You may not know the name Barry Eastmond, but chances are good if you were paying attention to r&b hits in the 80s that you know a bunch of his songs. He started out as a session keyboardist playing with greats like Change and Starpoint, but his big breakthrough was when he penned "You Are My Lady" for Freddie Jackson and watched it climb the pop and r&b charts. He went on to have a long and fruitful partnership with Freddie and Billy Ocean, who he continues to work with on new material right now. For Billy he wrote hits like "When The Going Gets Tough" and "There'll be Sad Songs". We also hear about Anita Baker, Jeffrey Osborne, The Temptations, Aretha, Al Jarreau, James Ingram, Diana Ross, Steve Perry, Britney Spears and tons more. It's rare we get to go deep on soul music on the podcast, so we're especially grateful to hear from Barry. Enjoy!  www.barryeastmond.com www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray of Queue Points podcast for a bonus crossover centered on Netflix's The Greatest Night in Pop. The conversation traces the recording of We Are the World, covering the roles played by Harry Belafonte, Ken Kragen, Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, and Quincy Jones in assembling the session, along with standout moments involving Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, Cyndi Lauper, and Al Jarreau. The group also discusses points of frustration with the documentary, including Prince's absence, the treatment of Sheila E., and Patti LaBelle missing the recording the year before her own breakout. Before the review, DJ Sir Daniel and Jay Ray walk through the origins of Queue Points tracing the show's start back to the Salt-N-Pepa Lifetime biopic and the public dispute involving Spinderella. A Time Capsule segment rounds out the front half, with selections including Valentino's 1975 recording of I Was Born This Way, Earth Wind and Fire, A Tribe Called Quest's Stressed Out, and the full catalog of Destiny's Child.The back half of the episode moves into a hypothetical modern version of the recording, with the group debating a 2026 lineup that includes Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, SZA, The Weeknd, and Questlove. Big Mad turns to the impact of the Canadian wildfires on air quality, commentary on Dame Dash carried over from a previous live show, and frustration with anime fans who argue that shows like One Piece, Dragon Ball Z, and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood contain no political themes. Small Joys closes things out with DJ Sir Daniel's vinyl copy of Black Milk's Ceremonial, upcoming DJ sets at Stereo Atlanta and JB's Record Lounge, and Ode's read of Jessica Cage's Accidents Happen series. DJ Sir Daniel and J-Ray close by pointing to QPoints.com for the weekly podcast and Thursday night Queue Points Live sessions.Queue Points is the Black Podcasting Award and Ambie Award-nominated music podcast and media platform that celebrates Black music history and culture through smart, entertaining conversation.

J&K bring their record nerdiness to the new bFM studio on Karanghape Road. Al Jarreau's Glow turned 50 on the day of broadcast, so "Have You Seen the Child" opened the show, paired straight after with JJ Farley's "God Will Understand It". A Tribe Called Quest's Beats, Rhymes and Life hit 30 a few days prior, marked here with the tribe's first Dilla production "Get a Hold". Fela's death anniversary fell on the same day, honoured through Sub_ModU's rework of "Expensive Shit" rather than the version everyone knows, and Fat Larry got three cuts in a row for his birthday, which is as good a reason as any to play a run of Fat Larry's Band. Around those anchor points the set moves through Brazilian boogie, British soul-jazz and rare groove without losing the plot, Sandra De Sa and Bossa Nostra sitting comfortably next to Young Disciples and Drizabone. New material from Homeboy Sandman and Jack Splash's "Resonance Frequency".

In the 1980s, he was the drummer for Mr. Mister when they were at their peak with the hits "Kyrie" and "Broken WIngs."

Un viaje inolvidable por las perlas más suaves y elegantes del smooth jazz, con historias detrás de los artistas que lo hicieron posible Bienvenidos al episodio 75 de **Smooth Jazz Classics**, donde no solo revivimos tracks icónicos, sino que también exploramos un poco del alma detrás de cada uno. Este volumen es un homenaje a la era dorada del smooth jazz (con fuertes raíces en los 90 y 2000s) mezclado con toques más contemporáneos. Aquí encontrarás saxos que susurran emociones, guitarras que acarician como una brisa de atardecer y ritmos que invitan a desconectar del ruido del mundo. Desde clásicos que marcaron generaciones hasta piezas que siguen sonando frescas décadas después, este episodio es ideal para tardes relajadas, noches de luna llena, paseos costeros o simplemente para dejar que la música te envuelva sin prisas. Vamos a sumergirnos en la tracklist con algunas anécdotas y curiosidades de los artistas que dan vida a estas joyas. **Tracklist – Smooth Jazz Classics Vol. 75** - **1994 | Richard Elliot – Candlelight** Richard Elliot, el saxofonista escocés criado en Los Ángeles, comenzó su viaje musical gracias a la colección de discos de su hermana mayor: desde Joni Mitchell y Santana hasta Smokey Robinson y The Temptations. Un momento transformador fue escuchar a Dexter Gordon en vivo; él mismo dijo que pensó “estoy acabado, nunca sonaré como esto”. Pero forjó su propio estilo, fusionando R&B, rock y smooth jazz. Con más de 20 singles Top 10 en el género, tracks como *Candlelight* capturan esa calidez íntima que lo convirtió en un referente indiscutible. - **1997 | Boney James – Sweet Thing** Boney James lanzó este álbum homónimo en 1997, con colaboraciones estelares como Al Jarreau en “I Still Dream”. El título track es un groove seductor que samplea y rinde homenaje a clásicos del R&B/funk. Boney, conocido por su enfoque en melodías accesibles y soulful, giró con Jarreau tras este disco, fortaleciendo su presencia en el smooth jazz de los 90. Un álbum que destila puro feeling nocturno. - **2008 | Warren Hill – La Dolce Vita** El saxofonista alto canadiense Warren Hill firmó con Koch Records para este álbum, cuyo título track fue un #1 en las listas de smooth jazz. Warren es un pionero olvidado por algunos: ¡él organizó el primer Smooth Jazz Cruise del mundo en 2004! Tras años de éxito en cruceros temáticos, volvió a enfocarse en su música. *La Dolce Vita* evoca esa “dulce vida” italiana con elegancia y swing mediterráneo. - **1994 | Joe McBride – Walking In Rhythm** Una pieza groovy y bailable que captura el espíritu upbeat del smooth jazz de mediados de los 90, con influencias de funk y R&B que invitan a mover los pies sutilmente. - **2009 | The Sax Pack – Can't Help Myself** The Sax Pack era un supergrupo de saxofonistas (incluyendo a Steve Cole, Jeff Kashiwa y Kim Waters en diferentes etapas), y este track del álbum *The Pack Is Back* es un hit infeccioso con palmas, teclas y saxos en armonía. Es de esos temas que te hacen decir “no puedo evitarlo”… ¡y terminas moviendo la cabeza al ritmo! - **1999 | Chieli Minucci – Fresh And Clean** Chieli Minucci, líder eterno de Special EFX, lanzó esta pieza fresca y pulida bajo su nombre. Su estilo melódico y world music siempre añade un toque exótico y luminoso; *Fresh And Clean* es como un soplo de aire puro, perfecto para refrescar el alma. - **1997 | Paul Taylor – Pleasure Seeker** Paul Taylor, con su saxo tenor cálido y sensual, entrega aquí un groove irresistible que busca (y encuentra) puro placer auditivo. Un clásico de finales de los 90 que sigue sonando sofisticado y adictivo. - **2010 | Tim Bowman – Let It Shine** Tim Bowman, el guitarrista smooth jazz con raíces gospel (nació en 1959 y debutó en 1996), llevó este track al #1 en las listas Billboard Smooth Jazz. Su sonido limpio y uplifting, con toques inspiradores, refleja su enfoque en música que eleva el espíritu. Tres tracks suyos en este volumen: *Let It Shine*, *Soul Dream* y *Acoustic Rain* muestran su versatilidad entre grooves luminosos y baladas acústicas soñadoras. - **2010 | Tim Bowman – Soul Dream** Una balada soulful que invita a soñar despierto, con la guitarra de Bowman tejiendo melodías que tocan el corazón. - **2010 | Tim Bowman – Acoustic Rain** Imagina lluvia suave cayendo mientras la guitarra acústica fluye… este track es pura serenidad y atmósfera relajante. - **2005 | Nils – Pacific Coast Highway** Nils evoca los paisajes costeros de California con este tema que suena a carretera abierta, sol y mar. Un clásico del smooth jazz instrumental que transporta directamente a un drive eterno por la costa pacífica. - **1999 | Norman Brown – Out'a Nowhere** Norman Brown, influenciado por George Benson, entrega en *Celebration* (su álbum de 1999) este track sorpresivo y alegre que aparece “de la nada” con grooves que unen a la gente. Su meta siempre ha sido “una vida unida a través de la música”, y este tema lo logra con su estilo laid-back y melódico. - **2021 | Mezzoforte – Cruising** La banda islandesa de jazz-funk-fusion Mezzoforte (famosos por “Garden Party” en los 80) regresó con energía en los 2000s y 2020s. *Cruising* es un groove fresco y moderno que cierra el episodio con un toque de jazz-funk actualizado, perfecto para sentir que sigues navegando sin fin. Este episodio 75 es más que una playlist: es un recorrido por artistas que han dedicado décadas a crear música que calma, inspira y conecta. Desde los inicios influenciados por Motown y R&B hasta producciones que siguen dominando las listas smooth jazz, todos estos tracks tienen historias de pasión, evolución y puro amor por el sonido. ¡Dale play, relájate y déjate llevar por 75 episodios de Smooth Jazz Classics! Perfecto para concentrarte, desconectar o simplemente disfrutar de la buena vibra. 🎷🌅✨

Hay canciones que no son solo música; son monumentos. Estructuras de mármol que el tiempo ha dejado intactas, partituras que todos hemos visitado hasta conocer cada rincón de su arquitectura. Pero hoy, en Música para Gatos, no nos interesa el mapa del arquitecto. Nos interesa el incendio. Nos interesa qué sucede cuando un artista decide que la obra original no es una jaula, sino un trampolín. Bienvenidos a un episodio dedicado a la valentía. Hoy no vamos a pasar lista a los clásicos; vamos a ser testigos de su reinvención. Porque interpretar un estándar es un oficio, pero habitarlo hasta hacerlo sangrar, hasta que se parezca más a quien lo toca que a quien lo escribió, eso es un milagro que ocurre pocas veces. Hoy no escucharemos 'versiones'. Esa palabra se queda corta. Lo que hoy vamos a presenciar son apropiaciones de identidad. ¿Qué lleva a Tania Maria a convertir la lluvia de Jobim en un volcán de teclados y percusión? ¿Cómo es capaz Al Jarreau de desafiar no solo al mismísimo Gillespie sino a la inspiración gracias a la cual Gillespie creo el tema original? ¿Qué secreto encontró Carmen McRae en los ángulos imposibles de Thelonious Monk? Hoy exploraremos ese instante mágico en el que el respeto deja de ser obediencia para convertirse en traición creativa en el más positivo sentido de la palabra. Desde la mística de John Coltrane reinterpretada por Benson hasta la luz mediterránea que Laura Simó proyecta sobre el clásico de Gino Paoli, Senza Fine. Este no es un programa para escuchar de fondo. Este es un programa para detener el reloj, bajar las luces y permitir que los propios músicos nos expliquen por qué el jazz es el último refugio de la libertad. Esto es Música para Gatos, y hoy el jazz se escribe con una caligrafía que no admite comparaciones.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring legendary trumpeter and horn arranger Jerry Hey, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Jerry Hey trumpet interview"   Find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here: https://bobreeves.com/blog/jerry-hey-trumpet-interview-the-other-side-of-the-bell-146   About Jerry Hey: Jerry Hey is one of the defining trumpet voices and horn arrangers in modern popular music. Born in Dixon, Illinois, into a deeply musical family, he honed his craft with Charlie Geyer and later at Indiana University under legendary pedagogue William Adam. After an early run co-founding the jazz-fusion band Seawind in Hawaii, Hey moved to Los Angeles in the mid-1970s and quickly became a first-call session player and arranger. From there, his sound is heard on a staggering number of iconic recordings. Hey's horn writing and trumpet playing helped shape Michael Jackson's Off the Wall and Thriller albums, and his long association with Quincy Jones produced landmark work for Earth, Wind & Fire, George Benson, Al Jarreau, Patti Austin, Barbra Streisand, Toto, and countless others. A six-time Grammy winner, he has been recognized repeatedly for his instrumental and vocal arrangements, as well as his contributions to major film and television scores, including Flashdance, The Color Purple, the Back to the Future trilogy, Forrest Gump, and Dreamgirls. Most recently, Hey has opened his personal archives in Notes From The Past 50 Years, a 250-page collection of pop excerpts spanning his studio career. The book gathers more than 200 of his favorite licks, along with personal stories and rare photos that trace his path from early days in Los Angeles to his most iconic sessions—including a few lesser-known musical gems. Equally at home leading a horn section, crafting a string chart, or delivering a lyrical flugelhorn solo, Hey remains a benchmark for precision, style, and imagination in the studio, with an influence that continues to shape how artists, arrangers, and producers think about horn sections today.   Episode Links: Website: www.heyhorns.com Instagram (@heyhorns) Jerry Hey playlist The Other Side of the Bell Episode #15 - William "Bill" Adam Tribute The Other Side of the Bell Episode #22 - Jerry Hey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Jerry Hey/Megan Noller Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Kiki Ebsen, daughter of actor, dancer and singer Buddy Ebsen. Talking with Kiki was a real joy. One of the true joys of doing this podcast is to not only learn about the most known parts of being a child of a celebrity but the more, unlikely one's as well. What do we mean? Well, of course we hear about The Beverly Hillbillies, The Wizard of Oz and Barnaby Jones. But how many other podcasts ask the tough questions, like, “What kind of car did Buddy drive?” Not many but we hear about it on this episode. We also learn about Kiki's musical career as a road dog for the likes of Tracy Chapman, Chicago and Al Jarreau as well as her latest endeavor, her tribute to her father, My Buddy, The Other Side of Oz, which we saw and loved after recording this podcast. Along the way we discuss Walt Disney, the Tin Man, Davy Crockett, Matt Houston and what a fantastic person, actor Lee Meriwether was. That being said, was I the only one who didn't realize that Buddy Ebsen was a dancer and a good one? Or that he and his sister/dance partner were discovered by newsman Walter Winchell during the Roosevelt administration? Whoa. So sit back, take a listen to Kiki Ebsen on this episode and learn more about Buddy Ebsen than you thought possible. Everyone has a story.

Jerry Hey is a Grammy Award-winning arranger, composer, and trumpeter with an incredible career that spans decades. His work as an arranger has brought him into close collaboration with legends like Quincy Jones, and he's crafted arrangements for some of the most iconic artists in music. If you've ever listened to major hits, chances are you've heard his brilliant work. As a trumpet player, Jerry's journey began with the group Sea Wind in Hawaii and later led him to become a top player in the Hollywood studios. His life is full of remarkable experiences and unforgettable stories, and I had the privilege of sitting down with him to hear all about it.In Part 1, we kick things off by diving into how Jerry approaches the art of arranging, using three classic songs as examples: "In the Stone" by Earth, Wind & Fire, "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" by Michael Jackson, and "Rosanna" by Toto. Jerry takes us step-by-step through the magic behind these arrangements. Then, Jerry shares his own unique process for crafting his arrangements—it's an art form that's both meticulous and inspired, and he walks us through his creative approach. We also chat about Jerry's close working relationship with Quincy Jones. I couldn't resist asking Jerry what made Quincy such a remarkable force in music. Jerry's studies at Indiana University were a key part of his musical journey, particularly his time under the mentorship of the legendary Bill Adam. It was also at IU that he met Larry Hall, a friend who would remain by his side for life. After leaving IU, Jerry's career took him to Hawaii, where he joined the group Sea Wind, before eventually making his way to Los Angeles, where he became a sought-after player in the studios. To wrap up this section, Jerry shares an unforgettable story from his time recording with the incredible Al Jarreau. Picture this: four intense days of recording from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM, followed by more studio sessions during the day—surviving on just 13 hours of sleep in four days. It's a wild story, and you don't want to miss it.[Part 2, Subscriber Content] Throughout his career, Jerry has had the privilege of playing alongside some of the world's greatest musicians. I ask him to reflect on four of his close friends and musical partners: Larry Hall, Gary Grant, Chuck Findley, and Wayne Bergeron, each of whom has had a significant impact on his life and career. We also explore the differences between recording in New York City versus Los Angeles, especially when it comes to the use of headphones in the studio—a fascinating detail that highlights the unique studio culture in each city. Jerry is also a huge admirer of Sergei Nakariakov, and he shares a hWould you like more inspirational stories, suggestions, insights, and a place to continue the conversations with other listeners?
