  • Wonderful show!

    Dear Peter & Adam, I am an amateur jazz enthusiast and have been looking for a show like this for a long time. Your show is a great mix of analysis and enthusiasm - with the right level on the snobometer even for a beginner like me. I am learning so much from how you talk about the music and it is helping me enjoy jazz in a deeper way. I am also learning to play the alto sax (in my middle age - not an easy thing) and I hope to get to a point where I can join your Open Studio. Thank you for the e... more

  • Pretty good!

    I listen to these when I’m on the road to a gig. Great curation as far as albums discussed from jazz and beyond.

Seems mostly geared towards casual listeners and fans rather than music nerds and musicians, but that’s okay.

    Sometimes too many stanky grunts at unnecessary places, sometimes hypocritical (saying Little One and Survival of the Fittes... more

  • Podcasting at its sweet jazzy finest

    These two charming Americans single-handedly (or is that double-handedly?) rekindled the flames of my love for jazz after years of not listening to awwwll these incredible artists. Love their infectious enthusiasm, in-jokes, fascinating takes and harmonic analysis.
