Episode 404: Episode 404 - Bjorn Yttling discusses "Money Jungle" from Duke Ellington

About this episode

Bjorn Yttling discusses his new jazz album and the classic 'Money Jungle' while exploring various music-related topics.

Bjorn Ytlling...yeah he's the "Bjorn" of the group Peter, Bjorn and John...visits with us to discuss " Illegal Hit (Out of Bounds)," his first jazz album in like two decades under the moniker of "Yttling Jazz." Since Bjorn is in full jazz mode, he wanted to discuss "Money Jungle" that is credited to Duke Ellington but also includes jazz legends Max Roach and Charlie Mingus. Plenty of other discussion including The Radioheads, tugboats, Peter Hook, illegal hockey hits, taxi drivers inspiring a title to a song, and did you know that "Young Folks" was originally a jazz song? We don't discuss jazz all that often on this podcast so this was a nice detour. Even if you're not a fan of jazz music, hopefully there's something here for you to explore. Enjoy!
