Meanwhile, it's very much a part of human nature to seek similarities among phenomena rather than focusing on differences, laying the groundwork for change. Sometimes, this inclination is justified, especially when attempting such comparisons seems unimaginable. Take, for instance, the question: What similarities exist between Opera and Jazz? Instead of assuming there are none, consider how George #Gershwin made an attempt to reconcile these two genres with his creation, "Porgy and Bess." What makes "Porgy and Bess" somewhat similar to #jazz is its incorporation of jazz elements into the operatic form. Gershwin infused the score with blues, jazz, and spiritual influences, creating a uniquely American sound. The opera features syncopated rhythms, improvisational passages, and harmonic progressions reminiscent of jazz music. Additionally, the characters often sing in a conversational, idiomatic style that reflects the vernacular language of the time. While "Porgy and Bess" is not a traditional jazz work, its fusion of operatic and jazz elements makes it a notable example of how these two genres can intersect and influence each other.

“Slow down, you move too fast”— a summer anthem. ??Why do we grow programming before infrastructure? Or funding? ??How come our big ideas are easier to come by than the culture required to ground it? ??Why do we expand more naturally than we contract? (Boards too!) Spend some time journaling. Listen to music. Get your reflective groove on. Reflection. Intention. Strategy. Action. It’s a cycle. It’s a marathon. It’s not a sprint. Endurance matters. Slow down, you’re moving to fast. No need to bypass the moment. Make it last. https://lnkd.in/g4rR6xbh

In a Gotham-like city, a severe water shortage caused by a 20-year drought has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities regulated by a megalomaniacal company, Urine Good Company, that profits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs.

New Post: Pearl Jam Unleashes ‘Dark Matter,’ Sets New?Album - https://lnkd.in/dyxWGuZe - Pearl Jam is back, and they’ve returned to heavy. After throwing a listening party last month for a new album that frontman Eddie Vedder described as their “best” work, fans everywhere can now test that theory. The Rock Hall-inducted Seattle legends unleash “Dark Matter,” a muscular romp of power chords, in-your-face bass, drum fills and a late solo could cut a can in half. “Dark Matter” leads the way for the album of the same name, due out April 19. That twelfth studio album is the followup to 2020’s Gigaton, which peaked at No.15 on the Billboard 200 and was described by some devotees as their most experimental album yet. Based on the three-and-a-half minutes of “Dark Matter,” this next phase will rock.
