Hey Adam, what's the difference between a rooted voicing and a rude voicing?

0:05.3

One has the root in it and the other. It's kind of a jerk. I'm Adam Manus.

0:29.8

And you're listening to the You'll Hearer podcast.

0:31.3

Daily Jazz advice coming at you.

0:33.5

0:34.5

That was just, that was a terrible intro.

0:36.1

Like you threw me the ball.

1:10.9

Yeah. And I was in left field. And I was like, I got it. I dropped it. That was not funny, clever or. I don't think you dropped it. I literally just, I don't even think you caught it. I don't think you touched it. I didn't even run towards it. That was so half hard. But that shows the spontaneity of the Yule here podcast. You can't fake that terrible. We are totally off the cuff here. Imagine if it was scripted. That would be terrible. It would be even worse. Well, you know, we're obviously back in the pod cave. Good to see you again. You too.

incorporating the route, and when would be a good time to play a rootless voicing,

1:56.1

when would be a good time to play a voicing with the root and maybe the difference with that between maybe

2:03.2

solo piano and then a piano-based drums trio or maybe you're comping or soloing. So yeah,

2:11.3

if you guys could talk about that, that would be awesome. Again, I love the podcast and And yeah, thanks, guys.
