Master Teachers and Players

They say those that can’t do teach. Peter and Adam break that rule big time. Whether you’re a beginning or master jazz musician they have a tremendous amount to offer. They talk about the art and the artists and their hilarious rapport is always charming. 7 Stars!

Long time hang

I’ve been a peter martin watcher since his two minute piano things started, and was an early adopter of open studio. OS has changed my musical life, as good as the free YouTube content is, the OS content is about as good as you can find outside the university.

So I am totally bought into the OS Universe.

But these two are the icing on the cake, unapologetic music nerds with huge ears and commitment. Sometimes they are cringey, (aaawwwlll your music needs) but that’s true of most of my friends. And that’s kind of what it’s like, hanging with friends for an hour and getting some good wisdom/technique/ and vibes.

Bright moments! And we need them.

Thanks fellas. One thing to look at is how to have the right woman as part of the convo. Want to avoid over-bro.

Hang With Peter and Adam

Not the best jazz podcast. The best *music* podcast, period.

It’s like hanging out with two old friends, who just happen to have immense knowledge about piano, jazz harmony, and jazz in general.

These guys really have their You’ll Hear It stuff together.
