I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adam Manus. You're listening to the You'll Hear at podcast. Daily jazz advice coming at you. That's right. And so today is a day. So let's get some jazz advice coming at you. If it's a day, there's jazz advice coming at you for sure. That's right. Yeah, yeah. Welcome, everybody. We're very excited. Today, we have some YouTube live followers watching us for the first time. Yesterday, it was Facebook live. I was going to say we we are we're liven it out. We're liven and out wiring. We are we are live. We're jumping all over the plate. Maybe tomorrow we'll do

LinkedIn live. I was going to say, is this going to be a regular thing we're going to do? We're going to live stream. You know, if the people want it, we'll do it right now. That might be cool.

I mean, of course, this is still first and foremost audio podcast. That's our beloved fans,

and we'll always be there for you first. But we thought some people might want to see a little bit of behind the scenes. I mean, it's so professionally put together. I know everyone thinks there's a lot of trickery and editing, but we wanted to go live to show them how truly off the cuff this is. Well, also, we're just so beautiful. We are.

That we just thought it was a travesty.

That's right.

That's why we had it very darkly lit here. We've got plants covering us and stuff. You can't even see my face on this one. It's great. That's good. So what are we talking about today? So today we're going to go over seven of our favorite ballads. Oh good. I love ballads. Not six, not eight, but ballads.

And seven. We're sure about this? People like seven?

People like, people loving the seven so far.

Um, ballads. Oh good. I love ballads. Not six, not eight, but ballads. I'm seven. We're sure about this? People like seven. People like, people loving the seven so far.

Maybe I'll start it off. Is that cool? I was going to say at some point can we do like a best of like seven of our favorite seven lists that we've made? That's right.

The top seven.

Yeah.

That would be good.

Cool.

All right.

You got it.

Okay.

So I'm going to start out with sophisticated lady.

And this is... That would be good. Yeah. Yeah. That would be good. Cool. All right, you got it. Okay. So I'm going to start out with sophisticated lady.

And this is written, this is Duke Allington, right? Not Duke Gallington and Billy Strayhorn. I think this is solely Duke. Solely Duke Allington. Please let us know if we're wrong on that because that would be a huge error to start out. so I actually put this this one first, and I put it first for you because you kill this song.

Your version of this song is my all-time favorite. Oh, come on. I'm saying, man. It's like, it's ridiculous. Thank you so much. I mean, I love this. I mean, to me, this is one of the most masterful jazz ballads ever written.
