Did Chick Corea Perfect Midi Jazz?
Stack a DX7, a keytar, and enough rack-mount synths to power a small city, and you get one of the most iconic – and polarizing – jazz fusion albums of the ’80s. This week, we dive into The Chick Corea Elektric Band (1986), the record that inspired a thousand copycats and split the jazz world. From the jaw-dropping virtuosity of “Got a Match?” to the neon-lit grooves of “Rumble,” we ask: does the tech overshadow the music? Is there too much production polish and not enough stank? Peak fusion or synthmania gone overboard? Join us as we unpack one of the best fusion bands ever assembled.

Stevie's Greatest Album?
What happens when a 21-year-old Stevie Wonder gets the keys to the Motown kingdom? You get Talking Book, a no-filler masterpiece. Adam and Peter go track-by-track through Stevie’s first fully self-driven album, where he played nearly everything himself. From the sticky funk of “Superstition” to the guitar-like tones of “Big Brother,” we break down Stevie’s best clav sounds, synth bass lines, and his surprisingly killin’ drum takes. You’ll hear how this record captured the cutting-edge of music tech while remaining deeply human – and why it may be even better than Songs in the Key of Life. Let’s talk the genius of Stevie Wonder.

Is Keith Jarrett The Greatest Solo Pianist Ever?
One afternoon in Oslo changed the course of jazz piano history! In this episode, Adam and Peter dive into Facing You, the hit 1971 ECM release where a 26-year-old Keith Jarrett – torn between Miles Davis’ electric band and his own acoustic instincts – walked alone into a studio and recorded eight completely improvised masterpieces. From the gospel-tinged “In Front” to the apex moment in “Lalene,” we explore his remarkable touch, bluesy intuition, and the distinctive distorted Steinway that producer Manfred Eicher perfectly captured. We place this album among solo piano giants (Monk, Tatum, Evans), lovingly examine Jarrett’s “fussy” reputation, and show how this afternoon session laid the blueprint for his legendary Köln Concert. Five decades later, we jazz pianists are still chasing the magic Keith created that day.

Herbie Hancock's Greatest Era Is Not Even Jazz?
Does it get any better than that ARP bass line on “Chameleon”? That’s right, it’s Herbie time! Join Peter and Adam as we explore Herbie Hancock’s explosive breakout from Blue Note jazz man to platinum-selling Headhunter. Transport your ears to an afro-futuristic daydream as we dissect Herbie’s funk-jazz era – and the cast of characters that helped push jazz records back onto the Pop charts. You’ll hear stem breakdowns of Paul Jackson’s brilliant bass grooves, the magic of Mike Clark’s “Oakland sound” drums, and, of course, much geeking out over Herbie’s mind-bending synth and electric keyboard experiments (excuse our stank-faces). From Fat Albert Rotunda (1969) through the slept-on Sunlight (1978), we ask: is this Herbie at his greatest?

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.

Bill Evans and The Trio That Changed Trios
Can you believe the most celebrated Bill Evans Trio was only together for 18 months? In this episode, we’re looking at early 60's Bill alongside Scott LaFaro and Paul Motian, and the four albums they recorded together before LaFaro’s tragic death at just 25 years old. From Portrait in Jazz and its cross-over with Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue through Sunday at the Village Vanguard and Waltz for Debbie – recorded live on the same day in June 1961. We break down their conversational approach to jazz standards like “Autumn Leaves,” geek out over Bill Evans music theory, and explore his distinct voicings and voice leading techniques. Whether you’re a mid-century jazz aficionado or just looking for the perfect “sweater weather trio songs to somberly study to,” we’ve got just the playlist for you.

In this episode, Peter and Adam trace his evolution from the straight-ahead Art of the Trio series to the produced, cinematic experiments of his 2002 opus Largo. We look at how Brad’s late nights in LA, love of Radiohead, and partnership with producer Jon Brion blurred the lines between indie pop, alt rock, and jazz, creating a new “Populist Jazz.” 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.

The Worst Blues Podcast Ever
We're all about giving a voice to many different viewpoints on the You'll Hear It podcast, and in the spirit of healthy debate, we respond to an op-ed sent in to us by a listener about a recent episode - read the full email below:
Hi Peter and Adam,
Big fan of the podcast and you guys in general, but in my opinion this last episode on the blues was not cool/lame for a bunch of different reasons.
Begin rant:
1. You called this a blues episode, but really didn't give any background on the different styles of actual blues piano that are out there and who to listen to. (Chicago style - Otis Spann / New Orleans - Dr. John / Texas - Pinetop Perkins and so on) The episode seemed to focus on jazz blues only which to me seems weird given the title.
2. Oscar Peterson is not the end all/be all of jazz blues. You can make a very strong argument that Wynton Kelly, Cedar Walton, or Mary Lou Williams have much tastier licks and sound more authentic. Oscar is great obviously, but not all there is out there by any means. I love Oscar, but he also got a lotta criticism in his day for overplaying and being too polished and to hold him up as the epitome of blues piano seems strange.
3. You cannot, cannot, cannot just run up and down blues scales and throw in some double stops and call it the blues. There is a language and vocabulary with many years of tradition. I am looking at you Adam. You had an episode a while back where you gave this formula on which blues scales to use in which part of the blues form and it made me puke in my mouth a little. The fact that you actually said this while shitting on the boogie woogie tradition and those licks makes my head explode. (I do agree with what you said about blues method books though)
4. Peter, sloppy rolls are part and parcel of the blues tradition. (See Dr. John and Otis Spann) Your whole take on this conjured up my worst memories of hanging out with jazz piano majors in my twenties and some of the nonsense I read on keyboard forums these days. I get where you are coming from, but this sounded way elitist to my ears. You could have just said tighten that shit up and/or don't overuse it in a jazz setting.
5. You guys spend a lot of time talking about the major and minor blues scales instead of actually dissecting the blue vocabulary. For example, Chicago players like Otis Spann emphasize the b3, b5 and b7 while New Orleans players like Dr. John/Professor Longhair use more of the major sound (emphasizing the b3, 3 and 6) as well as some chord based patterns. Why not talk about these different approaches and play some examples instead of just running up and down "scales" ?
6. I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate hate what students sound like when they are learning blues scales, it eats away at my soul every time I hear it. Stop telling people to learn scales, blues piano is based on licks and a shared vocabulary. Show people the licks, and introduce them to the players, and tell them to use the notes in the lick as a starting point for improvising. If you show someone a scale they are forever going to be locked into that pattern, show them a lick and it is the beginning of a musical journey. You guys didn't get to where you are by playing scales when you improvise, why would it work for anyone else?
To sum up: Blues piano has a rich tradition which most modern advanced players basically ignore in favor of generic pentatonic blues scale patterns. This results in watering down the tradition when these players (very technically proficient but usually focused on other styles of music ) attempt to pass on their lack of knowledge to beginner or intermediate players.
End rant:
I have a jazz background, but when I am playing a blues gig (or a rock gig for that matter) I take off my jazz hat and listen to my favorite blues players and shed their licks in all keys, much like you guys. One of my all-time favorites is Chuck Leavell who toured with Dr. John and grew up listening to real blues in Georgia in the 1960s. I am attaching an arrangement I did of his licks/solos (me playing them with a logic loop) that I practice in all keys. You'll hear a lot of the things I am talking about, he draws on guys like Otis Spann, Dr. John, and Pinetop Perkins and melds their language into his own style. I use it as a warm-up to keep my blues/rock chops up, but you get the idea.
Love you dudes!!
~Benny
