Nachum Segal presents great Jewish music, the latest news from Israel, interviews with songwriter/pianist Joni Miller, Rabbi Yitzchok Hisiger and Daniel Posner of Athletes for Israel and Morning Chizuk with Rabbi Dovid Goldwasser.

In this episode, I sit down with pianist/vocalist Champian Fulton and saxophonist/clarinetist/composer Klas Lindquist to discuss their latest release, “At Home,” the concept for which began with an event held in a home owned by Turtle Bay Records founder Scott Asen, who suggested they actually record in in his living room.  Oklahoma native and New York based Champian Fulton is the daughter of trumpeter and flugel hornist Stephen Fulton. She began her career at the age of 10, performing for Jazz legend and family friend Clark Terry's 75th Birthday Party. A Jazz pianist and vocalist for more than 20 years, Champian has now released 19 albums as a leader and has performed in more than 25 countries, both in concert and on TV. She has been recognized with numerous awards, including Album of the Year in the NYC Jazz Record (2018, 2020, 2023) and Pianist and Vocalist of the Year (2019) by Hot House Magazine, among other prestigious accolades. A world-renowned ambassador of Jazz excellence, alto saxophonist, clarinetist and composer, Klas Lindquist, was born  in Göteborg, Sweden.  Klas is considered one of Sweden's most exciting Jazz musicians. He is the recipient of the “The Golden Sax” award, “The Alice Babs Award,” “The Stockholm Stads Kulturstipendium”, and the “Gavatin Foundation Prize for Jazz Music.” Recognized for his technical brilliance, imagination and style, Klas is in demand as a recording artist, and has appeared on over 40 albums as a featured soloist and five albums as a leader.  These two seasoned artists with impressive resumes are very fond of the duo format, which is what led them to develop their latest release. And this is where we start our conversation. 

Die Zeitzeugin von Zwangsarbeit und späteres Fotomodell Irma Frei trifft in der Sendung "Persönlich" auf den Pianisten Matthias Schulz, künftiger Intendant des Opernhauses Zürich. Das Gespräch führt Olivia Röllin. Matthias Schulz (47) wird ab kommendem Herbst neuer Intendant des Opernhauses Zürich. Der gebürtige Bayer greift zur Eröffnung am 19. September 2025 gleich selbst in die Tasten: Der studierte Pianist und Volkswirt begleitet die Mezzosopranistin Elīna Garanča bei ihrem Liedrezital. Dafür zieht er von Berlin nach Zürich. Ob er auch seine fünf Töchter für den Umzug begeistern kann? Fest steht: Derzeit lernt er noch Schweizerdeutsch und geniesst – neben der intensiven Planung für die kommenden Spielzeiten – die Nähe zu den Bergen und zum See. Irma Frei (84) wurde als Jugendliche ins Heim eingewiesen und kurz darauf zur Zwangsarbeit verpflichtet – und das nur, weil sich ihre Eltern damals trennten. Erst mit Erreichen der Volljährigkeit, die damals bei 20 Jahren lag, wurde Irma Frei in die Freiheit entlassen. Für drei Jahre harter Schichtarbeit erhielt sie zum Schluss lediglich 50 Franken. Später arbeitet sie als Fotomodell und Verkäuferin in einer Herrenboutique. Jahrzehntelang schweigt sie über dieses Kapitel ihres Lebens, weder ihr Mann noch ihre zwei Töchter wissen Bescheid – bis sie mit über 80 all ihren Mut zusammennimmt und ihre Geschichte öffentlich macht. ____________________ Moderation: Olivia Röllin ____________________ Das ist «Persönlich»: Jede Woche reden Menschen über ihr Leben, sprechen über ihre Wünsche, Interesse, Ansichten und Meinungen. «Persönlich» ist kein heisser Stuhl und auch keine Informationssendung, sondern ein Gespräch zur Person und über ihr Leben. Die Gäste werden eingeladen, da sie aufgrund ihrer Lebenserfahrungen etwas zu sagen haben, das über den Tag hinaus Gültigkeit hat.

In 2007, Yevgeny Sudbin released an album of music by Alexander Scriabin. Reviewing it in Gramophone, Bryce Morrison described it as a 'disc in a million'. Now, Sudbin has returned to the composer for his 25th recording for BIS, and offers a wide-ranging survey of music that includes two more of the piano sonatas. James Jolly caught up with Yevgeny Sudbin recently to talk about his relationship with the composer and his unique musical world.

Today's Coffee Connection is another musical episode. I chatted with Ngoc Vu, DAAD Music Scholarship Alumnus. He has won several national and international piano competitions over the years. Ngoc debuted in Semperoper Hall in Dresden when he turned 15, and he played at Carnegie Hall during the annual DAAD Sound Understanding Concert. Ngoc is originally from Dresden, Germany. What started as a mere coincidence turned into a successful career as a pianist. After graduating with an artist diploma from the University of Southern California 2018, he moved to Miami, FL. Recently, he finished his Artist Diploma in Piano Performance at the University of Miami Frost School of Music. Throughout the episode, you'll hear several pieces he enjoys playing.

Patrick shares stories of his mother and her ability to light up a room whenever she walks in. "She's always herself," beams Patrick. Patrick attributes, her sense of humor to her brothers and he says "she's a little butch, not too feminine."  And all of that and more makes him love his mother even more. "She unadulterated herself. She never code switches or changes her behavior depending on the crowd. She always her most authentic self."Eight years of piano lessons was tough for Patrick. He didn't like the repetitive method that his teacher was using and he was bored. His mom eventually had to ground him for not practicing. But that's when he started exploring with little chunks, the melodies, the notes, breaking things down, playing them backwards and forwards until he absolutely fell in love with playing the piano. Patrick claims that his mom "gave him that space to be able to do that and what a privilege." He also admits that his ADHD was most likely a big part of the problem and today, finds great relief by taking a prescribed medication. Patrick's philosophy "even though life around you is chaos, you can still find an inner calm/inner peace, and my mom has that in spades. She can re-infect a room with her vibrancy so easily.She walks into a room and it lights up.""My mother knows that she's infectious around everybody else and so she's able to kind of manipulate that too to better suit the environment a little bit. She thinks everyone should be themselves, most authentically all the time.Below is the first first email response that I got from Patrick having asked if he'd be interested in joining me on SHLTMM."Hey Jackie. Thanks for reaching out! I love this concept for a podcast. My story fits perfectly for this since she's been a freelance true crime documentary writer for decades and she allowed me to feel confident in that space, just seeing her succeed and talking about the struggles in that space. I had a good role model. And also… she was the one who grounded me if I didn't practice piano lol, and now I'm a professional pianist so… I owe it to her for a lot of who I am today

As the journals of the American writer Joan Didion (based on conversations with her psychiatrist) are published, writer and journalist Rachel Cooke and Alan Taylor, editor of actor Alan Rickman's diaries, discuss the challenges, responsibilities and ethics of posthumously publishing the diaries of great writers, artists and actors. Acclaimed German pianist Pianist Igor Levit talks about his own challenge - that of performing Erik Satie's pioneering piece Vexations, in a performance at the Multitudes arts festival at London's Southbank Centre. The performance is directed by leading performance artist Marina Abramovic and is expected to last approximately 15 hours, as Levit repeats Satie's one-page score 840 times. And how should great women be memorialised? Cultural critic Stephen Bayley and author and activist Sara Sheridan discuss what a memorial to Queen Elizabeth II might look like, and why, in comparison to their male counterparts, so few women have grand memorials in our towns and cities. Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan

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.

This week on Jazz After Dinner, Joe is  featuring Pianist Lennie Tristano from his 1956/1962 Atlantic Records recordings, titled “Lennie Tristano/The New Lennie Tristano.”

Mona Golabek is an author, actress and Grammy Nominated concert pianist. She has an important and touching Holocaust related story. It's about her mother, Lisa Jura, at the time a 14 year old pianist living with her family in Vienna, who escaped from the Nazis to England via the Kindertransport program. Mona has written a book about this called “The Children of Willesden Lane”. She subsequently adapted it into a stage version which played in New York, London and elsewhere, starring Mona and for which she received several Best Actress nominations. Later still Mona created a foundation which has brought her mother's story to over 10 million students and communities around the world. In addition to all this, Mona is a Grammy nominated pianist and the subject of several documentaries including “Concert For Mona” with Zubin Mehta. My featured song is “Ma Petite Fleur”.

Tune in as we pay tribute to the incomparable Roberta Flack, who we sadly lost last month. From her 1969 debut album First Take (featuring Open Studio artist Ron Carter on bass) to her iconic collaborations with Donny Hathaway – we dissect why what Flack didn't play was just as important as what she did. We'll explore how this classical piano prodigy, who entered Howard at 15 and didn't write her own songs, became the Quiet Storm Queen that influenced every soul, R&B, and jazz singer since. You'll hear why her understated yet commanding vocals and that classic 70s kick drum made “Killing Me Softly” a hit, grooving duets like “You've Got A Friend,” and deep cuts that redefined ballads. Join us to uncover the genius of Roberta Flack.
