Hoy os entregamos un excelente trabajo de uno de los músicos más infravalorados de la historia del jazz, el saxofonista y compositor Grover Washington Jr. El disco se llamó Then and Now y fue editado en el año 1988 a través de la discográfica Columbia. Then and Now es, en nuestra opinión, el mejor disco de la carrera de Washington y es, además, la particular venganza de Grover hacia toda aquella legión de críticos que durante años habían vapuleado todos y cada uno de sus trabajos asegurando que el artista no era un músico de jazz. El disco, efectivamente, está lleno de jazz y blues y contiene la aportación de algunos brillantísimos músicos como el bajista Ron Carter, el pianista y teclista Herbie Hancock, el también pianista Tommy Flanagan, el saxo tenor ruso Igor Butman o los baterías Marvin Smithy Smith y Darryl Washington, este último hermano de Grover. Además de eso Then and Now nos acerca una brillante selección de temas firmados por los mencionados Carter, Hancock, Flanagan y el propio Grover y algunos standards de jazz que son originales de leyendas como Duke Ellington, Oliver Nelson o Victor Young. Una auténtica gozada que va a ser nuestro disco en el Vinilos para Gatos de hoy. TRACKS 1-Blues For D.P. (Ron Carter) 2-Just Enough (Herbie Hancock) 3-French Connections (Igor Butman) 4-Something Borrowed, Something Blue (Tommy Flanagan) 5-Lullaby For Shana Bly (Grover Washington Jr.) 6-Stolen Moments (Oliver Nelson) 7-In a Sentimental Mood (Duke Ellington, Manny Kurtz, Irving Mills) 8-Stella by Starlight (Victor Young, Ned Washington) CREDITS Grover Washington Jr. – soprano saxophone (1, 6, 8), tenor saxophone (2–5), alto saxophone (7) Igor Butman – tenor saxophone (3, 6, 8) Herbie Hancock – grand piano (1, 2, 5) James "Sid" Simmons – grand piano (3, 6, 8) Tommy Flanagan – grand piano (4, 7) Richard Lee Steacker – guitars (3, 6) Ron Carter – double bass (1, 2, 5) Gerald Veasley – 5-string electric bass (3, 6, 8) Grady Tate – drums (1) Marvin "Smitty" Smith – drums (1, 2, 5) Darryl Washington – drums (3, 6, 8) Miguel Fuentes – percussion (3, 6, 8)

Vahe Sarkissian has performed/worked with Earl Slick (John Lennon, David Bowie), Gina Schock (Rock and Roll Hall of Famer from the Go Go's), Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Deep Purple, KISS), Gerald Veasley, and Keiko Matsui, in addition to opening up for artists such as Slash, Victor Wooten, Shinedown, The Roots, Richie Kotzen, Greg Howe, and Halestorm. He has been interviewed by WMMR legend Pierre Robert and performed live on the Preston and Steve show. Check out his album "Curcuna" which is a fusion of Armenian-jazz-funk-and rock music. The early part of his career began at the age of 14 traveling the U.S. playing Mediterranean and Armenian music. After studying music at The University of the Arts, he received his masters degree where he studied with Pat Martino, Jimmy Bruno, and Tom Giacobetti.

My guest today is bassist Gerald Veasley. Philadelphia Native, Gerald has brought his 6-string bass all over the world performing with Grover Washington Jr., Joe Zawinul, McCoy Tyner, and Odean Pope to name a few. I've gotten to know Gerald through his work as president of Jazz Philadelphia, a non-profit seeking to strengthen and elevate the Jazz ecosystem in our city. Although this is a conversation between two bassists, we don't actually talk about bass that much. Most of the conversation centers around one of my favorite topics, the art of learning, which is a common theme whenever Gerald and I get a chance to speak.www.geraldveasley.com

A Philadelphia native, James began his musical training in church and attended the Philadelphia High School for Creative and Performing Arts, which produced other notable acts Bilal, Boyz II Men and The Roots. Studying both vocal performance and instrumental music, James excelled as a vocalist and musician before continuing his education at Temple University majoring in jazz performance and music technology. James quickly grabbed attention and acclaim from artists both within and outside of his hometown of Philadelphia. Lady Alma, Kindred the Family Soul, Bilal, Jazmine Sullivan, Kelis, Ray Chew, The Jazzyfatnastees, Camp Lo, Talib Kweli, Kelly Clarkson and Gerald Veasley have all shared the experience of James keeping time behind them. In 2009, James teamed with one of house music's biggest producers, Kenny Dope to release his first commercially available project, an EP titled "Money for Love". This was the first time that he took the spotlights as a vocalist, and set the ground for his self-produced debut album "Conversations in Analog, Vol. 1". This album covered the genres he was most known for: jazz, R&B/soul and house. In addition to being the drummer/programmer on the album, he also showcases himself vocally on the album-ending track "Freedom". In 2017, James and his band, The Buttered Biscuits, released his follow-up EP, "Biscuit Street" which features a re-interpretation of the Tears for Fears classic "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", and Alyson Williams on a cover of the Emotions classic "Don't Ask My Neighbor". The project is the most personal of any he's worked on for any artist, as it includes "Give It A Chance", the song he wrote to propose to his wife. Currently, James is touring as the musical director for Vivian Green and featured drummer for the Screaming Headless Torsos. He continually finds inspirations in both legends like Buddy Miles, Phil Collins and Earth, Wind & Fire, as well as contemporaries and friends Lil' John Roberts and Ahmir '?uestlove' Thompson. •••• The B-Side Podcast is produced by Charlie Hoxie, Kecia Cole, Ro Johnson and Sachar Mathias; recorded by Onel Mulet and Steve de Seve; and edited by Emily Boghossian and Khyriel Palmer.
