    • 120: What Guitar Taught Me About Helping Others

      120: What Guitar Taught Me About Helping Others
      Jan 25 2026
      Welcome back to The Jazz Flyte Podcast. On this episode, I’m joined by guitarist Deepak Thettu, an artist whose journey proves that musicians are often much more than what we see on stage. Deepak is not only a smooth jazz guitarist, but also a longtime occupational therapist, and this conversation explores how those two worlds connect in powerful and unexpected ways.

      We start with his early relationship with music, growing up in the guitar-driven soundscape of the 1980s, watching MTV, and being surrounded by musician friends. After a high school injury shifted his path, the guitar became more than a hobby, eventually leading him from New York to Hollywood and the Musicians Institute. That move would become life-changing, especially through his mentorship with Norman Brown, long before the rest of the world knew his name.

      Deepak shares how studying music seriously reshaped the way he listens, practices, and feels groove, and why consistency, patience, and touch matter more than speed or flash. We talk about how rhythm and feel must live in your body, not just your fingers, and why learning slowly is often the fastest way forward.

      The conversation then shifts into his work as an occupational therapist, where music quietly plays a role in how he connects with children, helps them regulate, and supports their ability to function in everyday life. Deepak opens up about balancing a demanding day job with a growing music career, managing time, family, and creative energy, and why playing live music has become a form of release and healing.

      This episode is about discipline without burnout, passion without ego, and honoring all the parts of who you are. If you’ve ever wondered how music, purpose, and service can coexist, this conversation will resonate deeply.

      119: The Memphis Sound Explained: Why Soul Can’t Be Taught
      Jan 18 2026
      Welcome back to The Jazz Flyte Podcast. On this episode, I’m joined by Donald Hayes, a Memphis-born saxophonist, arranger, composer, and creative force whose sound is rooted in gospel, blues, funk, and soul. Donald has played on stages around the world, worked with some of the biggest names in music, and scored for film and television, yet he’s never lost the essence of where he comes from.

      We dive deep into what makes the Memphis sound so unmistakable and why soul music isn’t just a genre, but a feeling, a skill set, and a way of life. Donald shares how growing up in church shaped his musical instincts, how the saxophone chose him, and why life experience matters just as much as theory. We talk about learning discipline, knowing when not to play, and how serving the song is always more important than showing off technique.

      Donald also opens up about what he’s learned from working with artists like Marcus Miller, Robin Thicke, Wayman Tisdale, and Kirk Whalum, from songwriting and practice habits to connecting with an audience on a deeper level. We explore his approach to composing for film, how tempo and visual storytelling guide his creative process, and the personal meaning behind his album Soul Searchin’.

      This conversation is about more than music. It’s about groove, purpose, mentorship, and pressing on even when the journey gets heavy. If you love stories that live at the intersection of soul, jazz, and lived experience, this one is for you.

    • 118: The Birth of Touch: When Jazz Became Personal

      118: The Birth of Touch: When Jazz Became Personal
      Jan 11 2026
      On this episode of The Jazz Flyte Podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with one of jazz’s true pioneers—John Klemmer. From the first few moments of our conversation, I could feel the weight of his experience, passion, and humility. John shares how his journey started with a guitar at five years old, and how he eventually found his voice through the saxophone, playing in Chicago jam sessions before most kids knew what jazz even was.

      We talk about his early days with Cadet Records, how Eddie Harris and other Chicago legends shaped his foundation, and his signing with the iconic Impulse Records. But what really moved me was hearing how Touch came to be—not just as a record, but as a spiritual moment in his life. John opens up about creating music that reflects internal change, why humility is the greatest lesson he learned from the jazz elders, and what Maurice White once shared with him before founding Earth, Wind & Fire.

      He also talks about staying creative today, his Jazz on the Patio video series, and his newest project Chateau Love. From producing songs with Minnie Riperton to watching Maya Rudolph grow up, John’s life is a timeline of incredible moments in music history.

      If you love music that moves the soul and stories that dig deep, you don’t want to miss this conversation.
