Talk Music Talk with boice

The upward trajectory of R&B singer/composer/producer Daniel Bazán, Jr. is undeniable. An alumnus of NYU's acclaimed Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Check! Profile in JAY Z’s Life + Times magazine. Check! Performances at SOB's and Pianos in New York City. Check! These exciting milestones are merely the evidence of hard work and talent from this Queens native. Raised in the Dominican Republic, Daniel started playing the piano at the age of eleven which led to him defining his craft in churches, schools and cultural centers before a return to his birthplace. Eventual forays into jazz and hip-hop were integral stepping stones to the artist he is today. After a recent rebranding, Daniel is crafting a new chapter that finds his music style more soulful with an underpinning of jazz chops. His recently released demo "Wrong For You" is a glorious example. In addition to music, Daniel's also a distinctive photographer with a beautifully-curated and well-respected Instagram account. Daniel Bazán, Jr. is definitely One to Watch!

Talk Music Talk Playlist:In an off-air conversation with Daniel, he discussed his admiration of jazz pianist/composer Robert Glasper. As with previous TMT guest, Indian Soul progenitor Shilpa Ananth (Episode #38: http://traffic.libsyn.com/talkmusictalk/durastar_150804b_shilpa_ananth.mp3), they both appreciate Glasper's seamless melding of jazz and soul music. This Spotify playlist was initially created for Shilpa's episode, but is being appropriately repurposed. It's a compilation of my favorite Glasper tracks from his two Black Rock projects featuring vocals from Erykah Badu, Norah Jones and more.

In addition to being a singer-songwriter, Bryan Wade has created a practice to help musicians deal with anxiety called the Connected Musician or as Bryan explains: the intersection between music and mindfulness. Some musicians are at a loss for words between songs or judge themselves harshly at band rehearsals. Whatever the case, the CM is designed to allow musicians to fully enjoy their passion for music minus the tension and self-criticism. Even if you're not a musician you'll find plenty of transferable tips that will inspire more inner peace, along with discovering Bryan's personal journey of music, mindfulness and meditation.

For more information on Bryan Wade and The Connected Musician, visit him online: http://theconnectedmusician.com/ http://bryanwade.com

Talk Music Talk Playlist/043: Twisted Mister This week's Spotify playlist, inspired by Bryan Wade's song "Voodoo Doll", which is featured on the podcast, is a tribute to wonderfully, off-kilter music by the male artist (with a female companion playlist coming soon!). Of course, my hero Frank Zappa makes the cut plus his comrade-in-oddness Captain Beefheart. Also: Daryl Hall like you rarely hear; Tom Waits with his defenses down; past TMT guest Nate Wood; a Frank Ocean epic and new music from Michael Stasis. Over 70 minutes of left of center pop. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/2ZGou55cornfqsbJXUIge6

Israeli born jazz guitarist and composer Idan Morim currently resides in New York where he recently graduated from the New School for Jazz. Prior to his move he'd been a professional musician since he was seventeen in his home country, served in their military (and band) and also toured China as a part of a theater company. Since graduation, Idan's been busy overseeing group performances as a bandleader before heading into the recording studio. Look for his debut album late 2015/early 2016.

Visit Idan Morim Online:www.facebook.com/IdanMorimMusic www.IdanMorim.com (COMING SOON)

Talk Music Talk Playlist/042: Jazz Guitar TownThis week's Spotify playlist serves as both an inspiration of Idan Morim and a stopgap until his debut is released. And how can one go wrong with this eclectic collection of stringed heavyweights. From the hard bop of Wes Montgomery to the mystic duo of Carlos Santana & John McLaughlin. Plus, my favorite guitarist Frank Zappa in full jazz-rock mode. It's a boundary-free 75 minutes of jazz guitar that cajoles and challenges. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/5qQMnPkCrSq2aTGkukNudL

Witnessing Josh Dion drumming is as equally exciting as listening to his soulful voice. Whether he's performing with other acts (including previous TMT guest Nate Wood, episode #37) or in his own band Paris Monster, Josh's unique style is a visceral experience. Along with bassist Geoff Kraly, Paris Monster is the ultimate example of musical multitasking where Josh simultaneously drums, plays keys and sings. Their debut EP, It Once Had Been Kind, sacrifices none of the thrills of their live performances with five stunning examples from your new favorite duo.

Visit Josh Dion online: http://parismonster.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Josh-Dion/105801923478

Talk Music Talk Playlist/041: Some RandomThis week's Spotify playlist might be inspired by Josh Dion and Paris Monster or it simply might be a collection of songs, new and old, that sound good keeping company with Paris Monster. A little Beck, some Hot Chip and a few other treats. Well, I'll let you decide for yourself. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/5NpaApRiqPQlF4NwbrVcOj

Brooklyn-based Songwriter/Musician/Artist Zachery Allan Starkey may find his inspiration in iconic synth touchstones like New Order & Depeche Mode but the glorious results are all his own. From working class Ohio to art-infused Bushwick, Zachery's path wasn't without challenges but it was all a set-up for his three solo albums. The most recent, 2013's DIY, was entirely performed and produced by Zachery and features the frosty new wave track "Into the Sun," inspired by the passing of his grandfather, who ignited his interest in the arts. His latest project is ZGRT, a collaboration with Rob Interface and Jo-Anne Hyun. Released April 2015, their debut single "Hard Power" was co-produced by Zachery and Gavin Russom (DFA Records, LCD Soundsystem) and is the first taste of more to come.

Talk Music Talk Playlist/039: Depeche Mode-The 80s

Zachery's music recalls the sound and spirit of new wave; so naturally I looked to one of his inspirations for this week's Spotify playlist. Depeche Mode. In particular, the period before they broke through the mainstream with 1990's Violator. This playlist is Strictly for the 80s! Nearly two hours of my favorite DM tracks all mixed up for maximum re/discovery. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/67J1HXVl4k4QfgWCDp6gHD

Shilpa Ananth, creator/bandleader of SA, tags her music Indian Soul. An amalgamation of East and West influences; an original stew consisting of Indian root melodies and lyrics with Jazz, R&B and Soul. Indian Soul is also the title of her debut and is a manifestation of a musical dream that began in India for Shilpa before moving to the States to attend Berklee College of Music in Boston and then New York City in 2014. With the release of Indian Soul under her belt, Shilpa, along with SA, is currently sharing her beautifully expansive music on tour.

Visit Shilpa and SA online: http://www.soundsofsa.com/#music-2

Talk Music Talk Playlist/038: Robert Glasper's Black Radio SamplerThis week's playlist was inspired by two influences Shilpa Ananth cited in our interview: pianist Robert Glasper who fused Jazz, R&B & hip-hop on his pair of Black Radio albums and vocalist Lalah Hathaway who is featured on both volumes. From back to front, there's an abundance of gorgeous covers and originals sung by a multitude of artists, but this playlist is all about my favorites including Erykah Badu, Brandy and more.

Multi-instrumentalist and mastering engineer Nate Wood first came to my attention through his singing and guitar playing via a live performance. In addition to his three solo albums, Nate is also the drummer in the Grammy-nominated jazz fusion group Kneebody. As Nate states, the primary difference between his solo and group are the lack of his vocals. For the complete Nate Wood, one should turn to his excellent third album, Another Time (2014), performed and recorded entirely by himself.

Nate's Another Time is undoubtedly one of the best albums of 2015 despite its 2014 release date. Hey, it's new if you haven't heard it...and you definitely should. Available on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/FTq61

Visit Nate online: http://natewoodmusic.net/

Talk Music Talk Playlist/037: The Steely Dan MixThis week's playlist was inspired by Nate Wood claiming Steely Dan as one of his childhood influences. In this TMT mixtape, their seamless blend of jazz, rock and novelistic lyrics is covered from 1972's Can't Buy A Thrill to their Grammy Album of the Year comeback, Two Against Nature. It's over two hours of my favorite SD tracks. Enjoy!

When I first interviewed jazz singer Sarah Elizabeth Charles on episode #21, she was just days away from the release of her transcendent Inner Dialogue album. How fitting that my first repeat guest and I speak on the eve of her debut headlining performance at NYC's Blue Note with her S.E. Charles Quartet. In this mini-episode, we catch up on the time in between our conversations and discuss what she has planned for the future.

Listen to our first conversation: http://traffic.libsyn.com/talkmusictalk/durastar_150324_sarah_charles.mp3

Harlem born and bred singer/songwriter/performer Dandy Wellington is both a delight to the eyes and ears. His seamless integration of music and style files him into that rarefied club of the Björks, Bowies and Madonnas. What makes him even more unique is that his taste harks back to the golden era of big band jazz artists such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Columbia-era Billie Holiday but with a modern Dandy-twist. His new album Harlem Rhythm is a prime example of his inspired originals and a redux of a classic 60s chestnut. Dandy's live shows are not to be missed where his thrilling performances are a highlight of the New York scene featuring His Band in accompaniment. On a stage or through your speakers, Dandy Wellington is a consummate experience.

Visit him online: http://www.dandywellington.com/index.html

Talk Music Talk Playlist/035: The Dandy Wellington ExperienceThis week's Talk Music Talk Spotify playlist features classic big band music as inspired by Dandy Wellington. From Duke to Billie and of course a Harlem Rhythm song from Dandy himself. Enjoy! http://open.spotify.com/user/therattlecat/playlist/0P3sYRs4DCEAoddOdff060
