What makes Tequila Ocho so unique and special? We asked top bar industry professionals this question at Athens Bar Show 2019.

When John Anastasiadis found out his daughter Kyki was diagnosed with a very rare genetic disorder called BPAN (only about 500 confirmed diagnoses in the world) he decided to put his illustration talents to use and created one of the smartest and coolest coloring books out there. Children with special needs illustrated as superheroes with superpowers 💪🏻
This video is about John and Kyki, and how the coloring book came to life.

To order a print or digital copy of the Rare Adventures Coloring Book 👉 https://rare-adventures.square.site/s/shop
All proceeds go to Neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation, or NBIA, research, and the coloring book makes an excellent educational tool for all families.

Erini walks you through the main features of PitchBop and gives a little demo of the app.

PitchBop is a melodic ear training app designed to help you improve the connection between your ear and your instrument by directly linking the level of skill to the accuracy of your performance.

WHAT PITCHBOP DOES DIFFERENTLY

Unlike most ear training apps where you answer by tapping on a screen without addressing the rhythmic aspect of what you hear, PitchBop offers a performance-like scenario where you listen and actually play your instrument or use your voice.

Using the 'Call and Response' model, Dr. Bop, the resident jazz cat of PitchBop, plays a short phrase for you to listen to and allows you the same amount of time to repeat the phrase back to him to evaluate the accuracy of your performance.


PitchBop is available for iOS and Android

While Dad Drew always makes sure not to share too many details about locations or personal information, Performer Drew highlights how performing both on stage and virtually is part of today's reality. It's also how we create a community, a village, a family and give kids an opportunity to gain self-confidence.

I have been enjoying polyrhythms in my compositions and a little bit in my playing lately and Genius Jam Tracks is the perfect app for me to practice polyrhythms. And how hip are the Neo Soul jazz musicians who sub divide like its nothing? Neo Soul artists like Robert Glasper and Terance Martin have this poly rhythm playing down. Also its so much fun is'nt it?

I practiced over "So what" with a poly rhythm back track so that I can have the freedom to play some Neo Soul inspired chords as you had seen in the video.

Purchase the app it is a really useful tool!

🤠 Professional musician, and very cool, humble & grounded Dad of 2 Daughters Ryan Stasik @ryanstasik, talks about the complete role reversal his life has taken in the last year; due to COVID, he went from being on the road 100+ days a year with his band, Umphrey's McGee, to being a stay at home dad with his daughters Amelia (Punky), 8, and Mickey, 3, while his very talented wife's industry, interior design @mwfoxstasik, boomed and she began filming her own show on HGTV, Breaking Bland.

Redesigned from the ground up, with more than a thousand songs to get your polyrhythms game going, the Genius Jamtracks algorithm thinks and plays like an actual jazz trio. Rather than the tedium of playing along with predictable, prerecorded phrases, now you can jump in on the instrument of your choice and experience the thrill of seemingly endless variations in a Genius Jamsession right from your smartphone.

The Rhythm and Harmony sliders give you the freedom to customize the complexity of your session. From simple triads to jazz chord voicings up to more complex chord progressions and negative harmony, you can experiment with how the app plays each song according to the slider level, as well as move from the traditional comping of a standard play-along and common polyrhythms of the jazz vocabulary to more complex, challenging and sometimes superhuman rhythms.

The app also features two modes - Random, which allows the Genius Jamtracks trio decides on their own what to play and when to play it, based on the style of the song and the tempo, and Quick Set Up, which allows you to focus on a specific grouping, polyrhythm, or rhythmic displacement by asking the trio (by individual instrument or all three) to include only the polyrhythmic phrasing you request. As you won't know when or how it will be used, this feature also helps sharpen your ability to improvise as well as mastering that rhythm.

Genius Jamtracks is designed to help jazz musicians improve their rhythm and reflexes so they have the confidence and skill to play with anyone, whenever, wherever. And sure, you could call us a play-along, but we're oh-so-much-more than that and we think you are too.
Consider us the next best thing to a round of applause.
