I'm Adamanus, and I'm Peter Martin.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear It podcast.

Daily Jazz advice coming at you.

Season two. Season two. That's right. We're having fun. It's our first week back for season two. Feels good. Feels good, man. We're in the pod cave here. The pod cave. That still sounds weird to say, but it's exactly what it is. Podcave, pod cave. We should have Andrew take a picture of the podcave. Although you can go to YouTube and see all of these episodes. YouTube.com. www. YouTube.com. Search you'll hear it. Yeah, subscribe to Open Studio. Subscribe and like. What? Dang right. Yeah. So you can see. I mean, we're not that much to look at. No, but, you know, it's kind of get the vibe. We didn't, the other day, we getting a lot of interesting and really positive feedback on our 12, or no, 14 sexiest jazz musicians. There was note made that neither one of us made that list, but, you know, maybe V2, we might make like the 24 top. I don't know if I want to be on that list, man. That seems like a lot of work. I like donuts. So today we are going to answer one of our user questions. And of course, you can always go to you'll hear it.com. Leave us a comment, leave us a question, leave us a voice memo. And this comes from Christian. And we don't know where he is, but that's okay. What's up?

And he says, hi, guys, as I'm a big fan of the sound of jazz sextats, three horns plus rhythm, would you mind spending an episode on your favorite jazz sex tests, also touching upon topics

like writing, arranging for the setup and why it's

particularly challenging in terms of openness and ambiguities of sound and harmony, including

also ideas on what to look for when writing for this setup.

So first off, thank you for the question, and we cannot spend an entire episode on sex

stats because we could only think of one. Yeah, but no, we had a great idea to kind of expand on this a little bit. You know, we'll have to add a little adaptation. Yeah, a little adaptation. We do our own, you know, our own lists of seven all the time. And so we thought it would be cool for each number to go through. So like for one would be our favorite solo player. For two, our favorite duo. Let me guess. Number three. Trio. And so on. And we could, you know, now that I'm reading this question, we could talk about sort of the the setup and the arranging of these various scenarios. As pianists, we get to play all of these scenarios. That's right. We're included to every one of these seven parties.

Yeah, I mean, trumpet players very rarely play solo, very rarely play duo.

Thank God.

Yeah, we get to do all of these.

And so I think we could shed a little light on.

Well, yeah.

And why don't we do most of our kind of arranging and light shedding for the sex set when we get to that one since he was sort of asking

about that sounds good yeah sounds good cool cool why don't we start with uh one instrument solo solo

so this is the greatest solo performer on any instrument in any genre in my opinion that's art tatum

the great art take mic drop art tatum and there's nothing else to say he's a whole orchestra sitting at it Art Tatum. And there's nothing else to say. He's a whole orchestra sitting at 88. Hold on. You just said there's nothing else to say, but you're still talking. I mean, there's no other, there's no debate is what I mean. Right. There's no, there's no like, well, yeah, but this guy was a little bit better at, no. Right. That's true. There's no other better solo musician, I think, that's ever lived.

Right. this guy was a little bit better at no right that's true there's no other better solo musician

i think that's ever lived right and i mean what what a feat to be so entertaining to just your

general listener yeah and so impressive but also to jazz pianists yeah like nerded out inside game
