I first heard of David JP Phillips through his, now famous seminar, “How to avoid death by Powerpoint”. As an avid user of PPT I really needed to see what it was all about.
Time has passed and I cannot say if it is thanks to him, but even with my heavy use of dear old Power Point, I am still alive. So just in case, thank you…
Now, he is dealing with another favorite subject of mine. Storytelling, which to me, is a way of life.
Now, why is storytelling so powerful? And how do we use it to our advantage? This TEDxStockholm talk will give you some ideas about why it works.
Until next time

Thelonious Monk is considered to be one of the great piano geniuses of Jazz. A man with quite a few demons, he managed to compose, play and create an undenaibly personal playing style.
At 22 he became the official piano player at Milton´s in Harlem. He would jam with Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Kenny Clark and many others. Together they give birth to a new sound which would be known as BeBop.
In this concert, recorded in Denmark, we find him playing with Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), Ben Riley (drums) and Larry Gales (Base)
Until next time!

In my lectures I always mention at some point something that the great Hans Rosling has said or done.
We sadly lost him (by we, I mean humanity) in February of 2017. But his teaching and his thinking processes survive, and hopefully will do so for a long time.
For those of you who do not know of him, he was a Swedish physician, academic, statistician, and public speaker. He was the Professor of International Health at the Karolinska Institute and was also the co-founder and chairman of the Gapminder Foundation, which developed Trendalyzer software.
He has written wonderful books which have been read by, and which have inspired, millions.
To me at least, his most wonderful gift was as a statistician. And he always had something interesting to distill from information that both you and me would consider uninteresting.
As an example of his genius, here he is presenting his view that world population cannot possibly exceed 11 billion. It is a view that runs contrary to what has been generally accepted. You may agree with him or not, but it is a good exercise to let him takes us through his process.
I hope this tempts you to look for more about him.
Until next time

Jazz at the Philharmonic was a British program presented and produced by the BBC. It featured some of the world´s best and brightest Jazz musicians in a huge Jam Session.
In this episode (digitalized from an old videotape) from 1967, the line-up is incredible and worth a second and third look:
Clark Terry – James Moody -Zoot Sims -Dizzy Gillespie – Coleman Hawkins – Benny Carter – Teddy Wilson – Bob Cranshaw – Louie Bellson – T-bone Walker
Until next time!

Until next time!

Today we look at an episode of the early 60s TV show “Art Ford’s Jazz Party”.
This time focusing on the early New Orleans scene.
It features: George Lewis ~ Clarinet, Punch Miller ~ Trumpet, Alphonse Picou ~ Clarinet, Sweet Emma Barrett ~ Piano, Peter Bocage ~ Violin, Charlie Love ~ Trumpet, Louis Nelson ~ Trombone, George Guesnon ~ Banjo Slow, Drag Pavageau ~ Bass, Paul Barbarin ~ Drummer.
I must admit that of all the Jazz forms, the old fashioned New Orleans sound is a little bit brash for my taste, but this program is definitely a wonderful little gem.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Until next time!
