  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.

  Music and Technology - A Very...

  Mark Katz

  This Very Short Introduction takes an expansive and inclusive approach meant to broaden and challenge traditional views of music and technology. In its most common use, "music technology" tends to evoke images of twentieth and twenty-first century electronic devices: synthesizers, recording equipment, music notation software, and the like. This volume, however, treats all tools used to create, store, reproduce, and transmit music—new or old, electronic or not—as technologies worthy of investigation. 
   
   
   
  In this broad view, technology in music encompasses instruments, whether acoustic, electric or electronic; engraving and printing; sound recording and playback; broadcasting; software; and much more. Mark Katz challenges the view that technology is unnatural, something external to music. It was sometimes said in the early twentieth century that so-called mechanical music (especially player pianos and phonographs) was a menace to "real" music; alternatively, technology can be freighted with utopian hopes and desires, as happens today with music streaming platforms like Spotify. Positive or negative, these views assume that technology is something that acts upon music; by contrast, this volume characterizes technology as an integral part of all musical activity and portrays traditional instruments and electronic machines as equally technological.
