Composer of the Week: Bud Powell on BBC. I feel like he's rushed. That's bebop maybe. I didn't know he spent time in a psych ward after being arrested in 1945. He had ideas of reference, and was in Creedmoor for quite a long time, and got ECT in 1946.
The Charismatic Voice is Elizabeth Zharoff education about vocalizing. She's a classically trained singer, and teacher, and she puts words to music. She has great facial expressions, and she doesn't really know the history of rock and roll, and she's enjoying breaking down great songs. It's really quite fun somehow. The way she breaks down a song and goes back and relistens is really interesting, I feel like when I listen to her analyse a song, that I really know it. It makes me love rock and roll again. She is so pleasantly surprised by music she's never hear. Her focus is supposed to be the voice, but she's gutted by the lyrics sometimes.
