| 0:00.0 | Asher says just down there. |
| 0:16.8 | What's your approach to playing 65 to 68, |
| 0:18.9 | Wayne Short of tunes as compared to American Songbook standards? |
| 0:21.7 | Peter, you do a great version of Infanize. |
| 0:24.1 | And I'm wondering what your thoughts are. |
| 0:26.7 | When people say Wayne tunes, I think what they're really talking about is non-functional harmony, right? |
| 0:31.8 | These series of usually like major 9, minor 11, some major minor 7 stuff stuff right yeah that doesn't seem on the surface |
