Show Notes
Beebs & Jake are joined by the immensely talented Tommy Emmerton.
They discuss Tommy's working life as a professional guitarist on The Book Of Mormon in the West End of London. They also talk about his work as Jazz harmony teacher at Guildhall, his original projects and what it's like to play the 'Beat It' solo for Quincy Jones' on tour!
This is a great episode and touches on everything that's been discussed during recent shows. There are some deep dive side quests into modal harmony, chord scale theory, technique, and they even ponder the nature of what it means to be a 'jazz musician'. Strap in and nerd out!
