Southeastern Philosophy: Jason Isbell Opens Up About Alabama, Adulthood and Alcoholism
Jason Isbell doesn’t mince words while discussing his battle with the bottle. “Man, I’m an alcoholic,” the Alabama singer-songwriter said of his addiction that involved a dangerously close friendship with Mr. Jack Daniel’s. Isbell laughed, yet knows there’s nothing funny about the damage he caused. Sober since February 2012 right around his 33rd birthday, the thinking-man’s rocker with a soulful sound and a few folk-them-all tendencies hopes that positive turn means he’s not kidding around. In a confluence of events on his way to adulthood, the former guitarist and valuable member of the Drive-By Truckers seemed relaxed talking on the phone from his Nashville home about his progression. Isbell finished the album in late February, the day before his wedding to Amanda Shires, another stirring singer-songwriter whose fabulous touch on the fiddle makes her a true triple threat. Asked what effect these recent changes have had on him, Isbell said, “You know what, I think it’s too soon to tell.

David Byrne on How Music and Creativity Work
by Maria Popova “Presuming that there is such a thing as ‘progress’ when it comes to music is typical of the high self-regard of those who live in the present. It is a myth. Creativity doesn’t ‘improve.’” Great times and tall deeds for David Byrne this week: First his fantastic collaborative album with St. Among the book’s most fascinating insights is a counterintuitive model for how creativity works, from a chapter titled “Creation in Reverse” — a kind of reformulation of McLuhan’s famous aphorism “the medium is the message” into a somewhat less pedantic but no less purposeful “the medium shapes the message”: I had an extremely slow-dawning insight about creation. Byrne gives a number of examples from the history of music that illustrate this contextually-driven creation and what it reveals about the nature of creativity: He turns to nature for confirmation of this model: The adaptive aspect of creativity isn’t limited to musicians and composers (or artists in any other media).

Getting jazz ears | Developing a vivid aural imagination
The extent to which your aural imagination is developed, largely determines: the quality of lines you play, how you play those lines (articulation, swing feel, inflection), and the sound you play with. Nothing has such an impact on your playing than your aural imagination. If there were a secret to improvising, developing your aural imagination would be it. Ok, ok. I didn’t say oral imagination. When we go to improvise, we draw from a well of knowledge. The way we hear is the most neglected aspect of practicing improvisation. We all hear differently. Hear and sing intervalsHear and sing specific chord tones while a chord plays in the backgroundHear and sing the roots of a progressionHear a line from a recording and retain it. And the list goes on. Be excited. As you can see from the list above, good jazz ears are a lot more than simply being able to recognize intervals and chord qualities, although that is a small piece of the puzzle. Raising the volume in your head Back to retention.
