Episode 4 - Matthew Jacobson

Aaron TBone Murphy Season 1 Episode 4

In this Episode, Aaron sat down with Dr Matthew Jacobson - the Jazz Doctor. Matthew Jacobson is an Irish drummer, composer, bandleader, educator and producer who teaches full time DCU's BA in Jazz and Contemporary Music Education program. Matthew is one of Ireland's leading lights on the jazz and improvised music scene and an absolutely lovely person on top of all that. It's clear when talking to Matt that there are a hundred considered ideas for every one that he says out loud.  Listen in on their discussion here of the therapeutic process of finding out how your playing fits in to a larger group, the variety of ways that changing the context of the music changes the music itself and the utilisation of new tools in traditional and modern contexts to bring out new avenues of creativity.

Matthew's thoughts are an absolutely fascinating piece of inspiration for any musician.
