Déi zwee hu sech viru ronn engem Joer kennegeléiert an et huet direkt "gefonkt". Viru Kuerzem war de Release-Concert fir den Album an der Elbphilharmonie zu Hamburg, an an nächster Zäit sti weider Projeten um Plang. Wat nach alles komme wäert, wéi et zu dëser Kollaboratioun koum, a firwat de Philip Glass am Vierdergrond steet, dat hunn d'Pianistin an de Vibraphonist dem Marie Schockmel an engem Gespréich verroden.

Chris Dingman is a vibraphonist who shares his journey into music, the transformative power of sound, how he became a music channeller, and even how he found mediumship. He discusses the unique qualities of the vibraphone, his experiences with grief, and how he uses music as a healing tool. The conversation also delves into his Bardo Bath events and the profound sound and color experiences that Sarah experienced while experiencing his Transformation event. The crew discusses spiritual experiences that inspire creativity and the importance of curiosity in understanding one's mediumistic abilities. Chris talks about how he channels music and ultimately explains why he loves playing music so much: the thrill of exploring the unknown in music creation.  Takeaways Transformational music sessions are designed for healing and reflection. Grief can manifest in many forms and deserves space for processing. Sound can create a liminal space for transcendence. Mediumship can be explored through music and personal experiences. The work of mediumship can be healing for both the practitioner and the recipient. Curiosity drives personal growth and understanding in mediumship. The journey of creation is often more valuable than the final product. Community plays a vital role in artistic endeavors. Exploration in music can lead to unexpected paths Sound Bites from Chris "I started seeing spirits while playing music." "The work heals you." "It's about the journey, not the product."   Musical excerpts:   Journey's v.1 by Chris Dingman Mbira music-Svikiro: Meditations of an Mbira Master Chris Dingman @Dingmanvibes Support the Podcast and check out Patreon Medium Curious Website: MediumCurious Jane's Website: Jane Morgan Medium  Sarah's Website: Sarah Rathke Podcast Instagram: MediumCuriousPod (@mediumcuriouspod)  Podcast Tiktok: MediumCuriousPod (@theREAL_mediumcurious)  If you enjoyed this episode of Medium Curious, please Download, Rate, Review, Share and Subscribe to our podcast.

Mit dem Film «Broken Flowers» von Jim Jarmusch hat seine Musik 2005 ein breites Publikum erreicht. Erfunden hat der Vibraphonist und Perkussionist Mulatu Astatke den Ethio Jazz aber bereits Ende der 1960er Jahre, indem er die Musik seiner Heimat Äthiopien mit westlichen Stilen fusioniert hat. Der Sound des Ethio Jazz hat damals die Menschen begeistert, und nicht umsonst hat dieser Stil das sogenannt «goldene Zeitalter der äthiopischen Musik» eingeläutet. Was Mulatu Astatke und den Ethio Jazz so besonders macht und weshalb diese Musik zwischenzeitlich fast in Vergessenheit geraten ist, das bespricht Roman Hošek mit dem Produzenten und Musiker Jeroen Visser - der seit «Broken Flowers» tief in die äthiopischen Musikkultur eingetaucht ist. Die gespielten Titel (CD-Titel | Label): * Mulatu's Hideaway (Afro Latin Soul | Strut Records) * Yègellé Tezata (Single Yègellé Tezata | Buda Musique) * Mulatu (Mulatu of Ethiopia | Strut Records) * Yekermo Sew (Ethio Jazz | Amha Records) * Muiscawi Silt (Tche Belew | Kaifa Records) * Cha Cha (Inspiration Information | Strut Records) * Gamo (Sketches of Ethiopia | Jazz Village) * Mulatu (To Know Without Knowing | Agogo Records)

Behn and I have an in depth discussion about jazz, and being a jazz musician in the 21st century. He has great insights to offer those aspiring to become music professionals. You will not want to miss this episode!!

Vibraphonist, composer, arranger, and educator Nikara Warren is a true Brooklynite. Born and bred in the eclectic and electric enclave, her family, her friends, her band, and her musical pedigree is a microcosm of the county at large. Her grandfather is a world-renowned jazz pianist Kenny Barron, and she's the daughter of a half Trinidadian soca/dancehall lover father, and a classic 1990s “Brooklyn ‘Round the Way” girl mother. Nikara is taking vibes to the people with her infectious compositional sense, her post-modern patchwork of influences and cultural signposts, and her fearless musicality. Her bold quest comes from being well-versed in the vibraphone lineage but seeking to adventure beyond it. Her debut album, Black Wall Street, represents a convergence of Nikara's personal, cultural, familial, and musical journeys. Here, she explores abstract sound-collage, hip-hop, jazz, neo-soul, Afro-Latino and Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and more. The through-line here is for Nikara it's all dance music. Her vision is cohesive but eclectic—just like how people's identities are a product of their various heritages and associations.

Jason is the son of pianist and music educator Ellis Marsalis and his wife Dolores, and the youngest sibling of Wynton, Branford and Delfeayo. Together, the four brothers and their patriarch Ellis, comprise New Orleans venerable first family of jazz. By age six, not only had Jason gotten his first real drum set, but he was also taking lessons from the legendary New Orleans drummer James Black. At age seven he was sitting in with his father’s jazz group, as well as playing with his trombonist brother Delfeayo.  Jason was progressing so rapidly as a drummer that in 1984 his father started using him consistently on engagements. Jason was starting to become a seasoned road veteran before the age of nine, even traveling to the prestigious Berklee School of Music in Boston for Delfeayo’s senior recital. Shortly after graduation from NOCCA high school in 1995, Marsalis ascended to the drum throne of a new group lead by virtuoso pianist and former sideman for Wynton Marsalis, Marcus Roberts. Despite a demanding touring schedule with Roberts, Marsalis furthered his educational goals by attending Loyola University in New Orleans, as well as studying composition with Roger Dickerson at Southern University. The sense of style and tastefulness that Marsalis exhibits in his playing explains why is a highly sought after musician. This style has been well documented on recordings with artists such as the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, Marcus Printup and Marcus Roberts to name but a few. He has also produced two albums under his own name, Year of the Drummer (1998) and Music in Motion (2000), as well as producing a reissue of his father’s earlier recorded work, Syndrome (1996).

Through his three prior Mack Avenue Music Group releases and his attention-grabbing work with the likes of Christian McBride, Bobby Watson, Karriem Riggins, Jeremy Pelt, and the SFJAZZ Collective, Warren Wolf has established himself as the foremost straight-ahead vibraphonist of his generation, a bop torchbearer well equipped to carry the mantle of forebears like Bobby Hutcherson and Milt Jackson. On his latest album, Warren Wolf reveals an entirely different side to his multi-faceted talents. As the title implies, Reincarnation represents a rebirth of sorts for the Baltimore vibes man. In part, it frees Wolf to indulge his love for the R&B and soul hits that served as the soundtrack to his formative years in the 1990s. It’s also a celebration of a new lease on life, happiness, and contentment that he’s discovered through a new marriage and his five beloved children. Follow Warren on Facebook, Twitter/Instagram @warrenwolf1

Talking Smooth Jazz welcomes vibraphonist Steve Raybine.  In the late 90’s, Steve Raybine received some great encouragement from Rick Braun, his friend and former bandmate in the critically-acclaimed 70’s progressive jazz ensemble, Auracle. A longtime fan of the veteran vibraphone master and percussionist, the Smooth Jazz superstar suggested, “Why don’t you try to do for vibes what I’ve done with the trumpet?” Embracing Braun’s challenge, Raybine, a longtime music educator who was head of the jazz program at the University of Nebraska-Omaha at the time, has made it his mission since the release of his 2000 debut album Balance Act to make the vibes the centerpiece of a fresh contemporary sound within the genre – a dynamic alternative to the plethora of sax, guitar and keyboard artists.   His latest release, Cool Vibes, a soulful, tropical- tinged collection whose 15 tracks explore Raybine’s lifelong passions for jazz, R&B, Latin, pop/rock and blues.  Follow Steve Raybine on Facebook, Twitter & Instagram.

If you know anything about me by now it's that I like to switch things up in life, and on my podcast every now and then. So this week we are taking a departure from mom talk and exploring the world of jazz with my friend and professional vibraphonist Lolly Allen. Watching Lolly play the vibraphone is exciting. She really gets into it with arms flailing, and mallets flying. I used to play the xylophone in high school and yes, that is as cool as it sounds.  Lolly also shares how playing with musical instruments as a child influenced her career choices. See? Toys and play make a difference! Okay so maybe there is a little bit of mom talk in this episode after all. And she talks about how her parents fostered her love of music from childhood into adulthood. Now she's a pro in the jazz world with one album under her belt and another in the works. She writes and produces her own jazz music. How cool is that? I can barely play chopsticks! I am so impressed with Lolly. Her music is hypnotic. If you close your eyes and listen it's almost like you're being taken back in time, to when big bands featuring vibraphone solos were played on the radio. And men and women mingled after dinner with mixed drinks and handsy neighbors. Think early seasons of Mad Men. Since I feel like jazz musicians naturally have an old soul, I wanted to hear what Lolly thinks about the current state of pop music and she explains how she used Indiegogo to help fund her dream. Lolly is also being honored at the LA Jazz Society Vibe Summit on June 7th. What an accomplishment for a woman in a predominately male area of music! Congrats Lolly! And MIH listeners will get a sampling of her music in this episode as well, so bonus for you! You can download Lolly's music here. And follower her on Twitter @lollyallen And keep an eye out for her next album on her Facebook page and any announcements on her website lollyvibe.com

Join MsBlue & Roy Ayers " Music & Consciousness" The Legendary Roy Ayers Once one of the most visible and winning jazz vibraphonists of the 1960s, then an R&B bandleader in the 1970s and '80s, Roy Ayers' reputation s now that of one of the prophets of acid jazz, a man decades ahead of his time. A tune like 1972's "Move to Groove" by the Roy Ayers Ubiquity has a crackling backbeat that serves as the prototype for the shuffling hip-hop groove that became, shall we say, ubiquitous on acid jazz records; and his relaxed 1976 song "Everybody Loves the Sunshine" has been frequently sampled. Yet Ayers' own playing has always been rooted in hard bop: crisp, lyrical, rhythmically resilient. you tube http://royayers.net/   Contact MsBlue: question4blue(@)gmail.com
