OM DENNE EPISODE
What can jazz improvisation teach us about leading a team, navigating failure, and staying true to yourself?
Dr. Mark Holub — drummer, composer, band leader, and Mercury Music Prize-nominated leader of Leadbib (now with eight albums) — joins Lynn and Beth for a wide-ranging conversation about group language in jazz, the art of knowing when NOT to play, and what it really means to lead without performing a version of leadership that isn't you.
Mark also unpacks the gap between academic and practising musicians, why arts funding cuts may accidentally build community, and how his ensemble Anthropods navigated recording improvised music while still needing to be physically in the same room.
