  • Summary

  • Before the Fade explores some of the most recognizable songs in recorded history and the people responsible for making the music. Each episode includes a new guest along with your host, Angel Daahoud Murphy, a former jazz musician turned filmmaker. Angel discusses our guest’s personal connection to the song as well as the song’s background, the musician’s inspiration for the song, and the culture in which the song rose to the top and became that song.  This podcast is a precursor to a documentary we’re filming called, After the Fade, where we explore what happens after the music fades and finally hear what we never got to from some of our favorite tracks.  So sit back, relax, and listen to some legendary musicians, Oscar-winning sound engineers, and Grammy-winning producers.
