Read time: 1 minute, 301 words. The best genres shouldn't quite make sense. A few years ago, I visited Mehmet Ali SanlΔ±kolβs basement studio outside Boston. Charlie Parker on one wall. Turkish masters on another. Handmade instruments everywhere. This is where Turkish Hipster took shape. Turkish makam. Brazilian percussion. Hip-hop. β70s rock. Big-band jazz.

Read time: 1 minute, 383 words. What helps you survive can become what you give to others. Jeff Ross made a career roasting everyone else (Tom Brady, Shaq, Justin Bieber, etc). In Take a Banana for the Ride, he does something riskier: he tells the truth about himself. Jeff lost his mother at fourteen and his father at nineteen. Comedy became his companion, then his career. I had the pleasure of producing the album, my first comedy project. After years of working on weighty projects with...

But few in football knew. He worried that if one of his receivers struggled, people would assume he was distracted by school. If his classmates knew he was an NFL coach, they might assume he was receiving special treatment. So he kept the worlds separate. I understand why. When I worked in banking, I rarely...

It sounded like rock-star vanity. It was quality control. Their shows required complicated staging, wiring, and equipment. If the band found a brown M&M, they knew the venue might not have read the rest of the instructions carefully. The candy was not the problem. It was the signal. You cannot inspect everything all...
