Yo, Adam.

Yo, Peter.

Do you ever listen to an entire album, like a jazz album?

Not since I got my Spotify subscription.

What?

I'm Adam Mace. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll Hear at a podcast.

Daily Jazz Advice coming at you.

That's right. How's it going today, Pete?

Good, good. I'm excited about this topic.

Yeah, what's the topic today?

I don't know.

No, we're talking about our favorite...

We prepare very well. Yeah, no, our seven favorite complete albums. Yeah, I like this one too. This is a question on you'll hear it.com. I would say this is a lost art, but actually I have two albums on this list that are very recent. One's very recent. One's fairly recent. Yeah, and I think, I mean, I like, we were talking about this before. like I think that this list, well, first of all, just to be clear on this, these are albums that we both, either both love or individually love, that we love. The main thing, one of the main things that we love about it is the fact that you, there's value from beginning to end, which really is a lot of jazz albums. I would say more than many genres. It's a lot, but I think it's a special album that is not only quality from beginning to end, but is also, it tells a story from beginning to end. Because a lot of jazz albums are kind of thrown together in a day, and they were doing what they were doing on the bandstand. And that's cool because, you know, it's jazz and what's happening in the music is what's important. But some of these more conceptual albums are really

fun listeners to. You know, this comes from a listener, Juan, who says, I have a suggestion, if I may,

a full episode, or perhaps a series of episodes. Now, don't dare us one, because we'll do that.

Just on suggestions for albums to listen to, perhaps getting into some stuff that's not so obvious to find. I'm always digging deeper into music. So, you know, we could look at this as like, and this is kind of a little bit of things maybe you're not hip to. Well, I just realized you kind of projected with this. He didn't say anything about a complete album. Well, but you kind of form this to what Adam Manus wanted.

He says, projected with this. He didn't say anything about a complete album. Well, but he says... You kind of form this to what Adam Manus wanted. He says, he says this. I'm always digging deeper into music, and I think one of the best ways of evolving music is through really just stopping and listening to full albums and feeling the music. Sorry, I didn't read the full question. You're projecting onto me. Do you see how that turned around? That's right. No, so that sentence really sparked my thing of like, what are the albums that I keep coming back to full albums that I want to listen to from beginning to end? Well, and I think a big part of that, too, is, you know, I made a joke earlier, but I kind of, it's sort of true in that so many great jazz albums, what we were

considered great, like the band is great, the music's great, the players are great, the whole thing is actually a lot of value. It's not like, you know, people complain like, oh, I love such and such. I love Kelly Clarkson, but you only got one good tune on that out. But they're still happy with it. You hear a lot of jazz musicians say that. I love John Coltrane giant steps, but only giant steps.

The rest is crap.

Yeah, right.

But I think... But they're still happy with it. You hear a lot of jazz musicians say that day. I love John Coltrane, giant steps, but only giant steps.

The rest is crap.
