Jimmy Broadbent in the Road to Succes Podcast, about Franz Hermann and Max in other categories

"There's very little people that can say that they have raced Max so much and got to see the inner workings of his personality as clearly as you. In a sim, which we all know means the world to him, as well as actually on track. You were on track with Franz Hermann at the Nürburgring! What was that whole experience like? Did you know before that happened?"

"Sat on the track at the same time is certainly correct but that's about it. We had an idea he was gonna be there. I had sort of a friend of a friend say to me: watch out for a Franz Hermann on this day. And I saw it… I saw a picture of the car there, the Verstappen.com Ferrari with Franz Hermann and a Dutch flag and I thought to myself: for fuck's sake, it's definitely gonna be him. And obviously it turns out his was him. And again, for Max, this is where I feel a bit sorry for the guy because he wanted to just turn up and go do some laps at the Ring in a GT3 car. And he did that. And for us as creators, this is the part about YouTube I hate but you kind of have to do it because that's the game, then I'd be like: now I have a short of him overtaking me whilst I was like 'bedding in my drive shaft, driving around at like 50% pace he overtook me, oh my god Max overtook me on YouTube.' And then my whole video is like: 'Max turned up to the Nürburgring' and stuff like that. And you have to do that. And it's kind of sad. Because the guy just wanted to be left alone, I think. And then as news started to break that he was there, more and more people started flocking down to the garage, it gets harder to move around the paddock. And I remember seeing… because one of our cameramen went down to get a shot of him basically, and seeing him just trying to get from his van, which is basically from this end of this van to the paddock or to the garage, not very far at all. He was getting mobbed. TV guys, everything. He just wanted to do some laps."

[…]

"I'm really looking forward - and I really hope this happens - that he'll just find what he wants in F1, leave and then just go and get to live his life. Because… I'm on no place to comment on what his upbringing was like. I don't know. You only hear stories about what it was like. But what is painfully obvious: all he's ever known is that sort of racing: karting into Formula into Formula 1, that's it, on these circuits and nowhere else. And I'm a massive racing fan. I wouldn't say F1 is my favourite racing, you know, I love endurance racing, I love the circuits, I love the prototypes, I love rallying, stuff like that. And I think he's kind of the same. Again, I don't know him personally."

[about the popularity of different racing categories] "Do you think it's coming for those other series? And do you think Max is actually potentially a part, if he does leave and goes to them, of making that a thing?"

"Yeah, I mean, wherever Max goes there'll be media. I mean, there have been some teams at the Ring saying they don't want Max to go there because it'll make everything a lot harder: the competition will go up which means that the top classes will be top heavy which means the bottom classes, which is the accessible part, will be sort of pushed out, etc. etc. That's the sort of pessimistic thinking there."

[nvm-illustration]

So here's a commissioned piece for Jimmy Broadbent's birthday from his partner Annie.. (Though he did get it early!)

If you don't know Jimmy or if you're not part of the sim racing community, Jimmy's story is somewhat incredible and I would highly suggest checking him out.

I've been a massive fan of Jimmer for a long while and the fact I got to make this for him is honestly incredible. In the same way that he's gone from racing virtually to competing in the 24 hours of the Nordschleife is incredible. I can't help but draw the comparison to myself, spending years drawing things that didn't bring me joy, that I found boring to then only within the last few years be able to take the plunge and express my love for motorsport in all of it's aspects (and showing results)

Absolute dream come true.

sobbing at this rn

[vroomvroomthings]

0 days since Max mentioned the inchident...

[dear-ao3]

the magical thing about f1 is that the drivers on track take themselves seriously but anywhere else and they're all just chilling 😭 was watching a Jimmy Broadbent sim racing video with Max in it, and max sounds like any other shit talking gamer, you'd never guess he drove in f1

literally it’s so fucking funny. max verstappen can and will kick everyone’s ass on track, curse you out over the radio and maybe beat you up in the garage after if your name is esteban ocon. but he uses his championship trophies to prop up christmas cards and lives in fear of his cats destroying his apartment. duality of man.

Orbit and Jimmy Broadbent reacting to seeing the "Max Verstappen: Connected" message pop up

+chat reaction

[robinfrinjs]

It outrages me badly that Jimmy Broadbent posts an incident without any context behind it just for clicks and captions it "DID HE BRAKE CHECK US??" Despite full well knowing it was due to an incident outside of the driver's control. Only later commenting the context after the comments are already flooded, outraged by the incident.

I can't really put it into words well, but the driver is part of Team BRIT, a team where all drivers are disabled. Everyone competing knows and just randomly posting obvious rage bait feels so disingenuous.

"get to know people better" tag game! (thanks @neonsnailcity for the tag!! :D )

3 ships: see i could do a joke here and list three boats, but unfortunately i don't know any well enough for that. HMS Beagle. that's all i got. okay, anyway:

Mohwee / Oeca (Outsiders SMP -- i've been thinking about them constantly for the past like seventy-hours. is it the height of romance to decide that you can and should be the only one who gets to witness your friend-rival's death. to come staggering out a death trap covered in blood and missing an eye and immediately start screaming at everyone for mistreating your rival-friend who left you to die. to go running off into the woods on a stormy night to have a conversation that is so completely just for the two of you that even the medium in which your story is told keeps that secret for you. the correct answer is yes.)

fWhip / Pix (Empires SMP season 1 -- what if they were both in love with Jimmy Solidarity and never breathed a fucking word about it to anyone but each other. that thing where you both know the other person isn't actually who you want but they're the only one who gets it and it's better than nothing and the weight of this terrible secret is just the slightest bit lighter when you're together.)

Martyn / Scott (Life Series -- based on what i've posted on ao3, i am kind of obligated to put these guys on the list. every time i think i'm done thinking about them i get suckerpunched by another thought about them.)

1st ever ship: hm. earliest one i have record of is Lucy Carlyle / Anthony Lockwood from the Lockwood & Co. book series!

last song: according to spotify, "Slide it in" by Jack Broadbent. according to me, "Through the Leaves" by Alan Gogoll.

last film: oh no. uhhhhhh it might still be Bones and All, which i watched back in august and have definitely mentioned in a different tag game before.

currently reading: um. Synaptic by Alison Calder, which is a poetry collection i'm very slowly working my way through. also kind of the 2023 Griffin Poetry Prize anthology? sometimes i just go, "i want a poem," and open that to a random page.

currently watching: owengejuice's twenty-one hour video of the entirety of outsiders smp! i'm on hour three and a half :]

currently consuming: ...water? i just had some cantaloupe like an hour ago?

currently craving: a fucking nap.

“…AND ON PIANO, MIKI YAMANAKA…”

With CHELSEA BARATZ, Charles Owens, Kris Monson, and Jimmy Macbride, SMALLS JAZZ CLUB, 25 APRIL 2025, 6 pm set

With JAMILE and Matt Penman, MEZZROW, 27 APRIL 2025, 9 pm set

I seem to be on a not wholly intentional MIKI YAMANAKA tear, particularly as I have free streams to both sets of her The Jazz Gallery composer’s residency for tonight (3 May 2025) which gives her a bigger ensemble’s voices (sax, vibes, marimba, bass, drums, and percussion) to write for. But I had these two gigs with her as a side woman, one with a singer, which illuminate her playing. It has been an interesting but not wholly rewarding, for me, experiment.

I seem to catch the vast majority of YAMANAKA’s leader gigs as she’s with Alan Broadbent, Ari Hoenig, and Michael Kanan among the Small’s Live regulars on my list. She plays big and smart with a broad grasp of the repertoire. So she gets enough calls to be on others’ gigs. She was impressive with Curtis Nowasad a month ago and had fun with Frank Lacy in late January, but a gig around that same time with Sarah Hanahan just wasn’t a good bandstand.

So, similarly she didn’t get a lot of traction with CHELSEA BARATZ. But then again it was an odd gig. While her name was on the gig, her friend/mentor and more frequent Smalls leader Charles Owens was mostly calling the shots, directing traffic, and counting off tunes. He was also the more interesting soloist with a more nuanced tone. BARATZ has some grit with a throaty tone that suited the r&b flavored material—the Spinners’ Could It Be I’m Following In Love from my car radio days, an unfamiliar Bacharach tune Something Big, and the latter day And We Go Gentle by Hiatus Kaiyote—which was significantly marred by her feeble vocals. But the set opened with a tune off of that recently recovered John Coltrane album and closed with Charlie Parker’s Au Privave. So there was some jazz and Yamanaka made the most of it.

She evidently pretty regularly accompanies Brazilian singer JAMILE Staevie Ayres. Working with singers is a good exercise for pianists and, as with Broadbent and Kanan, it can impact the rest of one’s playing. I think she’s getting some of that benefit, but JAMILE just isn’t the singer for her. That she brings her important home music into the gig is appropriate. All three handled it well, but, curiously, Yamanaka doesn’t bring bossas into her own gigs. The standards were, uh, standard—a brisk Love For Sale, Never Will I Marry, Sometimes I’m Happy (where the vocal affectations came out) plus Herbie Hancock’s Coming Running To Me. Yamanaka did show another side of her playing admirably. JAMILE needed to be there to be accompanied, but she left me cold. Matt Penman, maybe figuring no one was paying all that much attention (except me), seemed to do wonderfully inventive things behind both pianist and vocalist. There are lots of JAMILE gigs with Yamanaka in the Smalls Archive, but I’m not likely to check them out.

Improvement Later in Life

Highly recommend just letting this roll in the background during the day. It's fucking tremendous. Just fucking tremendous.

Specifically, the guitarist Anthony Wilson and the bassist Bob Hurst. I've had the pleasure of meeting Bob Hurst back in the day, and he's just awesome. I'm not sure if he's still the head of the jazz department at Michigan, but I'm pretty sure he at least still teaches bass there.

Wilson...trust me, there's gonna be more on him coming. I just need to listen more. He's fucking unbelievable.

But this post is about Diana Krall.

Krall has somewhat of a mixed reputation in the jazz world...that actually should've said "had" because she's done an increidble amount of work to successfully shut people up over the years. Will she ever be confused for Keith Jarrett? No. Will she ever be confused for Ella Fitzgerald? No*.

*There's a woman I've been listening to named Marina Pacowski, who is a classically trained pianist and unbelievable singer tho that can kinda live up to that. She's great too.

But I've been listening to Krall's stuff the past two weeks and her improvement over the years is shocking. She's been a "jazz star" for decades now...and it actually feels silly putting that in quotes, considering she's one of the few jazz musicians that can pack theaters and large halls year after year after year.

If there were any complaints about the quality of her musicianship, there have never been any of those levied towards her work as a bandleader...which has been exceptional since day 1. Her band is one of the jazz guitar's coveted positions...steady, high profile and well paying. It's no coincidence that she's had Wilson (at top) and Russell Malone (below) as her second in command since the turn of the century.

But this post isn't about guitarists...it's about Krall's steady, consistent improvement in her own skillset.

Below I'm going to queue these two videos up to one her her solos...one from 1996 and the other from 2022. Just listen to how much she's improved over these years, and how much more advanced her melodic playing is now than it was back then.

We're talking an already established music star back in 1996. She's already packing theaters at this point...she didn't really have to put in the work. But once you compare the two, you'll see she absolutely did, and continues to do so.

The 2022 example, I actually started a bit earlier. Pay attention to her comping. She has been putting in the hours and sounds like goddamned McCoy Tyner backing up Coltrane. Fuck yes.

In the 2022 example, Wilson lays down just a goddamned great solo...something great enough that it'd take something extra to follow that shit up. If you listened to her critics, you'd think her take might be a let down...

Instead they kick it into double time, and she just RIPS. No qualifiers, no "she's a better bandleader than musician" backhanded compliments...just a ripping solo in the pocket the entire time. 4:00-5:16 is straight up owning it.

She's been working for years with teachers Alan Broadbent and Jimmy Rowles, and...I mean, shit...it's pretty obvious the improvement's been significant. It's not like she was bad before...it's just now she's a pianist that's really got a whole lot working, adding another dimension to a musical recipe that's been packing houses for decades now.

It's really incredible shit to see someone hit the ground running at the beginning of their career, refuse to rest on their laurels, and despite already being at the top of their profession, they continue to grind and work and get better.

You do see this typically with psychos that are hardwired to keep pushing themselves. People who started early on and don't understand anything more than putting the pedal to the metal. But for someone later in life, who already had an established working career, to put that work in and watch it pay off is fucking great. It's inspiring as hell.

You want to know why she always has the best bands? It's not because she's a premier virtuoso...it's because she's leading the band, doing arrangements, singing, and still putting in the practice to become more dynamic, a more able musician. Like I said, it's inspiring as hell.

Jimmy Broadbent in the Road to Succes Podcast, about Max participating in The Race for Mental Health

"We know Max is literally all about the racing and he puts racing in front of everything but he actually participated in an event that meant a lot to you. How did that happen?"

"We run an event called The Race for Mental Health and I think we had our sixth year of it last year and the whole idea is to raise money for MIND, the mental health charity. Because, as I've spoken about today, I had my own challenges for a while and a lot of people do. And I think a lot of people don't talk about them. So it's a good thing, maybe a little instigator for people to realise that: yeah, it's okay to talk about these things. And, not the race that just went but the year before, Max basically stealth entered with his team. We had no idea he was coming until I was on the circuit and saw: Max Verstappen. Oh! And he was in the car that I knew he would drive. It was with his team, basically. And he came in, donated a ton of money and raced, had fun and then left.

*whisper* "How much money did he donate, Jimmy?"

"Well, I mean, like… I think it's been in the five figures he's donated each time, something like that. And then this year, I sent a message. I said: do you mind if I-- I know you're doing it. Do you mind if I say you're doing it? Because it's gonna help bring people in and like, I wouldn't usually-- I think it must be so tough having such a profile that you can't just turn up and do something you wanna do. So I thought: I'll give you the option, I'm not gonna do it without your permission. He said yes. Which is good for us so we could advertise the event more and it turned out to be our biggest event in terms of money we'd ever raised. I think it was just shy of a 100k we raised. And again, Max donated over 10k, I think, for the penalty system. He took part in it, was a good sport. I mean… He's just a guy who loves racing."

Helping his grid kids take their hats off for the anthems if they forget.

I want to start a kind Max chain with kind things he has done, reblog if you have something sweet to say.

I'll start:

Max always seems to praise others when he can. Even when he had a bad race, he is there to congratulate the others 💙
