Episode 7: Group Therapy, Dying to the Ego, and Red Garland

In this episode, Jesse talks about pianist Red Garland and how his involvement in The Miles Davis Quintet is an example of “dying to the ego.” She applies psychodynamic aspects of group therapy to analyzing this “group” and reflects on the beauty of the music of Red Garland. A mediation for groups in the forms of legislative bodies all around the world rounds out the episode.
