Unit 3 in my textbook might be worth a gander
Ben's video article is SMT-V at its finest! Watch if you enjoy jazz, music theory, lucid and persuasive interpretation of what musicians do in real time ... it's just great!
Thank you, Chris!
Really happy to see this video article published. Thanks to @theorymeg.bsky.social for her incredible feedback and encouragement throughout!
This is public-facing scholarship but I still wanted to raise some serious questions about the way jazz theory is done. I hope you enjoy it!
I'm thinking of referencing the data he's collected about tunes called at jam sessions but it would be great if I could ask him a couple of questions about it.
I'm trying to get in touch with David Miller, a saxophonist based in London who developed standardrepertoire.com. Is there anyone who could by any chance facilitate an introduction or share contact information?
If this is how the SEC refs are going to treat UK, UK should go to another conference. Money talks.

I haven't listened to the Miles Davis second quintet in a while (big mistake). Sometimes you start to think, could it really be as good as what I remember of it? Listening to ESP and the answer is, yes, it's that good, it's as good as any music ever made.
That’s an acceptable answer
It looks great!
Recently discovered that the easiest way to add a table in Word is to type it out with tabs to separate columns, select it, and choose "convert text to table"... in case that will add years onto anyone else's life.

Six years ago today, the Institute for Composer Diversity was launched, and in celebration of its birthday, we're (finally) launching our Chamber Database! 16K+ total works with 9K+ by women composers and 8.7K+ by composers of color and searchable by over 200 instruments…Enjoy!
I love the score but I can’t stop acting like those three-note piano arpeggios are ear training exercises.
The nature of labels and categories. I don’t know, like I said, galaxy brain.
It mostly happens to me when I’m prepping before the semester. So detrimental to a to do list.
Why do I always get galaxy brain over things like "what is a scale degree" and "when is a note an object, element, class, or type?"
Come on, Geyer, it's a 2-day review of fundamentals 🤦♂️
Deep thanks to David Adler at JazzTimes for including my album in this round-up of releases from January.
"There’s a restraint at work, a gentleness of timbre, even when the improvisation heats up and a groove starts to kick in."

(1/3) Here are some clips from our workshop sessions this past weekend for Speaking Towards One Another, using wearable tech to generate sound with sign language! Here, Yuki is triggering sound as she completes the sign for "chain".
Yeah I’m in the yuck camp too. Maybe not universally, but the guy who used it was a podcast bro so that didn’t help.
I've heard creative as a noun for a person, obviously, but I just heard it used as a noun for creative products. As in, "what was your approach to the creative?"
I have so many handwritten graphics like this. It’s so satisfying somehow.
Highly recommend this reflective essay from Temple Prof. Seth Bruggeman. It captures the central challenge of teaching today in a system that over time has become entirely transactional, and then suddenly technology that could satisfy the transaction arrived. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/view...
Really grateful to Chris Ingalls at PopMatters @popmatters.bsky.social for reviewing my latest album.
"An unsettling and revelatory work, a sort of “alternate universe” chamber jazz album."

It was your eyes that saw the colour, your brain that interpreted it, your heart that felt its beauty.
You didn't love it because they're the Blue Artist, but because you were always a person who could love the sky. 4/
That’s great, happy to hear it!

This is a super cool visualization of song popularity over time but there’s no explanation of where they get the numbers. Does anyone know how this would work?
