I'm I'm Adamanus. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to The You'll Hear at Podcast. Music, Explored. Explored, brought today by Open Studio. Go to OpenSudiojazz.com for, oh, your jazz lesson needs. Peter, things are popping off over at Open Studio. I don't know if you know this, but we've got a bunch of new courses in the camera. We've got a new course coming from legend Larry Goldings. Yes. So anybody who's interested in those beautiful triads that Larry Goldings likes to play, we have a course coming on that. We've got a new course featuring you and I called Jazz Piano for the Bandstand, where we teach you how to play with other people on the bandstand from our two beautiful pianos over here. I prefer to use the alternate title for that course. Two bad MFs teach you how to live a musical life. But we didn't go with that. Marketing, can we change it, please? And then last but not least, we introduced our pathways to Open Studio just a couple months ago. So we have our jazz foundations pathway where I teach you the very

beginnings of jazz piano. The jazz piano expansions pathway where we talk to intermediate

players about how to expand their skills. And then, of course, you're the host of the jazz piano

method, which is our ongoing crown jewel pathway for advanced players.

That's a very nice way of just saying that I only know how to do the advanced stuff

because I somehow forgot everything on the way there. So I brought in smart cats like you. But yeah, it's great. And you're bearing the lead, as we say. We have a brand new platform. We do have a brand new, which is like a platter. It's like a digital platter in which the courses and pathways are stacked up. Yeah.

That thing is so fast, it actually loaded a page before I clicked on it.

How did it know what I was about to click? It's intuitive. Go to openstudiojazz.com. That's openstudiojazz.com for all your jazz lesson needs. Peter, it's a big day today. It is a big day. This is one of our most requested albums on the show. Does our audience skew fusion? Because if so, they're going to be happy. There's a pocket of our audience that is the fusion pocket. And they are there. They've got pockets on their pants. Whoa. He's covered it hot. I like it. But they want more pocket. They want more fusion pocket. And this is a classic jazz fusion album. I know the guys in Weather Report don't like that term. But I mean, when you think of Jazz Fusion, you think a weather report. Yeah. And I am very excited because, like I said, we've had a lot of comments, a lot of angry comments about... That we haven't done this. Why haven't you guys done heavy weather? And so today we're doing it, 1977's heavy weather. But before we get into heavy weather, people, yeah, yes. Start at the beginning. Just do it. So this band, Louis Armstrong, 1928, beginning of the recording industry. So it's New Orleans, 1916. No. A young Joe Zavala gets off the boat. So the beginning is of weather report, start with a very familiar name around here at the

You'll Hear podcast, Miles Davis.

Right.

So just before this was happening, Joe Zalvanol and Wayne Shorter, who had known each

other for years, but they had just played on together in a silent way and Biches Brew,

two enormous albums in the grand scheme of jazz history.

And I think you could say fusion history, too, although they aren't exactly fusion albums for sure. But they get together with a few other

musicians and they start this band, this project called Weather Report and they record a

self-titled album in 1971.

And it's not like the album we're about to listen to.

It sounds more like this.

Music That's Miroslav on the bass. Yeah.

Czechoslovakian at that time.

Bassmaster. Yeah. Czechoslovakian at that time. Bass master.

Yeah.
