I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adam Manus, and you're listening to the You'll Hear It podcast.

Daily Jazz Advice coming at you. Coming at you right now, in fact, right? Yeah, immediately coming. Oh, we're here. We're back at it. Man, I missed you. Yeah, it's good to see you, man. I feel like we never do this anymore. That's right. So today we're going to talk about the current state of jazz. Oh, what is the current state of jazz exactly? Well, this is going to be

so current that it's going to become out of date tomorrow. So I'm glad you guys are listening to this when you are. Yeah, that's right. So we're going to like talk about who's playing where this weekend. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Well, I think, yeah, I mean the current state of jazz, perhaps we could at least expanded to this year, right? Sure.

If not this kind of era.

But what do you think about the current state of jazz?

I look at, too. I mean, I actually, you know,

you always hear some people talk about, you know, the horrible state of jazz or this is a bad

time, this is a bad year. Yeah. And I think that to me, there's always so much, so much more

interesting music that I hear about from reputable people that I haven't heard,

that I feel like I can't even keep up with enough of the good stuff.

Right.

You know, I mean, there doesn't have to be a, you know, Louis Armstrong Hot Fives recording,

something that's seminal every year.

There shouldn't be, you know, for an art form to flourish.

But, I mean, if you have, you know, great live performances, great recordings, great videos

now, just interesting things happening, especially like all around the world, to me, that's

a very exciting thing.

And that shows, you know, the, not only the tenacity of the music, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, you know, the, the, that's, you know, the, that's, that, that's, that's, where like, you know, it's never going to be

1959 again. Right. That's, that was that time, and this is a whole different thing. It's never going to be 1947. Like, it's never going to be 1965. It's never going to be 1978. Right. And those were all great eras, but we're living in a time now where it's like... Now 78. me.

That's all right.

Sunlight.

Herbie sunlight.
