Professor Ryan Keberle will be featured in the “Blindfold Test” of the January ’21 Downbeat Magazine issue. Downbeat Magazine has featured legendary jazz musicians in a listening test each month for almost 90 years including interviews with Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, etc.
The “Blindfold Test” is a listening test that challenges the featured artist to discuss and identify the music and musicians who performed on selected recordings. The artist is then asked to rate each tune using a 5-star system. No information is given to the artist prior to the test. Prof. Ryan Keberle was tested on a few of the following tracks; Al Grey and the Basie Wing: “Open Wider, Please”, The Pugh-Taylor Project: “747”, Urbie Green: “How About You?”, and many more.
