Our parents told us that rap would rot our brain and rock n’ roll would too… but they never mentioned jazz. Does it heal our neurons? What happened in Charlie Parker’s brain when he improvised? Can Alicia Keys save us with her soothing tones? In this episode, Mimi Hayes sits down with neurologist and casual guitar god Dr. Michael N. Shadlen to do a deep dive into jazz and the brain.
