Rap-A-Lot praktikanten blev osannolikt en av hiphophistoriens betydelsefulla bakomscenenspelare genom sina stilbildande samarbeten med bland andra Scarface, Kanye West, Travis Scott ochThe Weeknd. På senare år har Mike Dean ställt sig i strålkastarskenet omringad av synthesizers från olika eror. Utrustning som skapar ljudspåret till festen innan undergången. Ett mörkt och på samma gång hoppfullt sound. Med en hård arbetsdisciplin och inkännande natur har synthguden och screwsonen väglett några av dom mest temperamentsfulla och lynniga perfektionisterna. Vissa kallar Mike Dean för musikindustrins motsvarighet till Tony Montana. Den fiktiva gangsterkaraktären i Brian DePalmas film ”Scarface”. Andra ser honom som hiphopens förklädde David Lynch (Gordon Cole i ”Twin Peaks”).I avsnittet intervjuar Mats Nileskär även Kanye West, The D.O.C, Scarface, Thee Sacred Souls, Bernie Worrell, George Clinton, Hawk och Dan Penn.

I stjärnbilden Pegasus ligger en hop med kolliderande galaxer som skapar gravitationsstörningar och instabilitet. En form av galaktisk kannibalism. De olika galaxerna dras allt närmare varandra, och efter ett antal sammandrabbningar kommer de att gå samman i en enda gigantisk galax. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. I den sjätte och sista delen om George Clinton blir P-funkens massiva inflytande på populärmusiken uppenbart. När många trodde att P-funken var död gav hiphop den ett nytt liv. Parliament/Funkadelics status var redan hög bland Detroits technogarde. Bernie Worrells lir i nummer som ”Flash light” och ”Unfunky UFO” fick Juan Atkins att spela funk på synthesizers, och så föddes techno. Dr. Dre byggde sin ljudvärld på P-funk. Digital Underground hittade sitt lustiga sväng, och Andre 3000 i Outkast fann friheten.Vid sidan om möten med George Clinton innehåller avsnittet bland annat bitar från Mats Nileskärs intervjuer med Bernie Worrell, Garry Shider, Gary ”Mudbone” Cooper, Bootsy Collins, Malia Franklin (Parlet), Andre 3000, Afrika Bambaataa, Juan Atkins, Paris, James Brown, Abdul ”Duke” Fakir (Four Tops), Money-B (Digital Underground), Flying Lotus och Channel Tres.

Born and raised in rural Hertfordshire, Aaron Liddard began his musical journey with the tuba, later exploring piano and guitar before finding his true passion for the saxophone. His early musical education under classical composer Nicholas Sackman and choral director Dr. Charlie Beale ignited his enthusiasm, but it was the Buntingford Jazz Club that truly inspired him.

Highlights included his tenure with batucada ensemble Inner Sense and the formation of the Latin hip hop group Nylon Jungle. After moving to London, he caught the attention of Amy Winehouse's musical director, leading to a pivotal role in her band. His contributions included memorable performances on shows like "Later… with Jools Holland" and appearances in the video for the hit song "Rehab."Throughout his career, Aaron has maintained a deep love for jazz and blues, performing with artists like Beverley Knight and legendary figures such as Prince and Maceo Parker.

P-funken nådde ett klimax 1978. Ett år som startade genom Parliaments första listetta Flash light med sångkrok från bar mitzva och ett väldigt beat som kom både från soptunnan och från rymden, och slutade med en oemotståndlig variation på amerikanska trohetseden One nation under a groove. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Låtarna banade väg för en elektronisk revolution bortom disco. Keyboardgeniet Bernie Worrells böjda toner fick funkbanden att mata sina låtar med moogbas, och allt drog mot en mer maskinorienterad musikform som mynnade ut i electro och techno. Synthesizerljuden kom också att utgöra en grund för gangstarap. Basisten Bootsy Collins var nu en stabil ryggrad i P-funk. Samtidigt som Dr. Funkenstein serverade en smak av framtiden letade han sig tillbaka till barndomen. Ramsor, melodier och sånger som han burit med sig sedan barnsben.Vid sidan om möten med George Clinton bygger avsnittet även på samtal med bland andraBootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell, Frankie ”Kash” Waddy, James Brown och Parlet.Del 5 och 6 publiceras i oktober/november.
Medan George Clinton förgäves försökte bestiga Motownberget, hade unga britter hedrat musiken som var djupt förankrad i hans psyke. Clinton insåg att han hade förbisett sina bästa möjligheter, och vände nu blicken mot vita psykedeliska band och deras riffbaserade pyroteknik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Han föreställde sig ett nytt område där han kunde operera bortom soul- och rockmusikens gamla lagar. Parliaments skrangliga försök att ansluta sig till tidens hitskapare ersattes av en ambition att tolka de revolutionära strömningarna. Detroit var ett epicentrum för uppvigling. En vanlig kväll kunde man höra Stooges, MC5 och Funkadelic på samma scen. Alla var inne på friformjazz, experiment med gitarrljud, rytmisk förnyelse och sinnesutvidgande droger. Funkadelics debutalbum satte tonen för 70-talet.I avsnitt två möter du även Garry Shider, Billy Nelson, Sly Stone, Norman Whitfield, Temptations, Bernie Worrell och Archie Shepp.
Interview with Evan Taylor Bernie Worrell Orchestra bandleader. Evan Taylor whose latest production is the posthumous Bernie Worrell: Wave From The WOOniverse about this release and some of his other diverse musical endeavors. Bernie Worrell: Wave From The WOOniverse is a double album concocted in fourteen cities, issued on 12” LP vinyl a day after Bernie's birthday, (April 19) on Record Store Day 2024 by Org Music in conjunction with Loantaka Records as a Record Store Day “exclusive.” As of June 28 it's also available via streaming platforms. The release will be accompanied by a bound-to-be viral video of the title track directed by Los Angeles-based dancer, Madeline Riley. Taylor has remained behind the scenes for most of his career. He worked in various capacities with Worrell, mike watt, Money Mark, Theresa Wayman (Warpaint), King Tuff, The Chapin Sisters, and Jimmy Destri of Blondie. He has made 1960's country-influenced records with members of Black Flag, participated in eclectic recording projects and performed with practically every member of Talking Heads. Evan's also released a string of critically acclaimed singles as part of the Art-Rock duo Purple Witch of Culver. Evan has never identified with the archetype of “cosmic Funkateer.” He grew up with diverse tastes that ran from The Beach Boys to Prince. As a producer his brand has been “staying off-brand.” In 2022, Taylor was presented with a unique opportunity he felt he had been preparing for his entire career. Bernie Worrell: Wave From The WOOniverse addresses the abundance of unfinished work Bernie Worrell, a prolific writer and visionary, left behind when he passed away in 2016. These compositions remained untouched for a period of decades, collecting dust on reels of two-inch analog tape. Eventually, the tapes were re-examined to analyze Bernie's nuanced and creative method. After a period of deep reflection, the Bernie Worrell estate decided it was time to complete his vision. With a series of Bernie's collaborators, contemporaries, and friends including Bootsy Collins, Sean Ono Lennon, Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads), Leo Nocentelli (The Meters), Fred Schneider (B52s), Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Steve Scales, Marc Ribot, Fred Wesley (James Brown, Parliament), Marco Benevento, Stanton Moore (Galactic), Steven Bernstein, Daru Jones (Jack White), Will Calhoun (Living Colour, mike watt, Norwood Fisher (Fishbone), Jared Samuel Elioseff, Kyp Malone and Jaleel Bunton (TV on the Radio), Binky Griptite (Dap Kings), Nick Montoya, Paul Dooely, Alecia Chakour, Smokey Hormel, Ana Becker, Eric McFadden (Sgt. Splendor), Sarah La Puerta, Michael Rueben and many more innovators his initiative was completed with dedication to preserving the integrity of the magic which makes Bernie a beloved extraordinary soul. Also included on the album is a previously unreleased Funkadelic track, “Contusion,” which showcases Bernie's masterful work with the group. https://loantaka-records.com/ . http://evantaylormusic.com.
Galenskap har sällan svängt så okontrollerat och fritt. Det är svårt att föreställa sig hur musiken hade låtit och sett ut om det inte vore för en galaktisk man i vitt lakan, platåstövlar och hår i regnbågens färger. George Clinton öppnade porten till en annan verklighet bortom förtrycket och fattigdomen där fantasin flödade i en korsning av all musik. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Från frisersalongen i New Jersey och söt doowop under gatlyktan, till Detroits uppviglande rockscen och blåkopian för Motowns psykedeliska soul, vidare till kronan på verket. En hårdsvängande, vild bandfunk som fick namnet P-funk, och som visade vägen in i afrofuturism, hiphop, techno och mycket mer. Parliament/Funkadelics katalog tillhör den mest samplade, och har funkat som bas för bland andra Dr Dre, Snoop och Digital Underground. Med utgångspunkt i sju möten med George Clinton serverar Mats Nileskär berättelsen om en spektakulär karriär som spänner över sju decennier.I avsnitt ett träffar du också Garry Shider, Billy Nelson, James Brown, George Kerr, Bernie Worrell och Smokey Robinson.
This week's guest, producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Evan Taylor (Bernie Worrell Orchestra, Loantaka Records), brings us The Beach Boys' 21st studio album - and the last one under the group's name to be written and produced solely by troubled leader Brian Wilson - 'The Beach Boys Love You'. Released in 1977, this strange, at-times childlike collection of songs sounded like nothing else the band had done up until then. With raspier-than-usual vocals from the Wilson brothers and Brian's newfound infatuation with the Moog synthesizer, it left many fans/critics confused at the time but has since been recognized for presaging both synth-pop and new wave. Songs discussed in this episode: Good Vibrations - Brian Wilson (Live on SNL, 1976); Distant Star - Bernie Worrell (Featuring Jerry Harrison); Take 5 - Bernie Worrell; What Have They Done To My Funk - Bernie Worrell (Featuring Bootsy Collins, Michael Moon Reuben, Ouiwey Collins, Buckethead); Be My Baby - The Ronettes; Let Us Go On This Way, Hey, Little Tomboy, Roller Skating Child, Mona, Johnny Carson, Good Time - The Beach Boys; Good Time, Shyin' Away - American Spring; Honkin' Down The Highway, Ding Dang, Solar System - The Beach Boys; Solar System - Alex Chilton; The Night Was So Young, I'll Bet He's Nice - The Beach Boys; Shoot The Curl - The Honeys; Let's Put Our Hearts Together, I Wanna Pick You Up, Airplane, Love Is A Woman - The Beach Boys; Wave From The WOOniverse - Bernie Worrell (Featuring Miho Hatori)

visit acedoutpodcast.com to see photos and moreWhen singer/musician/songwriter LINDA SHIDER met the folks in Parliament-Funkadelic, she was working as a stewardess for Pan Am. A friend of hers had just moved to San Francisco, so she invited Linda to come visit. That friend in turn introduced her to a woman who was dating Bernie Worrell, wizard of the boards, and from there she became acquainted with the rest of the funk family, including GARRY SHIDER, whom she wound up hanging out with at a party in L.A. Linda “Legz” had a boyfriend at the time, but she had already been an admirer of the band. “To me, they were like the black Rolling Stones,” she says. “Their aura… their vibe… They were just so intense, and you know they were real sexy onstage.” Garry kept making comments about Linda and trying to make moves, but she would always rebuff him. Then one day, when the band was at a hotel, some guy came rushing in with a gun, looking for George Clinton, who may or may not have been with his girl. Garry swooped in to protect Linda from the ensuing gunfire by pushing her into a phone booth. He was her hero, and they decided to be a couple soon after. She went on the road with him–following the tour bus in her car, or flying in for certain gigs. Then she joined them onstage for the first time–at Madison Square Garden. She even wound up on the cover of Rock & Soul magazine. But she wasn't just some random hanger-on in the entourage. She was a leader with a deep background in civil rights advocacy who had fronted her own band, Legz, belting out heavy rock tunes like “Back in Black” by AC/DC. They also released the epic single “It Don't Come Easy,” a impressively intricate and gooey deep cut which exhibits her complex compositional chops.Indeed, this particular skill led to her becoming one of the very few credited woman songwriters in P-Funk history. It all started with a baby grand which lived in a hallway at United Sound in Detroit, where most of the P-Funk stuff was recorded. A gifted pianist, she just sat down and started playing. Somebody's ears perked up. “George came by and he said ‘Hm, I like that,'” she recalls. “And he said, ‘Garry… figure out the chords and stuff and let's go record that bad boy… I think Ima use that for Parlet.'” Garry and the fellas did just that, and a unique track of music began to take form, a mid-tempo, haunting yet poppy combo of funk and prog rock. “Once I heard the whole musical thing gelling,” she continues, “that's when I came up with the lyrics.” The tune sounded like it was coming from outer space, but she didn't have to look far for inspiration. “It was a love song,” she says. “A lot of stuff that Garry and I did [was] that kind of material because we were so in love with each other. You know, we were hot and heavy and we just kinda like shared it with people.” The song was called “Are You Dreaming?” and arrived to the world as part of Parlet's classic debut, the Pleasure Principle. Mrs. Shider was also part of another momentous event in P history: the birth of Garry's iconic stage outfit, or perhaps we can call it a uniform: the diaper, man. But was it an actual diaper? “It was always a towel,” reveals Linda. “They'd stay at the Holiday Inn a lot, so it has the Holiday Inn logo down the middle.” The story goes that Garry decided to give it a try after seeing George put one on that one time. Garry chose to combine the diaper look with a pacifier and some thigh-high boots. Everyone responded so positively that the simple ensemble stuck thereafter. But did Garry wear underwear under there? “No he did not,' laughs Linda. “Sometimes the willy would kinda pop out if the diaper was too small… It was kinda scary sometimes as well, you know what was gonna happen… ‘Oh, god. Here we go.' All the groupies would be like ‘Yes!'” Like his lovely spouse, Garry Shider was a particularly loyal funk soldier, the only one who stayed with George while all the other members were coming and going–from the day he and Boogie Cordell Mosson left United Soul to join the P, until the unfortunate day that he passed. And as bandleader for (at least) 35 years, Mr. Shider was the herald of the P, the one who would kick off every show, sometimes just playing a little guitar first, then taking the crowd to the highest heights with his golden voice. Even after saying all of that, it is hard to describe what Garry has fully done for that band and its history. “In the studio, he was the vocal arranger,” says Linda. “He'd produce. Most of the time George was off doing drugs somewhere or sleeping with some chick.” But despite her husband's massive contribution to the history and songbook of Parliament-Funkadelic, he always remained humble. As Linda explains, “One of his favorite sayings was ‘I'm no better than my surroundings.' He said that all the time… He was like ‘I can't do what I'm doing unless there's people around me who are keepin up.'' This philosophy tied in nicely with another one of his trusty sayings: ‘Get in where you fit in.' To his wife, this meant: “Don't oversing. Don't overplay… Just kinda blend, go with the flow. He knew how to get the best out of people.” Alas, Garry's humility was perhaps his greatest weakness. Linda was constantly trying to get him to stick up for himself, but always to no avail. “I could make deals for Garry with other people, but he would never let me confront George about maybe a pay increase or something like that,” she laments. “He'd say, ‘You're gonna turn him off, and it's gonna probably blow up in your face anyway, so just leave that alone.'” Case in point: Garry was once offered $1 million to replace Lionel Ritchie when he left the Commodores! (George was paying Garry $150 a show at the time). “I said ‘Garry, he just offered you a million dollars,'”she remembers. “‘And you're gonna turn that down?' And he would do that every time someone else came up and offered him another option.” Still, Garry lived his adult life doing exactly what he wanted to do, and not a lot of folks can say that. “He loved being in that group,” says Linda, “and he had a thing for George, like a father kind of relationship – even though it was one-sided… When he first met Garry, Garry was like 16. He wined and dined him… And once he got into the group, he just used him like he used everybody else.” In the end, Linda begged her husband not to go on the road, but he was there to the very end. Nowadays, since Funk doesn't really have a retirement fund, Ms. Linda still keeps busy. She paints, makes jewelry and is part of annual the Funkateer's Ball in Bethesda, MD every September. She also continues to write, going so far as to create the funky comic book, DIAPERMAN, featuring Garry as the far-out titular superhero. “I always remembered when Garry was floating on that thin wire over the stadiums and coliseums and stuff, how scary it was,” she says, explaining how she came up with the concept. “I felt like, since he was the one that volunteered to do it, that he earned some credit for that… And it was his 70th birthday in July, so I figured it was a good time to do it.” In this wide-ranging and extremely candid interview, Mrs. Shider talks about her days as a preferred extra in Robocop and other Hollywood movies, her work with Stokely Carmichael and run-ins with the Klan, and how much she loved to sing “Red Hot Mama” onstage. She also reveals details about her husband's final days, her efforts to preserve his legacy, why ladies have always been important to P-Funk, and how badly George ruined that one song they did.

The Talking Head's concert film Stop Making Sense first came out forty years ago, and it's just been rereleased in theaters in a 4k remaster by A24. The film finds the band — Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, David Byrne and Jerry Harrison — at the height of their powers over three successive nights at the the Hollywood Pantages Theater. As Chris and Tina remembered it when they spoke to producer Reanna Cruz, "We'd reached a state in our career and our lives when we felt, 'we've gotten pretty good at this now. We can show the world.'" Director Jonathan Demme spliced the band's performances into an eighty-eight minute odyssey beginning with Byrne solo on the stage and gradually bringing in the rest of the band and a cast of stellar guest musicians: vocalists Lynn Mabry and Ednah Holt, keyboardist Bernie Worrell, percussionist Steve Scales, and guitarist Alex Weir. The film introduced landmark moments like Byrne's big suit, Demme's cinematic approach to concert cinematography, Chris's and Tina's Tom Tom Club performing the perennial sample flip "Genius of Love," and a theater-rocking version of "Burning Down the House." Stop Making Sense broke the mold of concert films and created a new paradigm for artists to follow ever since. Nate, Charlie, and Reanna take insights from Reanna's conversation with Tina and Chris on the legacy of Stop Making Sense as a guide to think through our own favorite concert movies — the Band's The Last Waltz, Madonna's Truth or Dare, and Beyonce's Homecoming — to identify the musical and visual choices that make them so indelible.

Just under forty years ago, we saw the theatrical release of what many would consider to be one of THE seminal concert movies. It featured one of the more enduring rock/funk/New Wave bands from that era.....NYC's own Talking Heads lead by innovative front-man David Byrne. He was also joined on stage by several supremely talented musicians including Jerry Harrison, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, and Bernie Worrell among several others. It was all shot over four shows over four nights performed in southern California as part of their tour to promote their most recent album "Speaking in Tongues" which would also feature what would be their highest selling single, "Burning Down the House." It was directed by eventual Oscar winner Jonathan Demme (Silence of the Lambs) and the final product resulted in one HELL of a show which is about be re-released in the IMAX format.Host & Editor: Geoff GershonProducer: Marlene Gershon https://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Ivan Julian has been one of music's most celebrated players and most in-demand collaborators for more than four decades. Indeed, Ivan Julian has spent his life soaking up a wealth of experiences, musical and otherwise. The son of a Navy officer, he grew up in such exotic locales as Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, nurturing a sensitive, creative streak that quickly manifested itself musically. At the age of 13, while living in Washington, D.C., he became the singer in a Led Zeppelin cover band; the following year, he began playing guitar. Having already studied bassoon and saxophone, Julian spent his high school years studying music theory as a part-time student in a college program. At 19, his wanderlust led him to London, where he joined U.K. R&B hitmakers The Foundations, (Build Me Up Buttercup) with whom he toured throughout Great Britain and Europe. It was during one of these tours that he decided to stay on in Macedonia to absorb and study the musical scales and rhythms that would have a major influence on his playing. Then Julian returned to the U.S. and settled in New York, just in time to become part of the emerging punk rock movement. A founding member of the seminal Richard Hell and the Voidoids, he was now playing alongside trend-setting punk poet Hell, fabled guitarist Robert Quine and drummer Marc Bell (a.k.a. Marky Ramone). Julian's instrumental and songwriting contributions to the band's classic album Blank Generation established him as one of the scene's most acclaimed and influential axemen. After the Voidoids disbanded, Julian stepped out to form the Outsets as a vehicle for his own vocal and songwriting efforts. Combining rock, funk and African rhythms, the Outsets became a beloved fixture on New York's burgeoning club scene, winning considerable critical acclaim for such releases as the debut single “I'm Searchin' for You”/”Fever,” a self-titled EP produced by Garland Jeffreys and the posthumously released The Punk/Funk Voodoo Collection. Teaming up with Bush Tetras singer Cynthia Sley Julian's next band, the Lovelies, won substantial attention with the release of the Mad Orphan LP. Also, during this time he regrouped with former bandmate Richard Hell to do an extensive tour of Japan. By this point, Julian's abilities as a collaborator had become sought after by a wide array of acts. He plays on “The Call Up” and “Ivan Meets GI Joe” with The Clash (on their Sandinista album), collaborated with Afrika Bambaataa and Bernie Worrell of Parliament/Funkadelic. He also joined England's Shriekback for two tours of North America and Europe. Julian spent much of the 1990s touring and recording with Matthew Sweet. In recent years, Ivan has concentrated mainly on studio work, producing and/or recording artist such as Sean Lennon and producing three albums by The Fleshtones. He's also developed his recording studio, SuperGiraffeSound into one of New York's hottest new recording facilities, working with numerous local, national and international bands. His solo LP, The Naked Flame was named one of the best records of the year by several trade magazines in Europe and the states including Trouser Press. Soon after came The Fauntleroys EP, Below the Pink Pony, a collaboration with Alejandro Escovedo, Nick Tremulis and Linda Pittman. His newest album ‘Swing Your Lanterns' is available on PRAVDA Records. The songs encompass his experiences of the past five years and more; Some of which, we have all lived through.

visit acedoutpodcast.com to see photos and read moreAt just age 20, STEVIE PANNELL, then strictly a bassist, wrote a song in his grandmother's basement. He thought it was kinda special, so he went to Detroit and managed to present the tune to a man by the name of George Clinton. “It was right after ‘Knee Deep'” Stevie recalls. The funk doctor dug what Stevie had come up with, so he told the kid to cut a demo. He fulfilled this request, including Jerome Ali on guitar. When George heard that version, he gave it the green light. “He said, ‘Go ahead and cut it for real,'” says Stevie.So they did just that— at Superdisc studios. Ron Dunbar was enlisted to produce the track, vocalist Jeanette Washington helped Stevie work out some lyrics, and the Horny Horns — featuring Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Richard “Kush” Griffith, and Rick Gardner – were brought in to enhance the mix with that bona fide P-Funk flavor. “Being almost like a teenager and you got the Horny Horns playing on your stuff,” says Stevie, “I felt pretty good.” The song became “FUNK UNTIL THE EDGE OF TIME,” an ooey gooey stank classic featured on the album Play Me Or Trade Me (1980) by PARLET, (and deemed worthy of inclusion on the Best of Parlet compilation). And that's how Stevie officially got pulled into the Parliament Funkadelic Thang. He felt like family almost immediately. “It was fun,” he reports. “Too much fun sometimes.”Throughout these years and beyond, Stevie — who had been playing bass since he got a Sears model at age 15 — started getting more and more into playing the guitar. For him, the transition was natural. “You know, you're playing with a band and you put your instrument down and everybody kinda switches up at halftime, so to speak,” he explains. “The bass player will go get on the drums; the guitar player will go get on the bass … There was always a guitar just laying around… You just kinda start playin it.” And the man plays it well — just check out the three funktastic live performances from this very episode for living proof! And keep an eye out for his upcoming EP, simply entitled STEVIE P, which also features his brother, accomplished player Chris Bruce. And though the man prefers to let the music do the talking, he did rap with us a bit as well. In this down-to-earth and jam-filled episode, Stevie recalls watching Bootsy Collins lay bass tracks for “Getting to Know You” from the Clones of Dr. Funkenstein, explains why his younger brother Chris Bruce is his teacher, and describes being mentored by such heavyweights as Garry Shider, Lige Curry, and Billy “Bass” Nelson. Pannell also talks about his favorite gear, his friendship with Kevin Goins — (Quazar, brother to the late Glenn Goins) — and that time Bernie Worrell's freaky keyboard lines scared his mom out of the studio during the recording of Tales of Kid Funkadelic. an Issac Bradbury Production © 2022visit acedoutpodcast.com to see photos and more

visit acedoutpodcast.com to see photos and more“As long as you're consistent, things can happen.” So says solo artist JAY DOUBLE YOU!—who began his funk career as a pro drummer in the late 70s at Don Davis' legendary United Sound Studios in Detroit. His golden opportunity came in the form of a session with none other than OG Parliament vocalist Fuzzy Haskins, who had landed his own solo deal at Westbound. “Fuzzy, he gave me my first major session,” says Jay Dub, then known as Jim Wright. “He lived not too far from my mom's house.” Indeed, for young Jim, Parliament-Funkadelic had been a family affair ever since grade school, when he first got to know Bernie Worrell, George Clinton and the rest of the P-Funk camp through his big sister, vocalist Debbie Wright. Jay Dub remembers that first official session well. “Fuzzy was gonna play drums,” Dub explains, “cause normally he played drums on his stuff… I happened to be in the studio… I was like ‘Hey Fuzz. Wassup man? Can I give it a go?' Me knowin' him, he said ‘Okay Jim.'” Even so, young Wright knew full well that a chance wasn't a guarantee, as friendship and nepotism didn't get you very far when it came to laying down the funk. “You had to be quick, ‘cause money is being spent,” he explains. “You didn't get too many chances.” So Jay Dub went over to the drums and sat down, with Glenn Goins, Garry Shider, & Cordell “Boogie” Mosson holding their instruments and staring at him like: Why is Debbie's little brother in here when we're about to record? But little did they know, the Kid was ready. “They counted off, and I hit it in one take, man,” reports Jay. “Pocket. Timing. Solid. And from there I end up doing two more songs that night with ‘em. I would do a song, they would say ‘Take a break. Let us mix. We'll call you for the next one.'” Seven hours later and $400 richer, young Mr. Wright had been fully matriculated into P University. Word spread to George C about what went down. “Fuzzy gave me that shot, and from there I guess George heard it,” recalls Jay Dub. “And next thing I knew, I was called down to the studio.” Significantly, Dr. Funkenstein wound up pulling Jay Dub into a marathon session with the nimble-fingered bassist Rodney “Skeet” Curtis, recording songs that were turned into funky headwreckers which wound up on such classic records as Parlet's Pleasure Principle and Bernie Worrell's All the Woo in the World. All of this established Jay Dub's reputation as a pocket drummer, and some serious heads within the camp were starting to take notice. Yet, by the time the 1980s came along, the wind was starting to blow in a different direction. The drum machine, once a novelty, was becoming more significant in the music industry by the day, predicting a cruel fate for live drummers. A still quite young Mr. Wright saw the writing on the studio wall and decided it was time to expand his skills. Enter Don Davis, owner of United Sound and mentor to local talent. “He was great to me,” Dub remembers of Don. “Anyone that had enough confidence, he would give you a shot… He would at least throw you in the studio to do some demos.” And when Jay Dub found out producers got paid double scale, he really got inspired. So he improved his keyboard skills, grabbed the mic, and began to record his own ideas instead of someone else's. “It's a growth thing until the end, basically,” he says of his evolution toward becoming a singer/songwriter. “You're always learning. You're always trying to adjust if you choose to move forward.” As it turned out, part of moving forward was getting out of his deal with Davis in order to go independent. From there, Jim, now Jay Double, put out his own singles and LPs. He even started his own clothing line.We first met and talked to Jay Double You! for Episode 5 of Aced Out back in the fall of 2019, when we were still a struggling little podcast trying find our footing. He gave us a fascinating and fun interview that focused heavily on his P-Funk days but also featured some of his super dope solo work. But the “fun with a K” didn't stop there, not by a long shot. As it turned out, Dub not only enjoyed his moment in the spotlight, but also connected spiritually with Aced Out's mission and raison d'etre: to give props where props are due. “It's hard for musicians to give each other credit,” laments Jay Dub. “I say, ‘Genius, recognize genius.'” And we here at Aced Out know firsthand that the man practices what he preaches. Indeed, Dub recognized the opportunity to share the wealth and, with our blessing and gratitude, got on the phone to recruit some old friends for the cause. Consequently, the man has been an integral part of Aced Out's ever-expanding body of work, garnering us classic interviews with Joe “Pep” Harris of Undisputed Truth and the late Robin Russell of New Birth, as well as his fellow P-Funk alumni Rick Gardner of the Horny Horns, Steve Boyd, Andre Foxxe, and Grady Thomas. For this second appearance on Aced Out, Jay Dub traveled all the way from Suwanee, GA to join us in the Bay Area. In this intimate, in-person interview, Dub describes his transition from player to producer, explains how his subconscious guides his songwriting process, and reveals the secret to Tiki Fulwood's high-hat technique. Jay Dub also raps about why Junie Morrison loved singing over his drum tracks, learning rudiments from Tyrone Lampkin, and that time he made George Clinton bacon and eggs for breakfast. If all that weren't enough, Jay Stone & Ace Alan and a buncha Bay Area heavy hitters (listed below) help Jay Dub perform the title track to his funktastic solo joint, I'll See You Soon (2001)!Produced & Hosted by Ace AlanCohosted by Jay StoneExecutive Producer: Scott Sheppardw/ Content Produced by Jay Double You!Website, Art & Graphics by 3chardsw/ major props to Nat CollinsLive Version of “I'll See You Soon” Featuring:Jay Double You! — clavinet, vocalsFemi Andrades — vocalsVanessa Love — vocalsAlan Williams — tromboneAl Lazard — saxOcea Savage — synthKyle “Coyote” Collins — synth percussionChris McGrew — drumsJay Stone — guitarAce Alan — bassEngineered by Chris McGrew for Wally's Hyde Out @ Hyde Street Studios, San FranciscoVideo by RoAn Gibson for X Racer ProductionsWith thanks to Maryzelle UngoSound Editing, Video Editing & Graphics by Nick “WAES” Carden for Off Hand Records in OaklandTheme song “I Can Never Be” by the FUNKANAUTS from the album Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth an Issac Bradbury Production © 2022visit acedoutpodcast.com to see photos and more
