In this portion of Jazz at 100, we are featuring tenor players and trumpeters who propelled hard bop into the 1960s. In this hour, we will continue with the Trumpet Players, Part 1, featuring three players who apprenticed in the Jazz Messengers: Lee Morgan - a Blue Note leader since 1956, Freddie Hubbard – who made his debut as a leader (also for Blue Note) in 1960 and Donald Byrd who recorded with everyone from Horace Silver to John Coltrane before becoming leader for Blue Note in 1958.

Cake Work. With #MeToo Challenges, Baking Triumphs, and Spirituality. Does baking have a spiritual side? We explore this topic among others in Episode 99. Although anxiety-inducing for some, baking can actually be a way to calm yourself down and conquer your demons. Welcome to my conversation with Rachel Greenberg Willis of Cakes By Rachel!

As is the story of so many bakers, Rachel got her start when a friend asked her to make a wedding cake. She'd made her own as well as some for Clifton Inn, so why not? It was while in the depths of designing that Rachel found her niche. Here was a place where she could do what she loved while at the same time expressing herself, using that artistic side that needed to come out, the side that was tired of making beef tenderloin the same way night after night after night. Here was where she could shine.

Is it hard to find qualified bakers in Charlottesville? What is Rachel's hiring process? Often folks think baking is a Pinterest board full of quaint cake stands and baby blue mixing bowls with artful poofs of flour lovingly placed on aprons and faces. This is real work guys. You will go home smelling like old cake batter and milk. Your feet, back, and arms will ache. You will need comfortable old-lady shoes. And your apron will look like it's been through the wringer. This. Is. Hard. Work. Dishpan hands come with the territory.

And what about that spiritual side to baking anyhow? Can it be a mental meditation? What do you do if you're anxious about flour? We delve into the philosophical and mental aspects and how raising a rare breed of sheep on the farm she shares with her husband helped calm her down when it comes to challenges.

We're just two crones talking about our diminishing energy levels and how all of the above fits into our personal and professional lives. A great conversation no matter what your age. Because everyone loves cake. Someone give me a fork...

In this portion of Jazz at 100, we are featuring tenor players and trumpeters who propelled hard bop into the 1960s.

Self-Sabotage Work. Or Why Would You Knowingly, Purposefully Jeopardize Success? We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming to bring you a semi-regular segment here at Edacious. A segment where I rant about a food topic so much on my mind, it warrants its own episode. Welcome to self-sabotage folks. And yes, it does relate to food. Very well in fact.

What is self-sabotage? Why does it happen? What can you do about it? How did depression and self-doubt cause my most recent bout with this annoying occurrence which unfortunately occurs fairly often? How did I cure my most recent bout? Have you experienced this? What did you do? I'd love to hear about it because I have a feeling most of us do this subconsciously on a regular basis, cutting ourselves off at the knee symbolically because somehow we feel we've gotten "too big for our britches". 

In future episodes, I hope to discuss other topics like tipping, reservations, even what makes a great pizza. May you never experience what I just did. And if you do, may your resolve to overcome it be strong. And edacious. Cheers!

Over the next four hours of Jazz at 100, we’ll be featuring tenor players and trumpeters who propelled hard bop into the 1960s. In this hour, we will start with tenor players JR Monterose, LA-based Harold Land and Teddy Edwards, and Blue Note’s most prolific player Hank Mobley.

Claire Raymond is an author and lecturer in the McIntire Department of Art at the University of Virginia.

Despite revisionist history that suggests that the energy of hard bop was spent by the time the sixties came, in the last hour we heard from the great 1960s Freddie Hubbard – Wayne Shorter – Curtis Fuller – Cedar Walton edition of The Jazz Messengers. In this hour of Jazz at 100, we will turn to Horace Silver’s terrific 1960s quintets, featuring trumpeters Blue Mitchell, Carmel Jones and Woody Shaw; tenor players Junior Cook and Joe Henderson and guest trombonist – the veteran – JJ Johnson. The two flagship ensembles of hard bop were alive and well in the 1960s.
