KZYX: Be More Now with Blake More

Tune into KZYX&Z’s Be More Now program at 7pm on Thursday, March 3 when host Blake More will interview Mendocino County’s very own Jazz scholar and producer Fred Adler. They will be discussing his lifelong love of Jazz and specifically the peace and presence of John Coltrane with a special tribute to his musical legacy. 

A resident of the Gualala coast since 1995, Fred Adler has been a friend and mentor for me since we first met in the late 90s. For the past 18 years, he has coordinated the Redwood Whale and Jazz Festival on the South Coast of Mendocino. He also hosted “Sunday Evening Jazz” once a month for 25 years on kzyx and now he hosts the Music of Page and Screen from 1-3 on the first sat of the month here on KZYX. He also hosted a popular jazz show called Wednesday Night Jazz, plus Sunday Musical Journey and a weekly Coastal Interviews show for over 20 yaers on KTDE FM Gualala.  Needless to say, Fred knows a lot about Jazz.  I hope you enjoy and learn from this conversation as much as I did.  

Tune into KZYX&Z’s Be More Now program as Blake More interviews vibrational science pioneer Don Estes. They discuss his lifelong quest to develop methods and practices to use sound, light and vibration technologies rather than psychedelics to access non-ordinary states of mind.

Don Estes currently serves a CEO and Director of InnerSense Inc., and Psiometric Science, Inc. He is a certified medical technologist, laboratory director and neuroscientist. He has lectured worldwide on sensory science and vibrational medicine, appearing on CNN, NBC, ABC, Entertainment Tonight, Science Frontiers, the Discovery Channel and Next Step, which won an Emmy award in 1994.
His work has been featured in Wired, Computer Design, Los Angeles Magazine and in national and international media. Estes’ book Harmonic Law: The Science of Vibration, illustrated by a large wall chart entitled the Absolute Scale of Relative Cosmic Reality, is one of the most complete compendiums of scientific and philosophical knowledge assembled.

Estes is the inventor of VibraSound® Sensory Resonance™ technologies, used by both professionals and nonprofessionals for music, sound therapy, relaxation, entertainment and expanded states of mind. His theories include proprietary knowledge and patents in the fields of light, color, sound, music and algorithmic automata.

In addition to being a consultant to rejuvenation retreats, day spas, mind spas, medical professionals and entertainment facilities worldwide, Estes designed, built and operated three award-winning facilities: InnerSpace™, MindWave™ and the Aha! Spa™.
Since 2001 his company, InnerSense, has partnered with Psiometrics in Glastonbury, England. Together they have pioneered a new science of universal automata, which defines the physical and mental mechanisms behind the manifestation of intention. They have also designed and constructed a world-class supercomputer that can render a model of any reality in a formal mathematical language. Their work is patent pending.

Don currently lives the Aha! experience on a daily basis with his wife and two children in the Santa Monica Mountains of Los Angeles.
