- Best ever!
Shout out to Peter and Adam who have enriched my musical life! Not only as my piano tutors on their excellent Open Studio platform which has helped me progress so much more than I could imagine after playing piano for over 40 years. But also for giving us the joy of their in depth analysis and downright fun of nerding out over all these excellent albums they've chosen to share with us. In honor of the gentleman's agreement I grant you at least 7 shining stars. Please never stop!

This podcast is a godsend not only for aspiring jazz musicians, but for anyone who loves passionate conversations about music that sweats (and cherishes) the details. Peter and Adam are top picks for my fantasy album listening party. Would love to hear their perspectives on more albums on the rock end of the spectrum (I think their takes would be fascinating), but I have no complaints or quibble bits. Thanks for all you do, guys.

If you aren’t looking forward to this every Monday, you might be a square. The instructional content on their website is also superb (shout out to Chris Parks in particular). Thank you!

So grateful to have found these musical nerds a few weeks ago. At the height (or depth) of my doomscrolling and depression, these guys pulled me toward the warmth, the light, and the pure joy that is music. Thank you.
