About this listen

He sounded like he was falling down the stairs — but always landed exactly where he meant to. With angular harmonies, stubborn silences, and rhythms that danced sideways, he built a world that defied rules and yet made perfect sense. In this episode, we explore the mystery and the method behind the misunderstood genius: his uncompromising vision, his singular style, and the deep swing hiding in every unexpected note.
