Hey, Peter.

Hey, are you feeling dogmatic today? I'm feeling Manus.

And you're listening to You'll Hear It.

A podcast about listening and playing music better.

Now, why are we getting so dogmatic today?

Well, because this is kind of a holdover question from 2019.

And it, my recollection is, well, first of all, we've already recorded this episode. But the quality control here is so high that we're redoing this. We're not going to release the original episode because we lost some of the files, actually. You know, we're going to blame that one on the pod cave. We're going to blame it on the pod cave. In the move over here, some things didn't make it. But we're happy to kind of go through this again. And in the pod suite. In the pod suite. Yeah. But the question, as I recall, we're going to listen to it again here because this is when the speak pipe was still on, kind of demanded a dogmatic answer, right? Wouldn't you say? That's the only reason. We don't just wake up in the morning dog, well, yeah, we do. No, you definitely do. No, but I mean, I think that this kind of led to a little bit.

The question's about dogma, so let's take a listen. Hello, Peter and Adam. My name is

Tomek and I'm from Poland. Tell me how the most popular chord progression was created in Stella by Starlight,

which is played on Gem Sessions and Real Book,

and why nobody plays original chords from Victoria Young.

Thank you.

All right, so that's Tomic.

Thank you, Tomic.

And I think what he's talking about is the first couple bars of Stella by Starlight.

If you don't know the tune, you should, probably.

But it starts with this E half-diminished.

Right?

And the original changes, as I understand them, are instead of E-half-diminish to A-7, it's B-flat diminish.

Which makes sense, actually. It does make sense. And so he's asking why. Why do jazz musicians play that E half-diminished the A-7?

Because me no like-e.

Well, no, that's actually a pretty valid answer because I think the E-half-diminished A-7.
