You'll Hear It: Full Album Deep Dives with Jazz Musicians

by Peter Martin & Adam Maness

The best hang in music. Jazz pianists Adam Maness and Peter Martin break down the greatest albums of all time, track-by-track. Like Thriller, Kid A, Songs In the Key of Life, Aja, and Voodoo. They use their deep knowledge of music theory to uncover the hidden qualities that make music work - harmony, groove, composition and production - while demonstrating at the keys and playing isolated stems. Then, watch them perform their favorite track with our in-house band: One shot, one take. You'll never hear music the same way again. A video podcast from Open Studio, the #1 online jazz education platform.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

The more I listen, the more I hear it!! I love this podcast because I love music and I love being nerdy about it. This show has broadened my love and understanding specifically of jazz and its history. Consequently, it's gotten me to actually leave my apartment and check out live jazz in my city! Shout out Bop Stop in Cleveland, OH! Thank you guys! #gala

APupNamedTina · Sep 2025

My thanks to Peter and Adam for helping me understand my favorite music better and introducing me to more great music! in addition to enjoying your enthusiastic and skillful explanations, I so enjoy when y’all perform covers at the end of the show!

Boomer Music Lover!! · Jul 2025

I couldn’t be more happy to hear albums covered the way they are on this podcast. It’s something I’ve searched for quite some time. To also hear not pure jazz albums just made my day. All music is connected, and I appreciate the exploration of that .

Artfe8 · Jul 2025

This is the best music podcast hands down. Educational, warm and friendly - like hanging out with some musician buddies (who happen to be fantastic players).
