| 0:00.0 | What's happening? Welcome to Wong Nodes podcast. I'm your host, Corey Wong. I'm fresh off the high of Newport Jazz Fest right now. I'm not going to lie. I just got back from Newport Jazz. Had a little double header with the Cory Wong band and then also Fearless Flyers. It was a blast. Then afterwards, I got asked to play at the donors and fundraising gala thing. |
| 0:26.7 | They're like, oh, yeah, there's a house trio. |
| 0:28.7 | Antonio Sanchez on drums, Christian McBride on bass, Sullivan Forner on piano. |

| 1:13.3 | that I really look up to. |
| 1:15.5 | Today on the podcast, we got Derek Trucks. |

| 1:20.9 | Today on the podcast, we have Derek Trucks. |
| 1:26.2 | My goodness. |
| 1:27.4 | I can't believe it. |
| 1:28.8 | Derek Trucks is insane. |
