Today's guest is a Grammy winner, a two-time Billboard #1 artist, and one of the defining pop voices of the last decade. But her real story isn't the anthems or the awards. It's the part that plays like a rollercoaster and teaches like a masterclass: how she almost quit, what going #1 actually felt like, and everything about the music business nobody explains until you've survived it.The press version skips the touring deficits, the depression at the top, and the moment in an Echo Park apartment when she nearly took a job at Smoothie King. The question underneath everything she says: once you stop chasing the metric and the moment — who do you become?And The Writer Is... Lizzo!In this episode of And The Writer Is, we go deep on:• Why she wanted to quit music the day "Truth Hurts" went #1 — and the 2017 low point that was actually worse• The touring economics no one explains: how you gross $1M and still finish the year in the red• Why the indie grind that built her, in her view, no longer leads to the mainstream• "She stopped giving a fuck about what we wanted" — Beyoncé's self-titled as a blueprint for artistic autonomy• Why she only talks to people who buy her music — and what comment sections do to her nervous system• The bumper-sticker hook theory — why "Truth Hurts" works when it breaks every rule• Writing "About Damn Time": 83 versions of the chorus, and how the simplest line won• Robert Glasper's lesson: there's no such thing as a wrong note• Why good songs don't sound great at first — watching "Good as Hell" go from silly to gospel• "I make whatever the f*** I want" — and why arriving at that sentence took everything before itAnd much more...
In this heartfelt episode, host James Cox welcomes the multi‑talented artist Acacia Grace—a neo‑soul, jazz, and R&B vocalist whose music is as raw as it is restorative. From her origins in Washington DC and a career in federal law enforcement to a life‑changing move to France, Acacia shares how a cascade of health challenges (lupus‑like connective‑tissue disorder, Sjögren's, Bouc‑B et al.) and personal setbacks—car accidents, a dwarfing daughter's recovery, and chronic dysautonomia—have shaped her artistic voice.Listeners hear Acacia open up about:Music as medicine – why she writes love‑filled, uplifting anthems and how poetry fuels her songwriting.Her upcoming projects – a French‑language album “Follow My Armourous” dropping next week, the English follow‑up set for her birthday on June 24, and singles like “Sunshine,” “Infatuation,” and “I Don't Need You.”The creative process – pre‑mix “bounces,” DIY vocal experiments, and the influence of jazz hubs from Paris's La Villette to New York's eclectic scene.Life beyond the studio – meditation, crystal‑bowl sound baths, and the importance of asking for help in a world that still stigmatizes mental‑health care.Through candid stories, laughter, and a lightning‑round of favorite influences (Sade, Jill Scott, Robert Glasper, Cleo Soul, and UK neo‑soul sir Jerome Thomas), Acacia reminds us that resilience, love, and a good groove can help us survive any storm.Tune in for an inspiring conversation about identity, healing, and the power of music to speak when words fall short.

Episode 104: Kamasi Washington Kamasi Washington is one of the most important voices in modern jazz. A saxophonist, composer, and bandleader from Los Angeles, he has helped shape the sound of contemporary music through his solo work and collaborations with artists like Kendrick Lamar, Thundercat, Dinner Party, Flying Lotus, Andre 3000, Terrace Martin, and Robert Glasper. In this episode of Go With Elmo, Kamasi sits down for a deep conversation about his journey, from growing up in Los Angeles with the greatest young talents all around him to becoming a central figure in a global movement of jazz, hip-hop, and beyond. The LA music scene, the importance of community, and the foundation of the West Coast Get Down collective all come into focus. Kamasi breaks down the West Coast Get Down and the musicians involved, including Thundercat, Ronald Bruner Jr., Cameron Graves, Brandon Coleman, Ryan Porter, Patrice Quinn, Miles Mosley, and Tony Austin, and how that group helped define a new sound coming out of Los Angeles. Kamasi explains why he often performs with multiple drummers and multiple bassists, how he builds such powerful live ensembles, and what it takes to lead large groups of musicians on stage and in the studio. The conversation dives into Kamasi's work on Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, the creative energy of those sessions, how he got the call for the Kendrick gig from Terrace, and their continued connection over time. More recent collaborations like “Luther” and “TV Off” are discussed, along with Kendrick referencing him by name in the lyric “keep a horn on me, that Kamasi,” a moment that reflects his influence across genres. Making his landmark albums The Epic, Heaven and Earth, and Harmony of Difference are explored, along with his approach to jazz saxophone, composition, improvisation, and bandleading. His broader work as a composer, including Becoming and Lazarus, adds to the scope of his career and creative output. The conversation goes deep into music philosophy, creativity, and meaning, including Kamasi's belief that music is bigger than genre and can communicate ideas beyond words. Fatherhood, inspiration, and the evolution of his perspective all play a role in shaping his current work. This is a wide-ranging talk about music, culture, leadership, and the journey of becoming one of the defining artists of this generation.

Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Segment of Notorious Mass Effect dives deep into Jack Harlow's bold fourth studio album, Monica, released on March 13, 2026—coinciding with his 28th birthday. Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this breakdown explores Harlow's dramatic pivot from pop-rap hits like "What's Poppin," "First Class," and "Lovin on Me" to a no-rap, fully sung project rooted in R&B, neo-soul, soul, and jazz influences.Recorded at the iconic Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the 9-track, 28-minute album features live instrumentation, jazzy guitars, horn sections, organ, and soulful grooves. Heavy inspiration from D'Angelo's Voodoo shines through, with collaborators including Ravyn Lenae, Omar Apollo, Mustafa, and Robert Glasper adding prestige and bridging Harlow to alternative R&B and jazz audiences.Analytic Dreamz examines the album's reception—Variety praises its warm, soulful upgrade, Clash calls it an unexpected delight tied to the Soulquarian movement, and Okayplayer highlights vulnerability—while noting polarizing views from critics questioning the niche shift from hip-hop roots.With over 11 billion career streams fueling momentum, Monica employs smart strategies: no lead single, birthday drop for engagement, short runtime for repeats, limited-edition vinyl via direct-to-consumer, clean lyrics for broader playlists, and a focus on expanding into neo-soul/R&B lanes amid risks of alienating core fans.Analytic Dreamz unpacks sales projections (5K–10K pure units expected, potential Top 10 Billboard 200 debut via streaming), market facts, and how this evolution fits larger 2025-2026 hip-hop trends.Tune in for an in-depth, no-hype analysis of Jack Harlow's reinvention on Monica.

Ryan Estes sits down with Don Lucoff, founder of DL Media and Artistic Director of the Denver Jazz Fest. Don has spent nearly four decades in jazz as a publicist, producer, and festival programmer, working with legendary artists and labels like Impulse and Blue Note. Now he is helping build a national caliber jazz festival right here in Denver. The State of Jazz Don reflects on how dramatically jazz media coverage has changed. There was a time when major outlets regularly reviewed jazz records and featured artists on national television. Today, most of that coverage has vanished. Yet jazz itself has not disappeared. It continues to shape modern music. Artists like Kendrick Lamar have collaborated with jazz musicians such as Kamasi Washington and Robert Glasper. The influence is everywhere. As Don puts it, jazz can sell everything but itself. It is deeply embedded in popular culture, even if it is no longer center stage in mainstream media. Why Denver Is a Jazz City Denver has a stronger jazz pedigree than many people realize. The Front Range is home to major jazz education programs at the University of Northern Colorado, University of Denver, University of Colorado Boulder, Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Colorado State University. These institutions consistently produce world class players. Historically, Five Points was known as the Harlem of the West, a vital stop for touring jazz musicians crossing the country. Add the Beat Generation passing through town and you have a city that has long been part of America's cultural and musical story. Inside Denver Jazz Fest The Denver Jazz Fest spans 15 venues across Denver and includes performances in Boulder County. It blends national headliners with respected local artists, creating a citywide celebration. This year's lineup includes Pat Metheny, Branford Marsalis, Bob James, and John Beasley. The festival also honors the centenary of Miles Davis and John Coltrane with special tribute performances, including a presentation of A Love Supreme by Denver saxophonist Keith Oxman. The goal is inclusivity and accessibility. Whether you are a lifelong jazz fan or just jazz curious, there is a show for you. Where to Start Listening For new listeners, Don recommends classics from the Blue Note catalog such as Lee Morgan's Search for the New Land, Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage, Wayne Shorter's Speak No Evil, and Grant Green's Idle Moments. From Impulse, he points to John Coltrane's Crescent and A Love Supreme, Alice Coltrane's Journey in Satchidananda, and Pharoah Sanders' Thembi. These records are not homework. They are entry points into a vast and vibrant tradition. Final Takeaway Don's career proves one thing. You may not get rich in jazz, but you can build a life around passion, community, and great music. Denver Jazz Fest is more than a series of concerts. It is a statement that this city values artistry, education, and cultural history. Learn more and get tickets at denverjazz.org. See you there.

The sensational Morgan James—hailed as "a phenomenal talent whose feel for classic soul music is bone deep" by The New York Times—is back on the show for an unprecedented third time! The former Broadway star and Juilliard alum joins J. Rod to peel back the curtain on her boundary-less career and her brilliant new concept album, Soul Remains The Same. What you'll hear in this episode: Life Fantastic: We dive into the big questions: Is there anything better than being successful in music? What is life really like for Morgan James right now, and what does a typical day look like on and off tour? The Stage Split: Morgan breaks down the fundamental difference between singing with a full symphony orchestra versus in an intimate club setting. She reveals which environment challenges her more and which one truly feeds her soul. The Studio Tightrope: Her new album masterfully blends vintage soul textures with hard rock and metal tracks (Metallica, AC/DC, Soundgarden). Morgan reveals the biggest arrangement challenge: is it preserving the original's essence or finding that perfect "sweet spot" where soul and metal organically meet? The Poignant Closer: We discuss her intense, single-take rendition of The Smashing Pumpkins' "Tonight, Tonight," and why those stripped-down lyrics made it the perfect final moment for the entire album. Plus, a candid look at her powerful original song, "Let ME Keep You," written with Robert Glasper. Don't miss this illuminating conversation with one of music's most fierce and intentional voices! ____ Uber Eats: Get up to 40% off Fall essentials.

We're talking jazz influences in hip hop today with Nate Sloan and Charlie Harding from Switched On Pop. We dig into tracks from Kendrick Lamar (there's that TPAB acronym!), Common, Cautious Clay and David Bowie to surface the musical qualities that explain why jazz musicians love these artists. Plus - we explore the striking similarities between jazz and hip hop, especially in the recording booth, and why we don't hear more jazz in the popular music canon.Check out our Robert Glasper episode: https://youtu.be/hsJpuqtNH9oGet our newsletter for bonus stories that didn't make the pod: https://youllhearit.com/newsletter Start your free Open Studio trial for ALLLLL your jazz lesson needs: https://osjazz.link/yhi

When does Afro Blue and Smells Like Teen Spirit belong on the same record? When it's a Robert Glasper album! In 2012, Glasper's Black Radio brought together artists like Erykah Badu to bring a jazz standard, Afro Blue, back into the popular music canon. Black Radio hit #1 on the jazz charts, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the hip-hop R&B charts and #15 on the Top 200. The Blue Note pianist has been bending genres since the 90s, bringing together the best of traditional jazz and weaving it seamlessly with R&B, hip-hop, soul and rock & roll. And it all fits, because Glasper is equally at home in all of these categories. He grew up listening to all kinds of music, like Nirvana, Billy Joel, Busta Rhymes -- everything. Black Radio, he says, was a way to put his "life on wax". Rob Harvilla from 60 Songs to Explain the 90s: The 2000s joins Adam and Peter to dive into what makes this album great, and how it refutes from any attempt to categorize it. From the J. Dilla Influence, to Casey Benjamin's album-defining flute, to the Erykah Badu of it all, you'll never hear this album the same way again.And this album inspired what is possibly our best YHI outro yet. Let us know if you agree!
Otis Brown III didn't just grow up around music, he was shaped by it. With a father who drummed for legends like James Brown and Al Green, and a mother who was a classically trained pianist and choir director, Otis was raised in a home where rhythm and soul were a way of life. In this episode, we trace Otis's journey from early church gigs to Donald Byrd's midnight mentorship and on to stages with Esperanza Spalding and Robert Glasper. He breaks down his debut album, The Thought of You, the emotional power of drumming, and the unique pressure of leading a band. We also unpack Whiplash, the dark side of music education, and whether greatness comes from obsession, or in spite of it. Plus: his take on Kendrick Lamar, jazz-meets-hip-hop fusion, and the rhythms that speak louder than words. Guest bio: Otis Brown is a Grammy-nominated jazz drummer, composer, and recording artist who is a go-to session and touring sideman. He's studied under jazz icon Donald Byrd and trained at The New School. He's performed with Joe Lovano, Esperanza Spalding, and Gerald Clayton, known for his expressive playing, deep humility, and dedication to elevating music with soul and purpose.
