    156: What It's Really Like to Have Perfect Pitch
    2026/10/18
    Imagine attending a concert and being able to identify every note the musicians play, including the ones they get wrong.

    For most people, that's nearly impossible. For Dave Thomas, it's part of how he experiences music.
    On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend, Cleveland pianist, music director and educator Dave Thomas, for a fascinating conversation about perfect pitch, musicianship and a lifetime devoted to music.

    Dave takes me back to his childhood, when watching musicians perform in church sparked his interest in playing the piano. Years later, a high school music teacher recognized something unusual about his musical abilities. Dave could identify notes simply by hearing them, without needing another instrument or reference note.

    That discovery helped shape the direction of his life.

    We explore what perfect pitch actually means, how it differs from relative pitch, and why Dave can sit through a performance and recognize notes, chords and musical mistakes that most listeners would never notice. He also shares how this ability sometimes makes attending concerts a very different experience.

    Our conversation takes us through Dave's career performing with musicians including Dizzy Gillespie, Grover Washington Jr. and Jennifer Holliday. We discuss what he's learned from working with accomplished performers and why even the most experienced musicians occasionally make mistakes.
    But Dave's contributions extend far beyond the stage.

    As a music educator and director, Dave works with talented young musicians throughout Cleveland, helping them develop their listening skills, understand musical arrangements and prepare for performances. We talk about the importance of music education, recognizing talent and creating opportunities for students to grow.

    Dave also shares how his experiences in gospel, jazz, R&B and orchestral music have influenced his ability to bring different musicians together and create memorable performances.

    This conversation is about more than having a remarkable musical gift. It's about what happens when natural ability meets decades of experience, dedication and a desire to help others discover what they're capable of.

    155: Why Bob Baldwin Believes Artists Should Own Their Music
    2026/09/27
    What does it take to build a music career that lasts for decades while still owning the work you've created?

    On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I sit down with pianist, producer, radio host and entrepreneur Bob Baldwin for a conversation about music, longevity, collaboration and the business behind the art.

    Bob takes me back to his beginnings as a pianist inspired by his father and explains how his career eventually expanded into radio, producing, arranging, entrepreneurship and running his own record label. He also shares the discipline behind his productivity and a surprisingly simple philosophy: instead of trying to create an entire album at once, focus on creating one song at a time.

    We also talk about how technology has changed the recording process. Bob appreciates what technology makes possible, but he believes there is still something powerful about musicians creating together in the same room and responding to one another in real time.

    Bob shares his role in helping create more space within smooth jazz for flute players and women artists, including his work with Ragan Whiteside, Althea Rene and Kim Scott.

    We also get into the relationships behind a lasting music career. From Will Downing to Pieces of a Dream, Bob explains why successful collaborations aren't simply about finding talented musicians. Chemistry, relationships and the right energy matter too.

    And then we get to a subject every independent musician should be thinking about: ownership.
    Bob talks about mentoring emerging artists and why he believes understanding your rights, royalties and ownership can be more valuable than simply signing with a major label. He points to artists and entrepreneurs including Prince, Michael Jackson, Bob James, Dave Grusin and Herb Alpert as examples that influenced the way he thinks about the business of music.

    After decades in the industry, Bob is still writing, recording, mentoring and looking for the next idea.
    This conversation is about what happens when you stop thinking only about making music and start thinking about building something that can last.

    154: From Cleveland to the National Stage | Sarah’s Girl
    2026/09/20
    What happens when music isn't something you choose, but something that has been part of you for as long as you can remember?

    On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I sit down with Cleveland vocalist Sarah’s Girl, also known as Stacy, for a conversation about family, performing, finding her place in music and the personal story behind the name audiences know her by.

    Stacy grew up surrounded by music. Her family had a gospel choir, her mother was a musician, her father was a musician and singing became such a natural part of her childhood that she doesn't remember making a decision to become a singer.

    We talk about the surprising contrast between who she is away from the stage and who audiences see when she performs. Stacy describes herself as an introvert who enjoys solitude, yet she has been performing in front of audiences since she was a child. At 12 years old, she sang lead with a 1,000-voice choir before an arena filled with thousands of people.

    Stacy also shares the personal meaning behind Sarah’s Girl. Her mother, Sarah, was a well-known Cleveland musician, and people would recognize Stacy as “Sarah’s girl.” After her mother passed, Stacy adopted the name as a tribute to her.

    We also get into the opportunities that have taken her beyond Cleveland. After James Lloyd of Pieces of a Dream heard her perform, an invitation to sing with the group eventually grew into touring with them. Stacy has now spent several years on the road with Pieces of a Dream and has also performed background vocals for artists including Anthony Hamilton.

    And then there's her own music. We talk about “One Day at a Time” and her new single “Easy Life,” which has been gaining radio exposure beyond Cleveland.

    This conversation is about a singer whose career has taken her onto some very big stages while the name she carries keeps her connected to where her musical story began.
