Time to practice the #trumpet and #read the next 10% of my current book!

@svenja I would never think I could play one either; I’ve always struggled even with regular flutes. I just love listening to them so much.

@julian hey! Nice to meet you!

In this clip from The Tonearm Podcast, saxophonist Ben Wendel describes the moment he walked toward the Village Vanguard stage for the first time as a bandleader and how fear dissolved into what he calls a lifting, supportive energy, as if the accumulated history of the room was urging him forward.Don't miss the full conversation on the latest episode of our podcast: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/ben-wendel-assembling-the-mallet-avengers-barcode-saxophone/#VillageVanguard #Jazztodon #Saxophone #Podcast #Jazz

@julian Pete's piece is called Shadow Song, and Stetner's is a three-movement thing, but not sure if there's an overarching name. The movements are called: The Sabre and The Quill, The Sword and The Feather, The Scimitar's Feather.

Today’s workday: taught a couple Alexander technique students. Then practised some (about a million it felt like) hymns for a church service next Sunday. In Dutch. Then a recorder lesson and one more AT-lesson. After dinner rushed through two parts of Mozart op35 on bassoon, just before the recorder group arrived to practise for tomorrow’s students’ concert. It was not a boring day! #music #recorder #bassoon #musicians

This morning's #workout #music is from Joy Guidry showing how to make an elevator, some laptop #ambient electronics, #drumMachine and #Bassoon into an amazing performance. Unique. https://youtu.be/iLg1TuWAkwk#WomenInMusic #beats #electroAcoustic #Bassoon #techno #KettleBells

@proseandpassion@mastodon.social nice! Best of luck!

The Golden Flute is an album by American jazz multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef, recorded in 1966 for the Impulse! label.The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Lateef has long been a true original, and he revitalizes the standards while always swinging and being a bit unpredictable. Well worth searching for" - Wikipediahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AFWNr8xjbg&list=OLAK5uy_kGkXu-q6Y-SMvCQcndUS8eKYAQHW0S9hE#YusefLateef #JazzFlute #Oboe #Jazz #ImpulseRecords #Music

@ratatosk 10 minutes in… this is another real gem! Sounds good as well. Thank you for the rec!

Oh Yes Dear God 1 800 GO F*CK YOURSELF Dept :Greg Koch : Why I’m Not Sorry For Playing Loudhttps://youtu.be/tVusa22kiZ4?si=akztz5IBHyR66ov1 Was That Too Much ? Well there ya go. Funny thing is chances are your not going to be able to handle a live #Orchestra either. They can and often do tear heads off. You won’t find them apologizing

@greyduck @mcc it is, more than once, eg: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ybmWeb90Kvc&pp=ygULMTJ0b25lIGtleXM%3D

Freddie Hill was a good #jazz #trumpet player. Tone along the K.D. vector, but fuller. Not much out there with him soloing, but this is.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKcvcwwvFGk

Agreed to fill in in a community orchestra nearby for a concert end of May. I’m glad they’re not doing this movement in pro-orchestra tempo because it’s brutal enough to practise as it is. Combining playing bassoon and singing in the same day is somewhat challenging it turns out. For singing my face, tongue and throat have to as free as possible. Bassoon playing tends to cause all kinds of little tensions to creep in. #music #bassoon #singing #voice #orchestra

In this excerpt from the new episode of The Tonearm Podcast, saxophonist Ben Wendel explains how he built the BaRcoDe ensemble by consulting vibraphonist Joel Ross, generating a list of about fifteen players, and then selecting four whose approaches were distinct enough to give him the widest possible palette—describing the goal as assembling the "Avengers of Mallet Players."Be sure to listen to the entire conversation: https://podcast.thetonearm.com/ben-wendel-assembling-the-mallet-avengers-barcode-saxophone/#Saxophone #Vibraphone #JazzMusic #Jazztodon #Podcast

@chad These things are so fun. I took my boyfriend, who doesn't really get symphonic music, to a version of this with Into the Spider-Verse (again, a movie we already know and love) and he had such a good time with it.

Lateef at Cranbrook (also reissued as Yusef Lateef) is a live album by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef recorded in 1958 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and released on the Argo label.A rare treasure from Yusef Lateef -- one of his hardest to find albums, recorded right around the same time as his magical work for Savoy! The record has Lateef playing in his local Detroit area -- working with Terry Pollard on piano, William Austin on bass, and Frank Gant on a host of percussion instruments. The tracks have that open, percussive, and exotic feel that we love the most in Lateef -- soul jazz taken to a very righteous territory, and one of the first powerful flowerings of the Detroit underground. Includes a really long version of "Morning", plus "Let Every Soul Say Amen", "Brazil", and "Woody N You" - Dusty Groovehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpIEqSK_0YU#YusefLateef #JazzFlute #oboe #argol #Jazz #WorldMusic #Music

Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after a walk with Skies of America the 17th album by jazz saxophonist Ornette Coleman, released on Columbia Records in 1972.....Coleman took a sabbatical to Montana in 1965. Coleman witnessed a group of Native Americans and it inspired him. "It was so cold," he said of that time in Montana. "It must have been 2 or 3 below zero, and when I saw the American Indians praying, doing their purity ritual, they looked like their bodies were transparent. All of a sudden, I saw the American Indian and the sky as the same people. It taught me something about religion, race, wealth, poverty, commerce. I said: 'Oh, I'm going to go over to the other side. I only want to be on the side of the consciousness that comes to people naturally.'" - Wikipediahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4Qi9UzQt9M#OrnetteColeman #ThirdStream #Jazz #Music #Orchestra #LondonSymphonyOrchestra #NativeAmericans #AvantGarde
