What an absolute joy to nerd-out with saxophonist & composer Mark Turner about music after all these years of listening to him! As I tell Mark during this episode, his tune “Jacky’s Place” was my ring-tone for a while in the early 2000s đ I think we hit it off right away and covered a lot of ground in our conversation. I’m happy to share it now with all of you!

This my conversation with recording engineer & multi-instrumentalist Joseph Branciforte. I had been a fan of his work on albums by Ben Monder, Caroline Davis, Matt Mitchell, Jen Shyu & Kate Gentile and loved his duo work with Theo Bleckmann. So naturally I was excited when Joseph reached out to me and said that he had been listening to the podcast and would love to come on to talk about his process. We had an inspiring conversation which seemed to flow effortlessly right away. Iâm grateful that I got to nerd-out with Joseph and that I now get to share it with you.

Talking to master bassist Robert Hurst was a big highlight for me. My earliest memory of listening to him goes back to my childhood where I often picked out the ‘Mo Better Bluesâ soundtrack from of my parentâs record collection. While listening to the record I stared at the pictures of the musicians in the booklet in awe. To finally get to talk to him was a dream come true for me.
I feel very grateful to Robert for his generosity and the inspiring conversation we had. Letâs all learn from him together now!
