  • Kyle Eastwood.

    The host is lazy. Don’t let Kyle correct what you should clearly and easily know. Research, baby, put in the work before the interviews.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rob Cope - Phoenix Vol. 1
Q: What was the workflow that allowed Phoenix Volume 1 to come together in a single day of recording?
The three musicians—Liam Noble, Lawrence Cottle, and Paul Clavis—brought a balance of groove, timekeeping, and creative input, and the charts were designed to be sight-readable, enabling quick, high-quality takes that produced enough material for two volumes in one session.
Rob Cope - Phoenix Vol. 1
Q: Can you explain why you chose to open a UK branch of Adhyâropa Records and how that aligns with the spirit of Ubuntu?
The spirit of Ubuntu is about artists earning the masters, and by opening a UK branch I can keep the artist in control of their masters while leveraging the label's support network and distribution to solve practical issues, like shipping and getting music to audiences more effectively.
Matheus Prado - Brasilidade: A Jazz Portrait Of Brazil
Q: Could you tell us a little bit about yourself and a little bit about the track?
Matheus Prado outlines his journey from Brazil to Spain and then the UK, explains how Brasilidade came to life over about 15 years, and details the collaborative process with Leandro Freixo and João to realize the project as a trio that honors Brazilian rhythms while embracing jazz improvisation.
Olivia Murphy - Fateful Birds and Fledgling Stories
Q: How challenging was it to juggle recording a full large-ensemble album with other commitments, and how did you manage time in the studio?
Olivia describes scheduling a tight, one-and-a-half-day studio session, prioritizing moments and takes to balance efficiency with musical integrity, and the importance of rehearsal and prior preparation.
Olivia Murphy - Fateful Birds and Fledgling Stories
Q: Did you always know you would bring in Chris Heisen for post-production, and how did that collaboration shape the final sound?
She explains that the collaboration developed organically after securing funding and booking the studio, with Chris bringing a distinctive post-production approach that broadened the sound world.
