About this episode

Episode 118 explores modern jazz, bass-driven grooves, and nostalgic music through various performances.

Derek is back once again for Episode 118, guiding this one through jazz precision, modern groove, and a perfectly placed nostalgic turn. Derek opens with a sophisticated, melodic performance from the Branford Marsalis Quartet , setting the tone with interplay, tone, and top-tier musicianship. Jonathan follows with a rhythm-forward, bass-driven track from Vincen García , bringing modern fusion energy and tight pocket playing into the mix. Curtis then shifts things into a more atmospheric space with a live performance from David Gilmour and Romany Gilmour , where mood, texture, and restraint take center stage. In the category songs , Derek introduces Youth Group Moments , pulling a track from Amy Grant that taps directly into a very specific era of earnest songwriting and shared musical memory. Jazz sophistication, modern groove, live performance nuance, and a nostalgic callback that hits a little too close to home—Episode 118 delivers a little bit of everything. Curtis Gross is a self-employed video editor. Jonathan Workman is an adult learning consultant based in Wichita, KS. --- Make sure you are subscribed to Why Is This So Hard For You.
