Stereo Embers: The Podcast

"Ben Jaffe Makes Me Guess How Old His Dad Is" Ben Jaffe may have grown up with a father who was a bit older than the other dads, but his record collection was far more comprehensive and it gave the younger Jaffe a wider musical palette to draw from. Raised on Art Blakey, classical music and blues, Jaffe’s wide array of tastes are all over his new album Oh, Wild Ocean Of Love. The honey honey guitarists’ solo debut will be out in early 2018, but he shares two new tracks from the record that are featured on today’s show. Alex and Ben talk about L.A. Confidential, Caleb Carr, Paul Simon and how having curiosity can push us artistically.
