Saw Peter with Christian McBride & Inside Straight at the Vanguard last Thursday night, brilliant performance! One of the best shows I've ever attended!

For guitar players I HIGHLY recommend Satin Doll. If you learn to play it all in one position you end up learning 4 out of the 5 major position shapes and their respective 2 5 1s in shape which as we all know, knowing your shapes is everything in guitar

When the world seems like its falling apart, when I'm being bombarded with negative vibes from every news outlet, when im feeling FOMO from the AI and Crypto bubble, when i fear for my unborn childrens lives in the future...I can click on a youll hear it podcast and forget about it all. Refreshing. Rejoice!

I love how you make learning jazz so approachable without "dumbing it down". Great video as always!! Time to learn some monk tunes

[JonathanRouach]

19:15 "you know you can't land all the planes all the time" I laughed so hard at that saying 😂

[daveshep]

Thanks for including Evidence. There’s a lot in that tune that a bass player like me can learn about PRECISE syncopation.

"Softly, as in a morning sunrise", by Sonny Clark is really helping me with the minor 2-5-1s😀

[PaulieStamets]

Love the latest looks Adam, looking really sharp.


Thanks for the knowledge guys, love you

[BowadeOnMusic]

🤩🤙🎹☕️ I love this format. Two piano players sharing their insights.

[alvistd]

Learned alot from you. I think it's great. i ATTENDED A CONSERVATORY 45 YEARS AGO-GOT MORE FROM YOU.

[Guitarinthewoods]

Brilliant and entertaining as ever. Thanks guys.

[Kokosnusskopf]

so much of the information is just going over my head! i truly have a long way to go 😅

[JJBerthume]

Love you guys I look forward to all of these episodes and practice applying what you teach! I love the banter too 😂

[Erschophone]

In all probability, Victor Lewis got into parallel minor third modulation by playing "In Case You Haven't Heard" with Woody Shaw - where the solo changes (but not the head) modulate in minor thirds.

DAYUM!!! Merry Christmas to me. I love this break down you guys are doing here. The first time I heard "Hey, It's Me You're Talking To, " was in a spot in Brooklyn on Flatbush Ave called the Up Over Jazz Lounge/Cafe (my memory is failing me) sung by a vocalist Miles Griffith, which I bought his CD when the set was over. Thank you for doing this. Happy Holidays to the both of you and yours.

[idnemgk]

Brilliant! This has been one of my favorite topics for years. Thank you for fleshing it out. : )

[louisswaim]

I would love to hear you guys discourse on jazz contrafacts. Your mention of the base tune for Donna Lee made me think of it.

[Keychain-]

watch out ladies and gentlemen. looks like we got ourselves a couple of real Harmony Heads over here

[trevor]

I think it should maybe be "You can't ONLY information yourself into being a better player". You cant really be a good player without information, even if it isn't music theory but it's just stuff you've figured out in your own way, it still is information you are using.
However, the information alone doesn't do anything. Once you have the information, you need to work it a lot to allow that information osmosis to really make you better by just having more inside of you to come out. Like a good moisturizer helps your skin glow

Does anyone know what is the “open studio” “you'll hear it” podcast intro song? The original one with the fast piano riff.
