This is Adam Manus.

And I'm Peter Martin.

And you're listening to the You'll Hear a podcast.

Daily jazz advice coming at you.

Today we're going to ask a burning user question.

If you could play just one tune, what would it be? Why would anybody ask this question? Well, is this kind of like the, you're stuck on a desert island? You can only play one song? You can only bring one song? You could only bring one song. I might quit music, man. Well, hey, we don't make the questions questions, but we answer it. You'll hear it. No, that's cool. It's cool. So I'm going to go with OneNote Samba. Are you kidding? By Jobi. Antonio College. So you want to go insane then. Oh, wait. This is one, two, not one note. Okay. No, so I'm not going to go with that. I think, you know, I think I'd probably go with, can we name a couple and then pick at the end? Let's do that. That'll be more. We're going to narrow it down because I don't want to be, because I was going to say all the things you are. Yeah. But I don't think that's going to be my final answer. Remember the show when it was like, is that your final answer? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

But, I mean,'t think that's going to be my final answer.

Remember the show when it was like, is that your final answer? Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, I mean, I think it's a fun tune to play, and I think you can develop a lot as you play on it. It's not necessarily my favorite song, but I do enjoy playing it. Got a lot of history with it, a lot of good memories with it, I guess. This is not sounding

like a real interest in my mind. But I mean, you're not passionate about it already, and you're

not even on the island yet, dude. I know. Well, you know what? My non-final answer,

all the things you are. I'm hoping you're going to say something that's going to like,

well, so if I may, I would like to not choose a tune, but a form, the blues.

If I only had one tune to play, I would... Let me read our user's question again. If you could play just one... I know what the question says. Okay, so this is not your final answer because it's not even an accurate answer. Well, but I mean, we're not playing the tune, the head of the tune over and over and over. So maybe take the cold train, which is an F blues, you know, because, you know, it's a blues. You got, that's true. You got all that

stuff to work with. I guess that's what I was thinking about with all the things you are. I like

the form and the changes. I'm thinking about improvising over it a lot, which would be,

which would be interesting, right? Yeah. Now let's get to the important parts, tunes that we would not choose. Oh, tunes that we would not want to do? Yeah. If there's one tune, you could, if you could not, yeah, ones that you wouldn't bring on the island. Rhythm changes. I mean, I know it's like, it's just whatever, but I just, if I could never play the rhythm. Do you really more about forms than twos? There's a disconnect here with how this works. Yeah, I know. I'm not really, sorry, Elliot. If you could play just one form, what would it be? That's tomorrow's episode. Ballads. No, so if, man, if I couldn't.

Balsanova.

No, you know what?

If there was one tune that I, if the question is, is there one tune that you wish you

never had to play again, it would be there is no greater love.

Yeah, that's stale.

Yeah, I mean, if I went my whole life without ever having to play that at a jam session or having someone call it on a gig, pick up gig ever again, I would be very happy. And it's not a bad tune. I mean, I almost feel bad agreeing. Is it not a bad tune? Well, I was thinking, like, you know, what is this thing called love? Oh. That's another one. If I never played that again, I would be fine with that.
