Hey, Peter.

What's going on, my brother?

I'm Adam Manus.

You're listening to the You'll Hear a podcast.

Daily, your jazz advice coming at you

Okay we should not be singing

We are not but we are talking about singing

We're talking about singing today

The title of this episode is the good

The bad and the annoying

Musicians who sing what they play

And I was giving a tour of open Studio the other day to one of our... You opened up the studio. I opened up the studio to one of our members, Justin, who was in town and reached out. And it was great to meet. It's always great to meet. I didn't know we gave tours. We don't usually, but I was kind of in a good mood. I was in a, generous mood and Justin was very nice. And so we were talking about, I think we were talking about Keith Jarrett. Yeah. And he's like, you should do that on the podcast. You should do musicians who sing while they play. And I thought that was a great idea. So it's funny, too, because I feel like there's a spectrum of this, right? There's people who do it intentionally.

Yep. Yeah. So it's funny too because I feel like there's a spectrum of this, right?

There's people who do it intentionally. And then there's people who don't do it intentionally.

I think like Keith Jarrett kind of just happens.

As well as some, not just singing, but other vocalizations, you know, the groans.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That yeah, stuff, which is fun.

What I think from the, to the listener, from the listener standpoint, isn't there sort of a demarcation like a line between those that are singing and it's pleasurable to hear them singing,

whether they're on mic or it's just part of it, and those that sing in it can potentially be

annoying.

And I think that in the title that you've crafted, that might be the kind of thing. But you know what? I am not... Is it binary like that? I think, I don't know if it is, because I'm not as annoyed by this as everybody else seems to be. Even when players are making vocalizations not... It doesn't bother me if it's genuine. You know what I mean? I genuinely think. Keith Jared is receiving information from aliens. Yes. Yeah, yeah. Passing through his body out through his hands and it's, it's causing his vocal cords to vibrate. When he's talked about like he needs to do that to do, I mean, it's a very pretentious sounding thing if you're not as good as he is. Yeah. And if the product isn't as good.

I mean, it's just like anything.
