The long wait is over. If you’ve been holding your breath or fasting for the last 18 months to convince us to release another episode, you can breathe/eat again! This one goes out to you. 

This is the first episode of our 3rd season, and the guests are two of our favorite  musicians, best friends, and fellow WSNC session players. 

Michael Kinchen plays keys in Vintage Astronaut and Marvelous Funkshun, and is also a killing bassist and tenor sax player. He’s one of those musicians that pisses you off because he’s so good at everything… motherfucker.

Russell Kelly is the guitarist for our band RKIII, as well as the Martha Bassett Band. He is also featured on her podcast, the Martha Bassett Show! He only plays one instrument.



 If you like the show, please write us a review! Also, please consider subscribing to our Bandcamp page. That allows us to interact with you, get to know you a little bit so we can deliver what you want to hear. You also have access to special content from us, and get all of the music from all of the episodes for free!

Episode Twelve - Mystery Mike

Who is the man with no haircut? We haven’t a name for this one. This one slides through the universe with no haircut at all; slipping, squeezing through tight, funky spaces; inside the pocket, outside the harmony, implying chord changes where only diatonicism existed before. For the purposes of podcast, we shall call this one: Michael Kinchen. Michael joins your super podcast team Jahn and Jo’Nathan to talk about jazz, improvisation, and vocoders.
