You'll Hear It - Podcast Rankings and reviews

Adam and Peter are preeminent players, teachers…and dare I say Jazz musicologists. As of late, the Open Studio team has really stepped up the quality and production value of their video content - highlighting tightly shot explainers, detailed transcriptions and slick how-to’s. For general interest musicians, there’s also interesting crossover into gospel, blues, pop and soul. Major props for the Open Studio platform - the best resource out there for Jazz.

Big thanks to Adam & Peter for the fantastic podcast. I wound up here by following the breadcrumbs of your binge-worthy Instagram Reels. I love how those look and sound, and how inviting the mini-lessons are. Instruction with vibe? Nice!

Anyway, the podcast episodes: I’ve been binging here too. I appreciate the joy you both bring to your conversations. That enthusiasm is infectious, and you’ve rekindled my love for jazz after many years listening to mostly indie-pop and folk.

I only have one request: Could we get some more of those transcription episodes like the one Peter did about a Miles’ solo? I just listened to that one today while grocery shopping. Staring at cilantro and ice cream sandwiches is much more interesting while breaking down licks. (Sorry Peter, I mean phrases).

If you love great music these podcasts are going to make you love, and understand, music much more deeply. Peter and Adam explain the details so well.

This is by far my favorite music podcast. It's always fascinating to listen to musicians talk about music. Peter and Adam are obviously great musicians, "You'll Hear It" (pun intended) in the always fantastic intro and outro jams. I learn something new about albums I have loved every time you discuss one. I have two requests. Can you please discuss the great Aretha Franklins Young, Gifted, and Black, and a playlist of your outro jams please.
