Jacob Reed and Me

The Musician

Jacob always wanted to be a Jazz musician, but quit music as a teen. To rekindle his dream, he tracks down jazz drummer Jacob Reed to rediscover the path not taken. But one Jacob Reed in music turns out to be just the beginning. Extra special thanks to The Baked Potato and The Blue Note for hosting us. Two of the world’s best jazz venues, both totally different, both in Los Angeles. https://www.thebakedpotato.com/ [https://www.thebakedpotato.com/] https://www.bluenotejazz.com/la/shows/ [https://www.bluenotejazz.com/la/shows/] Here’s some of the cool stuff we talk about in the episode (spoilers!) something to believe - Philip Labes (Official Music Video) [https://youtu.be/q8UGU5GdT84?si=Flkl36xrkI2IUFpJ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8UGU5GdT84 Listen to San Diego’s Jazz 88 on Live Stream: https://www.jazz88.org/ A Tetrahelix Animates Bach: Revisualization of David Lewin’s Analysis of the Opening of the F Minor Fugue from WTC I - Jacob Rosenthal Reed and Matthew Neil Bain [https://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.07.13.4/mto.07.13.4.reed_bain.php] https://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.07.13.4/mto.07.13.4.reed_bain.php And, the specific animation I’m reacting to: https://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.07.13.4/reed_bain_examples.php?id=15&nonav=true [https://www.mtosmt.org/issues/mto.07.13.4/reed_bain_examples.php?id=15&nonav=true] Columbus Percussion https://www.columbuspercussion.com/store/ Jacob Reed and Me LIVE Variety Show, featuring Matt LeBlanc, Julia Roberts, Amy Adams, and the Jake Reed Quartet: More music from Jacob Reed: Jake Reed Drum Samples Packs [https://jakereedmusic.com/store] https://jakereedmusic.com/store Shades of Ellington - Laura Camara & The Jake Reed Trio [https://lauracamaraandthejakereedtrio.bandcamp.com/album/shades-of-ellington] https://lauracamaraandthejakereedtrio.bandcamp.com/album/shades-of-ellington Weed ‘em and Reap - Frog Legs [https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/froglegs/weed-em-and-reap-2] https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/froglegs/weed-em-and-reap-2 ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
