Baby boomer, baby, baby, boomer.

I'm Adam Menace.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear It Podcast. Jazz Explained. Explain. Peter, it's a continuation of a series we've been doing of our seven favorite pianists by generation. We've done millennials. Yes. We've done ex-zenials. No, we haven't done that. We've done Gen X. Not a real thing. Not a real thing. It is a real thing. And I am one.

We've done Gen X. We've done millennials today. It's the notorious BB. The notorious baby boomers. Baby boomers. Yes. Would that be something you might be interested in? It is. But we got a full disclosure right away. I know what you're thinking. and Chick-Korea, Herbie Hancock,

those gentlemen are not going to be part of this.

Keith Jarrett. It is, but we got a full disclosure right away. I know what you're thinking. Chick-Korea, Herbie, Hancock, those gentlemen are not going to be part of this.

Keith Jarrett, not a baby boomer.

Keith Jarrett, close. Yeah. Very close. I know people are going to be like, how come you don't have Keith Jarrett? Check your dates, buddy, because we have. Yeah. Well, the dates are so, they're such a gray area. You know, because they're not, it's not really a thing.

But I feel like with this one it is, because baby boomers were post.

That's very specific.

Yeah.

So. So there's such a great area. You know, because they're not, it's not really a thing. But I feel like with this one it is, because baby boomers were post. That's very specific. Yeah. So, 1946. Yeah. So it's, yeah, what, 1940, born between 1946 and 1964, both my parents are baby boomers. Yeah, one of my parents is. But neither of your parents nor neither of my parents is going to be in this list, although they are baby boomers. Yeah, one of my parents is. But neither of your parents nor

neither of my parents is going to be in this list,

although they are baby boomers.

No, but they actually love all the musicians on this list. Greatest parents of all time? All four of them would make it for sure. Oh, yeah. Well, three out of four. Definitely greatest boomer parents of all time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, boomer. Let's get started here right away.

Our first baby boomer...

Okay, first of all, none of these are controversial, I don't think.

No. I mean, we left off some controversy. Who we left off could be some controversy. All of these, I think, are cream of the crop. Yeah. I dare any of our dear listeners to challenge us that any of these folks, fine folks, should not be on this list. Also, most of these folks... I also dare you to find plenty of people we missed. Most of these folks, except for the ones who've sadly passed on too young, most of these folks are still making great music. Right. And so you can go see them in concert like this week if you want to.

Right. Starting with our first up, which is one of my favorite pianists still working today.

This is from 1989. This is Rini. Yes. Peter. We've had Rini on the show, a friend of the show. Friend of the show, friend of the pod. Canadian.

Yeah. Friend of America though. And America. One of the great Canadian pianists.

And they've got a nice tradition.
