The podcast is hosted by René Myatt, a thoughtful interviewer who creates space for guests to go deep — beyond the standard career rundown. Conversations often drift into philosophy, spirituality, family history, and the parallels between making music and living a meaningful life. It's less a Q&A and more a real exchange between two people who care about the art form.

Guests range from jazz legends to emerging artists shaping the future of the music — vocalists, pianists, horn players, composers, and performers across generations. Recent and notable guests include pianist Mathis Poicard, vocal legend Houston Person, and other working artists from the jazz cruise circuit, Broadway, and major festivals worldwide.

Expect conversations about creative process, the healing power of music, mentorship, the realities of touring, jazz history and lineage, the meditative state of performance, and how artists balance commerce with craft. Episodes often weave between technical insights and broader life lessons, making them valuable whether you play music or just love listening to it.

Both. While musicians will appreciate the deep dives into craft, technique, and the inner workings of the industry, the storytelling-first approach makes every episode accessible to casual listeners. If you've ever been curious about what really goes on in the mind of an artist, you'll find plenty to connect with.
