0:00.0	This is Adam Manus.
0:16.6	And I'm Peter Martin.
0:17.7	And you're listening to the You'll Hear It podcast.
0:20.4	Daily jazz advice coming at you.
0:33.1	Today we're going to give you seven classical composers that have influenced jazz.
0:38.0	Wait, I thought jazz came out of a vacuum that was just like it was New Orleans and there was a bubble over it. Nobody influenced anybody. Well, they did, but you know how classical music and musicians are. They always want to come back and take the credit for it later. I know. I hate those classical. Oh, wait, who's that sitting in front of us? Oh. That's how we do it. What's going on? We have a very special guest today, amazing musician and an amazing friend of ours, Mr. Sean Weil, who hails from the south side of Chicago, but is a longtime member of the St. Louis Symphony, bedrock of the violin section. So great to have you here today, Sean. Great to be here. Thanks for
1:11.5	having me. Yeah, so we have you here, Sean, because you are an encyclopedia of musical knowledge,

1:48.3	Let's go way back. We'll not too, too far back, but I guess we could start with the late
1:54.4	Beethoven string quartets. That's right. So number one, we have those late Beethoven string quartets.
2:00.2	I know, Sean, you hit me to Opus 130, which has like seven movements.
2:05.6	It's got many movements.
2:07.3	And the one of my all-time favorite movements of any pieces of all time, from that called the Cavatina.
2:16.4	It's absolutely gorgeous.
2:20.5	The thing that strikes me about all late Beethoven,
2:21.9	but especially the string quartets,
2:24.0	is like, it sounds like it was written yesterday.
