    Episode Twelve - Mystery Mike

    ** You can stream all of the music from this episode at www.mrhaircut.org/podcast ** Who is the man with no haircut? We haven’t a name for this one. This one slides through the universe with no haircut at all; slipping, squeezing through tight, funky spaces; inside the pocket, outside the harmony, implying chord changes where only diatonicism existed before. For the purposes of podcast, we shall call this one: Michael Kinchen. Michael joins your super podcast team Jahn and Jo’Nathan to talk about jazz, improvisation, and vocoders. This episode is brought to you by our proud sponsors at CorpCo® “Where Corp is Our Way of Saying Hello!” Jonathan Greene, drums John Daniel Ray, bass Michael Kinchen, keyboards Produced by John Daniel Ray ©2019 Mr. Haircut

    Episode 9.5 - The Void Between Real Episodes

    ** You can stream all of the music from this episode at www.mrhaircut.org/podcast ** Yes, it’s been a while since we’ve released an episode, but we’ve got lots of excuses! Just listen to the variety and voracity of our excuses. Jonathan had this one excuse that was so avoidant that it brought tears to my eyes, and I daresay I’ve had a number of truly stunning excuses in the past few weeks, excuses that would make certain politicians blush and excuse themselves. This is a filler episode, just so you don’t forget about your friends Mr. Haircut. John and Jon discuss a few new projects we’re working on and we bring you, once again, Tidal Motion for your listening pleasure. Check it out for free on the podcast, or download it from your favorite music-listening service. Love, John
