0:00.0	This is Adam Manus, and I'm Peter Martin.
0:26.1	And you're listening to the You'll Hear at podcast.
0:28.5	Daily Jazz advice coming at you.
0:42.8	Today we're going to talk about the worst parts of jazz.
0:43.4	Oh my God.
0:46.8	I hope this is like a list of 70 because I have tons for this.
0:49.3	Well, you know, I mean, this is a daily podcast.
0:54.0	And we, you know, most days we're talking about fun practice techniques and good things, but, you know,
0:54.6	inevitably, we're going to make it today 100 or whatever we're on. Now, disclaimer, we love jazz.
1:00.0	We are professional jazz musicians. We love this music. We love the community. We just did a whole
1:04.6	episode about how great it is to meet other jazz musicians around the world and fans of the music,

2:02.8	thing. And then if we don't feel like we've got the credit we deserve, we have to get it to get it out of you.
2:09.1	Right. How do I sound? And then I mean, I've heard some of our greatest, you know, leaders and

2:19.3	basically lecturing to the audience in advance, like we're not, like, you know, just to congratulate
2:24.6	the art form, not even themselves. I mean, I think most jazz musicians are actually very humble
