Featuring a hot stack of new releases including jazz guitar giant John Scofield w/Steve Swallow, latin piano maestro Arturo O'Farrill, the late-great saxophone ninja Jimmy Heath, and soul diva Betty LaVette; fresh new beats from Copenhagen's School of X; East Village groovers Avi Bortnick, Jesse Murphy, Aaron Johnson, and co. recorded live at NuBlu 151 in NYC; a brand new lost recording from the Thelonious Monk Quartet in Palo Alto in 1968; and one of the grooviest East Bay cats out there, Mr. Raphael Saadiq.

Avi Bortnick joined Scofield's jam-oriented band in 2000 and has played rhythm guitar and electronics, along with co-producing and co-writing three records: Überjam, Up All Night, and Überjam Deux. He’s also played with Jim Weider, Zigaboo Modeliste, Bobby McFerrin, and his own Avi B Three. He’s known in musician circles for his rhythm guitar playing and ability to blend in a variety of musical configurations.   We spent quite a bit of time on this call talking about Avi’s prolific side hustles, which include App Development, and consulting in a unique niche industry. Because he has these other income sources, he never feels pressure to take a gig or work with someone he really doesn’t want to work with. Plus, it allows him to live in NYC and be centrally located to the places he enjoys being near. Avi also had some great advice for other guitarists.

My guest today is Mr. Avi Bortnick. In a world filled with shredding guitar players who can play a gazillion notes and play over every chord change known to man, and teenage girls playing Van Halen's "Eruption", it's refreshing to hear a player like Avi who can make a crowd groove with simple but effectively placed rhythm part. Although perhaps he is best known for being a member of John Scofield's innovative Uberjam band, (in which he plays an important and crucial role- triggering samples, holding down rhythm parts and creating cool sounds), he also has his own bands- Shitty Shitty Jam Band and the Avi B. Three. Avi also has a unique take on guitar effects and is constantly working to create new sounds with loops and blending effects not found in your average guitar pedals as you'll hear in this episode.  (We get didn't talk about it in the interview but Avi has also designed apps for guitar and music including the Time Guru metronome and Echo Pitch multi-delay as well as others- that I will link to below.) In this interview we talk about rhythm guitar, his early influences, working with John Scofield, how he creates those unique effects by combining the traditional guitar effects with the modern laptop sounds. We also jam over a few little impromptu chord vamps.  This interview was recorded at Avi's apt in Chinatown, NYC on Aug 16th, 2017.
