Elena Pinderhughes: From Herbie Hancock to Future, This Jazz Star Brings Flute to Front & Center Go with Elmo Lovano 2024-11-22 | Episode 57: Elena Pinderhughes is one of the most sought-after musicians in today’s vibrant jazz scene. From touring with legends like Herbie Hancock, Common, and Chief Adjuah to performing the iconic “Mask Off” with Future on the Coachella Main Stage, Elena has already brought the flute to a new level. She’s a prominent figure in this wave of brilliant young musicians rising within the new jazz world.The first time I heard her play flute, it was alongside the jazz world’s GOAT, Herbie Hancock, and I immediately knew she was different. Her sound didn’t just complement something already iconic—she elevated it. Since then, I’ve seen her perform with Terrace Martin, Lalah Hathaway, Snarky Puppy, and so many more. I wanted to understand how she’s achieved so much at such a young age.I’d boil it down to these things: Intention, mind set, dedication, and a strong support system with her brother, Samora Pinderhughes.Elena talks about her journey—from being a teenage jazz star to becoming a first-call collaborator across genres. She shares stories about working with Herbie Hancock, Chief Adjuah, Esperanza Spalding, Robert Glasper, and Josh Groban, diving into the lessons she’s learned and how she’s crafted her unique sound. We explore the modern jazz scene, how she’s making her mark, and how she balances artistry with building a thriving career.Elena Pinderhughes is a trailblazer in both jazz and pop culture, and there’s no question—her career is only going up from here.0:00:00 - INTRO0:02:42 - HOW IT ALL STARTED0:07:50 - MOVING TO NEW YORK, COMMON, ROY HARGROVE, ROBERT GLASPER, BLUE NOTE0:13:22 - FLUTE, GETTING NOTICED, UNIQUE SOUND0:17:29 - TOURING WITH COMMON, CHIEF ADJUAH0:19:49 - HERBIE HANCOCK0:25:37 - TOURING WITH HERBIE AT 21 YEARS OLD0:28:09 - I’M MAKING IT MENTALITY, ICE CREAM0:29:54 - LESSONS FROM HERBIE HANCOCK0:33:22 - FAVORITE HERBIE SONG0:34:10 - FRONT AND CENTER AT HERBIE’S LIVE SHOW, TRADING 4’S0:35:13 - ESPERANZA0:36:17 - SEMORA PINDERHUGHES0:42:02 - PLAYING WITH FUTURE, MASK OFF FLUTE, COACHELLA MAIN STAGE0:44:45 - SINGING WITH JOSH GROBAN IN HIGH SCHOOL0:45:29 - MASK OFF FLUTE LINE, FLUTE IN RAP AND POP CULTURE0:48:37 - DETERMINING YOUR BULLSEYE, GOALS0:51:18 - THE PROCESS, PUTTING IN THE WORK, NEW YORK & LA0:53:42 - THE MODERN JAZZ SCENE0:57:33 - PERSONAL PROJECTS, COLLABORATION0:58:44 - TERRACE MARTIN, SINGING, WRITING1:02:08 - HOW ELENA MAKES AN INCOME AND MAKES A CAREER‘Go with Elmo Lovano’ is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Dave King of The Bad Plus: Band History, Covers, Drumming, Mindset, Complex Emotions & State of Jazz Go with Elmo Lovano 2024-11-15 | Episode 56 - Dave King of The Bad Plus.The Bad Plus is one of the world’s most exciting and innovative ensembles. Over the past 20 years, they’ve created a groundbreaking sound that blends jazz and avant-garde music in a way that’s uniquely their own—beautifully melodic, dark, twisted, soft, loud, simple, and incredibly complex, all in one.Their drummer, Dave King, is one of my all-time favorite drummers. Creating a distinctive and instantly recognizable voice on an instrument is rare, but Dave achieved that right from their debut album.Dave joined me in the studio to discuss the story of The Bad Plus—their beginnings, the feelings of success, their mindset and approach to writing music, and the process of creating their now-iconic cover songs. We talked about meeting artists like Aphex Twin and Black Sabbath, whose music they’ve covered, and hearing their reactions. We also dove into performing on Jools Holland, touring with The Pixies as a jazz trio, their new album Complex Emotions, Dave’s hilarious web series Rational Funk, and much more.We hope you enjoy this fun and insightful conversation with the incredible Dave King!0:00:00 - INTRO0:04:29 - THESE ARE THE VISTAS, INSPIRING ELMO0:05:42 - BREAKTHROUGH AFTER RELEASING WE ARE THE VISTAS0:08:52 - HOW THE RECORD HAPPENED0:14:51 - A DIFFERENT JAZZ PIANO TRIO0:22:47 - BIG EATER, FLIM, APHEX TWIN0:26:14 - MEETING APHEX TWIN, FLIM, MEETING COVERED ARTISTS0:31:48 - JULES HOLLAND PERFORMANCE, PIXIES, TOM JONES0:36:13 - PIXIES, CONAN O’BRIAN0:40:27 - MUSIC COVERS0:48:55 - HARDEST BAD PLUS SONGS ARE COVERS, CHARIOTS OF FIRE0:50:09 - HOW TO MAKE IT AS AN AVANT GARDE MUSICIAN0:54:30 - COMPLEX EMOTIONS ALBUM, QUARTETS0:55:48 - HOW BAD PLUS WRITES MUSIC, QUARTETS0:59:00 - NAMING THE BAND, SONGS, ART DIRECTIONS, AND AESTHETICS1:00:04 - WHAT IS THE BAD PLUS NOW?

Dadabots - AI music programmers and musicians eliminating humans from music Go with Elmo Lovano 2024-08-22 | Episode 45 - This week's episode is with the AI music team, Dadabots. The co-founders CJ Carr and Zack Zukowski, are musicians and computer programers that have built an AI music system that creates original music through neural networks and machine learning. It is able to generate new songs and beats in the style of any artist, any genre, and even can create new genres. They have the longest continual stream on YouTube called RELENTLESS DOPPELGANGER that is AI music created in realtime and is ENDLESS. It's been going live since 2019 and still going. Since they're both musicians, they have a unique perspective on AI music. We talk about why they're doing this, where AI music is going, and some ideas for songwriters, producers and engineers.
