Hendricks moved his young family to London in 1968, partially so that his five children could receive a better education. While based in London he toured Europe and Africa, performed frequently on British television, and appeared in the British film Jazz is Our Religion and the French film Hommage a Cole Porter. His sold-out club dates drew fans such as the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. Five years later the Hendricks family settled in California, where Jon worked as the jazz critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and taught classes at California State University at Sonoma and the University of California at Berkeley. A piece he wrote specifically for the stage about the history of jazz, Evolution of the Blues, ran an unprecedented five years at the Broadway Theatre in San Francisco and another year in Los Angeles. His television documentary, Somewhere to Lay My Weary Head, received Emmy, Iris, and Peabody awards. Hendricks recorded several critically-acclaimed albums on his own, some with his wife Judith and daughters Michele and Aria contributing. He collaborated with old friends The Manhattan Transfer for their seminal 1985 album, Vocalese, which won seven Grammy Awards. He's served on the Kennedy Center Honors committee under Presidents Carter, Reagan, and Clinton. In 2000, Hendricks returned to his hometown to teach at the University of Toledo, where he was appointed Distinguished Professor of Jazz Studies and received an honorary Doctorate of the Performing Arts. He was recently selected to be the first American jazz artist to lecture at the Sorbonne in Paris, a university established in the year 1248. His fifteen voice group, the Jon Hendricks Vocalstra at the University of Toledo, performed to a standing ovation at the Sorbonne earlier this year. As if perfecting one original art form weren't enough, Hendricks now finds himself happily penning lyrics to some of the world's most beautiful classical pieces. The Vocalstra is currently preparing to give the world premiere of a vocalese version of Rimsky-Korsakov's lush "Scheherazade" with the Toledo Symphony in February 2003. Summer of 2003 will find Jon on tour with the "Four Brothers", a quartet consisting of Hendricks and three of the best-known male vocalists in jazz: Kurt Elling, Mark Murphy, and Kevin Mahogany. Next for Dr. Hendricks is lyricizing and arranging Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, as well as work on two books, teaching, and continued touring with his Vocalstra. He also makes an appearance in the upcoming Al Pacino film, People I Know. http://www.harmonyware.com/JonHendricks/bio.html

Join me, Malorie Nicole, as I delve into the power of gratitude in our everyday lives. Tune in as I share my thoughts on the incredible interconnectedness of our world, thanks to technology that bridges gaps and fuels growth in ways we might not even realize. This conversation serves as a gentle reminder of the abundance we have, simply by having access to the internet and devices that bring us together, including shows like this one. It's a chance to pause and recognize the blessings and opportunities that come our way, prompting us to ponder why we're so fortunate to have these resources. I'll also touch on how we tend to lose perspective when faced with setbacks and challenges, particularly addressing busy entrepreneurs and individuals caught up in the hustle. Gratitude, I believe, goes beyond just a feeling; it's a shift in mindset that can truly transform how we navigate obstacles and view our circumstances. So, join me as we confront the uncomfortable truths of our experiences, acknowledge the ebb and flow of life's highs and lows, and discover how embracing gratitude can enrich our personal and professional journeys.

"I was always motivated by the idea of - what if there was a way to break the system? If you know the system you can break the system. And if you can break the system, then you can do cool stuff"Today's guest is Kilian Lohmann - he's an Oxford Physicist, who has recently submitted his PhD Researching Solar Cells. He's also an improvised comedian, and, I'm lucky enough to say, he's a very dear friend of mine.Kilian studied Natural Sciences, specialising in Physics at Cambridge University for his undergrad which is where we met, as I was doing exactly the same course, at the same college. After completing his undergrad and masters, Kilian went to Oxford to do his PhD, where I also went at the same time to do my masters, and we lived together for a year. Kilian is one of the most brilliant, kind and unique people I know. So often intellect is associated with harsh metaphors - razor sharp, cutting, piercing, but Kilian is an example of where we need different metaphors. He's warm, humble and quietly confident, while at the same time possessing great insight both within science and life generally. I've learned a great deal from him. To my delight, this episode shows both those sides of Kilian really well. We talk about his research on solar cells, but then move on more broadly to his strong sense of morality, discussions of god and science, improv comedy and how it helps with the scientific process, and his advice to anyone aspiring to get into Physics.During this episode, as an fyi, there's a couple of bits where Kilian's girlfriend Chelsea chimes in - this episode was recorded in their house, and it just so happens that she is also a physicist who also works on solar cells. I chose to leave those bits in as they show how a bit more about how Kilian thinks and it made me laugh.More on Kilian's research: https://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/our-people/lohmannInsta: @jack.lawroTikTok: @jack.lawropatreon.com/jacklawrence

I had the pleasure a couple of months back to see KULICK perform live and that performance made me want to know more about the "Rock Star" I just saw. When it comes to life and struggle, Jacob knows it all too well. His catharsis is creating his musical diary that he shares with the world. It is something he can always look too, to find out where he is on his journey. Throughout our conversation you may look inward at yourself or you may yell out in disagreement, but either way you will feel something. Jacob's story has plenty for everyone and his music has even more to give.

Jim Rohn is known for saying that we are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. While the people we know certainly have a huge influence on who we are, I'm not quite so sure it's that simple. I share some thoughts around this idea and what's to come for Season One which features people I know.   About the host Lisa Chin (she/her/hers) believes that knowing ourselves is central to being happy and fulfilled. This podcast is about the observation and examination of self - exploring all the things that make us who we are. Why? Because the better we understand ourselves, the more good we can do in the world.

Inside Out with Jimi Hunt - The Mental Fitness Podcast

According to Wikipedia, “‘Coolness' is an aesthetic, attitude, behaviour, comportment, appearance and style which is generally admired.” When we hear the word ‘cool', our brain often conjures up images of the popular kids at school or, as adults, the people who can afford to buy the latest trends and technology and who have a certain style. Dismissing the semantics, Jimi tells us what cool means to him, listing a variety of personal attributes, traits and values that deem a person to be cool in his eyes. Unsurprisingly, his list strays quite far from the common interpretation of the word and he explains why he curates his life to be surrounded by his type of cool people. He talks with Libby about the difference between someone who is trendy and someone who is genuinely cool and how even though she was not cool when they first met, by putting her mental fitness at the forefront and working on understanding and loving herself over the past 10 years she has become one of the coolest people he knows. Listen to see if you possess the traits that would make you one of the coolest people Jimi knows, and if not, maybe you could try to be a bit cooler without trying to be cool...
