Sage Wisdom

"Good improvisation communicates harmonic progression melodically. Effective melodies manipulate harmonic content through the use of guide tones and preparatory gravity notes, masterfully woven in systematic tension, release, and transparent harmonic definition."

December 9, 2008 | James Taylor/Yo Yo Ma interview on Charlie Rose

Though he's not a mandolinist, we've always been huge James Taylor fans, not just for his signature vocal stylings, but his unique blend of cerebral jazz vocabulary (and lyrics) mixed with a folksy acoustic sensibility. If you've got a spare 30 minutes, his Charlie Rose interview with "Songs of Joy and Peace" project partner cellist, Yo Yo Ma is enthralling. The three discuss such issues as collaboration, musical diversity, and the origins and solidifications of personal musical identity.

Enjoy: Charlie Rose interview with James Taylor and Yo-Yo Ma
