  Richie and Mike provide direct practical guidance on the skills and knowledge necessary for jazz to be passed on and performed well. The conversational tone of the book makes for entertaining and worthwhile reading. Those who have been teaching jazz for a long time will appreciate Richie's stories and his fearless opinions on jazz including how the teaching and learning of it are evolving (for good and for bad). 
  For readers new to teaching, they will gain a perspective and perhaps some greater insight into jazz education that your students want from you and benefit from. 
  Justin DiCioccio of the Manhattan School of Music called it the best book on jazz education he's ever read. Why?Because of the stories that will capture student's attention on things like the art of jazz time (swing), dynamics, 'wrong' notes, the right amount of notes, and how the masters think about musicA view of what can and cannot be taught in the process of making students better jazz playersHow to be more motivating and effective with studentsA candid and pointed review of the film, Whiplash, and what it teaches us to defend against in our roles as jazz educatorsFly on the wall insight into one of Richie's most inspired trio recordings with George Mraz and Al Foster. 
  Students of jazz will appreciate:How to choose the right school for one's personal needs and ambitionsMany of the skills that musicians need in order to be successful that are not taught in the classroomHow best to use some of the more popular digital tools for learning and practicing jazzRichie's telling of the blow-by-blow experience of group interaction while recording the Tune "Nardis" with George Mraz and Al Foster 
  A chapter is dedicated to a review of the movie Whiplash, a film about a college jazz gig band led by a tyrannical conductor played by J.K. Simmons.

  The Things I Came Here With - A...

  “Does it hurt?” When you’re a tattoo artist, that’s the most universal question. For Chris MacDonald, the answer is simple: hurts less than a broken heart. Those words are painted above the entrance to his shop, Under My Thumb Tattoos, as a reminder.
  		 
  Chris and his brothers were as wild as the wind, in their house among the fields of Alliston, Ontario, when their parents divorced. Shell-shocked, they were uprooted and brought to Toronto by their dad. Their mother’s mental illness worsened in the aftermath, and she disappeared. As a teenager, Chris left home and found himself immersed in the city’s underbelly, a world where drugs, skateboarding, and punk rock reigned. Between the youth shelters, suicidal thoughts, and haunted apartments, a light shined: and it was art.
  		 
  He eventually found himself following the path of his brother, Rob, and pursuing life as a tattooist. Then, at the height of a destructive summer, everything changed: he met Megan, the girl who would become his rock of ages.
  		 
  This remarkable memoir examines what tattooing means to MacDonald and traces the connection his artistic motives have to both his family and childhood. The Things I Came Here With is about how crucial our past is to understanding our future, but it’s also a love letter to his daughter about the importance of expression, life’s uncertainty, and beauty.

  The Adam Lectures on...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. The neoclassical interior represents one of the most enduring and influential movements in the history of decorative arts. Born from the Age of Enlightenment's fascination with classical antiquity, this design philosophy emerged in the mid-eighteenth century as a reaction against the ornate excesses of the Baroque and Rococo periods. The movement found its greatest expression through the work of Robert Adam and his brothers, who revolutionized interior design by creating spaces that balanced grandeur with restraint, luxury with intellectual rigor. 
   
  Understanding neoclassical interiors requires us to first examine the cultural and philosophical currents that gave birth to this aesthetic revolution. The eighteenth century witnessed an unprecedented interest in archaeological discovery, fueled by the excavations at Pompeii and Herculaneum beginning in 1738. These revelations of ancient Roman domestic life provided designers with authentic source material that had been lost for centuries. The Grand Tour, undertaken by wealthy young Europeans, further disseminated knowledge of classical architecture and decoration, creating a generation of patrons who demanded interiors that reflected their sophisticated understanding of antiquity. 
   
  The neoclassical movement represented more than mere aesthetic preference; it embodied the Enlightenment's core values of reason, order, and moral virtue. Classical antiquity was viewed not simply as a source of beautiful forms, but as a repository of timeless principles that could guide contemporary society toward perfection. This philosophical underpinning gave neoclassical interiors their distinctive character, combining visual beauty with intellectual depth in ways that purely decorative styles could not match.
