Hey Adam.

Yeah, Peter.

Are you feeling intergenerational?

Yeah, what's going on?

Are you feeling intragenerational?

Very much so.

Well, that's exactly where we're going today.

Welcome to Gen X.

Gen X.

Gen X.

I'm Adam Manis. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll Hear It Podcast. Jazz Explain. Obviously it's Jazz Explain. Oh, man. I forgot what we were doing here. I know. That smells like something. It smells a little bit like teen spirit. It does. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of nasty. Back when I was a teenager when this, no, I can't say that. Shout out to Nirvana for my childhood. Thanks, guys. Great, great album. One of the best engineered, great sound. I actually listened to it a couple weeks ago for the first time in years. It sounds great. We're forth talking about Gen X jazz pianists. So it really has nothing to do with smells like Teen Spirit. although... They're Gen X. Several of the jazz pianists that we're going to be talking about today have covered Nirvana songs, because it's from their childhood as well, as it is from ours. And so it makes sense, actually, that we would start with that. Yeah, and several of these pianos aren't even in Gen X. We're going to try to make some amends at the beginning. We got confused. We embarrass ourselves. Well, no. I mean, we do that every episode. We got confused because it turns out this generation thing is a farce. Well, it's not real. It's not real. It doesn't make any sense. And we got full disclosure. I don't know if we talked about this on the last episode. First of all we did we did what do we do millennials i don't even remember what the hell it is gen y is that gen y i think technically is gen y millennials yes yeah yet this is the crazy this is what you know i'm confused. Okay. Millennials, you would think, oh, somebody born in 2000 is a millennial. Some people say that's true. No, it's not true. My daughter's born in 2000. She's very adamant that she's not a millennial. She showed me various documentation. Gen Z? Gen Z. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, as are your children. maybe they're a little more steep My youngest might be this new one. I don't know. See, this is how we go down

the rabbit hole. Okay, that makes sense. Yeah, as are your children. Maybe they're a little more steep.

My youngest might be this new one. I don't know. See, this is how we go down the rapidola. Yeah, Janalfa. Gen Alpha. The whole thing, the only reason we are doing this is because we were going to do, you had an idea to do the seven greatest jazz pianists of all time. Nope, not of all time, of every generation. No, but before that, remember?

Oh, yeah, that's true.

Yeah.

Sorry.

And, um... That's true. of all time. Nope. Not of all time. Of every generation. No, but before that, remember?

Oh, yeah, that's true.

Yeah. Sorry. That's true. We quickly realized there was no way that's going to work. So we said, why don't we break it down by decade or by generation? So it seemed like a good idea, but we got caught in a quagmire, a veritable rabbit hole. Yeah. A,

well, we made some assumptions,

which, you know...

A sticky wicket.
