Speaker 1: this episode talking about it, and we'll talk about it

33
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: a lot, I think. But I actually met Robert for

34
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: the first time when I was fifteen years old in Denton,

35
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: Texas at Jazz Camp, Jazz.

36
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 3: Summer Camp, Jazz Camp at Jazz Camp.

37
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Have a story a podcast. I do have a story

38
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 1: like that, but not for the podcast. But yeah, it

39
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 1: was so awesome thinking about knowing Robert at that time

40
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: and we were just babies, you know, and it's just

41
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,799
Speaker 1: so sweet. And we've we've actually, you know, seen each

42
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: other over the years. We've recorded a song together, I've

43
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: sat in with him a couple of times at shows,

44
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: but we've never gotten to sit down and hang like this.

45
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: So this is this was such a special thing for me.

46
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: This episode felt like a high school reunion in a bottle,

47
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 3: you know, just like just hearing all the names of

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: people that you both grew up with and were in

49
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,839
Speaker 3: spy by people who were just you know, a couple

50
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: of years older than you, but you looked up to.

51
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: And I feel like maybe really set the foundation for

52
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 3: the path that you ended up being on. And even

53
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: though you both you and Robert had different paths, you

54
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: crossed paths and you know, kind of connected in different ways.

55
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 3: It's it's so fun to hear like the journey that

56
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: he's been on since then.

57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 1: He's in, his journey has been incredible. And it's definitely

58
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: a shout out episode. So I think we have to

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 1: tag everybody that's in this episode.

60
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 5: Sohow we will?

61
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, because there's there must be like one hundred hundred names,

62
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: so many names talk about. We talk about a lot

63
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: of special people in this episode.

64
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: So many connections. I mean, I feel like this episode

65
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 3: was like just longing to happen, you know, and then

66
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: when you started playing music, it felt like you could

67
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 3: just play a hundred songs and not run out. You know.

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish, I wish we had more time, but

69
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: this was a long episode, so we decided to make

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: it a two parter.

71
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought you're gonna go low.

72
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,520
Speaker 1: Okay, let's start it. So we decided to make it.

73
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 5: A two part.

74
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 3: Should like an echo?

75
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, okay, and we should keep this part into

76
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: no this is this is not cool? Okay, all right,

77
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,720
Speaker 1: So please enjoy this episode. It's a little shorter than

78
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: normal because it's going to be a two parter overaller

79
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,919
Speaker 1: but worth it. Worth it, and then be sure to

80

Speaker 1: I only got to meet him once. Yeah, but I

240
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 1: used to like I was obsessed with this record of

241
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: his in high school and I learned a lot from listening.

242
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 8: Of course.

243
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 6: I mean, he's the person when people ask me, he's

244
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 6: one of my biggest influence influences because he came to

245
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 6: my high school to do a clinic and that was

246
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 6: my first time seeing a young jazz band all black

247
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 6: wearing stuff I was wearing.

248
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 5: They were wearing jeans.

249
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't like wearing suits.

250
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 5: They weren't suits.

251
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 6: That's the first time I saw it, and I was like, oh,

252
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 6: I can be that because he looked like me.

253
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,440
Speaker 1: That's so cool.

254
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 6: Most of the time jazz musicians like like, I remember

255
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 6: I used to go to I used to go to UH.

256
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 6: I used to play with the Winton when I was

257
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 6: in college and we used to go to schools and play.

258
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 6: And I would always wear like dress and the wind

259
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 6: and win and then would wear the suits like how

260
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 6: do you But after the show, you know, all the

261
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 6: kids would run and make a.

262
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,119
Speaker 5: Line to talk to me because of your clothes.

263
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 6: Because I look like that, you know, because that's not

Speaker 6: put it to two and two together too, like, oh man,

265
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,360

Speaker 5: I grew up in church. Yep.

295
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 6: I grew up my first time playing in church with

00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 6: a small church and if it was somebody's birthday or

297
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 6: birthday month, the preacher will let me come up and

298
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 6: play Happy Birthday on the piano. And I learned that

299
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 6: with literally one finger Happy Birthday at eleven and then.

300
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 5: Throughout the years.

301
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: Because my mother was a minister of music at the church,

302
00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 6: so yeah, she was the choir director and everything. So

303
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 6: but during the week she sang in clubs and you know,

304
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 6: did like duo, piano, piano, voice, jazz standard stuff.

305
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 1: And she's singing clubs doing jazz, yeah.

00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 6: Jazz and Top forty and Broadway. She loved Liza Minelli

307
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 6: and it's amazing. I know, more Broadway things than ship

308

309
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

310
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,960
Speaker 6: So yeah, so just like all kinds of music, you know,

311
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,559
Speaker 6: coming up. But I learned how to play literally in church.

312
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,240
Speaker 6: They had like a broke organ in the corner. So

313
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 6: my mom was conducting the service. I was just learning

314
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 6: on that organ in the corner. Yeah, you know, and

315
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:12,480
Speaker 6: then I just got good just by that.

316
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: That's so cool.

317
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that.

318
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: I feel like that's similar to so many musicians I

319
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: know growing up and going to being at that school

320
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: in Dallas.

321
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:22,359
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

322
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, playing in church. I learned to sing in church

323
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: actually really yeah, but you know it was more Latin

324
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 1: kind of hymns and stuff.

325
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 5: Gotcha. The Catholic No, it wasn't, but the.

326
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: Choir director used to be Catholic.

327
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, because I played in the Catholic church too. Every

328
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 6: so on Saturdays, I played for a seven day Vanish church.

329
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 6: On Sunday. Early morning, I played at the Catholic church. Wow,

330
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 6: Sunday at eleven o'clock, I played at the Baptist church.

331
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 1: That's the best practice.

332
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 6: So every for the last two years of my life,

333
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 6: I played at three different churches three days a week.

334
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: That's amazing, you know.

335
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 6: And and all those churches had choir rehearsal, yeah during

336
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 6: the week, so I was in church all the time.

337
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: But that's such a great gig, and I.

338

Speaker 1: Well, those church gise.

00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 6: I know a lot of people that no church gise

342
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 6: play extremely well now, especially now now that it's cool

343
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 6: to be a touring musician and still have your church gig.

344
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 6: And now the pastors and stuff, they're like, yeah, my my,

345
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 6: my ms directors on tour.

346
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're cool letting out.

347
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:24,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

348
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 6: Before I did it too early, Like I started when

349
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 6: I got to Houston. When I got to New York

350
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 6: from Houston, my pastor in Houston knew a pastor in Harlem,

351
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 6: so I had a church gig immediately. And so when

352
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 6: I started playing there, everything was fine. But six months

353
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 6: in I started my friend Balau singer Ballow. We met

354
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 6: at college and we started working on his album. And

355
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 6: then like a year later he started touring and I

356
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 6: was going on tour and with him, and.

357
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 5: Like Christian McBride, I was on tour with and.

358
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 6: Roy and Roy and back then it wasn't cool yet.

359
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 6: It wasn't totally cool yet. They were like, you gotta

360
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 6: make a decision. You got to be here or go

361
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 6: on tour. Yeah, well, I love you God.

362
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: But uh, I love you God, but I'm going on tour.

363
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 5: I got to be out man. Yeah.

364
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 6: But now, like that's the thing everybody holds onto their church,

365
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: get subbered out till they get home.

366
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's it's big money there. Yeah.

367
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: Do you want to try a song?

368
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 5: Sure?

369
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Do you want to try that one since it's fresh,

370
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 1: or do you want to start with like let it

371
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 1: ride or something? What you want to do, It doesn't matter.

372
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 5: We'll try since it's fresh. Yeah, do it, let's do it.

373
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Well, So you did this on a live sort of

374
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: a live covers album.

375
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, So I did it at uh the Capitol Building.

376
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, yeah, I did it. And so what I

377
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 6: did was I had a bunch of couches brought into

378
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 6: the studio and I made it like a little club.

379
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: That's so cool.

380
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 6: And I had a full bar and had a bartender,

381
00:16:58,320 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 6: So I made the studio like a club.

382
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: I got that from Cannon by Idley, Oh yeah, he

383
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 5: did that.

384
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: Studio's a lot of live albums.

385
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 6: You hear some of those, specially back then. They were

386
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 6: actually in the studio because you want the live element,

387
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 6: but you don't want the sound of a live element sound,

388
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:16,440
Speaker 6: So you get the best of both worlds by just doing.

389
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 5: It in the stand.

390
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: That's idea.

391
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 5: Yeah.

392
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 6: So I had people come invite only at Couches and

393
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,000
Speaker 6: like you know, like I said, a full bar, boom, boom, boom,

394
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 6: and we just played two.

395
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 5: Sets a night like a show, like a like a

396
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 5: gig man.

397
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 6: So I did two sets boom boom, and then the

398
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,679
Speaker 6: next day I did two more sets, and then I

399
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,199
Speaker 6: just chose the best from each, you know, boom, and

400
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 6: that's that was the record. Yeah, you know, so it's

401
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 6: live live at Capital.

402
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: It's great.

403
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 6: Yeah. We did the reconder one of my favorite Radiohead tunes.

404
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: It is from in Rainbows, right, is it from Rainbows?

405
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 5: And I haven't played this since we recorded it.

406
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: I've never I've never done it, She's.

407
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 5: Never done it. So this is going to be fun.

408
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens. God, this is a good song.

409
00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 5: Oh man, it's so good.

410
00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:01,280
Speaker 1: And I can I can read the lyrics now, lyrics

411
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: it's hard to understand.

412
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: Sometimes given up on any lyric that James Brown, DeAngelo,

413
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 6: Tom Yorke, you can go down the list. I don't

414
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 6: know what y'all saying, but y'all are amazing. But I've

415
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 6: never known anything you've ever said.

416
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: But then when you actually read it and they're good,

417
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: it's like, wow, exactly.

418
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 6: Exactly, exactly exactly, it's a whole another thing on top.

419
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: Now my heart's beating fast.

420
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 5: You don't be really dope. I'm gonna try to maybe

421
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 5: keep a beat. What you know what I'm saying, mouth beats.

422
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 5: I like it, you know what I mean?

423
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: The whole time.

424
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know about the whole time because in

425
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 6: the middle of it kind of breaks up, it does

426
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 6: a thing.

427
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, but then when it goes back.

428
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: I'm excited, you know what I mean. You know what

429
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: I was thinking when I was listening to this, Yeah,

430
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: I would love to hear a gospel choir saying.

431
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 5: This, oh absolutely, oh my god.

432
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 1: Well it's got all those choral parts. But then like

433
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,280
Speaker 1: to have just the vibe a little different that absolutely

434
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: so beautiful. Absolutely do you want to do you have?

435
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 6: I don't know if I can. My breathing is going

436
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 6: to work for that might pass out. I just did

437
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 6: it for ten seconds just now.

438
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 1: I was like, well that sounded like, let's not do this.

439
00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 5: We have it. Yeah, we got it. We got it

440
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,359
Speaker 5: for sure, for sure.

441
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 9: I cannot.

442
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,600

478
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, I mean we're in a business where you know,

479
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,479
Speaker 6: you run across people who just aren't cool and not

480
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 6: you know, but there you have to deal with them.

481
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 5: Yeah, those are the people you didn't see. They were

482
00:25:58,480 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: in another section.

483
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: I did not see those.

484
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 5: So far.

485
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,000

486
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:11,800

487
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:15,240
Speaker 1: I've never met her before, and she felt like family.

488
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: I mean it's crazy. Absolutely, it's just so nice.

489
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.

Speaker 6: Yeah, Ercle came to mind. I had Ercle and I

493
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 6: had thel Hux.

494
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: Yes, you did. It was amazing. It was next to

495
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: our generation was just dying.

496
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 5: Oh my god.

497
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, yeah, it was so sweet.

498
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:38,920
Speaker 5: Yeah for sure.

499
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's cool your show is cool because you do

500
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: a lot of different things. Yeah, And I didn't realize

501
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: you sang so much.

502
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 5: I just started because you didn't.

503
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: Sing last time I saw you. No, No, that's a

504
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 1: new thing.

505
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 6: This is new because what happened was last year I

506
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 6: was on tour and my vocalist at the time, uh

507
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 6: fir my boyfriend, he got stripped through. It was the

508
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 6: last week, the last end of the tour. I was

509
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,119
Speaker 6: at the Blue Note. We had a week and he

510
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 6: got stripped through in the middle of the week and

511
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 6: so he was done, and I was like, man, we

512
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 6: were doing black radio songs. I was like, man, I

513
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 6: gotta try to sing one of these songs.

514
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you know.

515
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,560
Speaker 6: I was like, people know I'm not a singer, so

516
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,000
Speaker 6: it's not gonna take me too seriously. It's just for

517
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 6: the vibe.

518
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 5: So that's why I started, like, let me try one,

519
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 5: and it worked out that night. I was like, maybe

520
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:26,560
Speaker 5: the next thing I'll try to that's cool. Yeah.

521
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,520
Speaker 6: So then I just started kind of doing it more

522
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,120
Speaker 6: and more because I figured the more I just get

523
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,399
Speaker 6: used to it, the better i'll get, you know. And

524
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 6: I have like pedal stuff and stuff from tuning and

525
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 6: stuff and I'm still starting to figure like an figuration

526
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 6: out what may work the best. But the more I

527
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 6: do it, the better I think, you know what I mean,

528
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 6: just for something different.

529
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have a cool effect on your voice.

530
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, put that on there and trying to, you know,

531
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 6: make it interesting at some point because I'm not a singer,

532
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 6: so you're not you know, you don't want to hear

533
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 6: my tone?

534
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,879
Speaker 1: No, but you're not not a singer. I mean you

535
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: sounded you grew up singing.

536
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, but in church. I mean I just want to

537
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 5: sound decent for the VI. That's it. Decent and vibe it's.

538
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 1: Great and you get them out. But I think he

539
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: sounded great. It was really fun. I was like, oh crap,

540
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: should I have him sing something? If you want to

541
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 1: say something?

542
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 6: Yeah you use that, Yeah, yeah, have a little and

543
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 6: yeah absolutely absolutely.

544
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 1: Actually no, let's go back. Okay you wrote the song

545
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: and saying with Tip.

546
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, life is better, life is better?

547
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 1: Yes, you know I actually didn't know that right until recently.

548
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 5: Until recently.

549
00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:34,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, so q Tip was working on his album

550
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 6: The Renaissance, and I was there in the studio a

551
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 6: lot doing some of the joints and blah, blah blah.

552
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 6: And then I was like sitting there trying out something,

553
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 6: trying not to key. I might've been getting sound something,

554
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,000
Speaker 6: and I started playing the what became Life Is Better.

555
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 5: He was like what's that? And I was like, I

556
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 5: don't know. Just He's like, keep going, keep going.

557
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: That's great.

558
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:54,600
Speaker 6: So then we kind of cultivated and made it the thing,

559
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 6: and I had to leave town the next morning and

560
00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 6: we were sitting me and him were sitting around.

561
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,479
Speaker 5: He was like, oh, what should we deal with this?

562
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 5: And I was like, you should be like a singer

563
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 5: to sing a hook on it. And I was like,

564
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 5: Norah Jones.

565
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: You said it.

566
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 5: I said it.

567
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: Oh thank you, I said.

568
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 5: I was like, I can hear Noura on this. That

569
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 5: would be dope.

570
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 6: He's like, ah yeah, nahahs So he's like, oh yeah,

571
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,120
Speaker 6: that'd be dope. And then I got on the plane

572
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 6: and I think I went on tour or something.

573
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you weren't there.

574
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 6: I wasn't there. Then he hit me like yeah, no,

575
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:33,959
Speaker 6: I came through and killed it, and I was like, oh, absolutely, absolutely,

576
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 6: that's such a dope joint.

577
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 5: He's done. It's so cool man, so good. It's really

578
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 5: dope joint.

579
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: It's funny because I went in and I hadn't met

580
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 1: him before.

581
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 5: Oh really no, Yeah.

582
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 1: And I was excited. I was a little nervous, but

583
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: also I was kind of in those days. I was

584
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 1: super oblivious, like I was almost too oblivious to be

585
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: nervous a lot. And he had me sing this part

586
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 1: and he's like that fel but it was kind of

587
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: high for me. And I remember I said to him,

588
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: was like, it's a little high. I don't know, Kenna.

589
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,480
Speaker 1: He's like, no, it sounds great, just do it. It

590
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: was a really good lesson and don't don't pretend like

591
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: you can't do something until you go for it. Actually,

592
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: and it kind of made me learn that I could

593
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: sing Hi. It's weird.

594
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:17,959
Speaker 8: Yeah.

595
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 6: He made me play organ on not that song, but

596
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 6: the U song. I don't play organ. I'm not an

597
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 6: organ player. That's a different instrument. It is a whole different.

598
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: My husband's a good organ player. He learned playing in

599
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: a church.

600
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 6: There you go exactly. I learned playing at church. But

601
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 6: it was a broke organ, a cheap, small one, so

602
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 6: it's not even the real one.

603
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: It didn't take.

604
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: It didn't take at all.

605
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:43,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, So that song you is the first recording of

606
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 6: me playing an organ on any record. Oh cool, on

607
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 6: a real record, you know. And I told him I

608
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 6: didn't want to. I said, I know organists. Let me

609
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 6: let me call my boy I know, I know Cory Henry.

610
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 5: Let me call him. You know, yeah, I know guys

611
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 5: that are great. You know. He was like, Noah, you

612
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 5: can do it. Just just do it.

613
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: Exactly what happened to me.

614
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 6: That's why I brought it up, because I was like,

615
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 6: he made me. He literally was like, you could do it,

616
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 6: just do it. You can play orgon just play it.

617
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:08,720
Speaker 1: That's why he's such a great producer.

618
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 6: Exactly exactly he saw what he saw our limitations, what

619
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 6: we thought were limitations.

620
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it's not a limitation.

621
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: But that's the best.

622
00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 5: Absolutely.

623
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 7: Yeah.

624
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 6: So I was like, okay, so I played organ in

625
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 6: that song. I was like, Oh, I did do it.

626
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: That is so cool. I want to do this cutube song?

627
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 5: Sure? What?

628
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 6: Hey? What?

629
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 1: What what are these chords?

630
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 5: Because I know, I just I had to relearn them today.

631
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, because I actually I've always been like.

632
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 6: What is this because that happens to me. I'm so

633
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 6: much like that. I do sound checks or something and

634
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:42,800

701
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: think I was just like nervous and tight, and I

702
00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 1: was worried about how I looked, and I didn't know

703
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,120
Speaker 1: that they were going to blow it out like that

704
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 1: and it looks so cool, like my makeup didn't matter

705
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:49,880

Speaker 6: took my eye eyebrow ring out. I had an eyebrow

716
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:16,120

Speaker 6: my face right here and it pans out and I'm

719
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,440

720
00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 6: of vibed to my eyebrow ring. They didn't like, they

721
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,839

771
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 6: and everybody needed. Everybody wanted to be allowed to sink

772

Speaker 6: He's a big He's a backbone to that whole James Poyser,

799
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,760
Speaker 6: like the backbone to that whole neo soul movement.

800
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't realize how much he produced and.

801
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 5: Produced and you know, his style of playing.

802
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 6: I copped a lot from James's playing, you know what

803
00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 6: I mean, A lot of people don't even realize that.

804
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 5: But he too.

805
00:40:42,280 --> 00:40:43,879
Speaker 1: He played on one of my records.

806
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,359
Speaker 6: And yeah, he came with a style that didn't precede him.

807
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 6: Like no one plays like James, you know, and now

808
00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 6: they do. But he has a certain style that just

809
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 6: it was his own and every you kind of have

810
00:40:55,000 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 6: to play like that to play this genre. That that's

811
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 6: that's that's sort that sole genre. You to play like

812
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 6: James to make it work. And so that became a

813
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:04,359
Speaker 6: part of my style. But I was trying to show

814
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 6: me how to do it, and he was like, you

815
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,279
Speaker 6: you got to play like this, but it's not that,

816
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 6: but it's this, And I was like, what are you

817
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 6: talking about?

818
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,800
Speaker 1: Can you show me what you're talking about show me James,

819
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 1: I think I know.

820
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 6: But there's a song that Blouded called Sometimes and it's

821
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:20,400
Speaker 6: like a it's like a.

Speaker 6: Yeah, that that little yeah, those things. Yeah, those things.

826
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 6: I also copy it, yeah exactly, but in a way,

827
00:41:40,640 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 6: in a way, because you hear those things, you also

828
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 6: hear that kind of twang in country music.

829
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's not quite the same. It's a different

830
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: wilt exactly. Got like a different accent, it's.

831
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 6: A different accent, different vibe on the different yeah exactly.

832
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 6: But James has he cultivated that thing, and it's like

833
00:41:57,320 --> 00:42:00,320
Speaker 6: that's the thing behind so many of our other great songs.

834
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:00,680
Speaker 5: Of that time.

835
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:02,480

Speaker 3: Yeah.

838
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 6: James great songwriter too. Like I said, he wrote this

839
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:10,040
Speaker 6: song sometimes for Loud. I mean, he wrote so many

840
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 6: great songs. I didn't funny story I was when I

841
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 6: met you. When I was playing with the Roots of

842
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:18,600

843
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 6: of the Game. That's what's called Other Side of the Game,

844
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 6: so Erica. But song James is late coming to the rehearsal,

845
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,040
Speaker 6: so we're in the middle of playing that song, and

846
00:42:25,080 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 6: when he walked in, I was like, oh, the changes

847
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,440
Speaker 6: are He was like, oh, I think I think I

848

Speaker 1: it was Brian Blade on drums. And that was my

946
