It's been a while, but we have something for you - James' JazzPhi project was the feature of an RTVS radio programme: rtvs.sk/radio/archiv/1302/14… N.B., it's in Slovak, so you might need to ask a Slovak-speaking friend to translate!

There are all kinds of interesting things on there - recordings spanning the whole JazzPhi project, research papers discussing the theory behind the music and even a couple of videos of live performances! Have a look around! jazzphilosophyfusion.com/

"Plato is a bit like Louis Armstrong, Descartes is a bit like Charlie Parker, Heidegger is a bit like Ornette Coleman; if you know both jazz and philosophy, then you will immediately know what I mean, even if you disagree with my choices." @jazz_phi faces the music for tpm.

Philosophy used to have more Soul than Aretha Franklin singing gospel in church on a cold sunday morning. Now it has none. Should we get it back? Listen to James' track, 'soul' - youtube.com/watch?v=HrImamlj… and tell us what you think here: forms.gle/yymBXVPTnmiEH8Mb9

Derek Parfit, apparently the avid Star Trek fan, reckoned that Teletransportation was a philosophically interesting idea. Here's a excerpt from one of James' songs on the matter. Listen, and then please answer the polls on the next few tweets!

You there! Yes, you! You are free! Would you kindly use some of that freedom to listen to this song about freedom? It's called 'freedom', and you can find it here: youtube.com/watch?v=IeSAZ81Z… Feel free to tell us your thoughts and feelings here: forms.gle/8YWBg6LWzRSBrf6q8
