0:00.0	I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adam Manus.
0:17.6	You're listening to the You'll Hear at podcast.
0:20.0	Daily jazz advice coming at you.
0:27.9	Today we're going to give you seven great jazz pianists that are not on Mount Rushmore.
0:32.5	Okay, two questions.
0:33.6	First of all, there aren't any jazz pianists on Mount Rushmore.
0:36.3	You wrote the title to this, but... Oh, yeah, yeah. No, well, and question two, aren't there four people supposed to be on Mount? Yeah, we're forcing seven on. We tried four before and then we got so excited. We added more and then we said we're going to add even more later. I feel like we even ended up with nine. I know. And now I feel bad because these are great players we have today. And it's like it's the second rung. You know, it's like you'd have the real Mount Rushmore. And then as you're driving there, like for the lazy people, come to fake Mount Rushmore on your way. But these are still great, maybe getting a little bit less under the radar, right?
1:11.8	Yeah, totally.
1:12.4	Or more under the radar.
1:13.3	More under the radar.
1:14.1	Are we going to kick it off?
1:15.0	Let's kick it off.
1:15.9	We have Red Garland at number one of the second group.
1:21.4	The best of the worst?
1:23.6	No.
1:24.3	No, I mean, Red Garland is, well, this actually, now that I'm looking, this is kind of a cool list because this, we can almost call it like pianists, pianists.
1:33.9	They're known and they've been on some big recordings, but they actually were on Mount Rushmore, some people might be like, what?
1:42.6	You know?
1:43.5	But for any jazz pianists, they would... it's like kind of undisputed, you know, their value and their worth. So Red Garland, who's from Texas, did you know that? I did not know that. Great, the Lone Star State. That's awesome. Yeah. They produce, you know, many great jazz musicians, but for some reason, Texas, most of the jazz musicians that are from there, other people don't know that's where they're from. Like Philly jazz players, St. Louis, Chicago, for sure, in New Orleans. Like Texas, I guess since it's so big and everything. But anyway, Red Garland, did you know he was a boxer? going to be a little trivia, too. I did not know that.
2:17.9	He was a boxer, and I believe he's the one who got Miles interested in boxing when he was playing with it. I had no idea about that. Wow. It's a lot you don't know. I just thought he was a guy with, like, pretty block chords and nice, beautiful bebop lines. Well, those are true, too. so redland has, yeah, block chords, introductions.
2:37.7	Yeah.
2:37.9	What are the reasons he's on Mount Rushmore for you?
