Tim House is the new breed of music businessman.  As and A&R man, he's seen it all, and for his clients he's done it all, short of drive the bus.  He has launched or furthered the careers of some of the Bay Area's most interesting hip hop acts, and has been part of what makes the music here so special.  He sat down with us at his office at Ineffable Music Group and talked about the continuing importance of great performances and the concept album.  This episode is Part 1.
