Singing Drummers & Jazz Flute
Strong Songs
What Is the Power of Dissonance?
The power of dissonance can make you lose your grip as a listener, especially when it comes in an unexpected place. By refusing to end the line in the expected, in-tune, consonant way, he throws the song into this very different energy. It feels more punky and careless, kind of uglier and more relaxed. The Veronica in this song is actually based on Elvis Costello's grandmother who was succumbing to Alzheimer's disease.
It's time to answer more of your musical questions, with topics including singing drummers, Elvis Costello harmonies, how to find a music teacher, unusual odd-meter counting, similar-sounding songs, and Anchorman's jazz flute scene.

8/10/22 Update: Fixed a couple of small mistakes and added a mention of the subject matter of "Veronica"
OUTRO SOLOIST: Tim Howes
Tim Howes is a doctor and saxophonist based in Bristol, UK. He started on sax at age 10, playing Beatles and Stones covers in a school band, then became obsessed with jazz theory as a teenager, tracing how jazz harmony flows through other musical styles. Sax playing eventually took a backseat to studying and practicing medicine, but he has passed his love of music on to his kids. (And he still sounds pretty great, in my opinion! ~K)
