A podcast introducing aspiring Jazz Pianists to essential Jazz Piano Skills. Professional Jazz Piano Lessons by Dr. Bob Lawrence, President The Dallas School of Music

Jazz – für viele ein Zauberwort, für manche vielleicht eine Drohung. Ein vielfach missbrauchtes Wort, nicht nur in unseren Tagen. Ein Sammelbegriff, unter dem man sich sehr Verschiedenes vorstellen kann: rhythmische Tanzmusik, wilde Klänge aus den schwarzen Ghettos amerikanischer Großstädte, fröhlichen Sound an einem warmen Sommerabend, coole Atmosphäre an der Bar zu später Stunde, laszive Begleitmusik zu schwüler Erotik, ausgeflippten Sound für schräge Typen, aber auch hochkonzentrierte Kammermusik für intellektuelle Ansprüche.

Jazz is a uniquely American art form, one of America's great contributions to not only musical culture, but world culture, with each generation of musicians applying new levels of creativity that take the music in unexpected directions that defy definition, category, and stagnation.

Now you can learn the basics and history of this intoxicating genre in an eight-lecture series that is as free-flowing and original as the art form itself.

More than 50 years ago, John Coltrane drew the 12 musical notes in a circle and connected them with straight lines, forming a five-pointed star. Inspired by Einstein, Coltrane had put physics and geometry at the core of his music. Physicist and jazz musician Stephon Alexander returns the favor, using jazz to answer physics' most vexing questions about the past and future of the universe.

Trompeten und Posaunen, nicht exakt der Tonleiter zuordenbare „Blue notes“ – alles was in der sogenannten „klassischen“ Musik verpönt ist, ist im Jazz gang und gäbe. Doch da gibt es ein Instrument, auf das all das nicht zutrifft. Das Klavier mit seinen 88 Tasten in unveränderbarer Tonhöhe und Tonqualität dürfte eigentlich in der Jazzgeschichte gar keine Rolle spielen. Noch dazu, wo es im frühen New Orleans Jazz, als die Bands durch die Straßen zogen und an den belebten Plätzen der Stadt ihre „cutting contests“ austrugen, aus verständlichen Gründen nicht einsetzbar war.

New Orleans, um die Wende zum 20. Jahrhundert der Schmelztiegel unterschiedlicher Kulturen im Südosten der Vereinigten Staaten, gilt einigermaßen unbestritten als der Geburtsort eines neuartigen Musikstils, der sich später unter der Bezeichnung Jazz in den USA verbreitete und in seinen mannigfaltigen Formen die zivilisierte Welt eroberte. Man muss allerdings unterscheiden: zwischen dem Entstehungsort – der ist in weiten Teilen der Südstaaten anzusiedeln – und dem Geburtsort, wo die neue Musik zum ersten Mal an die Öffentlichkeit gelangte.

1959 saw Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Bill Evans, and the other members of Miles's sextet come together to record the seminal jazz album of all time Kind of Blue. 3 Shades of Blue is a magnificent blended biography on the meandering paths which led Miles, Coltrane and Evans to the mountaintop of 1959 and the aftermath. It's a book about music, business, race, addiction and the cities that gave jazz its home; from New York and LA to Philadelphia, Chicago and Kansas City. Kaplan meditates on creativity and the great forebears of this golden age who would take the music down strange new paths.

The drum kit has provided the pulse of popular music from before the dawn of jazz up to the present day pop charts. Kick It, a provocative social history of the instrument, looks closely at key innovators in the development of the drum kit: inventors and manufacturers like the Ludwig and Zildjian dynasties, jazz icons like Gene Krupa and Max Roach, rock stars from Ringo Starr to Keith Moon, and popular artists who haven't always got their dues as drummers, such as Karen Carpenter and J Dilla.

At the height of the ideological antagonism of the Cold War, the US State Department unleashed an unexpected tool in its battle against Communism: jazz. From 1956 through the late 1970s, America dispatched its finest jazz musicians to the far corners of the earth, from Iraq to India, from the Congo to the Soviet Union, in order to win the hearts and minds of the Third World and to counter perceptions of American racism.
