Clan Of Xymox - Mysterium

My journey from Berklee's hallowed halls to the vibrant world of jazz has been an odyssey of discovery, with the blues serving as my guiding light. The intertwining of these genres is not just a historical footnote but a living testament to the evolution of American music. The blues, with its emotive simplicity and authentic storytelling, remains the beating heart that fuels the intricate dance of jazz... musical education is not just about mastering technicalities, it's about embracing the emotional depth that resonates through every note. The blues taught me to listen with my heart, respond with intuition, and let the music unfold organically. It became the bridge connecting past and present, tradition and innovation.

So, with immense gratitude for the educators, mentors, and the rich musical legacy they shared, I carry the spirit of the blues into every improvisation. As a jazz enthusiast, I understand that the blues isn't just a genre, it's a foundational language, a common thread weaving through the vast tapestry of jazz. This harmonious affair between blues and jazz is an eternal melody, and as I continue to navigate the ever evolving landscape of music, I do so with the soulful resonance of the blues guiding my every note.

Veronica Swift - A Little Taste

There has always been an uncomfortable tension between rhythm and blues and rock and roll, a cyclical influence that vacillates between inspiration, appropriation and separation. Popular music has broken off into categories of rock, pop, country, and R&B, each with their own origin stories. But R&B and rock, usually codified as vastly different, Black and white styles, have long been intertwined in ways our historical memory may have us forget.  Despite the innovation that comes from separation, rock and R&B always find their way back to each other. In recent years, rock veterans have turned to the genre’s classics for inspiration. Queens of the Stone Age veered from their typical hard rock with 2017’s Villains, a dance y album inspired by frontman Josh Homme’s love of 1920s jazz and swing, other Black genres that laid the groundwork for the popular music of today. The whitewashing of rock’s history has oversimplified music’s malleability and silenced the voices of Amer...

Moondog - Behold

The history of jazz has been one of fusion. Its musicians and composers have continually drawn upon a huge range of different musics to create the rich and diverse tapestry that is world jazz today. Jazz is an evolving tradition of music making. And how often, in the life stories of individual jazz musicians, do we see these same patterns operating at microcosm? The richness of Turkish music and culture sometimes seems at odds with its turbulent and cruel history. In 1979... the country suffered its third military take over in thirty years... Every kind of music was in Turkey at that point. But it was not appreciated. To understand the culture of the country, with those three military takeovers, Turkey could not go anywhere. Musically, it was very difficult. But things were beginning to happen. Traditional Turkish music is essentially monophonic, rich in melody and rhythm but with little by way of harmony. The contrast with western music, with its beautiful harmonies but rhythmic weakn...
