Yo, Adam.

Yo, what's up?

Is this swinging?

I mean, I think kind of, but let's ask NPR's Steve Inskeep, Rachel Martin, and Noel King.

Ooh.

Yeah. I'm Adam Manus.

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

You're listening to the You'll Hear It podcast. Oh, music advice coming after you. You got it, buddy. You know what's funny about that intro, Peter. I know you were trying kind of not to swing. Oh, I wasn't just trying. I was achieving. No, I mean, but the thing is, is for most people's standards, it was kind of swinging. Well, then they need to tune into the rest of this episode.

I know.

Because we're about to put to the test some science put out there by NPR because that was not swinging.

Not from a spiritual, emotional, rhythmic, or scientific standpoint.

You had it on your face, like a poker face.

This is not swinging.

But it is, and this is not a flex. It's going to sound like it. But it is hard for me to not swing because it doesn't feel good. It doesn't sound good. And it's weird, right?

I think, is, and this is not to say that, like, jazz is swing and it's supposed to be from this

period, but that is one of the important and interesting grooves that I think that we

infuse our music with and connect with the music as that kind of layer, that rhythmic layer.

And it's just a fun part of the music. So to not do it is not fun. It's not fun. So we're,

yeah, we're referencing this really great story that NPR put out a few weeks ago about the science of swing. Like,

what makes things swing? It's a question we get all the time here at Open Studios. We're trying to

teach swing. Right. And our stock answer is like, you know, really, swing is kind of a vibe.
