How Do Jazz Pianists Know Which Voicings To Use?

Benannt nach dem "Club Social" im Stadtviertel "Buena Vista" der kubanischen Hauptstadt, sucht und setzt sich Gitarrist und Produzent Ry Cooder seine Band aus Altmeistern kubanischer Musik zusammen. Daraus entsteht das erfolgreichste Weltmusik-Album aller Zeiten: "Buena Vista Social Club". In den 40er- und 50er-Jahren haben sich in den Stadtvierteln Havannas viele "Clubs" gegründet, die aber mehr als Vereine zu sehen sind und weniger als Musikclubs, wie wir sie heute aus unserer Gesellschaft kennen, erklärt Musikredakteur Benjamin Brendebach im Podcast. In den Clubs haben sich unterschiedliche soziale Gruppen zusammengefunden, zum Beispiel aus verschiedenen Berufsgruppen. Musik war dabei oft ein elementarer Teil des Zusammenseins. Einer dieser Clubs ist eben der Grundstein für dieses Album geworden, der "Club Social" im Stadtviertel "Buena Vista" in der kubanischen Hauptstadt Havanna. Und eben in diesem Club sind zu der Zeit neue Rhythmen entstanden und geprägt worden, die wir heute – vor allem auch aus der Tanzschule – kennen. Während es heutzutage üblich ist, dass Musiker, wenn sie ins Studio gehen, um Songs aufzunehmen, nicht gemeinsam im Tonstudio stehen, sondern jede Instrumenten- und Gesangsspur einzeln und nacheinander aufzeichnen. So wird unter anderem sichergestellt, dass jede Spur perfekt eingespielt worden ist – perfekt im Rhythmus und ohne störende Nebengeräusche. Beim "Buena Vista Social Club" war das ganz anders, erzählt Benjamin Brendebach. Das Besondere daran ist auch, dass es eben keine fest bestehende Gruppe war und alles sehr organisiert war, sondern dass es eine Art musikalisches Kollektiv aus dieser Stadt bzw. dem Viertel gewesen ist. Wenn für einen Song noch ein Pianist gebraucht wurde, hat man sich überlegt, wer könnte denn zum Beispiel das Klavier spielen? Dann ist man zu der Wohnung in der Nachbarschaft gegangen und hat diesen Bekannten einfach dazugeholt, so umschreibt es Brendebach und fügt hinzu: "Das macht es eben auch aus". Für Musikredakteur Benjamin Brendebach signalisiert dieses Album vor allem, dass man als Hörer und Musikfan offen bleiben sollte, was das Musikalische angeht. Und für Musikredakteurin Katharina Heinius zeigt dieses Album, dass wir musikalisch und kulturell verbunden sind. "Diese Musik ist wie ein Schmelztigel! […] Dieses Album zeigt einfach, dass Musik verbindet." Katharina Heinius über die Bedeutung von "Buena Vista Social Club“ __________ Alle Shownotes und weiterführenden Links zur Folge "Buena Vista Social Club" findet ihr unter https://www.swr.de/swr1/ __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Klassische Musik sei für Außenstehende oft unzugänglich, findet Boris Giltburg. Deshalb hat er sich zum Ziel gesetzt, nicht nur als Pianist auf der Bühne Musik zum Erlebnis zu machen, sondern auch als Blogger. Hier wie dort entschlüsselt er Aha!-Momente, er blickt in die Erzählung, hinter die Noten und Partituren, mit offenen Ohren und Augen - und mit Herz! Als feinsinniger Künstler schafft es Boris Giltburg mit seinen Interpretationen immer wieder, Menschen für die Musik zu begeistern und zu fesseln. Und wenn er gerade keine Musik macht? Dann gilt sein Herz auch anderen Leidenschaften: Er fotografiert für sein Leben gern, spricht sechs Sprachen fließend und übt sich als "baker of breads". Eine Übernahme von BR-Klassik aus der Reihe "Meine Musik".

Pianist, organist, composer, and bandleader Carla Bley (born May 11, 1936) considered herself primarily a composer, saying she was 99% composer and 1% pianist. She associated herself with the avant guard movement, allying herself with musicians like Charlie Haden, Michael Mantler, and others in her cutting edge ensembles, she organized the Jazz Composers Guild in the 1960s featuring many of the most innovative musicians in NYC at the time, and her record label released recordings of Don Cherry, Roswell Rudd and Clifford Thornton.

Gabríel Ólafs is an Icelandic pianist, composer, and producer whose work blends classical tradition with fantasy and a strikingly modern sense of atmosphere. Born in Reykjavík in 1998, he began playing piano at the age of five, receiving both classical and jazz training before emerging as a recording artist while still a teenager.His debut album, Absent Minded, was released in 2019, and his subsequent work has expanded steadily in scope—from the solo intimacy of Piano Works to the folk-inspired Lullabies for Piano and Cello, which grew out of a 1906 Icelandic songbook he discovered in an antique shop.He is also the co-founder of the Reykjavík Orkestra, and has quickly become one of the most distinctive young voices in contemporary instrumental music. Most recently, with Polar, he has moved further into speculative, atmospheric composition, drawing in part on the dreamlike emotional language of video games.Gabriel Ólafs: Website Releases Archive Spotify Apple Music YouTube InstagramPolar: Listen on Spotify Listen on Apple Music Buy CD (Decca Classics) Buy from Decca Records US YouTube PlaylistPolar: Traveler's Log: Listen on SpotifyPolar: Building A World: Watch on YouTubeThe Waves: Listen on SpotifyForza Horizon 6: Official Site XboxOther Gabriel Ólafs Releases / Labels: Oli Records Decca Classics Releases ArchiveJóhann Jóhannsson / IBM 1401: Listen on Spotify Watch on YouTubeNils Frahm: Website SpotifyGabriel's Perfect Console: World of Warcraft The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered God of War Death Stranding Baldur's Gate 3Other Games Discussed The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Diablo IV Metal Gear Solid 2Become a My Perfect Console supporter and receive a range of benefits at www.patreon.com/myperfectconsoleTake the Acast listener survey to help shape the show: My Perfect Console with Simon Parkin Survey 2025 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Eyewitness History, I speak with Daryl Davis, an American R&B and blues musician, author, and race-relations activist whose life has uniquely bridged the worlds of music and social change. Davis is widely known for an unconventional and controversial approach to combating racism: engaging directly with members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups through sustained personal dialogue. Over decades of outreach, he has persuaded dozens of Klansmen to renounce their affiliation, and he has documented these encounters in his book Klan-Destine Relationships: A Black Man’s Odyssey in the Ku Klux Klan as well as in the documentary Accidental Courtesy: Daryl Davis, Race & America (2016). Before his activism gained national attention, Davis established himself as a respected professional musician. A gifted boogie-woogie and blues pianist and vocalist, he studied at Howard University and went on to perform with some of the most iconic figures in American music, including Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, B.B. King, Muddy Waters, and Bo Diddley. His playing style reflects deep roots in traditional blues and early rock-and-roll piano, and he has been recognized within the Washington-area and national blues community for both his technical skill and stage presence. His work is grounded in a belief in communication as a tool for dismantling prejudice, summed up in his view that dialogue, not avoidance, is the most effective response to ignorance and hate. Here, Davis reflects on his unusual journey, the philosophy behind his outreach to the Klan, and the ways music, conversation, and personal encounter have shaped his understanding of human change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, the boys drink and talk about heading to the movies twice to catch Mando and Grogu, and we sat in packed theaters to see “Obsession”, the horror-thriller that did 30% better in the second weekend of its wide release than its first. We drink and try to stay positive, but that wasn't difficult when discussing these awesome movies!

Cello and piano can be a brutal matchup when nobody makes room, but when the balance is right it becomes one of the most revealing duo formats in music. We sit down with cellist Matt Haimovitz and pianist Christopher O'Riley to trace how their partnership started, why it clicked so fast, and what they've learned from years of turning rehearsal into a kind of shared research lab.We talk about building programs that cross borders without losing rigor, from Shuffle Play Listen to projects that pull ideas from Beethoven, contemporary music, and arranged songs by artists like Radiohead. Chris shares the pianist's responsibility for momentum and for protecting the “lyric impulse,” and Matt explains how true collaboration feels less like compromise and more like testing ideas until the music tells you what it needs.Then we go deep on Bach Dialogues: Bach sonatas reimagined with a five-string Baroque cello piccolo and the clavichord, an instrument Bach loved for its dynamic control and string-like touch. They unpack the realities of gut strings, pitch standards like A=415, why the clavichord is both expressive and famously quiet, and how modern recording and modeling technology can help bring an “impossible” instrument pairing to life onstage and in the studio.If you care about chamber music, historically informed performance, Bach interpretation, or simply how great musicians listen to each other, this conversation is full of practical insight.

Creativity through the lens of a musician and songwriter"Being creative is so lucky"Robin Batteau's“Banned in Sparta” is a new collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends: Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester.  Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022.   “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC.  One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.”  James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.”  A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton.  Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane.  Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton. Pianist and folk singer Matt Nakoa offers a Bruce Hornsby-like treatment for Simonides of Ceos's “Theatre of Memory (Man of Gold).”    Sharing Grammy, Emmy, Clio, and Gold Record Awards and an Oscar nomination, Robin's recorded over a dozen albums with Pierce Arrow, David Buskin (Buskin & Batteau), and many others.  His jingles feature in long-running, award-sweeping advertising campaigns from "I'm Lovin' It" for McDonalds to “Can't Beat It” for Coca-Cola to "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. He's played his 1898 Scarampella violin with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma to Benny Goodman to Bruce Springsteen and has had his melodies sung by Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Judy Collins, Paul Newman, and more. His songs have supported charities and causes, including World Hunger Year, Ocean Alliance, Bill Clinton's 1992 presidential campaign, and Paul Newman's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids. The Boston Globe defines his music with David Buskin as "Acoustic Heaven."https://robinbatteau.com/https://www.facebook.com/robin.batteauSend us Fan Mail

From Radar Research to Stellar Nucleosynthesis Fred Hoyle, born in West Yorkshire in 1915, spent his childhood immersed in the cinema where his mother worked as a pianist, performing classical music for silent films and providing the environment where Hoyle taught himself to read by watching the onscreen subtitles. He pursued his higher education at Cambridge, where he studied under distinguished physicists like Paul Dirac, Max Born, and Rudolf Peierls while developing an interest in chemistry and particle physics. After earning his PhD in 1939, Hoyle's academic career was interrupted by World War II, during which he performed secret radar research for the British military in Section 8X RC8 before returning to Cambridge as a professor in 1945. A critical turning point occurred during a military-related trip to the United States when he met astronomer Walter Baade, whose research into population I and II stars and the catastrophic energy of supernovae inspired Hoyle to investigate how elements are formed. In 1946, Hoyle published a seminal paper on stellar nucleosynthesis, theorizing that the universe's chemical elements, from hydrogen to uranium, were forged step-by-step within the cores of massive stars. This theory emerged during a period of great debate between the "cosmic egg" model proposed by Georges Lemaître and the "steady state" model, the latter of which Hoyle championed despite Albert Einstein's earlier rejection of a similar concept in an unpublished paper. While Gamow argued that all elements were synthesized in the high-heat environment of the early expanding universe, Hoyle maintained that the cosmos was perpetual and lacked a definitive beginning. This rivalry was further complicated by the fact that 1940s astronomers had not yet accurately determined the age of the universe, with estimates fluctuating wildly between 2 billion and 10 billion years.

Today's guest is a prolific producer behind Sicko Mode, Broccoli, Bad at Love, Kiss Me More, Laugh Now Cry Later, First Class, and APT. — but whose real story isn't the catalog. It's how most of those songs happened by accident.A classically trained concert pianist who spent his teens grinding through Liszt and Prokofiev knuckle-busters, Rogét quietly became one of the most important producers in modern pop and hip-hop — and almost none of it happened the way he planned.This is one of the more honest conversations about what mastery is actually for — what happens when a decade of preparation collides with a 9pm pull-up, a stock preset, and a flute sound turned on by accident. When the world keeps rewarding your simplest moves, who do you become?And The Writer Is... Rogét Chahayed!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:Years of grinding Liszt and Prokofiev — and a first big check from four major triads on a fluteThe three-week run in 2016 that produced Broccoli, Skywalker, Bad at Love, and the seed of Sicko ModeThe Mr. Miyagi era under Doctor Dre's right-hand man — and a pajama meeting at Dre's hidden studioSicko Mode — made on a stock preset in a closet-sized vocal booth — and the moment he heard it open AstroworldKiss Me More — a 2-5-1 with a walk-down — and what jazz school actually trained him to doCo-executive producing Jack Harlow's album from 4pm to 4am for a year — and how First Class came togetherAPT. — the song he forgot about until Bruno Mars mentioned it at a friend's barbecueAnd much more...Hit subscribe and turn on notifications.
