 In the sixties, they explained evolution to us with that March of Progress illustration, a lockstep development from the proto-human Dryopithecus to modern man.  That same approach was also used to explain jazz evolution: New Orleans to Chicago to New York, hot jazz to swing to bebop to cool... Contemporary evolutionary biologists will tell you that that sixties view is far too linear and simplistic.  Should the same be said about the received history of the music?     Let's consider saxophonist Sam Rivers.  He played in the bands of Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, curated the most prominent jazz loft in the seventies, and led bleeding edge improvisatory small bands.  But he also composed at least a page a day of large-ensemble music, over 400 discrete compositions.  This is an astonishing volume of work, perhaps even unprecedented.  So where do you put Sam Rivers in your Jazz March of Progress?     This large ensemble work by Sam Rivers is the topic of this Monday's (9/4) edition of Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus.  The guest will be trombonist Craig Harris who played in Rivers's Orchestra and is organizing a tribute performance for Sam Rivers' centennial on September 22, 2023 at Mt. Morris Ascension Presbyterian Church.  If you haven't heard this music, this show will be revealing (and if you have then I didn't even need to tell you all of this!).   Photo credit: Sam Rivers - flute by Tom Marcello Webster, New York, USA, CC BY-SA 2.0 creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0, via Wikimedia Commons   #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #DeepFocus #CraigHarris #SamRivers #MitchGoldman #JazzRadio #JazzInterview #JazzPodcast

Even learned commentators on the tarot are likely to point out at the fourteenth major arcana, Temperance, is a bit of a boring card. At least, it comes off as dull until you look at it closely, as JF and Phil do in this episode. What they find is that the Temperance card is actually a diagram, a kind of blueprint for a celestial machine that underlies human technology, beckoning us to restore even the most mechanical contraption to the raw weirdness at the source of everything.

RuPaul's Drag Race first aired on TV in 2009, but the New York City drag scene that launched RuPaul started over a century earlier.

Her career started with music. From then on, she did hundreds of commercial jingles (famously, Tillie the All-Time Teller for the first successful ATM in the US) and sang backup vocals on tour with Burt Bacharach and Roy Orbison.

She ended up doing spots for Coca-Cola, IBM, Papa John's Pizza, McDonald's, AT&T, Wendy's, Goodyear, Ford, Chiquita, etc., for both radio and TV.

In this episode of High Theory, Brian Fairley tells us about Polyphony, a concept from music that describes multiple melodic lines sounding at once. The many voices of polyphony have an ancient and colonial history, which has reappeared in some key reverberations in twentieth century criticism and theory. In the conversation, we discuss several texts, including Mikhail Bakhtin, Problems of Dostoevsky's Poetics (1929); James Clifford and George Marcus, Writing Culture The Poetics and Politics of Ethnography (UC Press, 1986); Edward Said, Culture and Imperialism (Knopf, 1993); and one of Kim's favorite scholarly books, Anna Tsing, The Mushroom at the End of the World (Princeton, 2021). Brian also discusses Denise Ferreira da Silva's work “On Difference Without Separability.” Brian Fairley received his PhD in Ethnomusicology from New York University in 2023; he is currently a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Music at Amherst College.His manuscript in progress, Dissected Listening: Race, Nation, and Polyphony in the South Caucasus, excavates a series of experimental sound recordings from 1916 to 1966 to show how the concept of musical polyphony emerged in tandem with techniques of multichannel sound and imperial discourses of racial, national, and religious difference. His work has appeared in the journal Ethnomusicology and is forthcoming in Theoria: Historical Aspects of Music Theory, as well as an edited volume titled Key Terms in Music Theory for Antiracist Scholars.

What is the best way to get respect? We find contentment in being our authentic selves when we stop comparing or competing with others. It gives us a sense of inner harmony. Though respect is not solely dependent on self-acceptance and non-comparison but also on achievements, social status, or power. People who excel in life tend to command more respect in society. Ultimately, the quest for respect is an interplay between embracing our authentic selves, fostering inner harmony, and acknowledging the importance of achievements, social status, and power. Join Steve and Dan Fouts – founders of Teach Different and twin brothers with over 50 years of teaching experience – along with Illinois State Representative Michelle Mussman,  to discuss the importance of respect, enriched by the Teach Different Method.

We're back to the Sixties again; this time, the 1360s!Before commercial travel, a pilgrimage provided tourism with a spiritual twist. A veneration vacation, so to speak.Today, people travel for spiritual reasons to Mecca, the Ganges. Jerusalem, Israel, Mount Fuji, El Camino de Santiago de Compostela,  and other destinations.  The medieval pilgrimage was deeply linked to religion, social structures, politics, health, and the economy.In this episode, we'll think about…·        Who went on pilgrimages and why?·        Travel decisions: Where to go, how to get there, what to bring with you.·        What actually happened once the destination was reached.  Was there any element of fun involved?We'll dive into the pilgrim experience by simulating a journey to the Walsingham Shrine.  Along the way, we'll better understand the medieval significance of indulgences and relics.   Photos, sources, and more at our show notes HERE.   Instagram and Threads: yesterdayslondontimespodcast Facebook: Yesterday's London Times Twitter: @YLT_PodEpisode image from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales via Wikimedia Commons.
