| 0:19.1 | Daily jazz advice coming at you. Every day? Every day. Well, we are thinking about taking weekends off. I think we, I think we're going to have to eventually. Yeah. But, you know, everyone needs a little vacation. Well, today, no matter what day of the week, this happens to fall on, we're going to be talking about our seven favorite jazz musician cameos on non-jazz albums. Is that too long of a title? Could you say that again? Our seven favorite jazz musician cameos on non-jazz albums. Yeah. I mean, I get it, but wow, that's really wordy. You're such a word smith. Well, thank you. Well, we'll just, we'll dive in, and I think you'll get the idea of it. I'll take your word for it. Word up. You'll hear it. That's right. |
| 0:37.7 | Okay. a wordsmith. Well, thank you. Well, we'll just, we'll dive in, and I think you'll get the idea of it. I'll take your word for it. Word up. You'll hear it. That's right. |
| 0:57.9 | Okay, so number one on my seven favorite jazz musician cameos on non-jazz albums is Herbie Hancock's |
| 1:04.9 | awesome roads playing on Stevie Wonder's As. Oh, yeah. This is from Songs in the Key of Life. |
| 1:11.6 | This is one of my favorite Stevie tunes, although there's literally dozens, if not |
| 1:16.4 | hundreds of favorite Stevie tunes. |
| 1:18.1 | But Herbie, he doesn't actually, he plays a little bit of a solo, maybe eight bars or |
| 1:22.4 | something, but it's like the stuff he's doing around Stevie. |
| 1:25.3 | He does some Herbie stuff on that. |
| 1:29.3 | I remember that. Herbie's got the Herbie stuff down. On the roads. He's on the roads. On the roads. It's so herbie-ish. That's a great track. Yeah, it's really, really cool. Good, good stuff. All right, well, number two, I'm just thinking about Stevie Wonder then. there's, you know, to me, the most famous one for a jazz solo, because it's trumpet, is Disney Gillespie on Do I Do. Yeah. Like the Herbie one on As, I didn't know that until way later that that was Herbie. You have to kind of look it up. Yeah. But my sister was like big Stevie Wonder fan, and she's three years older than me. And so when Do I Do |
| 2:02.0 | I Do It came out and I think Do I Do was on Musicquarium, which was like the sort of best up with some new tracks. |
| 2:03.7 | Yeah. If it wasn't on that, it was like right around that time. So I was pretty young and kind of listen to pop music. It was on the radio. And Do I Do was played a lot. It was a big hit, but they cut off. Most of the stations would cut it off before it got, because it was like three and a half minutes, four minutes, whatever. And then there's this great Dizzy Gillespie solo and Stevie kind of says like, you know, play Dizzy. And I think he even mentions his name. Yeah, he says like, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, exactly. And but you never heard that on the radio, and so you had to get, like, the, the, the, |
| 2:36.8 | the side going. But it's a great, dizzy solo. I mean, man, his sound on there, and he's, like, right in the groove and... I mean, Stevie Wonder is basically a jazz musician, right? Basically, I mean, I've seen Stevie Wonder play giant steps several times. well. |
| 2:30.7 | I mean, |
| 2:31.0 | he's basically |
| 2:31.7 | just invented |
| 2:32.4 | his own |
| 2:33.3 | genre of jazz |
