After 5 full years of monthly episodes, Max and Josh are hanging up the microphones. This is our farewell episode where we wax nostalgic and recap how the podcast got started, the changes along the way, and some highlights of our extremely entertaining guests. Thank you so much for listening and hanging with us for the past half-decade. ❤️

In an absolute first, Max and Josh interview Ariel Calabria, a cymbal maker based down in Olympia. Tune in to hear how he not only hand-hammers cymbals, but also plays a sizable number of instruments!

Trumpeter Brennan Carter and trombonist Scott Flynn met playing in the horn section for ODESZA. Many years of playing together later, they've recently released Many Moons, a jazz record recorded right here in Seattle! Tune in to find out all about it!

It's almost October and that means it's Earshot Jazz Festival season! We've got a WHOLE MONTH of incredible jazz concerts jam packed throughout the entire month and this episode is just me and Max chatting about a few of the ones we're most excited about. Hope to see y'all out there!

Drummer Jerry Steinhilber is August's guest. Listen in to hear about his trio's unique compositional and arranging style! He's got a bunch of live performances in the Bellingham and Seattle area that should not be missed. Don't let this month's episode pass you by!

The fantastic pianist, keyboardist, and synth wizard Rob Homan is here this month. Join us as we learn all about the veritable force that is High Pulp, fresh off a multi-week nationwide tour. We learned all about how the band got started, their latest record, Pursuit of Ends, and what's coming in the future. Check it out!
