Episode 38: John Ingle
John Ingle, a.k.a. "Jingle," (or, Son of Bingle) sacrificed a portion of one of his recent Saturdays and sat with me in the Badass Records Podcast studio for a hot minute to chat about his upbringing, his creative endeavors, and a few of his favorite records.
John's one of the smartest guys I know. His archived level of detail, intellect, and understanding go way beyond my comprehension, and for those (among other) reasons, I consider it an honor and a privilege that we got to chew the fat for a few hours.
When he's not writing screenplay scripts at the local coffee shop or kicking it with his son, Archer, John can likely be found taking in some playoff baseball or revisiting one of his favorite cinematic relics.
During Episode #38, we talked about John Coltrane's Giant Steps (1960), Double Nickels on the Dime (1984) by Minutemen, and The Low End Theory (1991) by A Tribe Called Quest.
Our conversation was not "short and sweet," like that one Bob Dylan wrote about in "You're a Big Girl Now." Instead, it was quasi-lengthy and educational. It was also good fun. Hope you'll check it out.

They are samples taken from a track called "Syeeda's Song Flute" that Medeski Martin & Wood included for their 1993 record, It's a Jungle in Here (c/o Rykodisc Inc.), and even though that particular track's a Coltrane cover from the very album Mr. Ingle selected, it's featured on one of the undisputed badassest records of all time. If you don't have it in your library, please remedy that today. It'll set ya' free.
