Peter, yes. Picture this. It's 2018. Oh, okay, bell bottoms, dad shoes. The Harlem Shake is all the range. That's right. Frank Sinatra is topping the charts.

A young Peter Martin walks into Open Studio headquarters and says, Adam, we're starting a daily podcast. Boom. Well, that part's true. And we started that day. That's right. And we've never looked back. Well, a couple times.

Probably should have. I'm Adam Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the 1,000th episode of the you'll hear a podcast. Daily jazz advice. Jazz coming at you. Two guys talking jazz. Two guys talking music. Music advice. What else have we said over there? Music. Explain. Music. Explain. Just two guys. My favorite is just all the times you were just like trying to remember. We were just gaslighting ourselves at that point. Yeah. So, so listener, you don't know and viewer on listeners. We have more

than one. Possibly. And the people on YouTube, you don't know this. But Peter, he, you don't know me. He changes the tagline just all the time. And the best part is he'll change it frequently and then frequently forget what he's changed it to. Well, that's a byproduct of often changing something. So he'll start, he'll often say the one that he didn't like that he wanted to change from. My squirrelish personality sometimes gets the best of me.

Squirrel. Sue me. Look, there's a squirrel. Doesn't this look beautiful? The sun is setting. Beautiful St. Louis. Over St. Louis, Missouri. Beautiful Grand Center.

flying by. Well, today is a very special day. It truly is. I mean, I don't want to overstate it, but I don't want to understand it. I want to hit it right. Let's state it. I just want to state it.

You know what I'm saying? A thousand episodes, a lot of podcasts, dare I say most, if I were to estimate, on a serious note now, that's my serious note, D. So I don't think most podcasts

make it to a thousand episodes. Dare I say about 2%. There's no way. 2.1%. There's no way. Science says 2.1% of podcasts make it to it. But we've made it as of today. If the dear listeners are watching and listening,

that means we made it to a thousand. So congratulations, Adam. Congratulations. And thank you guys to the listeners. Thank you, Adam. Thank you, Caleb. Thank you everybody at the Open Studio team who supported us during this run.

Thank you to our sponsors. Yeah. Of which all have fled us, but that's okay. They were there at different times. Big shout out to Oxford American, our title. Oh, G sponsor, but, no, this has been so much fun, and I can't wait to see where we're going to go next. Well, let's see where we've been before we make that call, before we say that we're going to go too far.

So let's look at some of our favorite moments. Okay, so we've pulled up a couple. We even did a little rehearsal today, which we don't normally do, which is fun. And we're going to start with, oh, we've got to paint a picture on this one, though, because the story, this is actually a great episode. This is five giant step hacks, steps hacks. What a hacky title. Is that correct? Five giant.

steps hacks. Yeah. That doesn't fall off the tongue easy. Five giant steps hacks. Five giant steps hacks. No, no, no. So this was, okay, so I think this was when we were recording several a day. Yeah.

So this was at the end of a day and we were already recorded a few at least. Right. And we were in the pod. Now you're going to see, we're going to revel in and memorialize several different locations that the pod has gone through. This was kind of what we called the pod sweep. The pod suite. But it was the modified pod suite.

with the COVID sneeze guard. We got that giant piece of plexiglass that you see there in the middle by the spinning thing. We've had a couple of different angles on the pod suite. We've had a couple of different angles here in the pod front as well.

That's right. We also had the pod cave and of course briefly the pod hall which we'll see a little bit later. But this was the pod suite and this was a day, like I said, towards the end of the day we'd already recorded several episodes

and we had the dumb idea to do five hacks on how to play giant steps and we thought, well, we got to start with a cold open. So let's trade on giant steps Our brains are pretty fried. Yes. And it's a hard tune.

Because you never heard it. We do like one decent. Like I remember the first take was decent. But we were like, no, we could do better. And it just got slowly worse. And worse. And so literally, I swear, listener, this is no exaggeration. Like probably 100 takes of this.

Like it was an hour of giant steps. And just the roller coaster of our motion. We got mad at ourselves. We got mad at each other. Yeah. We got mad at the listeners. Which clearly it wasn't their fault. Yeah, we got frustrated.

We got frustrated. Again. We got shameful. There was times where we were playing it great, but then the dialogue was stale, so we had to do it again. I feel like there was even a technical glitch at one point, too, where we like forgot to press record and had a good one. Caleb didn't. Caleb wasn't even in the picture. Oh, Caleb wasn't there.

Okay. Yeah, so this was a memorable one for us. And we all often refer to this, actually, when we start recording. If something's not going well, we'll give it one of those. That's like a trigger for it. And we know, like, okay, let's not get into that. Yeah. Well, let's check it out.

Because the amazing thing about it, it actually take 108 came out pretty good. Yeah. Yo, Adam. Yes. Check it. Oh, you mean like, you nailed that one.

Or maybe. Finally. That light of keyhole. Blue for me. Or how about like green for me? Oh. I feel like we even had a conversation after that one. That's not bad.

That's the one. That's right. So you can check out the whole. The whole episode's pretty good. The whole episode's pretty good. Because we felt so good after we nailed it. We were like, they were like,

we can't mess it up now. And ironic about that one is, you know, one of our, like, we've had episodes about, don't do multiple takes. Like three or four takes max

and then move on and we're not following our own rule and we get bit by it. That's right. That's right. Okay, so the next one is check this one out. See if this brings back to memories.

Mr. Manus. Oh, I remember that. This is, okay, the title of, of this is solo discussion, Lingus, Corey Henry. The original title, I don't know if you remember this, Adam, I do, was solo analysis. Boy, did we hear about that. We had to change it because

folks said, you're not analyzing, you're reacting. And you know what we said to them? You were correct about that. We are not. We didn't prepare for this. We just listened to it. So we was a total reaction. We're lucky that it doesn't say solo reaction, Lingus, because that's actually what it is. Exactly. So let's just check it out. I mean, we're kind of, I like the way Started, though. That's kind of cool. What's that? Is that Morse code you're sending me? No, it's snarky puppy.

I mean, this was unscripted. Yeah, they know. Okay. I'm Adam Menace. And I'm Peter Martin. You're listening to the Yule here at podcast. It was so cold, we had a blanket on the Kranek and Bach to keep it warm. Look at that.

So we used to have this at you. Coming at you with Tune Analysis Wednesday. The piano in the pod. Tune Analysis Wednesday. It was a whole feature. We don't even remember anymore. We had a fun. We had Feedback Friday.

We had Method Monday Cold Open Wednesdays Taco Tuesday No we never had that But we went through and just sort of talked We were reacting to it and having fun And I don't know I thought it was pretty good

But this is one of our most viewed And listen to episodes But it got a bunch of blowback on YouTube Not so much from our audio listeners But on the YouTube video Because you know YouTube folks They don't even know that we're a podcast They think we're a tutorial video only

And so even when we do Like an episode that's just you and I talking about things They're like too much talk It's like, you know, that's what the show. Yeah, more teaching less talking. The show is talking. You're watching the show right now.

Watching us bullshit our way through these subjects is the show. Unfortunately, that's the entertaining part. And so they were like, too much talking, not enough analyzing. And we were like, yeah, we know. But then when we started analyzing, they're like, no, not enough analyzing, too much reacting. Yeah, that's right. So we had to change the title of it. I'm glad we did.

Okay, next up, we had a very short, I mean, considering we, we had a thousand episodes. This was a very short-lived location. Oh, yeah. So this was the pothole and you're going to be able to hear it. Oh, this is some bad singing on my part too. I think this was the moment where I was like, you know what, I'm going to practice singing. Yeah, this was an unusual setup because I have a keyboard and you don't have a keyboard. I think it's the only episode like that. Because this was, I think, the first recording we did back from the pandemic. Right. I mean, this was still in the middle, in the middle of the lockdown. This was summer 2020. But now we're out in the main room of old open studio headquarters, which has like 40 foot high ceiling.

and we have the table going long ways. Right. We don't have the sneeze guard yet. Because we were like, oh, it's a big air. Remember when they were like, as long as there's a lot of air around? I'm sure we were still wiping down things, the surfaces of packages that were coming in.

I have for some reason, the large diaphragm mic that was on the piano. I don't have a keyboard because I had taken it to my house at that point for the pandemic. I think you took the microphone too. I believe I did. And sold it on eBay. And we're wearing headphones because we didn't have any speakers.

Hey, Adam. Yes. What you know about this? D-da-d-d-d-da-d-da-d-d-da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d. I can't do that. I can't even do that on the piano. D-Bo-D-da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d... That revert.

That revered. What was the name of this one? Well, this is what's weird about it. Four scales every jazz musician should know. Yeah. That intro would belie the title, I would say. Yeah, what scales are we talking about that? I don't know.

Should we go back and check a little bit out? a little bit. What are we talking about? The intro stayed the same. You just like the intro. The intro's good. Well, I like that you're singing, and there's a heavy reverb,

but I'm playing. It's just a very unique situation. I'm Adam Manus. And I'm Peter Martin. And you're listening to the You'll Hear podcast. Music advice coming at you back in the... Oh, you have the... Pod hall?

Did I just Christmas in that? Podhall. This is amazing. It's kind of amazing. Yeah, so we were separated for months of the... pandemic we were sheltering from home we were doing oh back when we thought the pandemic would be months yeah that's right but that was fun so a little bit of pod haul we're gonna keep things moving because you know that's how we do it um can i go can i just say look at the pod front

can go back to the main shot look at that look at how beautiful this looks we have a city scape in the background but pretty soon darkness is going to fall upon us it's all good we can freaks come out at night eight the freaks come okay um all right here we've got this is an unusual title for so I thought it would be a fun one. And not really what we normally cover. What we do sometimes, how to get those funky pop voicing. Now we are fully enshrined.

Actually, no, this is pre-pendemic. The orientation is a little different. We were in the pod suite. So we were in and out of the pod suite. Definitely prepaid. Shoegazing. But dual, dopio, light up keyboards green and blue.

Yeah, you can go on YouTube to check out this episode. Yeah, for the YouTube. Well, so this was our old. Andrew Kitchen, who's no longer with us. God bless. No, no. He's still alive. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, he just lives in Iowa now. He's still, or Nebraska or something. He's somewhere in the Midwest. Shut out, Andrew. He's no longer with us. But he's set up, this whole setup where we have the two different keyboards and one was green and one was blue, and he never told us how he did it.

No, and then he left for Iowa with the secret. And check this out. When I'm playing, it's just the one keyboard. You're gazing at your shoe preemptively for some reason. And then look, swoop. She's a... I'm making some music together, my brother.

Yeah, man. When I go low, you go high, just like Michelle Obama. This is pre-key scape, though, obviously. I know. Is that apple? What is that? We go right into the cold open. I think we do.

We just put two hats on one hat there. Two hats on hat. That's a good intro. Yeah, that was good. So, yeah, that was that. Should we keep the party moving? Let's keep it moving, man. So now we have an interesting one,

because I didn't even remember as I was researching, as we always do for this. Check this out. So now we've done a lot of remotes, like where I'm remote, you're in the studio, or I'm at home, you're in a studio, you're at home, I'm in the studio, but we only did a few where we were both at home. So this was very early in the pandemic when we were afraid, I was down in the basement. I didn't even, I was afraid to see my family. Much less go out of the world.

This seems like this is definitely a me up, like my, the title is seven ways to make your piano talk. I feel like this was my idea. I think so. Because I was going through a phase of, the talking piano. But it's kind of like for a remote thing. You know.

We still got the rapport of the timing. Well, I remember the timing was a struggle. Can you be talking? How about some of this? How did we get that, though? The MIDI keyboard thing? How do I not play that ever again? Oh, and check this out.

I don't know if you can see here with my error on pointing. There's some larceny going on here. Do you see what is on your... I gave that back. Well, at the time of... That's your Phillips exercise. Hey, I've made a whole course out of that book. No, it's good, but it's literally my...

I can see it. It's my actual copy. I did, you know, there weren't a lot of people around in the studio in those days, so I could just come in and take whatever I wanted. It was good, that was good. All right, cool. Now we've got one that I think probably almost nobody's seen. Oh, good.

Because it has how many... Oh, no, it's got a few views on it. But this would be a fun trip down memory lane. What do you know about this? Oh, yeah. Shout out to our old intern, Clara. Yeah. We're animating.

This was the 15th episode of the podcast. So this was like two weeks in. Okay, so listen to our delivery. It's very early. So we didn't have the witty. When did we start the cold open? That was later. Way later.

But look at this. How to become a better composer. It's all animated with the... I'm Peter Martin. And I'm Adam Manus. Welcome to the You'll Hear It Podcast. That might look better than that. Oh, I like that logo.

We got to take that logo. Today, we're going to talk about how you can become a better composer. And if this works out well, we're going to talk about how we can become better composer. Okay, let's just talk about that. Okay. Did I think I was making a joke? What was that I was just saying? It was stupid.

How you can become a better composer. And if this works out, we're going to talk about how we can. But I didn't laugh. We're supposed to be the experts. I know, but this doesn't make sense. It's not good. Let's check it out again. Today, we're going to talk about how you can become a better composer.

And if this works out well, we're going to talk about how we can become better composers as well. We're always growing, always learning, right, Adam? That's right, man. I'm going to be out of this jazz thing. I'm going to be a professional composer. That's clever of what you did there. And, well, you bring up a good point because I think all jazz musicians. What point was that?

You know what? We were still learning. Always, like I said, always be learning. We just hadn't learned yet. But check that one out if you get a chance to our little. listeners and on YouTube. That's how to become a better composer. You'll hear it's season one.

Oh, man. Episode 15. Wow. All right. What else he got? We were just young. Okay, we got one more and then we got a bonus.

Of course, because you know how we do it. Seven plus a bonus. Okay, so you pick this one. If you'd like to maybe paint us a picture on this, because this was a fun one. Oh, so this was in an era. We've done so many different styles of this podcast.

Obviously, we have staples like the list of seven. And, you know, and we have new features like OGs, react to IGs, and our generational list, which are a big hit. but we went through a phase where we were doing more long form and more researched. I mean, these really

became what the Open Studio YouTube channel is now with like tutorial videos. A lot of my videos that I make on YouTube are kind of based off of this era of the you'll hear. I do it occasionally. But I kind of learn how to do it from these podcasts where I spent a lot of time researching some of this stuff. This was the first

one I really did. It's called How Bad Is the Real Book Actually? It's got quite a few views on YouTube actually because it's a good, it's a fairly good YouTube video. Again, most of the people in the comments like, why is there so much talking at the beginning? And it's like, yeah, because it's a podcast. It's 55. How do they not get that?

But we go through tunes like Settl by Starlight and softies in a morning sunrise, but not for me. And like researched the original versions versus like the chord changes that you might play in the real book. Really talking about and how bad the original real book is actually.

Yeah. Especially the things like melodies. Like there's missing melodies. There's wrong notes. There's horrible chord changes. The most surprising. We were fact checkers back then. The most surprising thing about this episode,

especially when it got on YouTube in the comments, started getting going with, how many people were defending the real book? I know. Like crazy. And I understand that it's very helpful, but I feel like, you know, go a mile deep and a foot wide instead of, you know what I mean?

Yeah. Like, learn your, anyway. I don't want to get the real book apologists back on my back. Because I see where it's definitely helpful. You know, I might use it as I go to this gig tonight, and I don't know what we're going to play. some jam session or whatever. Right.

Check some changes before I go up. Should we watch? Yeah. Let's see you. Hey, Peter. Hey. You ever heard of a dust jacket? Like for an LP or something like that?

Yeah, exactly. Yes, I have. I even have a few. Well, I hope you have one on you today because it's about to get dusty up in here. Oh, let's do it. Why? I love a little side glance to the camera. Yeah.

You were switching the cameras for YouTube at this point, too. Air drums, dancing. All good. Switching. Back to switching. I'm Adam. Took a minute. And I'm Peter Martin.

That was an awkward pause. Music advice. Actually, that's a good setup for our bonus. Coming at you twice a week. Come on at you twice a week. Thought I'd slip that in there. Gotcha. Got you.

What did you just say? Hey, man. It's, you know, we're ever evolving, ever changing, ever adapting. So we're going to add an episode. I feel like we. Okay, so let's just talk about this a little bit because we were. We were doing one a week. That's right.

That's what a well. But we started out daily. Yeah. Seven days a week. Seven days a week. And then we went to three days a week. We went to five days a week. No, we went to five days a week.

Yeah. Because we were like every day, every week day. Yeah. And then we went to once a week. Well, then we went to three days a week. Three days a week. And then we went to once a week. And that's when the blow, we couldn't handle the blowback.

Yeah. And then we went back to three days a week, which is what we're at now. Well, we did two days a week for a little while. I think we did, yeah. Just went down to one a week. That's right. The people love us too much. They've been demanding this.

They've been asking for it. We've got to give the people what they want, man. Okay. That's how we do it. All right. So we'll do another. Overuse of the blue light there, possibly. Well, remember we were excited because we got the blue back light.

You had the blue hoodie. We were all in on blue. But it's not a bad look. Look at that. This week. This feels like both like it was yesterday and a thousand years ago. I got blue in the background. Because we're in the future, remember.

How do you know all of this before it happens? I got it all up here. We'll talk about it after. All right. Well, we can talk about it later. Well, today's episode is sponsored by Open Studio. Go to Open Studio. As always.

That was fun, though. That's a good episode, like you say, for folks to check out. There's actually a really good PDF download. I mean, this is like a legit last one. Hey, and before we do our bonus Jonas, if you're in the YouTube comments, why don't you put in your favorite you'll hear an episode of all time? Let us know your favorite episodes.

Maybe even put a link to the YouTube video of your favorite. If you're in the audio, leave us a speak pipe of your favorite you'll hear an episode or your favorite you'll hear it moment. Where per chance would they be able to do that? Go to you'll hear it.com, bud. Hello. That'll answer all your.

your questions, prayers, and acquisitions. Okay, what's our last one? Okay, our last one. We're going to go all the way back to episode number one. Would that be something you might be interested in? Mildly, yes. But I think folks would be interested. This is like, well, this is available on Spotify.

I don't know if it's still available on Apple Podcasts, probably do this, but this is episode number one. We're going all the way back to January of 2018, I believe. And, you know, this is kind of a, you know, see how far we've come and see how far we haven't come, you know, kind of from our, core mission, which I'm very proud of. But there are some delivery and quality issues at the beginning. Well, we

were let our dear listeners. It was our very first swing of the podcast. Yeah. And we woke up that morning, not knowing that we were going to do a, well, you certainly woke up, not knowing you were going to do a podcast. No. I'd never talked on a microphone before. We'll play a little bit. Maybe stop and just with some quick commentary and then get the folks out of here as they like to do. Okay. Okay. Here we go.

So, first note, no cold opening, as we mentioned before. Same thing. Same theme, same performance, obsceny, emotion and motion. I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adam Manus. Okay, a little tinge of not joy, but not anger, but a little bit... Hostility.

A little, yeah, a little hostile. A little bit nervous, perhaps? Possibly. Let's check it out again. Also, lots of reverb, because we were at the piano. Remember this? We were at the piano. No, no, no, weren't we...

No, we were at the piano. Really? Yeah, okay. I'm Peter Martin, and I'm Adamannis. Welcome to the You'll Hear It podcast. For some reason, I say, it like I'm reading it. Like I'm like I was like welcome to the maybe I was you might have been because I remember we had bullet points we did we had bullet points written down and so we probably just came up with the name I know we came up with the name that day yeah and so you probably were just having to remember what it was called right here podcast it wasn't a thing. This was one take I do remember that and we did not rehearse we talked about what are we going to do and you were kind of like I was like oh come on let's just do it yeah let's listen a little bit yeah lots of melody oh there's a little space after the might have been Still going.

How long is the episode? Eight minutes. Oh, that's great. We should do those. Today we're going to give you seven great practice routine hacks for you to work into your daily practice routine. You definitely were reading that. So I'm going to start with developing a routine. This is so important.

Interesting. No banter. I'm going to start with right out the gate. Number one. Not even a banter or not even like a, wow, we're starting to do pot. No kind of humor. No kind of entry point. Or I'm Peter Bart.

Why, I said I'm. Maybe. Maybe these are our best episodes, man. We just get right to it. Yeah. We didn't feel like the need for a bio or who the hell are. Nothing. Just go into it.

Have a routine of how you're going to get into your practice so that when you sit down each day, you already know what you're going to do. That might be just a real simple. You know what I love about this? Do you remember what our number 9998 episode was? Oh, it was seven ways to practice. It was practice motivation. It was basically how to set up your practice routine. We've come three.

Full circle. Was it better than this one? Yeah, I was. A little bit. Oh, man. You want to have a routine of how you're going to get into your practice so that when you sit down each day, you already know what you're going to do.

That might be just a real simple, real simple way that you like to start out your scales. Whatever it is for you, you know, trumpet players. That was pre-Shon's grandma's time. That was the old one. That was the big one. Yeah, the big boy. Just things like that. But you want to have a routine.

You don't want to sit there saying, what should I do? And you also don't want to just sit down and play some random stuff, you know, I was out for random. I was kind of... Does anyone do that? Am I on this episode? I mean, we're going to go back and forth. And you also don't want to just sit down and play some random stuff, you know, I was out

for random. I was kind of random, right? Pretty random. Just some random stuff. You want to practice with purpose. So develop a routine and make sure you're starting somewhere. Super dogmatic of me. Number two is to don't play until the very end of your practice session.

Is that a sentence? Number two is to don't. don't play until the very end of your, what does that even mean? You sounded closer to the way you sound now than I did. Well, I'm a natural. You are a natural. You're totally stagnant. No, I mean, you know what I'm saying like that's, I mean, it's a little bit, you know,

but I mean, not as much as mine is. What am I talking about, though? I just sound angry. It's like the early two minutes. I sound angry and dog mad. Yeah, if you've not seen Peter's early two minute jazz episodes on YouTube, he is like, I mean, not for the fan of hard stuff. Scary almost, like just do this.

Do this shit, man. I'm called my cousin in Jersey. Performing a piece or a tune and just start playing around the tune until you've hit specific things that you need to work on. Why not? Because then you just get caught up in these, you know, rambling playing of tunes. It's ironic. I tripped up on the word rambling.

That's very good. And that brings us to the third point, which is, separate your conscious from the unconscious practice. What we were. It's amazing. we got to episode two, man. Truly, it's a testament to our own perseverance. 70 to 80% of our practice should be very confident.

Wow. You got statistics on that? You got some data? I got one episode under our belt. 70 to 80%. Really? That imprecise? Right.

Very focused where we're thinking about specifically what we're doing. So if we're working on- That'd be more like 90 to 95. Yeah. Proposition, we're thinking about specific scales. We're thinking about specific patterns, specific solos, we're practicing in a way and thinking in a way that we wouldn't do when we're performing. But then you always want to have that unconscious kind of practice where we're just

playing and letting loose. And to your point of number three, of waiting until the end of your practice routine, that's when you're going to want to do your more unconscious playing. So maybe you're waiting until then to just play through the piece and not think about all the stuff that you work on. Give yourself a chance. Oh, that was the first. How many of those have we done on this?

It's a staple. To have all that come out. unconsciously or maybe it's up unconsciously oh wait interesting I don't even know the difference I don't either but they're both important right and so that brings us the number four you know answer the question we have fun don't practice stuff you already can do this is something that are silly human brains trick us into doing all the time our egos don't practice sound good even I'm already on an egoic especially when it's for us the meditation journey don't fall into that trap you will never improve just playing the

same tunes in the same way, doing the same licks in the same keys. That is true. That's true, actually. That's true. Making the same episodes in the same way over the same. And already played great. So make a decision start of your practice routine to work

on things that you can't do. That's the time to do it. You don't want to be doing it on the gig or at the jam session. You want to be doing it in the Yeah, you don't want to set an intention on the gig. You can be drinking on the gig in the jam session. Yeah. You know and home where you can really focus and hone in on the skills that'll bring your entire level of playing up,

not just the stuff you're already good at. Focus. Yeah, because when you're practicing things that you can. That's all I can take. That's all I could take. That's my first thing. Before that, we were really like, I must have felt comfortable because then I was like,
