In each episode of this podcast we will attempt to tackle one classic jazz standard, discussing the history, theory, and overall appreciation of the song; and by the end of each episode we will, for better or worse, perform our own take. We’ll be talking about our experiences as musicians, the triumphs and challenges we have overcome or continue to face in the world of music. We hope to bring you interviews with experts and feature performances by distinguished guests. We’ll also tap into our own local scene to keep you plugged into what’s going on and music to watch out for.

Tune in as we try and wrap our brains around Woody Shaw’s 1965 composition, Zoltan, and then walk the tightrope of attempting to perform it.

Episode 23 - Watermelon Man
We’ve unearthed a time capsule from March 2020 and inside was a massive Jazz Imposters episode. That’s right, the lost episode has finally been published in all its glory. The crew invite local Albuquerque bassist extraordinaire, Donny Tesso, to help tackle the tune Watermelon Man by the legend, Herbie Hancock. What a way to kick this podcast back into gear!
