Music and the Brain - Rhythm - Jessica Grahn

Hi everyone,

This is a recent video from Jay Ingram's show, in which Dr. Jessica Grahn talks about brain and music, particularly rhythm perception. I thought you guys would be interested.

I m doing similar stuff in my research. I know Jessica personally, although don t work directly with her.

Enjoy ! If you have questions... ;=)

Cheers,

Nico

Happy Birthday Gary Burton

Born on this day in 1943, our living legend, Gary Burton.

I had the great opportunity of attending a clinic by Gary way back in my college days at Indiana State Univ. I can still remember the clinic and the evening concert that came with. A great day of wisdom and inspiration that has lasted a lifetime!

Still working on and applying the wisdom imparted. Thanks to all that you've done for so many players on all instruments not just the vibraphone.

Happy Birthday!

Afro Blue Day Five Billion

Alright...it's been two months since I posted any progress on transcribing Burton's solo on Afro Blue and I'm going to post because I need some motivation. I've been working on it on and off, but winter break and traveling for work put a big damper on getting anywhere with this.

Today I decided to record what I have. It's crazy that this is actually double the length of the last time I recorded, because I feel like I've hardly gotten anywhere, and there's still a full minute to transcribe! Aargh!!!

BUT I will soldier on, because it will all be worth it in the end!!!
