The music festival promoters hustle hard to secure a plane to Zaire. Finally on board, all the artists are nearly killed by James Brown and his oversized ego. Despite the high drama, the flight is a magical experience for all aboard when the musicians turn the plane into an epic jam session. This shared joy carries the crew through to Zaire. Upon arrival, they are greeted by the drums and voices of The Motherland. Meanwhile, fight promoters scramble to rearrange the weekend after Foreman’s cut and, in doing so, find out who President Mobutu really is.

La primera vez que Nelson Albareda promovió un espectáculo en el legendario complejo de entretenimiento Madison Square Garden de Nueva York (no en el arena propiamente dicho, sino en el teatro con capacidad para 5.600 personas que se encuentra debajo) todos le dijeron: “Vas a perder hasta el culo”. Albareda, un cubano nacido en Miami, había reunido lo que para él era un cartel de ensueño: una celebración del 50 aniversario del innovador artista de salsa y cofundador de Fania Records, Johnny Pacheco, con Pacheco y los Fania All-Stars. Aun así, sus detractores tenían razón: Albareda perdió 200.000 dólares en aquel show en el año 2006. Pero después de que el evento terminó, el promotor seguía entusiasmado. A medianoche, llevó a sus padres, que habían asistido, a una tienda de delicatessen cercana, donde su padre le preguntó: “¿Porque te ríes? ¡acabas de perder 200 mil dólares!. “Bueno, es parte del negocio”, le dijo Albareda a su padre. "Seguimos avanzando". Diecisiete años después, Albareda, defiende esa opinión. “En este negocio se pierde dinero, y lo importante no es la rapidez con la que se cae, sino la rapidez con la que se recupera”. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/checkingconmauro/message

Ray Viera was born in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico. During his childhood he grew up listening to the recordings of the great "Soneros", such as Hector Lavoe, Ismael Rivera, Ismael Miranda, Chamaco Ramirez and Marvin Santiago. Collectively, these artists inspired Ray to pursue his goals, combining their musical influences into his own vocal style and sensibility. At the age of 11, Ray was sent to live with his father in the "Barrio" of Philadelphia.  Where he was exposed to many other musical genres.  Although he lived outside of his native Puerto Rico, he never lost his cultural roots and musical influences. Ray has worked with many Latin music legends, including Johnny Pacheco, the late Celia Cruz, Yomo Toro, Adalberto Santiago, Papo Lucca, Justo Betancourt, Eddie Palmieri, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Jimmy Bosch, Chino Nunez, The Fania All Stars, and many other greats. He recorded his first album for ATI Records in 1997 produced by Johnny Pacheco with Jovanny Diaz and his Orchestra.Ray has logged over 20 professional recordings where his discography includes background vocals in various genres, including the soundtrack of an Off-Broadway musical entitled "Quien Mato a Hector Lavoe" starring Domingo Quinones, that would later become a major motion picture starring Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony titled “El Cantante”. He sang background vocals for the late Celia Cruz's Grammy winning "La Negra Tiene Tumbao", her final CD; both Eddie Palmieri's 40th anniversary CD, "La Perfecta II" (Grammy nominated) and "Ritmo Caliente", and is the lead singer in Johnny Pacheco's 50th anniversary CD "Entre Amigos"(2004). He also participated in Ricky Gonzalez's "Oasis", singing lead in the songs "Timbalero" and "Ya Era Tiempo". Over the years, he has toured throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America , Africa, and Europe.While striving to realize his dreams, he has continually performed with intense passion and emotion. Many consider Ray one of the new generation of artists who can blend the traditional style of singing with the flexibility of a crooner and a progressive, modern outlook. After many years of being in a background role to some of Salsa's greatest legends, Ray released his debut album, Aqui Esta Ray Viera in 2002. He shows his talent as composer in songs like "Lo Mio Es Cantar", "Borinquen y Cubanacan", and "Corazon Cerrado". He also composed "Tun Tun Suena El Tambor" in Spanish Harlem Orchestra's Grammy award winning album "Across 110th Street". Ray has been a lead singer for the legendary Johnny Pacheco's Tumbao Añejo since 1998. In 2007 Ray released “TROMBAO which he produced and composed nine of the ten songs. “TROMBAO” made it to the second round of the Grammy nomination process in 2008. Ray Viera y Trombao presented its latest work to the public that provided a cultural blending of rhythm that is bursting with Caribbean flavors titled "SAMBUMBIA RADIOACTIVA" in 2013. Today, Ray Viera is taking his talents to the production side and continuing to compose for various projects.Support the show

Reciban un cordial saludo. Desde Cali (Colombia), les habla Sergio Luis López, compartiéndoles un nuevo episodio de "Así la escuché yo..." En 1988 fue éxito mundial una rumba flamenca interpretada por la agrupación Gipsy Kings la cual fue grabada con el título “Bamboléo”. Fue tal el éxito de la canción de los Gipsy Kings que de inmediato otros artistas también sacaron sus versiones como la vocalizada por la legendaria intérprete cubana Celia Cruz, acompañada por la orquesta Fania All Stars e incluida en el álbum homónimo de 1988 “Bamboleo”. Al año siguiente el reconocido cantante español de talla mundial Julio Iglesias, incluyó su versión de esta canción en su álbum “Raíces” de 1989, bajo el título “Caballo viejo/Bamboleo”. Los anteriores temas musicales son en realidad una mezcla de dos canciones: - en primer lugar, toma los versos de la tonada llanera compuesta por el venezolano Simón Díaz, quien la grabó en 1980 con el título “Caballo viejo”. Así la escuché yo… - y para el coro utiliza el estribillo la canción compuesta por el brasileño André de Sá Filho, la cual fue grabada originalmente en portugués en 1932 por la artista brasileña Carmen Miranda bajo el título “Bamboleô”. ¿Y tú, conocías las canciones originales “Caballo viejo” y “Bamboleô”?

*Rubén Blades nació en el barrio de San Felipe de la Ciudad de Panamá, en el seno de una familia donde el arte siempre ocupó un lugar privilegiado. Sus padres fueron el colombiano Rubén Blades Bosques nacido en Santa Marta y la cubana Anoland Bellido de Luna del pueblo de Regla en la Habana. Desde pequeño, Blades estuvo en contacto directo con la música ya que su madre tocaba piano y cantaba y, su padre era percusionista.1​ La música de la radio tenía una constante presencia en el hogar de los Blades quien se nutrió de variados estilos musicales* El año 1970 marca su debut como cantante y compositor cuando publica el disco de larga duración De Panamá a New York/From Panama to New York, con Pete Rodríguez.4​ Un año antes Rubén Blades había participado en un disco con el grupo panameño Los Salvajes del Ritmo, donde el timbre de su voz se asemejaba a la del cantante José Cheo Feliciano. Posteriormente culminó sus estudios de Derecho en Panamá y por problemas políticos se trasladó a Miami y posteriormente a Nueva York, buscando la oportunidad de introducirse en el ambiente musical. Allí buscó trabajo en la compañía discográfica Fania, que lo contrató en el servicio de correos de la empresa. Esto le permitió entrar en contacto y conocer a las figuras más importantes del sello disquero, y en esa época Richie Ray y Bobby Cruz, Ismael Miranda, Roberto Roena y Bobby Rodríguez cantaron temas de su autoría.3​ Su oportunidad se presentó cuando Ray Barreto, buscando un vocalista para ocupar un puesto en su orquesta, le hizo una audición y lo contrató. Con esta banda participó en los discos Barreto (1975) y Tomorrow Barreto Live (1976). También grabó dos temas de su autoría ("El cazangero", en 1975 junto a Willie Colón, y "Juan Pachanga", en 1977 con la Fania All Stars) e hizo los coros de muchas producciones discográficas del sello Fania.

Fania Records había creado International Records en 1968. La intención la decía su nombre: internacionalizar la compañía, especialmente en Puerto Rico. International estaba regentado en Puerto Rico por el empresario argentino Charles Tarrab y tenía una sociedad con Rafael Viera, representante de Fania Records en la isla. Tarrab fue el responsable de los grandes espectáculos de su tiempo en San Juan, entre ellos, el concierto de la Fania All Stars en el Coliseo Roberto Clemente en ese mismo año, 1973.

EDDIE RODRIGUEZ; Celia Cruz RIP Black History Month special series honoring Black Artists in Latin Music  Cruz's first recordings were made in 1948. In 1950, her singing career started its upward journey to stardom when she began singing with celebrated Cuban orchestra Sonora Matancera. Initially, there were doubts that Cruz could successfully replace the previous lead singer and that a woman could sell salsa records at all. However, Cruz helped propel the group — and Latin music in general — to new heights, and the band toured widely through Central and North America throughout the 1950s. Celia Cruz first gained recognition in the 1950s, as a singer with the orchestra Sonora Matancera. Relocating to the United States after the ascent of Fidel Castro, Cruz recorded 23 gold records with Tito Puente, the Fania All-Stars and other collaborators. Cruz died in New Jersey in 2003, at the age of 77.

Meridian Brothers, founded by musician Eblis Álvarez, fuses a love of classic salsa with cumbia, vallenato, spacey psychedelia, and wacky samples for a playful dance party. With a body of songs containing some poignant social commentary about our obsession with technology, fear of war, police brutality, and other issues, the music hearkens to the salsa dura era (think Fania All-Stars); even the legendary Ansonia label took note and invited Meridian Brothers to be their first new signing in more than 30 years. With an interplay of sax, guitar, plenty of percussion, spoken/sung cartoon vocals (pitch-shifted and processed), and sound effects, Meridian Brothers plays their fantasy salsa-cumbia fusion, in-studio. - Caryn Havlik Set list: “Salsa Caliente” “Puya Del Emprasario”, “Metamorfosis”  Watch "Salsa Caliente": Watch "Puya Del Emprasari": Watch "Metamorfosis":

Burning Ambulance Podcast

I have said two things all season long. The first is that we're going to be exploring a single topic for ten episodes, and that topic is fusion. But the second thing I've been saying is that what I'm talking about when I say the word fusion isn't a style or a genre, but a state of mind. It's not what you play, it's how you approach music-making.In previous episodes, we've talked about what people typically think of as fusion, which drummer Lenny White, who appeared in episode two of this series, prefers to call jazz-rock. That's the version that more or less starts with Miles Davis's Bitches Brew and Tony Williams' Lifetime and branches out to include Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever and Weather Report. But my version of that continuum also includes early Seventies Santana, it includes the Fania All Stars collaborating with Jan Hammer and Billy Cobham, it includes adventurous funk and R&B fusion, like P-Funk and Earth, Wind & Fire and the Ohio Players and Slave, and it includes jazz-funk acts like Donald Byrd and Freddie Hubbard and George Duke.Vernon Reid is a guitarist who was born in England but grew up in New York. He's best known as the leader of Living Colour, and one of the co-founders of the Black Rock Coalition along with the late writer Greg Tate, but he's got a long and varied discography that encompasses solo material, duo and trio work with other guitarists like Bill Frisell, David Torn and Elliot Sharp, and guest appearances with a ton of groups from Public Enemy to the Rollins Band, Mick Jagger, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Santana, and many, many more. His solo album Mistaken Identity from 1996 is the only album to carry co-producer credits from Prince Paul and Teo Macero. Back in 2012, he made an album with a group called Spectrum Road which featured John Medeski on keyboards, Jack Bruce on bass, and Cindy Blackman Santana on drums — it was conceptually a tribute to Tony Williams Lifetime, but it's very much its own thing as well, so definitely check that out.Reid got his start, though, with drummer Ronald Shannon Jackson's band the Decoding Society. He played guitar, banjo, and guitar synth with that group, which had two bassists: Melvin Gibbs, who was on this podcast a couple of years ago, and Reverend Bruce Johnson, and then some horn players, mostly Zane Massey on saxophones and Henry Scott on trumpet. It's high-energy music that's also really melodic in a kind of post-Prime Time way — jazz, funk, rock, Texas blues and West African music all swirled together and thrown straight at your face at a hundred miles an hour. Their albums Nasty, Street Priest, Mandance, Barbeque Dog, Montreux Jazz Festival and Earned Dreams are all incredible. They're all out of print right now, too, but some of them are on streaming services, so dig up whatever you can. Reid has a new record out with the group Free Form Funky Freqs, a trio with bassist Jamaaladeen Tacuma, who's also been on this podcast before, and drummer Calvin Weston, and as he explains in this conversation, it's full-on improv, starting from zero every time they play together, and because it's so limited – no rehearsals, no soundchecks with all three members – they know exactly how many times they've played together. The album represents their 73rd encounter. It's called Hymn Of The 3rd Galaxy, sort of a tribute to Return To Forever there, who had an album called Hymn Of The Seventh Galaxy, and you'll hear a little bit of the music late in the podcast. I think you'll really enjoy this episode. I've been a fan of Vernon Reid's music for about 35 years. The first Living Colour album came out when I was in high school, and I saw them play on the first Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 1991. And I interviewed him once before, about 10 years ago, when he was doing a multimedia presentation called Artificial Africa. So in this conversation, we talk about his work with the Decoding Society, about the Free Form Funky Freqs, about the whole wave of guitarists who came up at the same time he did, including Michael Gregory Jackson and Kelvyn Bell and Jean-Paul Bourelly and Brandon Ross, as well as older players like James "Blood" Ulmer and Pete Cosey and Sonny Sharrock… we talk about a lot of things, and I'm just gonna end this introduction here, so you can dive in.MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE:Living Colour, “WTFF” (from Stain)Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society, “Iola” (from Mandance)Vernon Reid & Bill Frisell, “Size 10 1/2 Sneaks” (from Smash & Scatteration)Free Form Funky Freqs, “Outer Arm” (from Hymn of the 3rd Galaxy)

Hi my name is Taylor and I am going to be discussing the amazing life of the Queen of Salsa, formally known as Celia Cruz. Celia Cruz was born (real full name) on October 21, 1925 in the musically diverse city of Havana, Cuba. She grew up in an extremely important time for tropical music in cuba and eventually became one of the most renowned artist of that genre and more not only in her own country but throughout Latin America. She did grow up in a very weird time for Cuba. Not only was music changing for the better, political, the country was at it's worst. But she used the one thing that brought everyone a sense of euphoria, her voice. Celia has always been a musical person. As she got older she would compete in singing competitions and win. She even did small commercial jingles. But it wasn't until the late 40s and 50s she got her big break. During that time, an Afro Cuban group famously known as La Sonora Matancera was at it's peak. This band was famous for singing with other singers like Bienvenido Grada, Celio González, and Benny Moré. Their lead singer, Myrta Silva, had wanted to leave the group to start a family in her country of Puerto Rico which left her spot open. Celia auditioned, and with hard work she became the groups first black front woman. Celia first record with La Sonora in August 1950 and wasn't received well by the public because she was black. But she persevered and kept doing what she loved most. She stayed with La Sonora for 15 years and recorded songs like Juancito Trucupey and Yerbero Moderno. They also made songs in honor of the Saints of the afro-Cuban religion, Santeria. The most populars were, Palo Mayimbe, yemaya, and Guede Zaina. As year passed, living in Cuba become a lot more tense. The Castro regime didn't like how La Sonora accepted gigs in other countries, so once the group flew to Mexico for a concert in 1960, the regime banned them from ever returning to cuba again. Celia COULDNT even attend her parents funerals. She then moved to the United States, found a home in New York, and then became a citizen. She stayed with La Sonora until 1965 and then began her solo career. She was contacted by Tito Puente who was very important in the making Latin Jazz in New York. That was the beginning of the next chapter of musical career Celia and Tito puente made a few albums together which weren't so successful. So she left for Fania records and joined the Fania All-Stars with Johnny Pacheco and debuted her most popular album Celia & Johnny. With Fania, Celia career skyrocketed. She had joined Fania in the 1970s which was also the time salsa was extremely popular. With them she record hits like Bemba Colora, Toro mata, and Quimbara. Salsa evetually died like most genres but Celia's popularity didn't. Years lster she made another hit entitled “La Negra Tiene Tumba'o”. A few months after releasing final album Regalo Del Alma in 2003, celia passed away. Her career lasted a little over 50 years and her impact on music in the Spanish speaking world is still seen in recent years. Celia as well as some of the Fania All-Stars paved the way for the popularity of genres such as Salsa, merengue, and reggaetón.

Ray Barretto was born on April 29 1929 in El Barrio, New York. His childhood wasn't an easy one, as his father left the family when Barretto was just 4 years old and returned to Puerto Rico. Barretto's mother moved the family to the Bronx and struggled as a single mother to raise Ray and his 2 siblings, yet she was still able to instill a love of music in Ray. From a young age Ray showed an interest in percussion, banging on pots and pans. In 1946, at the age of 17, he joined the Army and while stationed in Germany heard the seminal song, 'Manteca'. Ray knew he wanted to be a musician. Upon his return he joined jam session and perfected his sound. He soon found work with José Curbelo. Soon after, Ray joined the Tito Puente Orchestra at the recommendation of Santos Colon (former singer for Jose Curbelo). After four years with the Puente Orchestra, he became a house musician for Prestige, Blue Note and Riverside labels. Barretto started his band, Charanga La Moderna in 1962 and had his first big hit, 'El Watusi'. In 1967, Ray joins the Fania roster and becomes part of the Fania All Stars upon their founding. After success with his Salsa albums, Ray decided to record a Latin Jazz album in 1972, however, unfortunately it was not well received. The following years were filled with turbulence in Barretto's life as 5 members of his orchestra left the band form Tipica 73. Just two years later, Ray was in a car accident and could not play for several years. Despite these hardships, Ray came back better than ever with an album titled, 'Rican-Struction'. In the early 90's Ray again decides to pursue "the other road" again and forms 'Ray Barretto & New World Spirit'. This time he enjoyed great success his Latin Jazz ventures. Ray joined the ancestors on February 17, 2006, at the age of 76. He has left an immense legacy and impact.

His first recording "Sabor Del Barrio" led the way to a ten year association with Bad Street Boys. With an inherent desire to return to his roots, and with a firm work ethic rooted in the philosophy that "growth comes to a Salsero through ‘work, work and more work' Frankie parted ways and started focusing on the Salsa genre once again. Proving that it was the right choice for him, Frankie was ready when the Lebron Brothers invited him to sit in and record with them.The recording was so impressive, that Caiman Records then produced two albums featuring none other than Frankie Morales as a solo artist, entitled "Frankie Morales: En Su Punto" and "Standing Out". These two albums exposed Frankie to greater audiences and enhanced both his experience and reputation resulting in what he thought to be a dream when he was invited as an independent vocalist to join the great legends of "The Fania All-Stars."Continuing to grow his experience, and after singing back-up for Tito Nieves, the late visionary, Ralph Mercado recommended Frankie to Ernest "Tito" Puente, who was in search of a lead vocalist. Traveling the world with Master Puente, "El Rey Del Timbal," was definitely one of the highlights of Frankie's career and famed him as a Grammy Award winner with the recordings of "Tito Puente Mambo Birdland" and "Masterpiece", Puente's final album and collaboration with "The Great" Eddie Palmieri. Still today, even after "El Rey's" passing, Frankie holds the position of Lead Vocalist with the Tito Puente Orchestra.Bio Credit: klaveLatina.comSupport the show (https://cash.app/$AdrianLMontanez)

Episode 73 of the Burning Ambulance podcast features an interview with pianist Cameron Graves.I have a single subject we're going to be exploring through all ten episodes that I'm going to be presenting this season, and that subject is fusion. Fusion means much more, I think, than just the music that most people probably think of when they hear the word. Of course, it immediately brings to mind bands from the 1970s like the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, and Weather Report: groups that were formed by ex-members of Miles Davis's band, playing extremely complex compositions that blurred the lines between progressive rock and jazz, while still leaving room for extended improvisation. But if you think of fusion as a process rather than a style, the discussion gets a lot more interesting. Because then you can pull in the music being made by Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Santana, etc., all of which gets filed under just plain rock. And you can talk about the music Latin artists like Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, and the Fania All Stars were making at the same time. Or the really adventurous funk and R&B that was being made by Sly and the Family Stone, Parliament, Funkadelic, the Isley Brothers, Earth, Wind & Fire, the Ohio Players, Slave, which then leads you to jazz-funk names like George Duke, Billy Cobham, the Crusaders, Donald Byrd, Freddie Hubbard, Eddie Henderson, and of course Mwandishi and the Headhunters. This is how I prefer to think about fusion. It's not just a specific, narrow slice of music, it's the sound of walls being knocked down across the landscape.So that's the kind of philosophical starting point for all the interviews I'm doing this season, and that's what makes Cameron Graves such a perfect person to talk to. Because he's a guy who crosses all sorts of musical boundaries. He's had a lot of classical music training, as I learned during this conversation, he spent several years studying Indian music, and obviously he's got a deep jazz background starting out as a member of the Young Jazz Giants with Kamasi Washington and the Bruner brothers, Stephen aka Thundercat on bass and his brother Ronald on drums, which evolved into the West Coast Get Down and all the albums that they've made over the last half dozen years or so. But Cameron's also a lifelong metalhead — in fact, he played keyboards and guitar in Wicked Wisdom, the nu-metal band fronted by Jada Pinkett Smith in the early 2000s. So he's not only toured the world with Kamasi Washington and with Stanley Clarke, because he's a member of Clarke's band, too — he also played Ozzfest.And here's an interesting connection: the drummer for Wicked Wisdom was Philip “Fish” Fisher, the drummer for Fishbone. And when you talk about fusion as the kind of big-tent/umbrella sort of conceptual thing that I'm talking about, you have to include them in there. They mixed funk and hard rock and punk and metal and ska and reggae and jazz into one big swirl, particularly on their most ambitious album, 1991's The Reality of My Surroundings. There's all kinds of music on there, from Bad Brains-style hardcore to Last Poets-style abstract jazz poetry. And of course they were the best live band on the planet from the mid '80s to the early '90s.Fishbone were never as big as they deserved to be, but they were absolute heroes in L.A., and they were a huge inspiration to all kinds of open-minded musicians who came up in their wake. Last year, I interviewed Terrace Martin, who's an alto saxophonist affiliated with the West Coast Get Down but is also a hip-hop producer who's worked with Snoop Dogg for years — in fact, he put together a live band for Snoop in about 2010 that included Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Ryan Porter, who's been on this podcast before, and other people from their circle as well. Anyway, when I talked to Martin, he expressed a lot of love for Fishbone. And he's now a member of Herbie Hancock's band, in addition to being part of R+R=NOW, a group that also includes Robert Glasper and Christian Scott. And Thundercat and his brother, Ronald Bruner Jr., were both members of Suicidal Tendencies, playing straight-up punk and thrash, for years. There are so many connections between jazz and funk and metal, when you look for them, and bands that combine them in various really fascinating ways. It's all fusion, in the broad sense.Another thing that's really interesting, to me anyway, is that there are so many direct connections between the West Coast Get Down guys and the Seventies fusion artists. Like I said, Cameron Graves is in Stanley Clarke's band. Terrace Martin is in Herbie Hancock's band. Ronald Bruner Jr. played with George Duke before Duke died. Thundercat covered a George Duke song on one of his albums, and had Steve Arrington from Slave on his most recent record. It really is like they're the next generation of fusion. And we talk about all this and a lot more in the interview you're about to hear. This was a really fun conversation that went in some very interesting directions, and I hope you enjoy listening to it.Music in this episode:Cameron Graves, “Planetary Prince” (from Planetary Prince)Cameron Graves, “The Life Carriers” (from Seven)Cameron Graves, “Red” (from Live From the Seven Spheres)

This season on the Burning Ambulance Podcast, we're going to have a single subject we're going to be exploring through all ten episodes, and that subject is fusion.Fusion, of course, is a term that means different things to different people. When most people hear it, they probably think of bands from the 1970s like the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, and Weather Report: groups that were formed by ex members of Miles Davis's band that played extremely complex compositions that were sometimes closer to progressive rock than to jazz, but which still left room for extended improvisation. What's interesting about that positioning is that it's very easy to draw lines between that stuff and the music being made by Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Santana, all of which gets filed under just plain rock. And if you extend the boundaries out just a little bit further, you get to the music Latin artists like Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, and the Fania All-Stars were making at the same time. Or think about some of the really adventurous funk and R&B that was being made by Earth, Wind & Fire, Parliament and Funkadelic, the Ohio Players, Slave, the Isley Brothers... This is what's so interesting to me about fusion, is that at its best it's about all kinds of musical boundaries being knocked down.I recently spent some time listening to a whole bunch of albums by keyboardist George Duke, released on the MPS label between about 1971 and 1976. Duke was a really fascinating figure, because he traveled between worlds to really unprecedented degree. He had his own trio in the late 60s, and somehow or other hooked up with electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. They made an album together, and the gigs they played in L.A. brought them to the attention of Frank Zappa and Cannonball Adderley, two people who couldn't have been doing more different things. But Zappa hired Ponty to play on Hot Rats, and then wrote and produced an entire album, King Kong, on which Ponty played Zappa's compositions, and George Duke was the keyboardist on that record. And after that, both Zappa and Cannonball Adderley – who, don't forget, had Joe Zawinul in his band before that, who composed “In A Silent Way” and played with Miles Davis, and formed Weather Report with Wayne Shorter – both Adderley and Zappa wanted George Duke in their bands. He wound up taking both gigs, doing two years with Zappa, then two years with Adderley, then going back to Zappa's band for three or four more years. He had left the group by 1975, though, so he was not part of the concerts recorded for the album Zappa In New York. But Randy Brecker was.Brecker and his brother, saxophonist Michael Brecker, who died in 2007, worked together in dozens if not hundreds of contexts from the late Sixties to the Nineties. They were both part of that Zappa concert, which was related to their being part of the Saturday Night Live band at the time; they played on a million recording sessions for everyone from Aerosmith to Bette Midler to Aretha Franklin to Lou Reed to Dire Straits to Donald Fagen. They were part of drummer Billy Cobham's band in the early to mid '70s, playing on Crosswinds and Total Eclipse and Shabazz and A Funky Thide Of Sings. And right around that same time, they formed the Brecker Brothers band and made a string of albums for Arista that were extremely successful. Now, what matters for the purposes of this introduction is that the side of fusion the Brecker Brothers represented was very different from the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Weather Report side. That was, for lack of a better term, white fusion. It was marketed to white rock audiences. Those bands toured with rock bands. They played arena concerts. Lenny White talked about it in the previous episode of this podcast — the members of Return to Forever hung out with members of Yes. On the other side of the coin, there was black and Latin fusion. Like I said above, there was some incredibly challenging music being made under the headings of salsa and Latin jazz in the 70s – you should check out the episode of this podcast where I interviewed Eddie Palmieri to hear more about that, as well as the episode with Billy Cobham, where he talks about performing with the Fania All-Stars. There are funk records that are every bit as complex as prog rock. Jazz artists like Donald Byrd and Freddie Hubbard, George Duke and even Joe Henderson were all making records that can really only be described as fusion in the early 70s, and that's without even getting into what Miles Davis was doing, particularly with his live band from 1973 to 1975. But except for George Duke, who actually had Frank Zappa cut a couple of guitar solos on his 1974 album Feel, they were drawing more from funk than from rock, and they were marketed more to black audiences than white. And as Randy Brecker explains in this interview, that was where the Brecker Brothers fell. They had more success on black radio and on the R&B chart than in the rock world. Now, eventually, that more funk-oriented, R&B-oriented side of fusion slid in an explicitly commercial, radio-friendly direction, and a lot of it ended up as smooth jazz. Which is to some degree why the term is vilified in some quarters today. But that doesn't take anything away from the good stuff, and Randy Brecker has been involved with some very good records over the years.This was a really fun conversation that went in some very interesting directions. I hope you enjoy listening to it.Music in this episode: The Brecker Brothers, “Some Skunk Funk” (Heavy Metal Be-Bop)Billy Cobham, “Taurian Matador” (Shabazz)The Brecker Brothers, “Sneakin' Up Behind You” (The Brecker Brothers)

This season on the Burning Ambulance Podcast, we're going to have a single subject we're going to be exploring through all ten episodes, and that subject is fusion.Fusion, of course, is a term that means different things to different people. When most people hear it, they probably think of bands from the 1970s like the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, and Weather Report: groups that were formed by ex members of Miles Davis's band that played extremely complex compositions that were sometimes closer to progressive rock than to jazz, but which still left room for extended improvisation. What's interesting about that positioning is that it's very easy to draw lines between that stuff and the music being made by Yes, King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Santana, all of which gets filed under just plain rock. And if you extend the boundaries out just a little bit further, you get to the music Latin artists like Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto, and the Fania All-Stars were making at the same time. Or think about some of the really adventurous funk and R&B that was being made by Earth, Wind & Fire, Parliament and Funkadelic, the Ohio Players, Slave, the Isley Brothers... This is what's so interesting to me about fusion, is that at its best it's about all kinds of musical boundaries being knocked down.I recently spent some time listening to a whole bunch of albums by keyboardist George Duke, released on the MPS label between about 1971 and 1976. Duke was a really fascinating figure, because he traveled between worlds to really unprecedented degree. He had his own trio in the late 60s, and somehow or other hooked up with electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. They made an album together, and the gigs they played in L.A. brought them to the attention of Frank Zappa and Cannonball Adderley, two people who couldn't have been doing more different things.
