Today my friend Landon Knoblock gave a film scoring masterclass for my media writing students. Landon has written for some great streaming shows on Apple TV like Franklin and Servant. Always really cool to get a look behind the scenes. #tvmusic #filmscoring

Currently orchestrating Howard Levy’s handwritten concerto using Dorico and realized that I am like Kratos dealing with his Greek past in God of War, but with notes. (“Roguelike” returning Greek dance sections in 7/8 time—and yes I am 1/4 Greek). #godofwar #kratos #greekmusic #classicalsky

Had a great time playing on my trombone colleague Chris van Hof's Faculty Artist Recital yesterday! Also joining me was my regular trio drummer Cassius Goens III. Among the tunes was a pretty hip arrangement of Stevie Wonder's "I Wish" done salsa style with montunos throughout. #jazzsky #jazzpiano

This checks out (average 2.5 IQ increase). But the article doesn’t mention what types of games the children were playing. I’d be willing to bet they involved puzzles; for example, the improvisational 3D puzzles in Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. #nintendo #games www.sciencealert.com/playing-vide...

Congrats to pianist Paul Cornish on signing with Blue Note Records! I knew his star was rising when I heard him play in the trio and solo formats as a jury member for the American Pianists Awards Jazz Piano Competition in 2023. The talent that comes through the APA is truly exceptional. #jazzsky

Nothing quite like the sound of a Hammond B3. Here’s some impromptu blues improv on my uncle’s B3. His friend Jimmy Smith’s old business card is just off camera. Feeling the inspiration from the master! #jazzsky #Hammond youtu.be/ZDYtcLGgavM?...

My film scoring students compose for student films overseen by new faculty member Mark Cabus. After we met the first time and I realized he played Lord North from TURN: Washington’s Spies, he said “it boggles my mind that you recognized me with my white beard and without my powdered wig.” #filmsky

Fats Waller’s Ain’t Misbehaving, Cole Porter’s What is This Thing Called Love, and Gershwin’s An American in Paris are among the great musical compositions of The Jazz Age that enter the public domain in 2025. #jazzsky
