Juliette Jones and her partner Jarvis Benson are instrumentalists who’ve provided the string section for ‪Aretha Franklin‬’s commemoration of Nelson Mandela at the 2014 BET Honors, and creatively partnered with Red Bull Studios NY, Red Bull Studios NY, Beats by Dre, VH1 and Interscope Records. But at their core, their company Rootstock Republic is invested in a deeper legacy: building supportive spaces for string-players of color to follow in their footsteps. Juliette breaks down their vision and strategies to the #MedCab hosts and Jarvis introduces us to teaching techniques that employ “adaptable pedagogy.”

The #MedCab hosts declare David Eisenbach a punk rock politician, though he might not agree. He’s had a lifetime of practice in calling out politicians but he’s not about vigilantism. Or brunch. He’s a media and politics expert, professor at the Manhattan School of Music and Columbia University, and a 2017 New York City Public Advocate candidate. A straight historian who has taught and published books on LGBT history. A history channel show host. Informed by all the above and more plus a deep love for New York, Eisenbach is a politician who reads between the lines and aims to distill information while preserving integrity. He shares his solutions for today’s problems and the future with the #MedCab. (Spoiler alert: robots get a mention).

Episode 4: Shareef Teaches the MedCab How to Live Stream

Trumpet player Shareef Clayton understands that genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. Whether cold calling for gigs overseas, or simply showing up on the doorsteps of legends, Shareef chases talent with a shot of risk. Mentored by Mustafa, trading fours with Marsalis and basking in the aura of James Brown, Shareef surrounds himself with greatness. Listen as he reveals to the #MedCab his recipes for success and bold approach to self-promotion — and then give it a try yourself. After all, as Shareef says, what do you have to lose?

Episode 3: “F- that” and Family

J Swiss

JSWISS stands firmly in who he is: the non-drinking, non-smoking, non-cussing emcee who never hesitates to grab the mic at a cypher. When not rapping, JSWISS writes NY Times articles and -- he'll downplay the fact -- working his 9to5 at BET. Talented, intellectual and grounded, JSWISS humbled the #MedCab hosts with "awthenticity" in approaching the craft of hip hop -- and life. What's his secret? Probably having the most freakin' supportive family we've ever heard of. No seriously, they sing on stage with him. We're kind of obsessed with them.
