I subscribe to Ted on substack. I highly recommend it. I also read his book, “How to Listen to Jazz”. It is very good as an introduction to what makes jazz what it is.
Paywall…
Ah, sorry. He’s good though. Got onto him via my brother, and recently Cookie sent me one of his pieces and wrote, “He’s sort of replacing Bob Lefsetz as the guru to the music execs in mainstream.”
I had not heard of his struggles.
I have tickets to see him in March 2023 conduct works from Schubert.
More power to him!
I was completely ignorant of Charles Stepney until I read this. I then went to Amazon to check out some Rotary Connection CD’s and got a severe case of sticker shock.
I have several of his Soulful Strings recordings which I really like. Rotary Connection was a great band. One of a kind musical visionary.
excellent listen, something i’ve thought about a lot (ever since reading the Oxford Companion to Music article on equal temperament) 
no technical detail (“cent” is not mentioned once, for example) but an interesting overview nonetheless.
Some laugh out loud stuff in this article. Have to get the book.
RIP Ramsey Lewis
…the wildly eclectic musical mélange making its way through the radio airwaves that summer of '65, …
I can still hear that eclectic mix, hanging out with my friend as we listened to his pocket-sized Sony transistor AM radio. A marvel of technology back in those days.
RIP Ramsey …
A company convinced shareholders to invest in something as fickle as human nature and items considered as disposable income purchases during a global pandemic when people were home and bored and now they are concerned?
Sigh…
While going down the “rabbit hole” of curiosity, I came upon this interesting article in the Village Voice from ten years ago about Philip Glass.

The latest Ted Gioia article on substack is thought-provoking. I think he is on to something.

Not an article, but a seminar lecture seminar given by an Assoc. Professor at Queensland Univ in Australia. He does a mind-numbing analysis of the demand for the resources that will be required to fulfill the switch to renewable energy. It runs over an hour, including the Q&A at the end, but the talk itself is 50 minutes and fascinating.
Notable (to me, at least) because it’s the first rigorous analysis on the topic I’ve seen.
I’m going long the mining industry
