VJC Q&T podcast host Russell Schmidt has shared a journey in music education with violist Nancy Buck since they first met in 1995 at Bowling Green State University’s new faculty orientation. And for more than two decades, Nancy and Russ have maintained a joyous partnership on and off the concert stage. Nancy is a nationally-renown artist/teacher who presently serves as an Associate Professor of Viola at Arizona State University. She is also the Artistic Director and Co-Founder of the Arizona Violacademy. Nancy recently stopped by the MSW-Tempe studio to share questions and tangents with Russ. In this, the first of two podcasts together, they discussed the pervasive impact a great mentor teacher can have, the factors that shifted her path from violinist to violist, and even the unexpected benefits that may fall to the first student of the day to get a lesson. Learn more about Nancy Buck here:https://music.asu.edu/profile/nancy-buck Learn more about the Arizona Violacademy, for which she serves as Artistic Director and Co-Founder, here:https://astaaz.org/event/violacademy/ Learn more about some of the people, institutions, and other subjects mentioned in the podcast here:Heidi Castleman – https://www.juilliard.edu/music/faculty/castleman-heidiOtto Erdesz – https://josephcurtinstudios.com/otto-erdesz-remembered/Howard Johnson – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howard_Johnson_(jazz_musician)Elizabeth Oakes – https://music.uiowa.edu/people/elizabeth-oakesVincenzo Sannino – https://tarisio.com/cozio-archive/cozio-carteggio/vincenzo-sannino/Rayburn Wright – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayburn_WrightArizona State University School of Music – https://music.asu.edu/Bowling Green State University College of Musical Arts – https://www.bgsu.edu/musical-arts.htmlCanton Symphony Orchestra – https://www.cantonsymphony.org/Cleveland Institute of Music – https://www.cim.edu/Oakland Symphony Youth Orchestra – https://www.oaklandsymphony.org/community-education/oakland-symphony-youth-orchestra/Oberlin Conservatory of Music – https://www.oberlin.edu/conservatoryPlymouth Church UCC of Shaker Heights (OH) – https://www.plymouthchurchucc.org/San Francisco Symphony Youth Orchestra – https://www.sfsymphony.org/EducationCommunity/SFS-Youth-OrchestraStrings (magazine) – https://stringsmagazine.com/Tendonitis (a.k.a.

VJC Q&T podcast producer (and Critics Anonymous podcast co-host) Caleb Kilian has know Valley Jazz Cooperative Director Russell Schmidt for more than a decade. And for the past five years, they have worked together as colleagues at Music Serving the Word Ministries, where Caleb serves as Media Manager and Russ is Coordinator of Education.At the start of the Arizona Music Educators Association’s 2020 Conference, and with concert band and jazz ensemble competition season imminent for music educators all over the country, Russ sat down with Caleb to record a unique Questions and Tangents podcast, one in which the usual host was the interviewee, not the interviewer. Their wide-ranging dialogue encompassed such subjects as the intersection of objectivity and subjectivity in education, how a mentor teacher continues to impact his life thirty years after his passing, and even why musicians “playing in parallel” might not be as good a thing as it sounds.Learn more about Caleb Kilian and Russell Schmidt here:https://musicservingtheword.org/artist_ministersFind the Critics Anonymous podcast (co-hosted by Caleb Kilian and Robert Garza) here:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/critics-anonymous/id1480289208Learn more about some of the individuals mentioned in the podcast here:Count Basie – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_BasieMichael Brecker – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_BreckerGabe Condon – https://www.gabecondon.com/Duke Ellington – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_EllingtonMaynard Ferguson – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maynard_FergusonPaul Ferguson – http://paulfergusonmusic.com/Herbie Hancock – https://www.herbiehancock.com/Neal Hefti ­– https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neal_HeftiWoody Herman – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_HermanJohn Hollenbeck – https://johnhollenbeck.com/Vijay Iyer – https://vijay-iyer.com/Thad Jones – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thad_JonesStan Kenton –https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_KentonJoel McNeely – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_McNeelyMatt Mitchell – http://www.mattmitchell.us/Sammy Nestico – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_NesticoBud Powell – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bud_PowellBuddy Rich – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_RichMaria Schneider – https://www.mariaschneider.com/Wayne Shorter – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_ShorterBilly Strayhorn – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billy_StrayhornArt Tatum – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_TatumAlexa Tarantino – https://alexatarantino.com/Rayburn Wright – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayburn_WrightThanks for listening!PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & RATE THIS EPISODE!Website: https://www.valleyjazz.org/Social Media (Facebook): https://www.facebook.com/ValleyJazzCooperative/About The Interviewee: Pianist/composer/educator Russell Schmidt has performed with such celebrated artists as Carl Allen, Michael Brecker, Eddie Daniels, Joe Lovano, Gerry Mulligan, Lucas Pino, Arturo Sandoval, and Clark Terry.

Thanksgiving is a time to count your blessings, not your carbs. In this episode, the Critics salivate over popular staples like mashed potatoes and stuffing (or dressing) that are likely to be served during upcoming Thanksgiving Feasts across the country, even a weird cottage cheese and pineapple concoction. Marshmallows do not always fix a dish. From discussing deep fried turkeys to honey baked hams, listening to this episode on an empty stomach is not recommended.

In a world surrounded by technology, the Critics take a look at some of the newest advances in mobile phones and also reflect on past highlights of the cell phone era from Snake on the unbreakable Nokia to the tri-lens of the dazzling iPhone 11.

The Critics also reflect on the past three episodes and try The Grand Canyon Brewing Company’s Sunset Amber Ale.Thanks for listening!PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & RATE THIS EPISODE!Connect with us:INSTAGRAM:Critics Anonymous - @criticsanonymouspodcastCaleb - @calebkilianRobert - @the_turd88TWITTER:Critics Anonymous - @critics_idiotsCaleb - @calebkilianRobert - @RobbieRobIIICritics Anonymous is produced and edited by Caleb Kilian.

Connecting over common experiences deepens relationships. Who hasn’t been frustrated with a co-worker? Who hasn’t been to an incredible place they love? Who hasn’t experienced a funny anecdote? Our experiences form the fabric of connection with those around us. However, there is another story. Sometimes it’s revealed in the stories we share. You can catch it in the glimpse on someone’s face, a downward glance, or a gentle sigh. While we share with others, there is another narrative happening in our hearts and minds. I am talking about the Other side of the story. It is the story we tell ourselves.Thanks for listening!PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & RATE THIS EPISODE!Website:Link - bobfabey.comSocial Media:Instagram - @bfabeyFacebook - @bobfabey.pageTwitter - @bob_FabeyLinkedln - Bob FabeyInterested in buying NOTMYJESUS - CLICK HERE!New Here?Bob Fabey is a Connector, Developer and a Dignity Champion.

In this special “wait, he’s not interviewing a jazz musician” episode, VJC Q&T podcast host Russell Schmidt took the show in a different direction. With a goal of exploring creativity in various fields, and expanding beyond the realm of jazz, he invited comedian Genevieve Rice (https://genevieverice.com/) to share questions and tangents with him. There is certainly much common ground between jazz and comedy: performance aspects, creative development of source material, rhythm and pacing, even improvisation. The wide-ranging discussions in this episode included how a one-time, open mic opportunity grew into a stand-up career for Genevieve, whether or not the writing of a particular joke is ever truly finished, and the impact motherhood has had on her comedy. Learn more about and listen to Genevieve Rice here:https://genevieverice.com/https://twitter.com/genevievericehttp://www.thankyouforbeingapodcast.libsyn.com/https://tastebuddies.libsyn.com/Learn more about some of the artists, programs, and other topics mentioned in the podcast here:Maria Bamford – https://www.mariabamford.com/Mark Cherry – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_CherryAnthony Desamito – http://www.anthonydesamito.com/Craig Ferguson – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_FergusonGilbert Gottfried – https://gilbertgottfried.com/Dana Gould – https://www.danagould.com/Jeff Libman – http://jefflibmanmusic.com/Patton Oswald – http://www.pattonoswalt.com/Paul F.

In this special Jazz Educators Panel episode, focusing on subjects of specific interest to music teachers and their students, VJC Q&T podcast host Russell Schmidt shared questions and tangents with artist-teachers Tito Carrillo (Associate Professor of Jazz Trumpet at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) and Paul Ferguson (Director of Jazz Studies at Case Western Reserve University).Shortly after the 2019 Highland/ASU Jazz Festival (at which Tito served as an adjudicator, clinician, and performer), they got together to discuss preferred pedagogical approaches and examine trends and tendencies found with their current students. Among the topics considered: the differences between a practice mindset and a performance mindset, the educational benefits of free improvisation, and even the value of a more tactile learning experience.Learn more about Tito Carrillo here: https://music.illinois.edu/faculty/tito-carrilloLearn more about Paul Ferguson here: http://paulfergusonmusic.com/Learn more about some of the artists mentioned in the podcast here:Count Basie – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_BasieWayne Bergeron – https://www.waynebergeron.com/Bob Brookmeyer – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_BrookmeyerMiles Davis – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_DavisSammy Davis, Jr. – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_Davis_JrDuke Ellington – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_EllingtonQuincy Jones – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quincy_JonesThad Jones – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thad_JonesJoe Lovano – http://www.joelovano.com/Wynton Marsalis – https://wyntonmarsalis.org/Sammy Nestico – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sammy_NesticoBuddy Rich – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy_RichMaria Schneider – https://www.mariaschneider.com/Wayne Shorter – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_ShorterHorace Silver – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_SilverThanks for listening!PLEASE SUBSCRIBE & RATE THIS EPISODE!Website:https://www.valleyjazz.org/Social Media (Facebook):https://www.facebook.com/ValleyJazzCooperative/About The Host:Pianist/composer/educator Russell Schmidt has performed with such celebrated artists as Carl Allen, Michael Brecker, Eddie Daniels, Joe Lovano, Gerry Mulligan, Lucas Pino, Arturo Sandoval, and Clark Terry.
