Most artists featured on the podcast are friends, collaborators, or mentors of María's; shared history and a general focus on relationship make for deeply honest conversations.

Episode 1 feat. Fay Victor
Brooklyn, NY based sound artist/composer Fay Victor hones a unique vision for the vocal role in jazz and improvised music regarding repertoire, improvisation and composition. Victor has an ‘everything is everything’ aesthetic, using the freedom in the moment to inform the appropriate musical response, viewing the vocal instrument as full of possibilities for sound exploration, a through-line for direct messages in an improvising context. Victor embraces all of these ideas in real time and on Victor’s 11 critically acclaimed albums as a leader one can hear the evolution of this expansive expression.
In this. episode we talk about her early days as a singer, the emotional impact of free improvisation, blues, and many other topics.
