  • A Dave Grohl Episode

    I was locked in from the first couple of utterances They Made…This was wonderful and so entertaining, and I learned a few things about Mr. Grohl. Norah is sweet and seems like just a good person, it is NO wonder these two seem like they have been hanging out together for 20 years…Norah Jones, your voice and playing are hypnotic to me. I love how you were able to pick out Dave’s songs with your ear and understanding of music. I was playing along on keys with y’all while I was listening It was so... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SASAMI
Q: What writing approach do you find most useful now?
Starting from the voice and lead with the voice helps me find where the vocal melody sits within chords, rather than forcing the voice to fit a pre-set progression.
SASAMI
Q: Was it hard transitioning from a classical background to indie rock and songwriting?
The transition was influenced by the harsh but motivating environment of conservatories, but it ultimately pushed me to explore and participate in the rock/folk world by charting strings and horn arrangements, which broadened my musical vocabulary.
SASAMI
Q: When did you start writing songs?
I didn't really start writing songs until I was around 26 or 27, after years of playing in ensembles and learning to arrange for strings and winds, then gradually adding vocals and exploring different bands.
Lang Lang
Q: How do you view the relationship between a piano's personality and your own playing style?
Lang Lang explains that each instrument has a unique character and that a pianist must adapt their touch and musical color to bring out that character, which in turn shapes interpretive decisions and tonal color.
St. Vincent
Q: How did the orchestral tour idea come about?
Annie describes the BBC Proms collaboration and how performing with a 60-piece orchestra allowed a retrospective feel while still being contemporary and whimsical.
