The Ten Most Important Years In Jazz
Take a trip with us to the most revolutionary decade in jazz (1923-1933), when a young Louis Armstrong was creating a new improvisational vocabulary in real-time. This isn?t the ?Wonderful World? Satchmo most know, but the young gunner whose genius trumpet solos on ?West End Blues? and ?Tight Like This? were toppling trumpet kings. We break down Pops? evolution from King Oliver?s second to pioneering frontman, explore his inventive scat singing (supposedly born when he dropped his lyric sheet), and trace how his massive popularity caught the attention of Chicago gangsters ? careful now! From his recordings with Earl ?Fatha? Hines to ?Black and Blue? ? the first jazz song addressing racism ? hear exactly why we say there would be no jazz without Louis Armstrong.

Why Do Jazz Pianists LOVE Roberta Flack?
Tune in as we pay tribute to the incomparable Roberta Flack, who we sadly lost last month. From her 1969 debut album First Take (featuring Open Studio artist Ron Carter on bass) to her iconic collaborations with Donny Hathaway ? we dissect why what Flack didn?t play was just as important as what she did. We?ll explore how this classical piano prodigy, who entered Howard at 15 and didn?t write her own songs, became the Quiet Storm Queen that influenced every soul, R&B, and jazz singer since. You?ll hear why her understated yet commanding vocals and that classic 70s kick drum made ?Killing Me Softly? a hit, grooving duets like ?You?ve Got A Friend,? and deep cuts that redefined ballads. Join us to uncover the genius of Roberta Flack.

Miles' Greatest Album - You're Welcome
Could Miles Davis? peak performance come alongside a bunch of kids who weren?t even getting paid? In this episode, Peter and Adam dive into one of the greatest live albums ever captured, My Funny Valentine: Live at the Philharmonic (1964). We explore how Miles Davis, sideman George Coleman, and a young rhythm section (Herbie Hancock, Ron Carter, and teenage Tony Williams) made jazz history in real time with their one-of-a-kind (unpaid) voter registration benefit concert. Learn how the quintet remade Miles? go-to standards (?All of You?, ?Stella?, ?All Blues?...) with their conversational, free-flowing, spacious playing ? and hear the evolution across Davis? career. Join us as we break down these incredible performances and prove why this underappreciated live album captures Miles? greatest playing ever (at least for Peter?s ears).

Is "Off The Wall" Michael's True Masterpiece?
When Epic Records told Michael Jackson ?no? to Quincy Jones, he fought back and changed music forever. Join Adam Maness and Peter Martin as they dive into Jackson?s 1979 masterpiece Off The Wall ? the album that planted MJ?s flag as a solo artist. We explore how a young Michael partnered with Quincy Jones, created magic with studio legends Louis Johnson and Greg Phillinganes, and transformed Rod Temperton?s ?I Want to Eat You Up? into a radio-friendly ?Rock With You.? Hear rare demos and interviews, isolated stems, and discover why this record still delivers HITS! decades later. Between Quincy?s touch, Michael?s heart-pouring intensity, and a whole lot of masterful musicians emerged something that united the world in a way few artists ever could.

Discover how Brad Mehldau?s Largo paved the way for a generation of genre-bending artists from The Bad Plus, to Robert Glasper, to our very own Adam Maness ? and cemented his place as the greatest genre hacker in jazz.
