#193 - “Viral or Eyeroll” Coachella ‘23 | Back to NAMM | Ahmad Jamal

Nick’s excited that Coachella is back but only so we can play your favorite game, “Viral or Eyeroll.” For any new listeners, in this game contestants hear a headline and decide it’s a viral sensation or a total fabrication. Given the subject matter, every story is anyone’s guess! Song: Julius Rodriguez – “Blues at the Barn”Keep those seatbelts on kids, because Greg is taking straight to NAMM! The National Association of Music Merchants is an annual exhibition and one of the largest music product trade shows in the world. Greg has participated in the last five or six and, aside from giving us the scoops on the latest gear, mostly wanted to use his time to convince Nick & Jay that they have to attend next year’s event.Song: Squid – “Swing (in a Dream)”Jay provides a remembrance for another jazz legend as Ahmad Jamal passed last week at the age of 92. Aside from being one of Jay’s favorite jazz pianists, Jamal's career spans over seven decades and his laid-back and sparse style influenced future legends like Herbie Hancock & Keith Jarrett. We’ll let Miles Davis have the last word, as he once said “All my inspiration comes from Ahmad Jamal.”Songs:Ahmad Jamal – “Dolphin Dance”Ahmad Jamal – “Stolen Moments”
