Podcast appearances and mentions of abe laboriel

El pasado día 12 de febrero se cumplieron 8 años de la muerte de uno de los más grandes artistas de la historia del jazz y uno de nuestros músicos favoritos, el vocalista, compositor y también excelente letrista de Milwakee, Al Jarreau. Además hace unos días, concretamente el 12 de marzo Jarreau habría cumplido 85 años. En uno de los primeros Vinilos para Gatos, concretamente en el episodio número 10, os acercábamos uno de sus trabajos más desconocidos, All Fly Home del año 1978. Coincidiendo con el 5º aniversario de su muerte, en febrero de 2022 os entregamos su primera grabación oficial, We Got By del año 1975 y al año siguiente le tocó el turno a Glow. El año pasado por estas fechas os entregamos This Time, editada en el año 1980. Hoy le toca el turno a Brakin’ Away, la grabación que convirtió a nuestro homenajeado en una auténtica leyenda. Sirva como siempre esta publicación como modesto homenaje al maestro.

#734 - Abe Laboriel Jr. The Abe Laboriel Jr. Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour. Ya know, speaking of the here and now, Paul McCartney is just about to turn 80 years old. We wish him a very happy birthday here. And it brings to mind this interview, recorded at a fancy hotel in Atlanta. Our special guest is Abe Laboriel Jr.; drummer for Paul McCartney. Abe Laboriel, Jr. is the son of the legendary bassist Abraham Laboriel, Sr.  Abe Laboriel, Jr. toured with guitarist Steve Vai then he went on to tour with k. d. lang when recording artist Sting saw him perform and asked Laboriel to join his touring band.  Abe Laboriel, Jr. has worked with the likes of Sheryl Crowe, Fiona Apple, Eric Clapton, Jewel, Vanessa Carlton, Steve Lukather, Chris Isaak, French artist Johnny Hallyday, Natalie Cole, and many others.  For a long time now, Abe Laboriel, Jr. has been touring and recording with Paul McCartney. He's appeared on a couple of live albums and worked with him in the studio a bunch. Hey, listen here for just a moment. You can, if you are so inclined help The Paul Leslie Hour. Just go to thepaulleslie.com/support it only takes a minute and we thank you. Now, let's get that interview with Abe going, right here. Right now. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Abe Laboriel Jr. is the drummer on speed dial for some of the biggest names in the music business, including Eric Clapton, k.d. lang, Eddie Vedder, Melissa Etheridge…and Paul McCartney, as member of McCartney's band for the past two decades. Son of Mexican bass guitarist Abraham Laboriel and nephew of Mexican rocker Johnny Laboriel, the Berklee-College-of Music-trained drummer has music in his blood.  He's also had the pleasure of playing some of the biggest stages in the world: the Super Bowl, the Olympics and the Queen's Gold and Diamond Jubilees. Abe tells Alec why drums are his instrument of choice, what it's like to jam with Sir Paul, and how he tethers great musicians back to the band. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jerry Cantrell needs no introduction.As the frontman of one of the worlds most iconic bands in Alice In Chains, his voice, guitar skills and songwriting prowess have resonated the world over, and now he returns for his first solo album in 19 years, Brighten.Utilising a stellar line up of guest artists including drummers Gil Sharone and Abe Laboriel, Jr. (Paul McCartney), pedal steel master Michael Rozon, Vincent Jones on piano, Wurlitzer, and organ, Duff McKagan [Guns N' Roses, Loaded] on select bass tracks, Greg Puciato [Dillinger Escape Plan] handling all of the background vocals and Joe Barresi [Tool, Queens of the Stone Age] overseeing the mixing, Cantrell has turned what, in the hands of most musicians, would have been a comeback album of sorts into a spirited and enjoyable body of music that has Cantrell's immensely talented fingerprints all over it.Cantrell spoke with HEAVY this week about the new album."It's always... it's an unexpected journey,” he began. “With every record I've ever made you may have some ideas or even some songs fleshed out or some riffs or even some melody lines, but I never have a clear plan of where it is going. You just have a desire to start the process - like hey man, we've got enough rough ideas, let's give it a go - and you get in a room, and you slug it out and I'm surprised every time, like oh my God that is totally cool, that didn't exist before. I also like the fact that after a record is done you don't need to try and revisit it or remake it because it's already done, that's the best you can do. With Alice and also outside the band I'm proud to say I don't think any record sounds like another one and yet you know who it is and that's cool. That's the goal to have an identifiable musical fingerprint that comes through but also to be able to be fresh and come up with new stuff and take people on a trip and journey. Maybe a place you haven't taken them before without losing them."In the full interview, Jerry discusses the album in greater detail, having a film composer in Tyler Bates (300, John Wick) as co-producer and why, the guest artists and why he chose to work with them, lessons learnt about music and himself as a solo artist in the gap between solo albums, his main musical passions, coming up with new material after so long in the industry and more.

What would The Beatles' 1 album sound like if The Beatles never existed? What? That makes no sense. I did this show as a tribute to how every song they wrote (almost) was enduring and solid enough to be covered by their contemporaries as well as artists of the future.    The Kids From The Brady Bunch - Love Me Do (1972) This was the album on which "It's A Sunshine Day", "Keep On", and "Drummer Man" appeared. I guess you could call this album their Rubber Soul.  The Crickets - From Me To You (1964) At this point, The Crickets consisted of Sonny Curtis, Jerry Allison, Glen Hardin, and Jerry Naylor. Arranged by Leon Russell. Curtis would later write and sing the theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show, "Love Is All Around". He wrote two other songs POACA know. "I Fought The Law", originally recorded by Bobby Vee (who replaced The Crickets on the bill the night Buddy Holly died), and "More Than I Can Say" which was a huge hit years later for Leo Sayer.  Brenda Lee - She Loves You (1965) The Beatles had acted as a support act for Brenda Lee when she headlined a gig at the Star Club in Hamburg, West Germany, in 1962. For any other artist of the time, that must have seemed like the toppermost of the poppermost. The year before this, she recorded "Is It True" featuring Jimmy Page on guitar.  Sparks - I Wanna Hold Your Hand (1975) Produced by Tony Visconti, who also produced Bowie's Berlin trilogy. I cannot listen to Sparks for very long. I think the people who love them have some sort of soul deficiency. But for completion's sake, here.  David Clayton-Thomas - Can't Buy Me Love (1975) I think this was his last solo album before rejoining Blood, Sweat and Tears. Whew. Hard to believe this was never issued on CD.  After he rejoined, or maybe BECAUSE he rejoined, but more likely due to those old contractual obligations, their next two albums with him would be credited to Blood Sweat and Tears - Featuring David Clayton-Thomas. Did it make one damned bit of difference? It did not.  John Mayall - A Hard Day's Night (1976) The Beatles were deceptively excellent singers. This comes into evidence when others try to ape their recordings. Produced by Allen Toussaint, who wrote the entire record except for this one track. This album charted nowhere.  The Runaways - Eight Days a Week (1978) The Runaways were pretty limited instrumentalists. This is another deceptively difficult song to carry off. I don't think it's very good.  Alma Cogen - I Feel Fine (1967) "I'm so glad...he's got me in a whirl..." This recording was released posthumously a year after her death from leukemia. It is speculated that she had an affair with John Lennon, who shagged everything not tied down or named Cynthia at that point. Because he could.  Bee Gees - Ticket To Ride (1965) Released in 1970 without the consent of the group... but only in Germany, France, and Japan. The brothers didn't even know about it until they found it in a Swiss record store after the fact. They should have waited 7 more years. They would have made a mint.  Dolly Parton - Help! (1979) The bassist, Abe Laboriel, saw his son become Paul McCartney's drummer.  Marvin Gaye - Yesterday (1969) His next album was What's Going On.  Yellow Magic Orchestra - Day Tripper (1979)  Progress Organization - We Can Work It Out (1971) A Czech rock group. A little like Vanilla Fudge. They released exactly one album. This was on it. Aren't you happy I am here to do this stuff?  Kenny Rogers & The First Edition - Paperback Writer (1973) "If you really like it, you can help me write..." I imagine after this Kenny Rogers asked for his deposit on the practice room returned. This album was a soundtrack of their TV show of the time. I cannot tell if Thelma Camacho is on this record. I played a set of her solo stuff on one of my shows. It's awful.  Revelation - Yellow Submarine (1980) Sounds like Chic. Almost a carbon copy.  The Singers Unlimited - Eleanor Rigby (1977) A pretty cool reinvention of this excellent song. From Wikipedia: Gene Puerling took advantage of cutting-edge, multi-tracking techniques of German studio engineer Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer to create his harmonic concepts and the group's signature sound. In the overdubbing process, baritone Puerling and tenor Shelton would often add two additional middle parts, after which all parts were "doubled" and "tripled." Creating these extra tracks created the fuller, richer sound of the group's recordings. The group would record their songs by having Bonnie Herman record a simplified version of the melody, after which, Len, Gene, and Don would fill in the remaining parts. Once this process had been completed, Bonnie Herman's original melodic line would be replaced with a new one, in which she could add melodic embellishments and add "color" to the group's sound. Bass singer Len Dresslar was known as the voice of the Jolly Green Giant ("Ho, Ho, Ho!") for over 40 years, as well as the voice behind other jingles.  Bonnie Herman was the singer of the original "Like a Good Neighbor, State Farm Is There" commercial jingle, which ran for several years. She is the daughter of Lawrence Welk's original Champagne Lady Lois Best and Jules Herman, who was a trumpeter in the Welk orchestra. She is the niece of big band leader Woody Herman. Amen Corner - Penny Lane (1969) Amen Corner was a Welsh R&B-tinged pop band of the late '60s featuring singer Andy Fairweather-Low, organist Blue Weaver, guitarist Neil Jones, bassist Clive Taylor, saxophonists Allen Jones and Mike Smith, and drummer Dennis Bryon. You remember Dennis and Blue as two rock-steady members of that wonderful Bee Gees incarnation of the mid-to-late '70s.  The Anita Kerr Singers - All You Need is Love (1967) Another song that seems very simple, but without the dotted eight notes, it sounds like your rich Aunt is reading you a book. I like the touches of electric guitar.  François Glorieux - Hello, Goodbye (1977) This song translates unexpectedly well to slow classical piano...That caveman in the lower-left corner was a hidden member of The Beatles named Oook.  v Buck Owens - Lady Madonna (1976)  Brothers Johnson - Hey Jude (1976) You should know, if you do not, about an album released in 1976 called "All This and World War II". The soundtrack made money but the movie tanked.  Get Back - Clarence Reid (1969) Reid had the talent and chops to be as big as Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett, but he became more popular doing dirty parodies of soul hits (“S–ting off the Dock of the Bay,” “What a Difference a Lay Makes?”) with his XXX-rated alter-ego Blowfly.  The Percy Faith Strings - The Ballad of John and Yoko (1970) Squaresville! Isaac Hayes - Something (1970) All 11 minutes of it.  Willie Bobo and The Bo Gents - Come Together (1971) Aretha Franklin - Let It Be (1970) Maybe the best of all of these. Aretha made some shitty choices, but she was an angel in front of a mic.  Peter Frampton - The Long and Winding Road (1978) This happened. We all traipsed down to the theater in anticipation of some connection, some meaningful validation of what looked like a miracle about to happen. I cannot lie. When Billy Preston popped out of that statue or whatever, I felt pretty let down.  The Hollies - Draggin' My Heels (1977)

He has performed with many jazz, Latin, World music, World fusion, Afro-Cuban, and rock bands as a touring, session recording, and full-time player. Reyes is known for his fusion of many of the world's percussion techniques, including the ability to play a drum set with his hands in addition to the traditional use of drumsticks.   It's said that he can "sound like a drummer and a percussionist at the same time". He is well known as a long-term member of Santana, and a member of Chicago as the percussionist from 2012—2018 and the drummer since 2018.  Walfredo Reyes Jr. was born on December 18, 1955 in Havana, Cuba. He's a third generation musician in a prolific professional musical lineage on both sides of his family, including several globally notable percussion experts. His father is percussionist Walfredo Reyes, Sr.; one brother is World music percussionist Daniel de los Reyes (also with Chicago); another brother is actor Kamar de los Reyes; and his grandfather is trumpeter and Cuban orchestral organizer, Walfredo de los Reyes II. Reyes has had a lifelong interest in the music of Chicago Transit Authority, now known as Chicago. He says that the band's debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, is the first album that he had ever purchased as a youth with his own money. The following passage is written by Rick Van Horn: “Few drummers playing today can successfully combine the rich history of Latin, Afro-Cuban and World Percussion with the drum set.  For Walfredo Reyes, Jr., fusing the two disciplines has been his driving passion. In fact, by blazing this path, Reyes has challenged the technical levels of our instrument. Born in Cuba, raised in Puerto Rico, and culminating his musical style in the U.S., Wally (Walfredo Jr.) learned the traditions from the master, his father Walfredo Sr. "He married those principles with his love of the drum set, coming up with his own truly global rhythmic style. Simply put, Wally is able to sound like a drummer and a percussionist at the same time. Add blistering chops and a penchant for playing unusual patterns to the mix, and you have only a small idea of what this man can do." Not surprisingly, this one-man percussion show has gathered an impressive list of gigs over the years, including touring and/or recording with: - Carlos Santana, Traffic - Steve Winwood - Jackson Browne - Celia Cruz - Gloria Estefan - David Lindley - Ricki Lee Jones - Richard Marx - Sergio Mendes - Smokey Robinson - Robbie Robertson- Joe Sample - Boz Scaggs- Christina Aguilera - Ricky Martin - Johnny Hallyday - Khaled - Lindsey Buckingham - Chicago - And many others Because of his versatility, Walfredo is one of the most in demand musicians in the world today. He continues to expand his talents to recording, producing, composing, education, live performance, and touring.

Music is a language that musicians speak. When you start getting into the original music of the United States the richness that comes out in the music is like nothing else in the world. When "Sissy Strut" was released all the musicians in Berklee were mesmerized because it was a feel of music we could understand but not relate to. Different people began to tell us it had to do with the whole New Orleans thing. Harry Blazer and I were both going to Berklee and in those days I didn't have a car or transportation so Harry would drive me all over the place. He would ask me in a very humble way if I could teach him about time feel. Harry and I would go to my basement of my house in Boston and we would practice time feel. We both fell in love with "The Meters." That allowed us to bring a perspective into jazz that rhythm sections did not have then. When Gary hired us we were able to bring that feel to the session. I remember Peter Erskine telling me how much that record ("Gary Burton New Quartet") influenced him and George Mraz the same thing. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jake-feinberg/support

Christian “Big New York” de Mesones has been playing bass guitar for over 40 years.  He was only 18 years old when he graduated from the world-famous Bass Institute of Technology (now the Musician’s Institute) in Hollywood, California where he had the opportunity to study and workshop with greats such as Abe Laboriel, Louis Johnson, Tim Bogart, Howard Alden, Steve Morse, Pat Metheny, and the late Tommy Tedesco and Ray Brown.  By personal request from visiting guitar faculty member and legendary jazz guitarist Pat Martino, he performed an original composition for his graduation ceremony. On his new release, Christian has returned to his roots, focusing on the deeply personal Latin, funk, and rock influences that shaped his love for musical composition.  He spent 2018 performing locally and composing and recording additional material to round out his long-awaited, debut solo release, “They Call Me Big New York”.   Follow Christian on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

July 4 show!     We take this opportunity to look back at Paul McCartney's involvement in the Concert for New York City and the documentary recording the preparations for the show.     Central to the events was the new song he wrote, the short and long-term perceptions of the tune, and why some people felt overstayed it's welcome.   We are talking about "Freedom", everybody.

We celebrate Paul's 74th birthday (+ a day or two) by continuing our look at the One on One tour.    This latest round has taken McCartney and his crew to Argentina, Germany, France, Spain, the Czech Republic and the Pinkpop festival in the Netherlands.    Even on evenings when "the voice" isn't in top shape, he is still the reason everyone is coming to the show, and the result is fully entertaining.   The best description came from one reviewer, who called the show "an Instagram filter for three hours of your life."

Paul McCartney returns to the road, both in the United States, Europe and elsewhere.    We take a look at the "One on One Tour" from the inside out.    This week we consider the soundcheck experience, the material Sir Macca chooses to play each day, the vegetarian dinner, and the wonder known as Shelley Lazar.
