This week on the Third Story Podcast I follow the process of putting together a concert and lecture on jazz and modernism with my dad.

Part personal story, part philosophical inquiry, and part behind-the-scenes look at how creative work actually gets made, chronicling the process of preparing a gig with Ben Sidran. Drawing on conversations with musicians like Gil Goldstein, Howard Levy, and Jacob Collier.

Excited to be playing at Vibrato in LA this month. See you there.

On Halloween I was set to record all day but didn’t know where to get started.I then remembered anidea I had after our North St. Cab show of doing Mose Allison’s Was in a rootsy style so I cut the guitar on a ‘62 J45 and sent it to Ben.He was down to sing it!Next we serendipitously got in a tiny crack in Buzz’s schedule at Audio for the Arts the next day.This was the only possibility since Ben was leaving for the Winter on Monday!And now I have the track at my house and it turned out so beautifully 💖

Thanks from the deep of my heart to @tonyd_bass and @sergio.bellotti for the incredible week of music and joy inArlington and Boston. Thanks to the students, the professors, the staff and the audience of the Arlington High School Theatre for the warm hospitality. 🙏💫♥️ Thanks always to @groovemasteredition @ropeadope @bensidran . Special thanks to @lihisax and @plamenkaradonev for sharing my music and the stage. It was beautiful! 💫🎶♥️

Every year on his birthday, my dad and I sit down for a conversation. It started when he turned 76 and we’ve done it ever since - capturing an ongoing record of where his head and heart are at that particular moment.
.
This year, as Ben turns 82, the theme that emerges is that he is “still auditioning for the role of myself.” We talk about what it means to keep creating, to stay curious, and to hold on to your sense of fun as the outside world speeds up and your personal world contracts.

Alguns records del sensacional concert del Ben Sidran Quartet de divendres passat, que va ser una delícia i va aplegar un munt de públic meravellós.

Ambient i espectació de gran aconteixement, públic emocionat, bisos i en definitiva, una altra nit històrica al club, que no podrem oblidar.

Molt agraïts a tots els qui feu possibles aquests miracles!
