ABSOLUTE TALK

This week "Sexy Chocolate" Terry Roseborough is back on the podcast for another great Q&A episode!! We want to thank our friends and his students back at his hometown of Tulsa, OK for sending us your questions in which we enjoyed diving into from our perspectives. We both had a blast and hopefully you guys do too!!

Joining me this week is none other than the amazing jazz pianist Chris Coogan. We look back on his musical journey from when he first learned to play the piano, discovering his passion for jazz music and what he loves about that genre the most including his insight about it. We'll also look at the bands he was a part of including the "Chris Coogan Quintet" to his trios band and more. Plus, there's so many celebrities he got to meet and perform for including the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Joanne Woodard, Paul Newman, Bette Midler and even getting to play the music for Alex Trebek on Jeopardy! at Madison Square Garden!!

From Bulgaria to Boston, Simona makes her way to AT! We look back on her overall journey from Bulgaria to the states including the story behind that. While there, we'll look at her time from living in NY to places such as North Carolina, Maryland and ultimately Boston. Also we'll look at how she pursued a career working with kids, meeting the love of her life Corbin, and how she got started in dance! Also we have a "Special Cameo!" that you don't wanna miss!...and no I don't mean the "Bulgarian Treat!" haha.

Could she be the biggest Mayer Hawthorne fan ever!? In honor of his birthday yesterday, Jackie Lo returns to the pod as we talk about one of the biggest independent musicians in the business today. We'll dive into the music he released as both a solo artist and as one half of the duo "Tuxedo" with Jake One. This includes the collaborations from such tracks as "Do It" with Pitbull to "Crime" with Kendrick Lamar. Plus, we'll discuss leaving the independent label "Stones Throw Records" to the major labels of "Universal Republic" & "Vagrant", and why he went back. Also please note this was recorded last year, but I will update you towards the end of the show what he has going on since then.

Today, for the final episode of 2019, Absolute TALK! is teaming up with "Fans of the Forge" for the first ever crossover special! We'll look at the behind-the-scenes of their Youtube/podcast show along with how they all first met. Also we dive into some "Forged In Fire" talk, "Knife or Death", favorite guests, and a lot more into the world of bladesmithing! Also, if you would like to see their show including the video of this interview, it will be available on their Fans of the Forge Youtube channel.

There were a lot of great interviews throughout 2019, but there were some extras for whatever reason left out of the final cut. So I decided to include em all in the second ever "Bonus Audio Extras" episode where you get to hear unaired clips from past interviews including, Madeline Marie Hunt, "Tomdog" Morse, Terry Roseborough, Victoria Locke, and Kyle Ducham. It's a variety of conversations that I know you will all enjoy with a lot of laughs and fun!!
