Secret Insights into the world of Jazz Drumming
The "Musicology Show" is back, with a new show about jazz drumming. Pandora music analyst Jeff Anthony pulls back the curtain on our jazz genome to show us the signature styles of Elvin Jones, Tony Williams and "Philly Joe" Jones -- arguably three of the greatest drummers who ever picked up sticks.
This show was edited and recorded by Tyler Brown at Bellboy Recording, a studio that has served as home to many fine Bay Area jazz recordings.
As always, it's free to subscribe to "The Musicology Show" in iTunes or in any other feedcatcher (Google Reader, Juice, etc.)
Just scroll down on the main podcast page to hear those 50 earlier episodes, or jump straight to the category pages for Composition, Styles, Singing, Instruments and Rhythm.

Hi Pandora,
Since you don't have a contact us page, I'll leave a comment here.
Pandora won't connect to my Roku player anymore, which is a real shame. Not sure why it's not working, and since there is zero documentation on anybody's site, it's kind of a lose-lose situation for everyone.
Please put up some documentation, because I hear LastFM will connect to a Roku player soon as well.

Just got Pandora on my cell phone, & in trying to find my favorite band I inadvertently got children's music- how do I get RID of it?!! Also is it possible to search for music by genre?

My wife is always singing the praises of Pandora. A few months back they were not going to offer it free anymore but then they changed their mind. After listening a few days, I would say it rocks!

God I love jazz and everything that is linked to it. I love Pandora and I'am always singing some praises of it.
Posted by: Lukas Stys at February 3, 2010 2:20 AM
@Keith W -- I sent your question to support@pandora.com, and they contacted to figure out what's up with that. We should get it cleared up in no time if it's not already.
@Linda -- Yes! We have a bunch of genre stations on our front page, just below the tuner, and these are also searchable: http://www.pandora.com/#/extras/genres . As for how to get rid of children's music, that's another support question, which they responded directly to you about...
@Joe and @Lukas -- thanks, eh! here's to having more jazz in the world.

The drummer is mostly the man, who is working the hardest, especially at jazz sessions.
Posted by: heuck at February 26, 2010 10:43 AM
Yeah i'd have to agree with 'heuck', definately the man. I played drums from grade 5 to grade 10, and after 5 years i was still crap hey. Very coordinated people.

I love Jazz Music and with Pandora I can discover a lot of new Jazz music even from musicians I've never heard the name before. Pandora is a diamond in a rough Internet world.

Elvin Jones is a huge inspiration to thousands of drummers. His drum solos and creative expression is mesmerizing. How he could stay in the pocket and float around "time" still keeps me listening to him. Thank you and keep up the shows.

I could not agree more. Plus, drumming is like flipping a switch on the human soul. It's pure music from within...primal and passionate. Sigh...

One of my best friends has made a living out of online radio. It gave him and his band an opportunity that would otherwise never have been possible. Is this happens in your country who is to say it is not going to have a flow on effect here in Aus. I am against it as much as you are!
