Dipping really early into the archives—an episode from three years ago, where jazz saxophonist, guitarist, and singer, Sean Hully, from Peterborough, Ontario talked about how he learned to play and appreciate jazz.

We’ll also take you through a bit of jazz history. You’ll hear music by King Oliver, Louis Armstrong, Coleman Hawkins, Susie Arioli, Weather Report, Hank Mobley, Joe Henderson, Glenn Miller, and Sean Hully himself.

As well, Sean explains where those strange notes in be-bop and modern jazz come from. They’re not random, you now. (Except sometimes).

P.S. I need to apologize to those of you who tried my last podcast (57)—hoping to hear about Fidel Castro and how banning imperialist American jazz ended up helping to create a totally new form of music—that later spread all around the world. Those of you who tried to listen to it the first few days ended up with a repeat of my previous program. My mistake. It is now corrected. So feel free to go back to my previous program (from the archives) and give it another listen.
