Everyone's Gone to the Movies
by Patrick Burnette
Mike ran across a soundtrack or two in his library excursions and hence an episode that's just what it says on the tin--a look at four soundtracks by jazz musicians. We explore which efforts work as “albums" and which are more a series of useful cues and snippets that don't necessarily create a coherent listening experience ...
What in the Bag?
by Patrick Burnette
Welcome to “What's in the Bag?," where Pat pulls out a few vinyl discoveries--some reissues, some crate finds--for Mike and him to dissect. It's kind of a continuing feature on the show when we run out of other things to discuss, and is not to be confused with “What's in the Box?" where the contents are ...
Don't Terje Me, Bro
by Patrick Burnette
Some of our podcasts have themes. This podcast has a wide-ranging mix of three 2023 releases and one moderately historical entry from an ECM guitarist whose name Pat dare not pronounce. Can the jazz violin be a force for good? We think so. Can Pat find a Pyroclastic release that tickles his fancy? You betcha--but no ...
Soft and Hard
by Patrick Burnette
We spend a lot of time on this show exploring what you might call, if you were a lapsed academic with pomposity issues, the accessibility spectrum. Some jazz is pretty easy to get--and some just ain't pretty. In this show, we travel quite a way across the spectrum listening to coffee-house ready (but good) jazz and ...
Mr. Gone
by Patrick Burnette
With Wayne Shorter's death at age 89, jazz lost an innovative composer, saxophonist and bandleader. Mike knew a tribute was needed but didn't want to explore the usual suspects, so the boys take a trawl through lesser-known aspects of Shorter's career (while throwing in an overview as well to orient the less familiar). We look at ...
Bossa and Beyond
by Patrick Burnette
Jazz's symbiotic relationship with Brazil's bossa nova is well-known. Lesser known are the many non-Brazilian jazz artists who took elements from North American models and modified them as they saw fit. This episode explores albums recorded by artists from Chile, Venezuela, Argentina, and... well, Brazil, because too few people know what four Tamba's add up to ...
Fire Starters
by Patrick Burnette
The boys take another walk down the “out" side of the street this episode, with looks at a little known outing from one of Charles Mingus' trumpet players to a twin-guitar / alto sax ensemble, to two rather challenging works on the Pyroclastic label. Mike's more patient with those efforts than Pat. Who's ready for some ...
Are Ten Enough?
by Patrick Burnette
The boys have been at this podcasting game for ten years now (plus a few “bonus" episodes) and celebrate with a tenth anniversary show dedicated to--what else?--tentets. And yes, spell-check, “tentet" is a real word. We journey from the 1950's to the right-now's in quest of ensembles too big to be a combo, too small to ...
Gang Violence
by Patrick Burnette
After almost a decade of planning and putting it off, the boys finally face their greatest fear: group jazz singing. What happens when three or four hipsters harmonize? Is it safe to even try to find out? Mike's not sure about that, but we tried anyway, and came up with this insight: you can't keep a ...
Youngsters, Phoenixes, Mingi
by Patrick Burnette
We look at three 2022 releases this time (albeit one recorded way back in 1972) along with the first harbinger of the new year. There's an electronic sounding long-playing debut by a pair of YouTube wunderkinder (all played in real-time, we promise), a straight-ahead tenor sax trio, another star-studded portfolio album from a rising sax star, ...
