You're Pete.

Yep.

Are you equipped?

Equipped and minted.

Equipment.

All right.

I'm Adam Maness, and I'm Peter Martin, and you're listening to The You'll Here at podcast. Daily Jazz advice coming at you.

Coming at you today, today's episode is sponsored by the Oxford American.

The Oxford American is an amazing cultural resource that we're so happy to be our,

become our charter sponsor here on the You'll Hear podcast.

And we've heard from some of our listeners that have purchased descriptions,

that they're really digging it.

It really is.

The writing is incredible.

And the subject matter is, I think, incredibly applicable to what jazz musicians are trying to do, because it deals with a lot of roots music.

And when you're dealing with roots music from the perspective of great writers, who are, for the most part, from the South and who have been steeped in that culture, then it makes it even more special, even more like immersive.

Yes. And I think in this day and age of so much information flying around in every direction,

much of it good, much of it bad, to have a curated source for us to go to in a beautiful

package, beautiful physical package and online. I've been checking out there

online stuff lately on my iPad. I have an iPad mini from about 2001. I didn't know if you knew that.

Congratulations. Yeah, yeah. But, you know, to have this organization and the editors there that have

kind of curated the subject matter and the writers and it's just like you can go there and you don't have to think, wait, am I missing out on something? You're going to learn something. You're going to be entertained. And I think you're playing and your conception is going to be for the better. Agreed. So go to Oxfordamerican.org slash y-H-I. That's Oxfordamerican.org slash y-H-I, as in you'll hear it it and you can get some special deals. Yep. So today we're talking about equipment. Why are we talking about equipment? Well, because we have a question. We have actually a slew of questions because we solicited some last week. Do you remember that? I know you're usually like a real move on kind of guy. Yeah, yeah, I usually forget everything as soon as I say it.
