#187 - Fixing Broken Tickets | Wayne Shorter | David Lindley

Pitchfork has six ideas on how to solve the broken ticketing system and Nick is eager to discuss them. Central to the question though is the premise that ticketing is actually broken. Is it and, if so, how? Song: Billy Cobham - “Solarization”Greg remembers the father of modern jazz, Wayne Shorter, who passed lsat week at the age of 89. Gaining prominence in the 50’s, the jazz saxophonist earned a reputation as a prolific composer unafraid of breaking melodic conventions. His music, if you check it out, sounds so familiar today, but only because of how influential his music has become. He music lives on, but he will be missed.Songs:Art Blakey & The Messengers - “Free for All”Wayne Shorter - “Yes or No”Miles Davis - “Pinocchio”Weather Report - “Black Market”Jay remembers stringed instrument master (“maxi-instrumentalist”) David Lindley, who passed last week at the age of 78. Another fallen legend, Lindley can be seen on YouTube playing dozens of obscure held-stringed instruments with very famous people. His distinctive lap-steel guitar on Jackson Browne’s “Running on Empty” may be his most known performance, but his range was endless and he appeared with artists of all genres. He too will be missed.Songs:Jackson Browne - “Running on Empty”David Lindley - “The Indifference of Heaven”Episode Webpage
