Do By Doing (feat. Max Bent)

My guest Max Bent and I must have known each other in a past life. We've never spoken before this conversation, but we don't miss a single beat. Calling in from Baltimore, Maryland, Max is many things: beatboxer, deep thinker, spirit man and music teacher of gifted artist James B. Good, featured on an earlier episode of this show. We waste no time in getting into a big, easy flow, touching on subjects including mystical numbers, making meaning in music, learning by doing, and the sacred silent space in between two beats. Heavily influenced by hip hop, Max surprises me by performing "Hinei ma tov" live, a traditional Jewish song sang in Hebrew in a reggae style and looped live on his loopstation. Max translates the meaning of the song as “It's so good to be here together.” I agree.
