Interview with Matt Glaser
Matt Glaser is an American jazz and bluegrass violinist and has been an influential thought leader in the history of American jazz and roots music for many years. In this episode with host Eugene Friesen, he talks about his journey in the creative industry, his insights into the history of American jazz and roots music, and how his journey aligns with the world of improvisation, collaboration, and creative expression.
Given that his thoughts and insights have been featured in Ken Burns' documentary Jazz, it is clear that Matt's contributions to the music industry went beyond the stage. He has served as the chair of the string department at the Berklee College of Music for over twenty-five years and is now the founder and artistic director of Berklee's American Roots Music Program.

Reframing the Role of the Musician: A Conversation About Sound Work and Community Healing with Joshua Leeds
How can we expand musicians' imaginations about how they can serve communities beyond traditional performance? In this episode of Beyond Mastery, host Eugene Friesen engages in a profound dialogue about the power of music with music producer, educator, and sonic activist Joshua Leeds.
In a time of "koyaanisqatsi," which means life out of balance, Joshua Leeds proposes that musicians should see themselves as "sound workers" who bring healing and advocates for public, community-based music making to foster social cohesion and guard against despair.
Joshua specializes in music and sound for health and wellness, and his books include The Power of Sound and Through a Dog’s Ear, and Soundwork on a Hot Rock (2024). You can learn more about Joshua on his website.
Learn more about Joshua's work at BeyondMastery.com.
