By Harry Decimo of Evolver.fm. Trolling through the app stores, a musician sees plenty of options for learning new tricks, and all sort of tuners and other utilities.

Claude Thornhill: 1941-42
For me, music doesn't spin in a vacuum. As a historian, once I know the date of a recording, a series of mental overlays drop into place—including the period's socio-political events, technological and economic developments, cultural trends, and the country's overall mood.
