At risk of seeming sexist, it must be noted that the two prodigies of the bass featured here are female, and perhaps that, in some sense, informs their approach to their artistry.  Listening to BC by Tal Wilkenfeld, and Esparanza Spalding's Vague Suspicions, one cannot help but appreciate both the technical precision, and the soulfulness of their musical expression. The bass rarely takes the lead in an ensemble - they are usually responsible for holding down the bottom with the drums. However, occasionally, the bassist will step forward into the limelight - Charlie Mingus and Jaco Pastorius come to mind - and, this inversion can lead to some amazing revelations. ESPERANZA SPALDINGI was inspired to read that Esperanza Spalding had been afflicted with Juvenile idiopathic Arthritis as a child. That this was to be the launching pad for a career as master of one of the most physically demanding instruments imaginable - the upright bass -, puts me in awe.  (She also plays the violin, guitar, piano and the oboe). Having the ears and instincts of a prodigy, she was given a full scholarship to the Berkelee School of Music, where she was also granted an honorary doctorate and professorship at age 20.By the way: let's not neglect to mention her singing, which is miraculous, lifting easily from conversational mode to a soaring airiness, there are unmistakeable echoes of Billie and Ella.  Besides all this, she's on a mission to make jazz more mainstream - attested by the title of the album Radio Music Society, from which this track derives. If anyone can accomplish this feat, it's this Grammy Award winner. TAL WILKENFELDI first became aware of Tal Wilkenfeld when I saw Jeff Beck play A Day in the Life at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremonies. There was Beck, looking relaxed and dashing - delicately maneuvering his whammy bar… and to his left stood what looked like a street urchin with wild ringlets, following his every nuance, note for note, wielding a massive Fender bass, which was as big as she was. It was alchemy. Later, I watched the Live at Ronnie Scott's video where you could really see the two magicians extended celebration. She was around 20 at the time, possessed of a preternatural talent, and sidekick to one of the greatest guitarists who ever lived. Since then, the master has left this realm, and the apprentice has stepped forward to become her own front person - living in Nashville, playing with her band, and her calendar is filled with multiple special appearances and collaborations. And, to top it all, she's jolly. Her sense of humor is obvious, partnering with comedians, Marc Maron, Spinal Tap, and Jeff Ross on their projects.

TU JAZZ CON SABOR A CLUB.-.Kurt Elling & the Yellowjackets .-60º Jazzaldia.--48º Jazz Vitoria Gasteiz Toquinho & Yamandú Costa El cantante norteamericano Kurt Elling, una de las voces más destacadas del jazz actual, y el grupo Yellowjackets, una de las bandas de jazz fusión más importantes de la historia del jazz, han unido sus fuerzas para rendir homenaje a una de las bandas más icónicas del jazz fusión como fueron Weather Report. Sólo por recordar por si hay algún despistado en la sala: Weather Report fue fundado por el teclista austriaco Joe Zawinul y el saxofonista norteamericano Wayne Shorter, y a lo largo de su dilatada historia pasaron por la banda músicos de la talla de Jaco Pastorius, Miroslav Vitouš, Alphonse Mouzon, Don Alias, Airto Moreira, Alphonso Johnson, Leon ‘Ndugu’ Chancler, Chester Thompson, Alex Acuña, Manolo Badrena, Peter Erskine, Omar Hakim, Victor Bailey, Mino Cinélu, Steve Gadd y Tony Williams. Pura historia del jazz de los años setenta y ochenta. Y todo sin contar que su ‘ Black Market’ es uno de los mejores temas de jazz fusión de toda la historia del jazz. Kurt Elling and Yellowjackets, que eran el plato fuerte de la primera noche de los conciertos en la plaza de la Trinidad, tuvieron un enemigo inesperado, bueno no tanto, la lluvia. Y por muy aficionado al jazz que seas, es muy difícil lograr la complicidad de un público mojado hasta los huesos aunque este cubierto de un fino poncho de plástico. La propuesta del cantante y del grupo es un muy buen ejercicio de puro vocalese; esto es, poner letra a canciones que eran sólo instrumentales. Y de esta manera el repertorio de Weather Report se ve enriquecido tanto por las propias letras como por la estupenda voz de Elling. A lo largo de su actuación sonaron temas como ‘A Remark You Made’, ‘Three Views of a Secret’, ‘Continuum’ y, por supuesto, ‘Black Market’ que dejaron para el final. Yellowjackets se mostró como una banda que sabe acompañar muy bien a cantantes, como ya demostraron hace años en el mismo Jazzaldia pero acompañando a Bobby McFerrin en un concierto inolvidable, y que no desmerece en nada en sus interpretaciones a los originales. Lástima de lluvia que fue, al igual que en otras ediciones, un invitado desagradable durante toda la celebración del 60 Jazzaldia. Antonio Pecci, conocido mundialmente como Toquinho, forma parte de una generación de músicos, junto a Caetano Veloso, Chico Buarque y Gilberto Gil, que configuraron una nueva forma de entender el arte musical de su país. A lo largo de sus casi seis décadas de carrera, Toquinho, que comenzó sus estudios de guitarra con 14 años con el músico Paulinho Nogueira, ha experimentado y evolucionado hasta convertirse en un guitarrista y cantautor con personalidad propia. Sus más de 40 discos editados e innumerables giras mundiales le han convertido en un referente de la difusión de la bossa nova y el jazz tropical. Toquinho compartirá escenario con un compatriota suyo, considerado uno de los mayores talentos de la guitarra actual: Yamandu Costa. Hace dos años, el público del Festival de Jazz de Vitoria-Gasteiz fue testigo de su creatividad musical y su técnica absolutamente perfecta, con la guitarra de 7 cuerdas. Toquinho y Yamandu Costa colaboraron en el álbum Bachianinha, grabado en directo en el Festival de Jazz de Montreux, con el que ganaron el Latin Grammy 2021 a mejor álbum instrumental.

Heavy Weather is the landmark 1977 album by jazz fusion supergroup Weather Report, and one of the genre's defining records. Blending the virtuosity of jazz with the electricity of rock and the rhythmic sensibilities of funk and Latin music, the album finds the band at their creative peak. Led by keyboardist Joe Zawinul and saxophonist Wayne Shorter, and featuring the explosive fretless bass work of Jaco Pastorius, Heavy Weather introduced a new level of accessibility to jazz fusion without compromising its complexity.The album opens with the now-iconic “Birdland,” a joyous, infectious track that became a crossover hit and a jazz standard. Elsewhere, the band explores cinematic moods (“A Remark You Made”), high-octane groove workouts (“Teen Town”), and extended sonic landscapes (“Harlequin” and “Havona”). Each member's contribution is distinct and dazzling, yet the ensemble playing remains tight and cohesive. The album's production is crisp, lush, and layered—showcasing a band pushing the limits of their instruments and genre.What did you think of this album? Send us a text!

Nick picks up where he left off last week with another “News with Nick.” Have a few thousand dollars sitting around and always wanted to own something that belonged to David Lynch? Here's an auction just for you! TayTay buys back her records, and Eminem is suing Instagram (Meta).Song: Rival Sons - “Thundering Voices”In recent years, Greg has developed a deeper appreciation for Word of Mouth, Jaco Pastorius's second solo album. While the record receives mixed reviews—some hearing signs of the personal struggles with addiction and mental health that would later claim Jaco's life at just 35—Greg has come to believe there's something really special about it. You should give it a few listens and let us know what you think.Songs:Jaco Patorius - “Crisis”Jaco Patorius - “Three Views of a Secret”Jaco Patorius - “Liberty City” Jay remembers Rick Derringer & Sly Stone. Mr. Derringer, who passed at the age of 77, had a decades long career as a guitarist, songwriter, and producer.

Adelantada a su tiempo, visionaria, inclasificable y libre, pionera de la música electrónica y alquimista de la fusión entre jazz, rock y poesia surreal... En este episodio escucharemos la música de Annette Peacock, la auténtica diva oculta de la vanguardia musical del siglo XX, musa inalcanzable de David Bowie e inspiración subterránea de Salvador Dalí. Su carrera discográfica, errática pero fascinante, cautivó por igual a músicos de jazz como sus ex maridos Gary Peacock y Paul Bley, y a luminarias del rock progresivo como el poderoso batería Bill Bruford o el torrencial guitarrista Allan Holdsworth. Interpretaron su enigmáticas composiciones estrellas del calibre de Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Al Kooper o Mick Ronson. Bautizó uno de sus últimos discos como “El corazón de una acróbata”, acertado título, perfectamente descriptivo de la carrera musical de una funambulista que caminó siempre por el alambre entre la belleza y el riesgo, entre la placidez y el peligro.

Hans Barfod tegner et potræt af Jaco Pastorius, bassist, orkesterleder og komponist. Han levede fra 1951 til 1987 og nåede at revolutionere el-basspillet med sin båndløse bas og sin brug af flageoletter og sin store virtuositet. Han spillede med Weather Report fra 1976 til 1981 og dannede sin egen gruppe – WORD of MOUTH, som turnerede i USA, Japan og Europa. Podcasten indeholder ud over en masse spændende musik – solo, duo, trio og med...

Send us a textThe invisible art of music production takes center stage in this fascinating deep dive with Jay, Tiffany, and special guest Mark, who brings decades of musical knowledge to the conversation. What begins with nostalgic recollections of sneaking backstage at a David Lee Roth concert evolves into a masterclass on what makes truly great music tick.The trio explores the meticulous methods of legendary producers like Mutt Lange, whose perfectionism had one of Nashville's premier guitarists repeating just four measures for nearly a week until capturing the precise take he wanted. This standard of excellence explains why Lange's productions for artists like AC/DC, Def Leppard, and Shania Twain remain timeless sonic benchmarks decades later.A spirited debate emerges when the question "Who is the greatest bassist of all time?" hits the table. The hosts and audience members champion virtuosos from across genres—Jaco Pastorius's jazz fusion brilliance, Geddy Lee's progressive rock complexity, Les Claypool's avant-garde techniques, and the funk mastery of Flea. After passionate advocacy and thoughtful analysis of what makes a bassist truly exceptional, Victor Wooten emerges victorious, celebrated for his revolutionary approach to the instrument.When analyzing Tyler Braden's "God & Guns and Roses," the conversation transforms into a fascinating breakdown of music production's three pillars: songwriting quality, performance excellence, and production craftsmanship. This analytical framework offers rare insight into how industry professionals evaluate music beyond subjective preferences.The episode also touches on genre crossover controversies, with heated opinions about which artists are making authentic evolutions versus calculated commercial moves. Whether you're a musician, producer, or simply a passionate music fan, this episode delivers both entertainment and education in equal measure.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comVirtually You: https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/ Support the show

Episode 71: Harvey Mason Sr. You've heard Harvey Mason Sr., whether you realize it or not. From the iconic grooves of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters to the GRAMMY-winning “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal, Harvey's drumming has shaped music history across genres, decades, and mediums — albums, film scores, and TV alike. He's not only a musical powerhouse, but a dear friend, and in this episode, we finally sat down to dig into his legendary run — especially his work with Herbie Hancock and the Head Hunters album. Harvey shares the story of how that band came together, the sessions behind Chameleon and Watermelon Man, and why he chose not to tour with them at the height of their success. We also dive into his solo career — how it started, how it evolved, and the surprising role Clive Davis played in making it all happen. Harvey opens up about his long-standing friendships and collaborations with Quincy Jones and Chick Corea, his approach to fatherhood (including raising his sons Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, and Max Mason, former VP of Quincy Jones Productions), and how he built a legacy both on and off the kit. Fun fact: Vic Firth was Harvey's teacher — and Harvey still receives royalties from the early days of Vic Firth drumsticks! We also get into his stunning new album Changing Partners: Trios 2, featuring the likes of Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, James Genus, Dave Grusin, Stanley Clarke. This conversation is a masterclass in musicianship, legacy, and love for the craft.

This week's episode comes to you in the afterglow of two sold out Joni Mitchell performances at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where molecules were rearranged, hearts were broken wide open and 17,000 fans basked in her brilliance. Though she has a bit of FOMO over missing out on being part of the Joni Jam, this week's first guest, Shawn Colvin, has plenty of Joni stories. After initially discovering Clouds as a teenager at church camp, Shawn found herself many years later recording her 2nd album at Joni's house with Joni's then-husband Larry Klein, and Episode 7 guests Béla Fleck and Bruce Hornsby. Shawn says that she learned everything she could from Clouds, including a percussive approach to guitar, and it set her on a path to a solo approach to performing and writing songs which would not have happened without Joni Mitchell. She tells host/producer Carmel Holt about her “big brother” relationship with Bruce Hornsby and how he helped her overcome the heartbreak of a terrible New York Times live show review by sharing a folder of his own scathing media clips, one of which called him a “gherkin” (UK speak for pickle). MUNA guitarist, multi-instrumentalist and writer Naomi McPherson grew up in a family of jazz musicians. Like several of our guests, their gateway to Joni Mitchell was Blue and then the fretless bass of Jaco Pastorius on Hejira locked them in. From there, they went hardcore into 70s and onward Joni while listening to cassette tapes of Turbulent Indigo, Night Ride Home and Miles of Aisles in their 1998 Honda Accord. Naomi says that they are still learning from Joni's music and that because of her, they play exclusively in open tunings. They talk about how Joni's music spans genres and how much sonic exploration there is to mine in her catalog - from folk to the jazz era to 80s pop influences. Naomi thanks Joni for her fearlessness and considers her to be the greatest songwriter of all time.

My guest in this episode is Nicki Cockburn. Nicki now lives in Cardiff but was born in 1978 in Zimbabwe. At 5 months old, after her Mum insisted on a second opinion, she was diagnosed as being blind. For sighted people like me that would feel like a massive burden and challenge but in talking about it Nicki says “I'm really happy with it, you have to adapt' and “it's been a problem for a lot of people, but never for me”. Nicki doesn't shy away from discussing some of the challenges and prejudice she has faced but her indomitable spirit shines through our whole conversation and I found it deeply inspirational, and I trust you will too. The other thing that shines through is Nicki's deep love of music which has been a positive force in her life for so long. She references over 50 artists in our chat and it's not everyone that can go from ‘The Chicken Song' through Jaco Pastorius to Rage Against the Machine! Nicki isn't just a listener she is also a musician. Her musical journey has gone through Piano, Flute and Guitar before she arrived in early 40's at the Bass Guitar, which describes as ‘her instrument' and one of her song choices specifically reflect that. Her song choices are : 70's      Your My Best Friend                                Don Williams80's      Rio                                                                      Duran Duran90's      The Car Song                                               Elastica00's      Bass Tribute                                                 Victor Wooten10's      Trust In You                                                  Lauren Dagle20's      Too Good For Giving Up                       Liam Gallagher Enjoy :-)If you would like to be on the show then please contact me at musictalkspod@outlook.com Please follow and like Music Talks on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/musictalkspod .
