Music Recording Engineer Gary Lux, who has won Emmy awards for his work with The Jacksons and Frank Sinatra. Gary is one of Hollywood’s premier music mixers. In this interview after the recording session he commented that he “nearly fainted” when Sophie started singing because he was not expecting such a Big Voice to come from such a small person.

The Secret to Some of Miles Davis’ Best Recordings? No Rehearsal. | American Masters | PBS

How many musicians do you know that can freestyle a studio session? When creating the score to Elevator to the Gallows, Miles Davis and his musicians created the music as they watched the film and let their emotions guide them. How extraordinary?

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/americanmasters/the-secret-to-some-of-miles-davis-best-recordings-no-rehearsal/12439/

While in Paris in 1957, Miles Davis was invited by the great French film director Louis Malle to score his new film, Elevator to the Gallows.

The role of temporal fluctuations for the swing feel in jazz music

Swing has been a style for 90 years, but did you know that there is no clear definition of what classifies certain music as such? What are some songs that give you "Swing vibes"?

https://phys.org/news/2020-01-role-temporal-fluctuations-jazz-music.html

In 1931, Duke Ellington and Irving Mills dedicated a song to the phenomenon of swing, which they called "It Don't Mean a Thing, If It Ain't Got That Swing." Yet, to this day, the question of what, exactly, makes a jazz performance swing has not really been clarified. A team drawn from the Max Planck...
