163
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean it's not G thirteen, but I will

164
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: say that a good four to five hours is pretty much.

165
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: I don't know when these episodes are coming to be

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 2: or I don't know if it belongs to quality or

167
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: Dave owns the content. But dude, I told you that's

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 2: what he was doing. I told you it's about Yeah,

00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 2: it's at this rate, I think he has I know, Lie,

170
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 2: I think there's about forty hours of content.

171
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: Yo, Nicol were releasing our Dave Chappelle episode that no,

172
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, oh man, I'm just saying.

173
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: Well, it's not that's the thing.

174
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't think Dave has a platform, but this is

175
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 2: going to go somewhere someday.

176
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 1: But the last time I did it.

177
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 2: Last time it was a really good episode, like most

178
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: like basically each episode is most quality.

179
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: Dave like, they're the anchors. Those three are the anchors,

180
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:02,719

Speaker 1: Hattish and uh.

185
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: You know, but I will say that, yeah, and it's

186
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 2: it's it's not just what I won't say. It's not

187
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 2: just us. I don't want to say fluffing. No, it's

188
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: it's not it's us, Yeah, it's not. Yeah, it's actually

189
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: us holding people's feet to the fire. Like everything that

190
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 2: including an hour about you know, quality's situation with the

191
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: with social media and all that stuff.

192
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Like she got real.

193
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: So I don't know when or where it's coming or

194
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,679
Speaker 2: how it's coming or whatever.

195
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: But I mean, I mean, besides that Dave actually has

196
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: taken over his town.

197
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 2: I got to commend him, like he has the resources

198
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 2: and the Governor's blessing to.

199
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 3: You know, Ohio is very important.

200
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 4: Another an you know, the another is that I was asking,

201
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 4: especially in the election, it's very important.

202
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's Yeah, he's you know, he has medical

203
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: people on standby, he's testing, testing his audience, testing his guests.

204
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: And then once you do that, I mean you just yeah,

205
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 2: it's it's rather incredible. Well, that is nice for me

206
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 2: to go back a third time.

207
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: But I.

208
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 4: Also do hope that you'll figure out some other things

209
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: to do, like some things like similar to what Lebron

210
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 4: is doing. I know everybody doesn't have Lebron money, but

211
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: on some levels of opening up stadiums and figuring out

212
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: how we're going to get people out to vote and whatnot,

213
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 4: comfortable places and save spaces.

214
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: Anything that could help the cause.

215
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying outside of just some good conversation,

216
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 4: but I appreciate the conversation as well.

217
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 1: Well. All I can do on my end is raised money,

218
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: so I can.

219
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: Tell you tell them, and then you know, working out.

220
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm certain that that's on his mind. I mean

221
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 2: that that's been discussed. I don't know what his direct

222
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 2: plans are for November, but you know, right now I'm

223
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 2: a member of team. When we all vote, we're registering

224
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: about thirty seven thousand people every night.

225
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: DJ SU.

226
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 3: That's good.

227
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, just trying to it's a mystic.

228
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 4: We can win as long as we keep our heads

229
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 4: to the sky. This whole renewed sense of optimism is

230
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 4: what I feel.

231
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: Yes, No, I do have optimism. What I'm what I'm

232
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 2: more worried about. I mean, i'd be lying if I

233
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: didn't say that I was. I wasn't worried about the

234
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 2: transition period like November.

235
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 8: I'm actually getting out from November to January.

236
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: Win or lose, Like you know he wins, Yeah, November

237
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: to January as hell for the next four years as hell,

238
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: but lose you know, who knows what that transition will

239
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: be like for those three months borderline hoping that he

240
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 2: I predict that he's going to I realized you can

241
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: lose the presidency if you remove the.

242
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: Goalposts of the election day.

243
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 2: So if he moves the election day, then instantly Pelosi

244
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: becomes president. And so I think in his head it's

245
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 2: like I'd rather be removed than lose elections, right, So that's.

246
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: Going to be another that's another theory.

247
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: Oh my god, it's so saying that he yeah, he'll

248
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 2: plan it as the crats forced me out, and like,

249
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 2: so that's what I'm hoping for. But you know, of course,

250
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: that they follow the law, but they've been lolessed ninety

251
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 2: nine percent of the time.

252
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,280

00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,520
Speaker 7: that's exactly what you do.

318
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: Right.

319
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 9: I was doing my time where I was really fighting

320
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 9: against taking photos at the piano because every time I

321
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 9: took photos at the piano, I was like, that's corny.

322
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 1: I want to be away from the piano.

323
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 9: And that was during the time where I was like, nah,

324
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 9: I wanted to do other stuff and I didn't know

325
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 9: what to do, and it was weird photography.

326
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: This one.

327
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 2: This, I was like, this, right, is that one photographers

328
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: suggested the piano to you is like photographers telling the roots.

329
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: We gotta go out to the forest to take photos.

330
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: I have an idea we go up to the forest

331
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: or put shackles on your feet one of the two

332
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: roots exactly.

333
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 7: Take you next picture next to Alex Haley.

334
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: Where are you right now, Robert, I'm in LA. I'm

335
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,280

Speaker 9: Yeah, Well I always had an l A spot in

340
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 9: New York spot. But now I'm just here in l

341
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 9: A for a long period of time, so I'm pretty

342
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 9: much I'm pretty much here.

343
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,919
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna call this home. How long have

344
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 1: you lived out there?

345
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,360
Speaker 9: I had this place here for about four years, but

346
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 9: I've never really spent you know. You come in for

347
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 9: a week here and you know, but now I'm like

348
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 9: staying here, you know.

349
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,360
Speaker 2: So see, I always I always thought there was a stigma. Well,

350
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: you know, you are a serious musician, and I always

351
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 2: thought that LA had a stigma on serious musicians, Like

352
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: there's always been this cloud of sort of pretentiousness with

353
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: LA session musicians and LA jazz musicians, at least in

354
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: the sixties, seventies, eighties, and nineties. I don't know if

355
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 2: it's still yea, it has held over or not.

356
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 9: But you know, I mean, I don't. When I'm out here,

357
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 9: I'm not being a musician. Okay, when I'm out here,

358
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 9: I'm producing. I'm gonna film film, I'm scoring films, you

359
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 9: know what I mean. Like I always say, New York

360
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 9: is where you learn how to play, and then LA

361
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 9: is where you make money.

362
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 4: So that's why I moved out here one.

363
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: Per You know, I'm actually long overdue being here in LA.

364
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 5: Really, you know what I mean.

365
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: I should have been here ten years ago.

366
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, man, just for the opportunities of what I

367
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 9: want to do, because I'm not trying to be the

368
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 9: best jazz piano player in the world anymore. That's what

369
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 9: I've moved to New York to do. When I was

370
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 9: the high school, I said, I'm.

371
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: Going to New York.

372
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be the best jazz piano player.

373
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 9: And it was all about that, all about bigger musician

374
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 9: years we were there already.

375
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 1: I'm over that. Yeah, you.

376

Speaker 8: to be though, that's how it's supposed to be. I

378
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,439

494
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 8: up straight fallow. Look, we in the goddamn pandemic. I

495
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:51,359

00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:52,639
Speaker 7: I have to learn.

497
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,960
Speaker 8: Let me look, I'm clar I'm in a space where

498
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 8: I have to learn. The first like three four months

499
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 8: of this ship was just like what the fuck right?

500
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 8: So I had to learn how to create in this space.

501
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 8: I knew how to create in the old world when

502
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 8: we was out torn and moving around and bumping in

503
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 8: each other and all that shit.

504
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 7: I know how to feel that creative tank.

505
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 8: I had to learn how to feel that creative tank

506
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 8: in the space where we can't go.

507
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 7: No, fucking where. So now I'm waking up again.

508
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 8: I'm kind of finding it, you know what I mean,

509
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 8: I'm kind of finding a voice again.

Speaker 7: So now to everyone, to Robert Glass and everyone.

511
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:32,040

00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 8: black radio now because I know how to create. I'm

513
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,480

524
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: Okay, this might be my old age, but I'm under

525
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 2: the impression that you actually invented or pioneered.

526
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 1: D I wydeness when it comes as far as I know.

527
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:23,640
Speaker 2: You have an Apple on your phone that you do

528
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 2: the vocals on and then you just be sitting it

529
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 2: the motherfuckers.

530
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 5: Yeah.

531
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,360
Speaker 8: I mean when me and Nick did foreign exchange, Yeah,

532
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 8: that was kind of the first, you know, in terms

533
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 8: of I mean it was us doing it, and then

534
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 8: I think before that it was the postal service with

535
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 8: your boy from Deaf Cab, but they were actually sending

536
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 8: it through the mail. We were sending it just you know,

537
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 8: through I am. But even with then, I mean that

538
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 8: was still at the time where you know, the world

539
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,120
Speaker 8: was open, like we were going out, I was going

540
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 8: to doing shows and whatever. So the thing about now

541
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 8: is just creating in this part where I think people

542
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 8: are having most of the artists, my homies. I talked

543
00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 8: to the thing that the kind of prevalent feeling is

544
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 8: that we're still being held accountable or we're still being

545
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 8: held we're still accountable for the same we're still under

546
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 8: the same pressure, but we no longer have those things

547
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 8: we were able to do to release that pressure.

548
00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 7: So it's like you motherfucker still won't need it.

549
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 8: Damn rappidy rap rapidly saying and do all this ship,

550
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 8: But I can't go to the gym right where and

00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,080

555
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,960

600
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 9: mi a terist a building a studio right behind my

601
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,360
Speaker 9: house right here, like literally ten steps away. There's a

602
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 9: one apartment behind my crib and my landlord moved out

603
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 9: of there and we took it over and made it

604
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 9: the studio. So we'll be finished with that in like

605
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 9: two three weeks. So that'll be a place where we

606
00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 9: can like really go work, you know what I mean.

607
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 9: And so we've been doing that, and I've been.

608
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: About the noise.

609
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 9: No, you can't even they can't. It's separate. It's just

610
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 9: no neighbor. The way it is. My landlord had it.

611
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 9: My landlord had it built by and people from our church.

612
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 9: It's like all sement and it stands with its own.

613
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 9: It's like isolated.

614
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: Is dope. It's really dope.

615
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:13,240
Speaker 3: So okay, okay, I'm curious.

616
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yep, you know this is we we've known

617
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 2: each other for the longest, but we really have never

618
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 2: had an in depth conversation. And what I always no, no,

619
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: But the thing I was always curious about was that

620
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 2: I don't think it's same way that Philadelphia had its

621
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 2: renaissance in two thousand.

622
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I felt that Houston.

623
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: Had that same renaissance in two thousand and six, two

624
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 2: thousand and seven, you know, with all these musicians who

625
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 2: at the time, like what was going on in your

626
00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: high school, with all these musicians that were thinking left

627
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 2: of center, like what was what was in the air,

628
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:01,200
Speaker 2: like what was going on?

629
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 9: So the cool thing about my high school, which you know,

630
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 9: Art high school.

631
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 1: Is because you went to one of the best ones

632
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: in Philly, so you went to perform in art high school.

633
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 9: I want to perform in ours high school in Houston

634
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 9: High School for performing arts. And the cool thing about

635
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 9: my high school, which I think we might be the

636
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 9: only high school that did this. I'm pretty sure, or

637
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 9: maybe not. You can tell me if y'all did this.

638
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 9: My jazz director and not even just the jazz director

639
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,240
Speaker 9: in all the art areas, they hired teachers that didn't

640
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:33,840
Speaker 9: have degrees.

641
00:31:34,880 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: Wow. So our jazz cats that were teachers were just cats.

642
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 7: Wow. Yeah, they didn't.

643
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 1: Have degrees they design or purpose or yes.

644
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 9: Because the motherfuckers that have to degrees most of the time,

645
00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 9: you know. But the cats that are the cats, they're

646
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 9: just playing. They out there playing. So they was coming

647
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 9: to the school showing us what's hip right now because

648
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 9: they're out there playing right now. So the cats that

649
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 9: was over our jazz, our jazz classes, our jazz professor,

650
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 9: doctor Morgan had a degree, but he made it so

651
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 9: he would just hire different and sometimes we would see

652
00:32:13,800 --> 00:32:15,680
Speaker 9: one dude for three months, never see him again.

653
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 7: But he was dope. Yeah, but it was dope.

654
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 9: And what one of the cool things about us school

655
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,560
Speaker 9: also is we had a class period called listening.

656
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: You didn't play.

657
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 9: You came in and we had a CD player and

658
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 9: everybody in the class could bring anything they wanted to

659
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 9: and you just sat there and listened.

660
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: Damn.

661
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 9: And part of the problem with a lot of musicians

662
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 9: is they don't listen, and they don't know what to

663
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 9: listen to, and they just don't listen, you know.

664
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 1: What I mean.

665
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 9: And our jazz rector made a class called listen, so

666
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 9: I would bring stuff. It could be gospel, it could

667
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 9: be anything, and and and all the cats to bring stuff,

668
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 9: you know, every Mark Kelly, that's Mark about it.

669
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:02,960

898
00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:17,840

899
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,839

900
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 2: sucking up again. So Miles is sending for me. I

901
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 2: mean there's a typical that like Christian, you know, Elis

902
00:45:27,520 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 2: Marcellus come and take Christian now school for two weeks,

903
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 2: you know. So like basically they were they were the

904
00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,640
Speaker 2: young lions of my generation. But the thing was is

905
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:46,160
Speaker 2: that they were following traditional jazz right. And obviously I

906
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 2: guess my introduction to your world was via Blau. Yeah,

907
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,719
Speaker 2: and you know, and hearing Blau break every rule of

908
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 2: what song structure was, and I'm wondering, well, okay, and

909
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,759
Speaker 2: I asked, I was like, well, who's the who's the

910
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,280
Speaker 2: music version of you? Like who else is breaking the rules?

911
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 2: And then I met all of you guys in a

912
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 2: month or so, and I just never seen because I

913
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 2: knew you guys were seen as jazz musicians. But I

914
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:25,200
Speaker 2: was always wondering if whether or not you get embraced

915
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: by the jazz community, like would they let you play

916
00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 2: in reindeer games?

917
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:31,800
Speaker 1: Because you guys were.

918
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 2: Looking at the rule books and sort of just throwing

919
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 2: it out the window, like did you have to master it?

920
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: Like did you have to sneak in the house first

921
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,279
Speaker 2: and sort of talk their language and d and then

922
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:46,600
Speaker 2: hold them hostage once you eat at your power.

923
00:46:46,760 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 1: Like about that process, Klow, And you do that to that, well,

924
00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why.

925
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 9: I'll tell you why because when I got to the

Speaker 1: Club now because you know so and so, I think,

950
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 1: so you figure it out. But whatever we did, you

951
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:08,160
Speaker 1: remember what it was.

952
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,440
Speaker 9: I have no idea what it was. But when we

953
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 9: got off me and we we were, you know, you

954
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:20,200

955
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 1: Spoke a different language.

956
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 9: Immediately, And so we began working on stuff together. And

957
00:48:27,400 --> 00:48:29,839
Speaker 9: one of the president of the school at the time,

958
00:48:29,960 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 9: Arnie Lawrence, he passed away. He saw us and was like,

959
00:48:33,160 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 9: you two have something. Y'all should go in and work

960
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:37,720
Speaker 9: on a demo for Balau. And we were like okay.

961
00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,920
Speaker 9: So he said, my friend has a studio around the corner,

962
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 9: y'all can I talked to him already, y'all can go

963
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 9: over there and kind of come up with some stuff.

964
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 9: And his boy was Aaron Colemas.

965
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 8: Aaron spend doctors, fucking spin doctors.

966
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: Men believed this story. When told me, I'm like, who

967
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: were doing this?

968
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 9: He's and I was like what, Yeah, So we were

969
00:49:05,120 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 9: going over there after school every day just writing songs,

970
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 9: and yeah, a bunch of just jazz music is are

971
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 9: on the album because we didn't know anybody that played

972
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:14,080
Speaker 9: anything else.

973
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: We just knew the cats from the school. So that

974
00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:17,879
Speaker 1: was Queenham Sanity the demo.

975
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 9: Yeah, yes, me Quinny Sanity. Yeah, and y'all came just right.

976
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:25,160
Speaker 9: You and James came in there and redid it. Yeah,

977
00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 9: the drums.

978
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that was essentially when I when I heard that demo, man,

979
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 2: I you know again, I'm I'm happy to say that

980
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 2: my my my one record of the six demos I

981
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:44,200
Speaker 2: ever heard and listened to and became fans of, like

982
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 2: they all became like something in the world of course,

983
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 2: you know, Little Brothers, Jill Scott, Slum Village. But hearing

984
00:49:54,040 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 2: that beloved demo, I don't know how it came across.

985
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: I don't know who played it for me, whatever, but

986
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 1: I just I thought this person I remember you being about,

987
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, much much of my detriment.

988
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 2: If there's ever a recapping of the kind of Black

989
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 2: Lily Roots jam session story like in Oral History or whatever, uh,

990
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: my enthusiasm for wanting to work with belaw definitely made

991
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: moan to fuckers feel a certain way where, you know,

992
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 2: because I mean basically every.

993
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:36,560
Speaker 1: Everyone had a job at this thing.

994
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,040
Speaker 2: And it was more like, okay, I'm the money, you know,

Speaker 2: to the you know.

997
00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: And I would make appearances every now and then.

998
00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:51,040
Speaker 2: But it's like after working on you know, the stuff

999
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 2: at the Electric Lady and then coming back to do

1000

Speaker 9: time will ever go to Philly just a week and

1013
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:36,280

Speaker 1: Uh?

1015
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 2: Wetlands wetlands so seeing y'all play live, but I was

1016
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 2: always trying to get me to understand how to play

1017
00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:45,360
Speaker 2: y'all ship, and.

1018
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:47,479
Speaker 1: I didn't understand what the fuck he was talking about.

1019
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 1: He's like, you no like, yo, like play don't play

1020
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: it on? Play it off?

1021
00:51:53,480 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 5: What play like?

1022
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: You know how to play, but you don't know how

1023
00:51:57,960 --> 00:51:58,319
Speaker 1: to play?

1024
00:51:58,680 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 7: What you talking to?

1025
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 5: No nigga like like?

1026
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 9: And then I saw y'all live and I saw James

1027
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:11,080
Speaker 9: Poyser and I was like, so that made me. I

1028
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:13,120
Speaker 9: kept going back, and then he would let me sit

1029
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 9: in with you, yo, you will let me sit in

1030
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,799
Speaker 9: you know. I was like I was, I was jazz

1031
00:52:16,800 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 9: bread and I would sit in with y'all. And because

1032
00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:21,799
Speaker 9: of sitting in with you with the roots, that's how

1033
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:25,000
Speaker 9: I learned how to play that ship. I didn't I'd

1034
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 9: never heard it. I didn't understand what it was.

1035
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,440
Speaker 2: That's so weird to me because in my mind, you

1036
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:35,840
Speaker 2: and all your Hustonians just have another relationship with time,

1037
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:42,480
Speaker 2: with with meter in time that is beyond anything I've

1038
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 2: done or you know, dare I say at Dyla or whatever?

1039
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: Like I I just i'd never seen I mean, it's

1040
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,400
Speaker 2: like watching the animniacs run in the water tower, like

1041
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:55,960
Speaker 2: you know when you see them running and help the smooth.

1042
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: That's a crazy analogy, That's what I mean. Like, but

1043
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 2: what I want to know is how did you force

1044
00:53:07,120 --> 00:53:11,719
Speaker 2: the jazz world to your will? Because I don't think

1045
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:16,720
Speaker 2: that's I don't think that's an easy it's not task

1046
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:18,960
Speaker 2: like that's that's what.

1047
00:53:20,719 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 1: Well, here's the thing.

1048
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:25,920
Speaker 9: I always knew that I had to make sure that

1049
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 9: I could play jazz with the best of them before

1050
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,080
Speaker 9: I decided to do anything else, you know what I mean.

1051
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 9: I had to Like when Herbie played with Miles put

1052
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,360
Speaker 9: his first few albums out, there was no you couldn't

1053
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:40,040
Speaker 9: question Herb about ship, about can you play that?

1054
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: All?

1055
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:42,040
Speaker 6: That?

1056
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: That was always so litle five, There's no argument there.

1057
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 9: So when he did Headhunters, you cannot like it if

1058
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:51,040
Speaker 9: you want to, but you can't dispute him as a

1059
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,239
Speaker 9: jazz artist, you know what I mean, as a jazz

1060
00:53:53,280 --> 00:53:56,319
Speaker 9: piano player, especially being black, they're so quick to want

1061
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 9: to call you a hip hop piano player or R

1062
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 9: and B really quick to not want to give you

1063
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:05,239
Speaker 9: the title of that. So it was in my mind

1064
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 9: I was like, well, no, even when I before I

1065
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 9: got signed, I said, in my mind I knew I was.

1066
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 9: I want to do a few jazz albums first to

1067
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 9: shut these motherfuckers up, who are gonna be talking? And

1068
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 9: then I want to do my other ship.

1069
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 8: You know, like you reminded me of like the like

1070
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 8: Donald Bird. That's how I always kind of saw your

1071
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 8: career is like yeah, Donald Bird. But then you know,

1072
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 8: he did his thing.

1073
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,880
Speaker 7: But then when he got with the Moselle Brothers, it

1074
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:31,560
Speaker 7: just became you know something, yeah, for.

1075
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 1: Sure, exactly exactly, and that's my thing. I wanted to

1076
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:34,759
Speaker 1: make sure.

1077
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 9: So then when that happened, my thing was just grabbing

1078
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 9: all the young people because I felt like jazz whether

1079
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 9: for young people anymore.

1080
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:43,399
Speaker 1: And what made what made me get into jazz was Roy.

1081
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:49,480
Speaker 9: Roy came to my Roy Roy came to my school

1082
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 9: and when I was in eleventh grade, I'll never forget it.

1083
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 1: He went there too, right, No, he went to the one,

1084
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 1: and he.

1085
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,319
Speaker 9: In Dallas with Erica, He went to the he went

1086
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 9: to the book team Washington, Yeah, Norah Jones and the

1087
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:03,600
Speaker 9: whole thing.

1088
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:04,720
Speaker 1: So that was our rival.

1089
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:08,120
Speaker 9: We rivaled them off time for all state jazz competitions

1090
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,719
Speaker 9: and shit. So when Roy came to our school when

1091
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 9: I was in eleventh grade. He was already Warhard Grove

1092
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,440
Speaker 9: the album. So he came to the school and he

1093
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 9: had on like overalls and Tim's you know, and his

1094
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:23,400
Speaker 9: band was black.

1095
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:25,080
Speaker 1: I never seen that.

1096
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:29,440
Speaker 9: I have never seen five young black guys that look

1097
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 9: like me, dressed like me, talk like me up there

1098
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 9: playing jazz. That's never You never seen that, because when

1099
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 9: you're in school, the pictures of jazz is what they

1100
00:55:38,200 --> 00:55:39,719
Speaker 9: give you, and it's all in black and white, and

1101
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 9: it's everybody has them a suit and it's not you know,

1102
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:42,760
Speaker 9: it's nothing.

1103
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: It's nothing that has anything to do with you right now,

1104
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:46,040

1105
00:55:47,280 --> 00:55:50,920
Speaker 9: So Roy made He completely changed my whole shit. So

1106
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 9: that's literally why I am the way I am now

1107
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 9: because I feel like I'm killing the stereotype, you know

1108
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,880
Speaker 9: what I mean. I feel like when people look at me,

1109
00:55:58,080 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 9: a lot of times they don't know, they don't know

1110
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:01,399
Speaker 9: what the fuck I do, you know what I mean?

1111
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:03,480

Speaker 1: I would be outside, hang on, my friend. They walk

1115
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:10,640
Speaker 1: by me looking at me like, what are you doing here?

1116
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,880
Speaker 5: I'm like, well, actually.

1117
00:56:12,680 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 7: They're coming out of the right, you know.

1118
00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 1: But them people on the bus and a lot of.

1119
00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 5: That is like, you know, they don't know.

1120
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 9: They come to New York and get on the bus

1121
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,479
Speaker 9: and they take you to where somebody famous is playing,

1122
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 9: you know what I mean. But they look at me

1123
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 9: and my je's and my T shirt and it's like, oh,

1124
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 9: we if I was walking down the street, you think

1125
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 9: I'm a rapper or you think I'm whatever, you know

1126
00:56:29,880 --> 00:56:31,120
Speaker 9: what I'm saying. Don't think I'm about to hear and

1127
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:34,280
Speaker 9: play still Up by Starlight or actually play this piano

1128
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:35,759
Speaker 9: the way I do, you know what I mean. And

1129
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,200
Speaker 9: that's what I got, literally got that from Roy and

1130
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 9: that's what made kids. He inspired me so much because he.

1131
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 1: Looked like me.

1132
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,200
Speaker 9: So I was like, that's what I want to do,

1133
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 9: you know what I mean, I want to inspire the

1134
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 9: young cat. So I think when it came to the

1135
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 9: jazz world, I just ignored them and really went for

1136
00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 9: the young people, you know what I mean, but still

1137
00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 9: keeping the integrity of jazz, but making it to something

1138
00:56:56,680 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 9: where they they could identify with, you know what I mean.

1139
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 1: And that's a wow. The jazz bar couldn't deny it anymore.

1140
00:57:03,280 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 8: I think you have to do that though, because I think,

1141
00:57:05,160 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 8: you know, even like in all forms of music, you

1142
00:57:07,600 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 8: have to kind of, if not necessarily, appeal to the

1143
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 8: young people. You at least have to know how to

1144
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:15,600
Speaker 8: communicate with them, because they're the ones that's coming next.

1145
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:19,000
Speaker 8: So if you want your thing to live on, you

1146
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 8: gotta get the youngins so they can be it on,

1147
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:22,320
Speaker 8: you know what I mean?

1148
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:25,439
Speaker 4: Rapper in that conversation to like in a way where

1149
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:30,520

1164
00:58:26,400 --> 00:58:28,960

00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,840
Speaker 9: and Camassie Washington are doing? You know you did, but

1166
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 9: shot lafunk, what do you think about Robert Glasper's doing?

1167
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,520
Speaker 9: He said, well, you know, Jack Camosi, he's not a

1168
00:58:39,600 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 9: jazz he's not a jazz saxophone player.

1169
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 1: Just do him all the way over.

1170
00:58:44,280 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 9: Then he said, and Robert, I mean, I'm glad he's

1171
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,919
Speaker 9: doing what he's doing because he's he has delimited jazz

1172
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 9: vocabulary also, And then you ask him, he'll tell you

1173
00:58:55,920 --> 00:58:56,480
Speaker 9: the same thing.

1174
00:58:57,200 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 1: Those were literally his words, Si, Robert.

Speaker 1: What are you talking about? What are you talking about?

1179
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 7: Do you not know who you are?

1180
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: So?

1181
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,440
Speaker 8: So for the listener, if you have a limited jazz vocabulary,

1182
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 8: who hasn't unlimited?

1183
00:59:23,320 --> 00:59:24,560

1187
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: He They didn't even ask him that. That wasn't even

1188
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 1: the question. He didn't ask do you think they're jazz musicians.

1189
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 9: Or do you think what they're doing in jazz? They said,

1190
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 9: you did bust shot Lafunk. So they were literally speaking

1191
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 9: to crossing over and he took that time, took that

1192
00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 9: little platform to put us down instead of being like,

1193
00:59:52,520 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 9: oh well.

1194
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,720

00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm happy, but something used that.

1196
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 9: Don't use that platform to shoot down the two top

1197
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,240
Speaker 9: black instrumental jazz.

1198
01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Musicians that, you know what I mean, why would you

1199
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 1: do that?

1200
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,440
Speaker 3: Come on, brocom, what.

1201
01:00:09,480 --> 01:00:11,840
Speaker 2: Do you think is required? I mean, you know every

1202
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 2: genre has there and they were disrespecting Branford. You know,

1203
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 2: just there's always the grumpy will go out Branford.

1204
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:21,040
Speaker 1: I know he did that.

1205
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:25,240
Speaker 7: I love him, y'all. Have you have you seen him?

1206
01:00:25,280 --> 01:00:26,400
Speaker 7: Y'all ran into each other?

1207
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 9: No, but before he said that, I ran into him

1208
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 9: at the club. But we had dreams he was playing.

1209
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 9: I went to see him play. I had had a

1210
01:00:32,960 --> 01:00:33,880
Speaker 9: night off in Seattle.

1211
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: He was playing.

1212
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 9: Me and Chris and the few other people went down

1213
01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 9: there hung out. I'll always shown Brandford love. He's always

1214
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,920
Speaker 9: actually shown him. We've been cool every time I see him.

1215
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:42,439
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying.

1216
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: But I just felt like, why not he was gonna

1217
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:44,800
Speaker 1: say that?

1218
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 7: You could have said that to my face.

1219
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:47,920
Speaker 9: You could have been said that to my face, bro,

1220
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 9: no matter. In fact, I saw him at International Jazz Day.

1221
01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 9: I saw my International Jazz Day in Russia maybe two

1222
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 9: years ago something and that oh you know what, and

1223
01:00:57,040 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 9: we had a little oh you know figure.

1224
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 5: It's all coming.

1225
01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:07,040
Speaker 1: You know.

1226
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 9: You know that is like they bring in a bunch

1227
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 9: of jazz musicians and and and then they put it.

1228
01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 9: They put you in a different country every year and

1229
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 9: to promote jazz, you know, and you do a concert

1230
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 9: together and they break you up a little groups and

1231
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 9: you do like one song. So we did the Intertional

1232
01:01:24,520 --> 01:01:27,760
Speaker 9: Jazz Day thing and me and Brandford backstage is somebody

1233
01:01:27,920 --> 01:01:29,160
Speaker 9: came up and was like, so.

1234
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:33,680
Speaker 1: What do y'all think? What makes jazz jazz?

1235
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 9: And we're talking about it, you know, and Brandford said,

1236
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 9: the space between the quarter notes.

1237
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:42,920
Speaker 1: Okay.

1238
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 9: I was like, before it sounds, what do you mean

1239
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 9: the space between the like literally the space between the

1240
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:52,760
Speaker 9: quarter notes, like the space between them.

1241
01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 5: So I was like, the space between the court.

1242
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 9: So literally it's a mathematical thing like if you do

1243
01:01:59,320 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 9: this space this space recording does That's just we kind

1244
01:02:02,400 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 9: of got into a think about it because the answer

1245
01:02:04,800 --> 01:02:07,400
Speaker 9: he gave was like, come on, bro, like it sounds

1246
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 9: it sounded like witting.

1247
01:02:10,560 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: I mean, no one has the true aunt like the no,

1248
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 1: we don't.

1249
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,880
Speaker 2: But there's nerds like me that wanted a scientific definition,

1250
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:21,760
Speaker 2: and there's creatives like you that you know that will

1251
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 2: never have the right answer or whatever. Like I don't

1252
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 2: think any creative truly knows what the definition of what

1253
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: makes their art form tick, you know.

1254
01:02:31,600 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 5: Right.

1255
01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 9: But then but we're having to just a discussion and

1256
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 9: I'm like, yo, we start talking about tunes. I said,

1257
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,240
Speaker 9: so because this is not swing, we're talking about talk

1258
01:02:39,240 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 9: about rye symbol everything. And it was like, so you're

1259
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 9: you're you're now defining a whole genre by a rhythm.

1260
01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:47,680
Speaker 9: So because it doesn't ting today and ten to day,

1261
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 9: it's not jazz. So what's red clay?

1262
01:02:50,160 --> 01:02:51,880
Speaker 1: And he was like, not jazz? Right, I said, so

1263
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: red clay is not nigga. So this is this is

1264
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 1: trap versus real hip hop.

1265
01:02:56,720 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 7: I get this, this is versus long argument.

1266
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 5: I get it.

1267
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:08,440
Speaker 9: I get it for somebody, But for somebody who made

1268
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 9: by some of the funk, I just suspected something different.

1269
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 1: I expect a different answer. I just expect a different answer.

1270
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,440
Speaker 7: But that was, but again that was twenty six years ago.

1271
01:03:17,520 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 1: That was.

1272
01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 9: And look, even though Winton went and innovated the music

1273
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:25,160
Speaker 9: and then stopped, he did Black Codes and then stopped.

1274
01:03:26,600 --> 01:03:28,880

01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:28,040
Speaker 9: the platform and say ship, you know what I mean?

1409
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,479
Speaker 1: So I felt like or the power to station. And

1410
01:09:30,880 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: it wasn't me purposely coming at her.

1411
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:34,560
Speaker 5: It was just that's what it was.

1412
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,960
Speaker 1: And everything was truth, everything was fat, and everything's still happening.

1413
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:39,519
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

1414
01:09:39,600 --> 01:09:42,720
Speaker 3: So it's like you a whole gift to jazz in

1415
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:43,479
Speaker 3: so many ways.

1416
01:09:43,880 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, well look I'm here. I'm serious.

1417
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 5: I thought about this the other day. I was like,

1418
01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:49,320
Speaker 5: wouldn't it be.

1419
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,599
Speaker 7: Yeah, the government.

1420
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 9: I thought about that though, would if would if we

1421
01:10:07,400 --> 01:10:08,880
Speaker 9: got her on Black Radio three.

1422
01:10:09,760 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 2: Look man, it's twenty twenty and we're running out of

1423
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 2: space on our Bengo cards.

1424
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 5: You produced it.

1425
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:19,800
Speaker 1: What happened? You produced it? Listen? That would be crazy, bro,

1426
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:21,040
Speaker 1: it was y'all.

1427
01:10:21,040 --> 01:10:21,920
Speaker 3: Come up with it, your idea.

1428
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,280
Speaker 1: I'm down for it, yo.

1429
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 5: In a silly way, in a silly, weird way.

1430
01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 2: I feel like there's a possibility it could possibly happen.

1431
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:32,200
Speaker 9: I think it'd be dope. So I think it happen

1432
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 9: because as an artist, I have nothing against her. She's

1433
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 9: fucking looking credible.

1434
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:36,800
Speaker 3: You might have to extend your due date, but I

1435
01:10:36,880 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 3: think it could happen.

1436
01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:41,160
Speaker 9: One it'll be, Yeah, it'll definitely. It probably won't come

1437
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 9: out to a Black Radio.

1438
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 2: Nineteen but no, it'll be back to the theme of

1439
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:50,040
Speaker 2: the show, and I'll be optimism.

1440
01:10:54,920 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 3: You're renewed optimism. No, it's gonna get done. Noh, mirror,

1441
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 3: it's gonna get done.

1442
01:11:05,080 --> 01:11:08,759
Speaker 2: Listen as as a person that believes in manifesting positive

1443
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:09,640
Speaker 2: energy and.

1444
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:14,639
Speaker 1: Whatnot. Yes, we're gonna make it happen.

1445
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: I would love it, I will say, Lauren Hill, we

1446
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,840
Speaker 2: are officially putting out the Olive Branch.

1447
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1448
01:11:22,920 --> 01:11:26,680
Speaker 2: I think the better the world was better with our

1449
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 2: artistic contributions. It's needed in the world right now.

1450
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 5: So actually really is really is all right?

1451
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 7: So questions while we on optimism the Lauren jail. Yeah, oh,

1452
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:47,000
Speaker 7: I mean, if I'm still aloud, I got sixteen for you.

1453
01:11:53,120 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 8: Okay, optimistic as question, Brandy, and I want to ask

1454
01:12:02,400 --> 01:12:05,439
Speaker 8: you specifically, what is it like tracking her in the studio,

1455
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 8: tracking her vocals?

1456
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Probably Brandy might be the illest tracker I've ever seen.

1457
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:17,680
Speaker 9: It's incredible, bro, I've never seen nobody phase himself out.

1458
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 7: I was gonna ask you about that. I saw another interview.

1459
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 9: Three times in one in in the in the middle

1460
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:25,280
Speaker 9: of doing Optimistic, she phased herself out three times.

1461
01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:28,360
Speaker 1: That's how on top of her vocal she is with.

1462
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 9: That's how her vocal she is when she stacks her

1463
01:12:32,040 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 9: ship is so exactly alike that she fakes the computer

1464
01:12:35,560 --> 01:12:38,840
Speaker 9: out and it makes you think you're doing the same

1465
01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:39,559
Speaker 9: the track.

1466
01:12:39,400 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 5: Again or some ship.

1467
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 1: You're not. You know what I mean?

1468
01:12:41,520 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 9: Because most people, when you read you, when you sing

1469
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 9: something else and you sing it again, sing it again,

1470
01:12:45,439 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 9: let's stack it, there's always something different.

1471
01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 7: It's always an imperfection.

1472
01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:53,200
Speaker 9: Something and something. She's so dead on that ship. Phased

1473
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:56,200
Speaker 9: the fuck out three times from the.

1474
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,360
Speaker 2: Bread, from the breathing, from when she cut it off

1475
01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 2: where the vi bride will stop, like everything is incredible,

1476
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 2: and she.

1477
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 9: Don't leave the booth to the fucking shit's done. It

1478
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 9: ain't like she come out and listen and vibe. She's like, no,

1479
01:13:08,200 --> 01:13:09,639
Speaker 9: and she won't stop with the ideas.

1480
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: You have to stop her. No Brandy, no more vocal,

1481
01:13:12,120 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: no more stats, no harmony. Yeah, and she wants to

1482
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: get it.

1483
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 9: She's so enthusiastic about getting it right and just wanting

1484
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:23,679
Speaker 9: to try more and more ideas. She's not a lazy

1485
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 9: singer at all, you know what I mean. Like, it's

1486
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:28,800
Speaker 9: incredible work with her. Man, she has to be one

1487
01:13:28,840 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 9: of the nicest too, you know what I mean. Like

1488
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 9: even when I did when she was on my Black

1489
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:38,080
Speaker 9: Radio album before that, she paid for the studio time

1490
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 9: because she was late the other time or something like that.

1491
01:13:40,640 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 1: She couldn't make it, and she was like, yo, she

1492
01:13:43,120 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: paid for the studio time.

1493
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,680
Speaker 9: And she you know what I mean, I didn't even

Speaker 1: I was gonna to ask.

1838
01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 2: I think it's different for keyboard players now because of

1839
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,759
Speaker 2: the the advanced way that technology moves in your world,

1840
01:30:08,400 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: Whereas at least with me personally, like I'm not too

1841
01:30:12,320 --> 01:30:17,040
Speaker 2: interested in you know, like new drums, and you know,

1842
01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:19,559
Speaker 2: the company always be like, you know, these are special

1843
01:30:20,520 --> 01:30:23,080
Speaker 2: trees that we used in Japan to make it, you know, And.

1844
01:30:23,400 --> 01:30:25,840
Speaker 1: I always tell them like, give me this trashy he

1845
01:30:26,439 --> 01:30:28,839
Speaker 1: the high school set. It's all in your touch anyway.

1846
01:30:28,880 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 1: It's all your touch anyway. Right.

1847
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:35,080
Speaker 2: So as far as being a are you a gear

1848
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:39,800
Speaker 2: head or are you just using the same.

1849
01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:44,400
Speaker 9: I am not, you know what, because when people were

1850
01:30:44,439 --> 01:30:47,960
Speaker 9: doing gear ship, I was just practicing on being really

1851
01:30:47,960 --> 01:30:48,719
Speaker 9: good at the piano.

1852
01:30:50,200 --> 01:30:50,760
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

1853
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 9: I've never because my whole thing was always acoustic piano.

1854
01:30:54,640 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 9: So that's been my thing for such a long time.

1855
01:30:58,280 --> 01:31:00,960
Speaker 9: Even when I got signed a Blue Note piano trio,

1856
01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:02,639
Speaker 9: shit acoustic piano.

1857
01:31:02,720 --> 01:31:05,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't even keyboards. Yeah, I wasn't even using keyboards

1858
01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 1: for a while.

1859
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:08,559
Speaker 9: They're putting piano acoustic pianos and clubs for me because

1860
01:31:08,560 --> 01:31:10,680
Speaker 9: I didn't want to play jazz clubs anymore. I want

1861
01:31:10,720 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 9: to play cool shit hip hop venues and shit like that.

1862
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,000
Speaker 9: And I was trying to get grand pianos in there.

1863
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:18,160
Speaker 9: So Stein would put pianos in there for me and Ship,

1864
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 9: but a lot of times that sound would be fucked up.

1865
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:21,960
Speaker 9: It wouldn't sound good, you know what I mean. And

1866
01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,200
Speaker 9: so I like, okay, let me get the key let

1867
01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,599
Speaker 9: me do the keyboard thing. But I've never really been

1868
01:31:27,120 --> 01:31:30,360
Speaker 9: a gearhead at all. People think I am for some reason,

1869
01:31:30,680 --> 01:31:32,080
Speaker 9: but to.

1870
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 7: Me it always seemed like I think that's the gearhead thing.

1871
01:31:34,840 --> 01:31:37,280
Speaker 8: Is more so for people who think of themselves as

1872
01:31:37,400 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 8: producers first or right, you always kind of seem like

1873
01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:43,280
Speaker 8: a player, you know, primarily.

1874
01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:45,599
Speaker 9: Yeah, I know we need strings. I know a string

1875
01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:47,479
Speaker 9: player that can do that, like we did when we

1876
01:31:47,600 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 9: fucking did the twice. You know, A mir wasn't like, YO,

1877
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 9: pull up some strings sounds he called some cellos and violins,

1878
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:56,280
Speaker 9: you know what I mean.

1879
01:31:56,600 --> 01:31:58,400
Speaker 1: We know those guys. We don't need the patch.

1880
01:31:58,680 --> 01:31:59,240
Speaker 5: I know them.

1881
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:02,120
Speaker 9: I'm always that to you know, and all the patches

1882
01:32:02,160 --> 01:32:04,479
Speaker 9: that're like, but it sounds real. This one sounds realer

1883
01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,080
Speaker 9: than that one. I'm like, I know real people people,

1884
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 9: but I would imagine.

1885
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:17,080
Speaker 3: Now, keep a musician's employed. That's dope.

1886
01:32:17,560 --> 01:32:20,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, And obviously obviously you got to tap into it

1887
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:24,720
Speaker 9: a little bit, because you can't just get musicians like

1888
01:32:24,840 --> 01:32:27,680
Speaker 9: this anymore, especially now. So that's why now I've been

1889
01:32:27,760 --> 01:32:31,280
Speaker 9: even tappingto it, tapping into just sounds and getting all

1890
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 9: the plug ins and stuff like that, even even if

1891
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,599
Speaker 9: it's for demo demo's sake, you know what I mean.

1892
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:38,920
Speaker 9: I'll do stuff like that, but I'm just such a

1893
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 9: live person.

1894
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,680
Speaker 1: That's just my thing, you know. I would imagine, like

1895
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:46,759
Speaker 1: you know, I'll say, like maybe what Steve.

1896
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:50,280
Speaker 2: Like once every four months, the rolling guy comes in

1897
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:54,240
Speaker 2: with new toys and whatnot, and we're like, oh, it's

1898
01:32:54,439 --> 01:32:56,040
Speaker 2: like Christmas all over again.

1899
01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:57,479
Speaker 1: Like I'm certain that.

01:33:43,040 --> 01:33:45,360

1919
01:33:54,800 --> 01:33:57,360
Speaker 9: They're great. I have to stop them from giving me shit.

1920
01:33:57,400 --> 01:33:57,960
Speaker 9: You're right, I do.

1921
01:34:00,160 --> 01:34:01,920
Speaker 1: It's yeah, how many? Well?

1922
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 2: The thing is is that when keyboards are manufactured and

1923
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,200
Speaker 2: they put all those patches inside of one thing, like,

1924
01:34:09,360 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 2: does it matter how much product they make?

1925
01:34:11,479 --> 01:34:15,280
Speaker 1: Like, isn't it just the same version of basically?

1926
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:20,439
Speaker 9: But for me, what interested me in keyboards initially too,

1927
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 9: was because I started needing to use a keyboard on

1928
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:25,040
Speaker 9: the road when I was playing my shows, and I

1929
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:29,040
Speaker 9: needed something that felt good, that felt close to a

1930
01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,720
Speaker 9: piano as possible, and that sounded as close to a

1931
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:34,200
Speaker 9: piano as possible. So that's what I became interested in

1932
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 9: plugins and interested in different keyboards because you know, but

1933
01:34:38,720 --> 01:34:40,840
Speaker 9: so the one I have now, the one I use now,

1934
01:34:40,920 --> 01:34:45,840
Speaker 9: the Chronos, feels the best when it comes to me

1935
01:34:46,080 --> 01:34:48,000
Speaker 9: having to get around like that, you know what I mean,

1936
01:34:48,120 --> 01:34:50,400
Speaker 9: like really get around. So for me it was always

1937
01:34:50,439 --> 01:34:54,000
Speaker 9: that what felt the best, you know, because at my shows, yeah,

1938
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 9: I use a piano and I always have a Fender

1939
01:34:56,320 --> 01:34:59,560
Speaker 9: roads and then I have something on top, you know,

1940
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:02,080
Speaker 9: I'm kind of like I have a smaller crogos on

1941
01:35:02,160 --> 01:35:04,200
Speaker 9: top for my extra little sounds here and now. For

1942
01:35:04,240 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 9: for years I didn't have to do a lot of

1943
01:35:06,120 --> 01:35:08,240
Speaker 9: sounds because I had Casey Benjamin, he had a million

1944
01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:09,200
Speaker 9: sounds and this ship.

1945
01:35:09,320 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 8: Right right right, Yeah, I remember we did that gig

1946
01:35:12,960 --> 01:35:17,280
Speaker 8: at that sound was a rouge ands ago and he

01:35:27,160 --> 01:35:27,560
Speaker 3: I'm just not.

1953
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 9: I'm not really interested in a lot of sounds. I

1954
01:35:31,080 --> 01:35:33,840
Speaker 9: like piano, I like roads, like a few leads and

1955
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:36,040
Speaker 9: a pad every now and then. But I like to

1956
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:37,920
Speaker 9: you know, I know those guys who are great at

1957
01:35:37,960 --> 01:35:40,639
Speaker 9: those sounds, and not even hire those guys to come

1958
01:35:40,720 --> 01:35:41,240

Speaker 5: Hey, you want to make some sounds?

Speaker 5: First.

1990
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:53,400
Speaker 1: I was already doing the score for the movie.

1991
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:57,519

Speaker 1: Was already in the middle of the movie.

1993
01:36:59,040 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 9: And then Sony hit me up about doing that doing

1994
01:37:02,280 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 9: the because it was about to be his ninetieth birthday

1995
01:37:04,680 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 9: or something.

1996
01:37:05,120 --> 01:37:08,000
Speaker 1: I think at that time it's gonna be his ninetieth birthday.

1997
01:37:08,000 --> 01:37:08,800
Speaker 1: And they were like, we want to do.

1998
01:37:08,800 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 9: A remix album, blah blah, and I was like, I'll

1999
01:37:11,439 --> 01:37:13,080
Speaker 9: only do it if it's I don't want to do

2000
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:15,200
Speaker 9: a remix album, Like I'm not interested in putting some

2001
01:37:15,320 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 9: Miles trumpets over hip hop, you know what I mean,

2002
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:18,720
Speaker 9: Like that's been done.

2003
01:37:18,720 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 1: I want to do that.

2004
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,000
Speaker 9: I said, the only way I'll do it is if

2005
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 9: you let me in the vault and let me take

2006
01:37:23,360 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 9: what I want. And they were like, okay, So they

2007
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:29,600
Speaker 9: gave me eight hours.

2008
01:37:32,520 --> 01:37:33,000
Speaker 7: In the vault.

2009
01:37:33,760 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: Man, eight hours of the vault.

2010
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:37,439
Speaker 7: Well, I thought you been eight hours to do the album.

2011
01:37:37,439 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 5: I was like, God, damn no, no, no, they gave

2012
01:37:39,560 --> 01:37:40,679
Speaker 5: me eight hours of the vault.

2013
01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:45,800
Speaker 1: That's way too little, way too little.

2014
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 2: I took as much as I possibly could in that

2015
01:37:49,080 --> 01:37:50,879
Speaker 2: time because they didn't want to let me in the vault.

2016
01:37:50,920 --> 01:37:52,280
Speaker 1: Originally, you know what I'm saying.

2017
01:37:52,520 --> 01:37:54,560
Speaker 9: But it was like a back and forth from my

2018
01:37:54,640 --> 01:37:57,160
Speaker 9: people there people, and then they finally like, okay, we'll

2019
01:37:57,200 --> 01:37:58,000
Speaker 9: give you eight hours.

2020
01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:01,400

01:38:18,640 --> 01:38:19,360
Speaker 1: you talking about? No?

2028
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 5: P three? Ship?

2029
01:38:20,960 --> 01:38:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah?

2030
01:38:21,320 --> 01:38:21,559
Speaker 4: I did.

2031
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:23,720
Speaker 1: I brought my hard drive in and they were just like,

2032
01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:25,720
Speaker 1: take what you want? What do you want to pull up?

2033
01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:25,840
Speaker 4: Now?

2034
01:38:25,840 --> 01:38:27,880
Speaker 1: What I'm gonna pull up now? But uh, you know

2035
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:33,000
Speaker 1: some digitized and some stuff was to track what you

2036
01:38:33,040 --> 01:38:34,720
Speaker 1: can't do much with. But then they had ship that

2037
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 1: was like eight tracks, and I really wanted him cursing out.

2038
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:43,880
Speaker 5: I got so much I got Yeah, I got that.

2039
01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 1: I got him.

2040
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,800
Speaker 9: I got him talking ship, cussing out, talking to Ron

2041
01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:50,639
Speaker 9: Carter when he was trying to learn from them jazz dance.

2042
01:38:52,439 --> 01:38:54,920
Speaker 1: But wait, did I share this previously?

2043
01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:59,120
Speaker 2: On another I found out something that I don't think

2044
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:00,519
Speaker 2: the jazz world is aware of.

2045
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:03,480
Speaker 1: What I was recently told.

2046
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 2: By a lot of jazz I had to ask at

2047
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:10,920
Speaker 2: least six of them. I did not realize that Ron

2048
01:39:11,040 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 2: Carter does not know how to solo good. So someone

2049
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:23,080
Speaker 2: someone brought this up to me when I was asking my, my, my, other,

2050
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 2: my older jazz heads about stuff, and to them, they're

2051
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:32,599
Speaker 2: baffled that one of the most iconic hip hop samples

2052
01:39:33,200 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 2: and they're referencing the mccourteimer sample for the Choices Yours

2053
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:44,519
Speaker 2: with Ron Carter, and Ron Carter is on base doing that,

2054
01:39:44,800 --> 01:39:48,720
Speaker 2: and I guess the the whole thing is that they're

2055
01:39:48,800 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 2: laughing at the irony that the world's worst soloists. And

2056
01:39:55,680 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 2: I was like last for me right now, They're like no, no, no,

2057
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:02,000
Speaker 2: no no, Ron's a perfect foundation for music. But if

2058
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:05,600
Speaker 2: you notice he Miles never gave him a solo or

2059
01:40:05,720 --> 01:40:07,720
Speaker 2: any of his records. And I was like, I don't

2060
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,439
Speaker 2: believe his ship. And then I went back and for

2061
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:15,960
Speaker 2: a whole month listening to every Miles Davis, couldn't find one.

2062
01:40:16,439 --> 01:40:20,040
Speaker 1: If anything, it was just walking solo. If there was one,

2063
01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:20,600
Speaker 1: it was.

2064
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:22,640
Speaker 5: Just was one like there was.

2065
01:40:23,400 --> 01:40:27,040
Speaker 2: He was there just as foundations, I exactly. And then

2066
01:40:27,080 --> 01:40:28,600
Speaker 2: when I was like, wait a minute, why is that so?

2067
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 2: Because Ron Carter is just like he's like, no, this

2068
01:40:31,360 --> 01:40:35,320
Speaker 2: is y'all fault is. That's tribe, fault y'all. May y'all

2069
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:41,120
Speaker 2: may be worst musicihit in Miles Davids arsenal King and

2070
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm like this is blasphemy. But I didn't realize, like,

2071
01:40:45,240 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 2: how do you judge. Maybe I don't know, Like, how

2072
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,200
Speaker 2: do you know if a cat is real or not?

2073
01:40:53,080 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 9: Well, that's it depends on an instrument, because the reality

2074
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:58,080
Speaker 9: is no, most people don't want to hear based solo anyway.

2075
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:02,679
Speaker 1: Thank you, thank you, Christian McBride.

2076
01:41:03,040 --> 01:41:05,280
Speaker 9: You went to school with the most incredible bass soloist

2077
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 9: in the history of jazz music, so you have a

2078
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,880
Speaker 9: different outlook on it. But most people don't want to hear.

2079
01:41:09,960 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 1: So that's when you go to the bathroom.

2080
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:14,360
Speaker 5: Man all that that's the joke.

2081
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:19,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I now I believe that Chris is I

2082
01:41:19,439 --> 01:41:23,360
Speaker 2: mean next amingus, Like, I feel like Chris is the

2083
01:41:23,479 --> 01:41:24,439
Speaker 2: god of jazz bass.

2084
01:41:24,520 --> 01:41:25,639
Speaker 1: So maybe I am sported.

2085
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 9: But period, there has no never been a soloist like

2086
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:32,400
Speaker 9: Christian McBride. That's not even that's not even up for debate.

2087
01:41:32,800 --> 01:41:35,519
Speaker 9: There's not one person that's even close to it. Jazz

2088
01:41:35,600 --> 01:41:38,400
Speaker 9: based soloists like McBride is. No one gets around like that.

2089
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:39,040
Speaker 7: It's true.

2090
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:43,120
Speaker 9: No bass player makes other instruments scared to play after them,

2091
01:41:43,160 --> 01:41:47,640
Speaker 9: except Christian McBride when they solo. I've had this conversation

2092
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:51,360
Speaker 9: with all everybody. He's the only bass player that when

2093
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:53,479
Speaker 9: he solos you're like, fuck, what what am I going

2094
01:41:53,560 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 9: to play? You know what I'm saying, Like most based,

2095
01:41:56,760 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 9: most basis stay in their base range and they don't

2096
01:41:59,720 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 9: have vocabulary. Because you don't, you don't get to work

2097
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:03,599
Speaker 9: out as much, you don't get to sol us much.

2098
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 9: You have the one based solo in a set at best.

2099
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Everybody else, that's what you do.

2100
01:42:09,479 --> 01:42:13,280
Speaker 2: Your job is just so without you, without you throwing

2101
01:42:13,720 --> 01:42:17,920
Speaker 2: your contemporaries under or your idols under. Yeah, but I

2102
01:42:18,200 --> 01:42:21,080
Speaker 2: always wanted like and this is where because comedians have

2103
01:42:21,160 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 2: a whole nother standard.

2104
01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:25,400
Speaker 1: I I guess I have a.

2105
01:42:26,880 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 2: You know, like when I criticize Kanye's patches, Yeah, you know,

2106
01:42:31,920 --> 01:42:33,080
Speaker 2: his drum patches or whatever.

2107
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:40,920
Speaker 1: And even Kanye him something now I feel like he'll

2108
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:41,200
Speaker 1: tell you.

2109
01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:48,320
Speaker 2: But it's just like, you know, I hear people just

2110
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:50,920
Speaker 2: dismiss it as like oh you have like dog with

2111
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 2: sole ears, like you hear something that we can't hear.

2112
01:42:53,040 --> 01:42:56,400
Speaker 2: But you know, like when I hear a producer, I

2113
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 2: could tell like based on there, you know, the way

2114
01:42:59,840 --> 01:43:02,680
Speaker 2: they they chop their their patches and what they use

2115
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:04,960
Speaker 2: and their arrangement and their tone and all that stuff.

2116
01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:07,839
Speaker 1: You know, stuff that I can hear that the average

2117
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:08,639
Speaker 1: person can't hear.

2118
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:13,679
Speaker 2: But yeah, how do you know, Like my dad would

2119
01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:16,240
Speaker 2: know how good a musician was based on how they

2120
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 2: play ballad.

2121
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:20,760
Speaker 1: He makes them play a ballot and he was like,

2122
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:21,880
Speaker 1: I can instantly.

2123
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,320
Speaker 2: Tell who is good and who's not good when you play,

2124
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 2: when you give them the easiest ship in the world

2125
01:43:26,439 --> 01:43:28,920
Speaker 2: to play and they fall apart in front of me.

2126
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 9: So yeah, no, that's a good one too. Especially as

2127
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 9: the piano player. When you play a ballad, you're exposed

2128
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:39,200
Speaker 9: because now it's it's really about your touch and there's

2129
01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:41,760
Speaker 9: the space there. So what how much knowledge do you

2130
01:43:41,840 --> 01:43:43,519
Speaker 9: have to fill up that space? What what can you

2131
01:43:43,560 --> 01:43:45,200
Speaker 9: do to fill up that space? A lot of people

2132
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:47,719
Speaker 9: feel and be tasteful about it. A lot of people

2133
01:43:47,800 --> 01:43:50,640
Speaker 9: feel like, especially piano players, they feel like when I

2134
01:43:50,720 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 9: go to ship like nam or stuff like that, a

2135
01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:54,120
Speaker 9: million piano players.

2136
01:43:54,120 --> 01:43:55,000
Speaker 1: Everybody's trying to play.

2137
01:43:56,479 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 5: I went on.

2138
01:43:57,080 --> 01:43:58,920
Speaker 1: I went twice in my life. I had to go

2139
01:43:59,000 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 1: over again. I did a thing for Corey just read recently.

2140
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:06,400
Speaker 1: I did a show there for Corey and so.

2141
01:44:08,320 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 9: It's yeah, you already know anyway, Yeah, everybody wants to

2142
01:44:12,080 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 9: play the fastest thing they possibly can giant steps or

2143
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:16,360
Speaker 9: some shit like that. And then when you play fast,

2144
01:44:16,439 --> 01:44:18,120
Speaker 9: you don't have to have touched, not about touch, not

2145
01:44:18,200 --> 01:44:20,240
Speaker 9: about this, not about that, and it goes by so

2146
01:44:20,360 --> 01:44:23,200
Speaker 9: fast and not paying attention. But with piano players you can,

2147
01:44:23,360 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 9: like I can sit down, I can see a piano

2148
01:44:24,960 --> 01:44:27,800
Speaker 9: player sit down, and in five seconds I can know

2149
01:44:27,880 --> 01:44:30,160
Speaker 9: what I'm about to hear. Sometimes I can do it

2150
01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:32,559
Speaker 9: just by your posture and what you while you hold

2151
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 9: your hands. A lot of times I can tell, okay,

2152
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,840
Speaker 9: you actually don't play jazz. You have to play church organ,

2153
01:44:38,680 --> 01:44:43,080
Speaker 9: but you're playing piano today. Like for instance, you see

2154
01:44:43,120 --> 01:44:45,559
Speaker 9: me play organ, you think I don't play keys because

2155
01:44:45,600 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 9: I suck at orgon. I know, I know Cheddrick Mitchell

2156
01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:51,840
Speaker 9: and Corey Henry and James Poison, these kinds of cats.

2157
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: I'm not an organ player. The technique it's a different.

2158
01:44:57,439 --> 01:45:00,599
Speaker 7: So that Corey does like that, you would.

2159
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:01,800
Speaker 1: Have to practice a lot to get to that.

2160
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:06,880
Speaker 9: When he plays chords, not lines is different. Like lines

2161
01:45:07,080 --> 01:45:08,880
Speaker 9: on organ are easy because the key is the plastic

2162
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 9: and there's no weight. A real piano has weight, so

2163
01:45:11,560 --> 01:45:13,840
Speaker 9: you could when you can tell somebody's real chops when

2164
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:15,599
Speaker 9: they play a piano, because that's when the weight's there,

2165
01:45:15,920 --> 01:45:19,639
Speaker 9: you know what I mean. Yeah, if you're slow on organ,

2166
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 9: you're I can't help you because it's a plastic key.

2167
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:24,680
Speaker 9: You just supposed to be fast, you know what I mean.

2168
01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 9: But core, Yeah, any organ player that is really good

2169
01:45:28,160 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 9: moving from chord to chord. It's a fucking spider technique.

2170
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:33,720
Speaker 9: Like everything has to be connected, and you voice things

2171
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:36,800
Speaker 9: different because you're used to having bass pedals, So your

2172
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 9: voicings up here are different. Piano players, are you not

2173
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:41,080
Speaker 9: used to having bass pedals? We have to play base here,

2174
01:45:41,360 --> 01:45:44,400
Speaker 9: so our voicings are different to make it full, because

2175
01:45:44,439 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 9: we have to make it fool here. Organ players have

2176
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 9: the pedals, so they're the just their their chord. The

2177
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:51,960
Speaker 9: structure of the chord is stuff be like what the

2178
01:45:52,120 --> 01:45:56,559
