Tricky Counting, Straight Saxes & Transposing Horns

On this Strong Songs mailbag episode, Kirk answers your most
pressing questions on subjects ranging from horn transposition,
to why audiences have a hard time clapping on 2 and 4, to what
the heck that sound is on the bridge to "Every Little Thing She
Does is Magic."

BLACK LIVES MATTER


As Kirk mentioned on the show, below are some things to read and
watch to learn more about America's shameful history of systemic
racism. Just three things, actually:



The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of
Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander, which should be
required reading in all U.S. high schools -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_Jim_Crow

An excellent new NPR video explaining the history of the New
York Cabaret Card, which was used by the NYPD to discriminate
against black jazz musicians:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUFWf-63kNk&feature=emb_logo

Wesley Morris's 2019 Times essay about white
appropriation of black American music:
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/08/14/magazine/music-black-culture-appropriation.html



There's a huge number of additional articles, books, and videos a
person could check out to better educate themselves about this
often overwhelming subject. But if you listen to this show and
are looking for somewhere to start, start with those three.
