PODCAST INTEGRANTE DE ESFERA JAZZ: https://www.esferajazz.com Gino Vannelli estudió teoría de la música en la McGill University, en su Montreal natal. Su padre, Russ Vannelli, era un gran aficionado al jazz y al descubrir el talento del joven Gino y también de sus hermanos Joe y Ross, decidió traspasar su afición a sus hijos. Pensó que Gino podía ser un excelente bateria y emular a su ídolo Gene Kruppa y de hecho el aprendizaje de ese instrumento tendría una importante influencia en la música de Vannelli. Pero Gino crecía en una época en la cual los Beatles arrasaban. El joven Vannelli asistía además regularmente a los conciertos de música clásica que se daban en su entorno. Por si eso fuera poco, el jazz-rock estaba empezando a tomar forma y gente como Dave Brubeck o Miles Davis ya eran considerados auténticos fenómenos sociales. Toda esta sucesión de hechos sería decisiva en la creación del estilo Vannelli. En aquellos momentos, los hermanos Gino y Joe intentaban sin demasiado éxito hacer una primera grabación. Un buen día, hartos del rechazo que habían sufrido por parte de todas las compañías discográficas con las que habían estado en contacto, Gino decidió esperar al reputado productor y trompetista Herp Alpert en el parking de la discográfica A&M Records, propiedad de este. Parece ser que Alpert comprendió que Vannelli iba a tocar aunque se hundiera el mundo y le citó 1 hora y media más tarde para realizar una audición. Gino tocó 5 temas y Alpert le contrató de inmediato. El resultado sería el primer disco de Vannelli, Crazy Life (1973) en el cual Gino y Joe componían todos los temas y tocaban todos los instrumentos. La canción que dá título al disco, una preciosa balada con aires de bossanova, es la única pieza aún presente en el repertorio actual de Vannelli y ha sido interpretada en la mayoría de los conciertos del vocalista de Montreal. Una pena ya que el disco contiene varios excelentes temas como "Cherizar", "There's no Time" o "Fling on Mine", entre otros. El segundo trabajo de Vannelli, "Powerful People" (1974) ya nos muestra algo más de lo que será su discografía. A parte de la exitosa "People Gotta Move", probablemente el peor tema del disco, contiene piezas memorables, como "Powerful People", "Son of A New York Gun", "The Work Verse", "Jack Miraculous" o "Poor Happy Jimmy", en homenaje a Jim Croce, músico fallecido en un accidente de avión. Para "Powerful People", Gino y Joe Vannelli se rodearon de algunos interesantes músicos de su entorno, como el gran bateria Graham Lear o el teclista Richard Baker. Ambos serían poco después reclamados por Carlos Santana para su formación. Parece ser que Santana estaba muy atento ante los trabajos de Vannelli en los primeros 70. "Powerful people", combina jazz, funk, disco, soul y recoge la atmósfera de lo que será la discografía de Vannelli en los años 70 y principios de los ochenta, un sonido lleno de sintetizadores per no por ello menos cálido. Poweful People anuncia la irrupción de un fenómeno musical alabado y repudiado a partes iguales, el fenómeno Gino Vannelli. Su siguiente disco, el trabajo que os proponemos hoy en el tejado es el clásico "Storm ut Sunup" (1975). Además de los músicos que utilizó en "Powerful People", Vannelli contó para esta grabación con gente de la talla del saxofonista Jerome Richardson, el percusionista Sergio Pastora, el harmónica Donald Bailey o el excelente guitarrista Jay Graydon. Abre el vinilo el sorprendente "Storm at Sunup", toda una lección de batería a cargo de Lear con un par de emocionantes y desgarrados sólos de saxo interpretados por una leyenda del jazz como Richardson. Emociónate escuchándolo porqué es tan sólo el principio de una grabación que en ningún caso te dejará indiferente. TRACKS (todos los temas con música y letra de Gino Vannelli) 1-Storm at Sunup 2-Love Me Now 3-Mama Coco 4-Father and Son 5-Where Am I Going 6-Keep on Walking 7-Love Is a Night 8-Gettin' High CREDITS Gino Vannelli Vocals, Arranger, Producer Joe Vannelli Electric Piano, Acoustic Piano, Synths, String & Horn Arrangements, Arranger, Producer Richard Baker Organ, Synth Bass, String & Horn Arrangements Graham Lear Drums John J.

The legendary Jay Graydon has a conversation with Tom about winning two Grammy Awards for "After The Love Has Gone", as made famous by Earth, Wind & Fire, and George Benson's "Turn Your Love Around" respectively. He lifts the lid on the sessions for Al Jarreau's classic record, "Mornin". He also discusses his incredible sample set, The Famous E Electric Piano, available now at jaygraydon.com. Jay will be starting an instructional Youtube channel in the near future, drawing on his many years of experience as a guitarist, songwriter and engineer at the very highest level.

Climb aboard!!!

First, a story about the ideal first encounter.    Michael Franks - When She Is Mine (1985) His first album was on the Brut label. WAMPUS DOESN'T SOUND SO BAD NOW, DOES IT??? The players on his albums are pretty much the same studio cats on every yacht rock act's harder-to-play stuff. Chicago, Steely Dan, Boz Scaggs, Dan Lewis, everyone. But it's a testament to that cadre of professionals that they can do something as laid back and open as Franks' music AND Steely Dan. I hear the difference. You do, too, if you listen to this show. But...they ruined Chicago. And for that, I will never forgive David Foster. I LOVE this song. I can even forgive the couplet, "She's a virtuoso in amoroso..." No purist, I.  Manhattan Transfer  -  Walk In Love (1976) Michael Franks - Tiger In The Rain (1979) The Brighter Side Of Darkness - Love Jones (1972) Brighter Side of Darkness was a short-lived American R&B/soul group. They were formed in 1971 at Calumet High School in Chicago, Illinois. Their lead singer was 12-year-old Darryl Lamont. "Love Jones" was a #16 hit in the US in December 1972, and was certified gold by the RIAA. They released an album, Love Jones, in 1973. "Love Jones" was parodied as "Basketball Jones" by Cheech and Chong in 1973. The parody was released as a single in August 1973 and reached #15 on the Hot 100. The parody got higher than the original. Oh well, as long as the checks clear. I don't think they all did. They broke up after this.  Manhattan Transfer  - It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference (1976)  This album Coming Out featured Popsicle Toes by Michael Franks. Michael Franks - The Lady Wants To Know (1977) Manhattan Transfer - Chicken Bone Bone (1971) Manhattan Transfer Phase 1 I guess. Wikipedia: Jukin' remained an orphan in the Manhattan Transfer's catalog. Issued on a different label than their future successes, with a different line-up and sound from what became their trademark, Jukin' is not acknowledged on the band's official website, nor have any of its tracks been anthologized on compilations. The revised group re-recorded the track "Java Jive" on the group's next album. It is the re-recorded version, not the version found on Jukin' , that can be found on multiple compilation albums. FOR ALL YOU MANHATTAN TRANSFER PURISTS OUT THERE.  Don Ellis - Excursion Part 2 (1970) Written by the same fellow that wrote "Walk In Love" which you'll recall from earlier in my show.  Don Ellis - Pussy Wiggle Stomp (1970) Jay Graydon on guitar. He produced Manhattan Transfer and played that one-of-a-kind solo on "Peg" by Steely Dan.  Graydon has written over 200 songs. His catalog includes the Grammy winners "Turn Your Love Around" (co-written with Steve Lukather (Toto) and Bill Champlin (Chicago)) as performed by George Benson and "After the Love Has Gone" (co-written with David Foster (who ruined Chicago) and Bill Champlin (who stood by and watched)) as performed by Earth, Wind & Fire, many songs written with and for Al Jarreau (including "Mornin'", "Breakin' Away", "After All", etc.), and several hits with... Manhattan Transfer.    So, Donny Jenczka...I auditioned for your band in 1985. I sang the song "After All". What was wrong with my performance? Why didn't I get into the band?   Mike Sheridan’s Lot - Make Them Understand (1965) Roy Wood's first recorded song.  Michael Franks - Can't Seem to Shake This Rock and Roll (1973) Michael Franks had a strange take on the Rock. To be....frank? HAAHAHAHAHHA LOL    Sick Man of Europe - Mandocello (1972) Cheap Trick before the mighty Robin Zander grabbed the mic from these idiots.  Nature’s Way - Zander and Kent (1973)  Muse - Across The Skies (1970) Cheech and Chong  (featuring Tyrone Shoelaces) - Basketball Jones (1974) Serendipity! George Harrison plays on this. So does Klaus Voorman. My sister had this album. Read the Wiki.  Weldon Irvine - Love Jones (1974) This record got zero stars in the 1981 Rolling Stone Record Guide, so I had to check it out. If you use the RSRG to help inform your purchases, please take care to note the person doing the reviews. There are (were) many, and I think the guy that reviewed Gentle Giant was a big punk fan. Notable on this particular release is my favorite bass player, George Murray, before his stint with David Bowie. I never would have known that without the shitty RS review!  Manhattan Transfer - The Twilight Zone (1979)  Mahogany Rush -  Maxoom (1972) The worst band to be signed to a major label.  Mahogany Rush - Buddy (1972)  In an effort to gain press attention, the original record company created a fictional story that Frank Marino, prior to starting the band, had spent time in a mental institution after taking LSD and was visited by Jimi Hendrix in a vision. This gave him his inspiration to play as he did on the first album which very closely mirrored the style of Jimi Hendrix. By the time the third album, Strange Universe was recorded, this approach to filling the public desire to purchase newer Jimi Hendrix-styled music had been perfected.  Rock and Roll will MESS YOU UP. 

The guys chat about Rob Lowe and Mario Lopez they're both huge fans of Yacht Rock. Plus memories of Todd Rundgren and the song 'Love Is The Answer' which became a huge hit for England Dan & John Ford Coley!

We last had Jay on the show ten years ago when we discussed various highlights of his career, so we’re pleased to have him back to update us on several recent topics, including the new JaR album, his ‘E’ Model Rhodes project, some guitars from his collection that he’s parting ways with, and so much more. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome back Jay Graydon.

Dan Backman och Per Åslund gräver efter smooth västkustguld i skivbackarna och namedroppar ohälsosamt många studiomusiker från Los Angeles. Smeksamma melodier, slicka ackordvändningar och sjukt tajta trummisar. Det har klagats lite på att poddarna varit för korta så den här gången blir det drygt fyrtio minuter mjukgung och onödigt vetande om musiken och musikerna. Vi börjar med yacht rock-ikonen Christopher Cross och slutar med en av Phil Collins favoriter: Stephen Bishop. Däremellan blir det, bland mycket annat, lite kristen smooth, lite Jay Graydon-proddad Dionne Warwick och lite Nicolette Larson tillsammans med Michael McDonald.

    My guest today is Mr. Phil DeGruy, a "guitarist's guitarist" with a unique style that can oftentimes seem to defy description. Perhaps the closest that anyone has come to an accurate description of Phil's playing is non other than Steve Vai who said, “Phil's approach to the guitar sounds like John Coltrane meets Mel Brooks at a party for Salvador Dali.” Indeed.  A highly creative and inventive musician, Phil was born and raised in New Orleans, LA, and quickly became attached to the guitar and the sounds that would later inspire many guitarists of his generation to pick up the instrument - The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck etc.  In his late teen's deGruy became interested in jazz and began studying with local guru Hank Mackie who also introduced him to the sounds of Chet Atkins. His world changed when he met the late Lenny Breau (see Riff Raff # 28) who would become his mentor and close friend until Breau's tragic death in 1984, a case that to this day remains unsolved. In our interview Phil discusses many concepts that were introduced to him by Breau and we'll also get go "back in time" to hear a private lesson that Phil recorded in the early 1980's. Known for his use of a custom 7 string guitars "The Guitararp" with their unique fan fretted necks, Phil creates sonic textures of beautiful chord voicings and lyrical melodies laced with Breau's harmonic technique- at times so stunning that if the great Bill Evans were still alive, would probably cause him to stop and ask- “wow who the hell is that?” His sense of humor is always present in his playing, particularly on display with his short comedic satirical pieces he calls his "Public Service Announcements." Phil has 4 widely acclaimed solo records to his name- "Just Duet," "Innuendo Out the Other," "Hello Dali" and the recent "Mask and You Shall Deceive."  (An interesting side note, “Mask” was also edited and mixed by the legendary guitarist Jay Graydon of LA studio fame and also a fan of Phil's.)  Tune in to hear us talk about Phil's early years, studying with Hank Mackie, Ron Eschete and go into detail about Lenny Breau. Phil also demonstrates his pedals and effects and other techniques.  Recorded at Phil DeGruy's home, New Orleans, LA  Feb. 2019 and May 2019.

Jay Graydon is a paradox of sorts. His album Bebop was released in 2001 but don’t let the title fool you. Graydon loves jazz, though he’s not what most would consider a jazz guitarist and though revered by fellow musicians and players alike as a great guitarist (an in-demand LA studio musician featured on albums including Gino Vannelli and Christopher Cross), the instrument is less about his profession (he also plays keyboards) than it is one of the tools he uses to perfect his brand of music. Intro music: “Kickin’ It” by Jeff Lorber

Since 1992, Don Breithaupt has steered his band Monkey House on a path of musical progress. In 2012 when we first connected with Don, the band had just released their third album “Headquarters,” which caught the attention of all us here at Inside MusiCast – most notably how their songs contained a heavy melodic approach reminiscent of Steely Dan. The band’s latest album “Left,” which will be released on June 3, picks up where “Headquarters” left off and includes contributions from some incredibly talented guest musicians, including Elliott Randall, Drew Zingg, Michael Leonhart, Jay Graydon. Kim Mitchell, and Lucy Woodward. “Left” contains brilliantly crafted songs that may be the band’s finest collection to date. In fact, during our chat with Don today, you’ll hear the world premiere of a few songs from the album. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Don Breithaupt.

Growing up in Van Nuys, California, Marty Walsh hit his stride in music just as his dad, and brothers did - they were all naturals. With that said, it’s no surprise that Jay Graydon was the bass player in his brother Dan’s band. As it pans out, Jay soon encouraged Marty to study music in college and he took the advice. This led to a series of events that would have Walsh playing sessions with Graydon, Seals and Crofts and Yvonne Elliman. In the early ’80s, he found himself on the hits “9 to5” by Dolly Parton, “She Works Hard for the Money” by Donna Summer and “Heartlight” by Neil Diamond. In ‘85, he played guitar on Supertramps’ “Brother Where You Bound” and then toured with the band until1988, when they released “Free As A Bird.” He’s a veteran musician who still continues to gig and is faculty member at The Berklee College of Music in Boston – an impressive way to give back to new, emerging talent. And he recently released his debut solo CD titled “The Total Plan.” Inside MusiCast welcomes Marty Walsh.

On this episode, we bring you the West Coast sounds of the State Cows. The band, created by the Europe-based musical team of Daniel Anderson and Stefan Olofsson, doesn’t hide behind the fact that State Cows has been influenced by the many West Coast sounds that emerged in the 70s and 80s. In fact, they flaunt it on their new release called The Second One. After crossing paths with West Coast greats such as David Foster, Jay Graydon and others a few years back, the duo began to compose music that was always close to their hearts. The music has become an extension of their upbringing and influences throughout their lives. The simple truth is that there is a fresh purity of how they interpret West Coast music…and they keep it alive with the release of The Second One. Andersson and Olofsson have delivered a true AOR record that will find you listening to the whole album at one sitting. We should know, we’ve listened to it and it’s worth the investment. IMC is glad to welcome the dynamic team of the State Cows! Welcome Daniel and Stefan!

Guitarist/songwriter/producer Jay Graydon talks about his pedal board, his wire choir and his Grammy award winning deuces.

If you’ve listened to Don Henley’s End of the Innocence, Carole King’s Tapestry, Jackson Browne’s Running on Empty, Billy Joe’s River of Dreams, and most of James Taylors recordings, then you’re familiar with the musical influence of guitarist, composer, and producer Danny Kortchmer…or Kootch…as most in the business know him. From his collaborations with Peter Asher, of Peter and Gordon, to touring and playing sessions with Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel, and Craig Doerge, of the infamous “Section”, Danny has had a career that most would envy. As an accomplished singer-songwriter, he’s worked with people like David Foster, Jay Graydon, Ringo Starr, Bruce Hornsby, Steve Jordan, Pino Palladino, and Tamio Okuda, while producing for others or for his own solo projects. He’s also ready to embark on the 2010 Carole King / James Taylor World Tour called the TROUBADOUR TOUR…connecting once again to tour with his longtime friends of the Section. Inside MusiCast welcomes Danny Kortchmar.

One thing we know about West Coast Music is that its following is much, much bigger than the name implies. It’s more like Global-Coast Music, due to the fact that diehard fans are found at every corner of the globe. At the heart of it all you find a man who continues to stoke the fires of a sound that is a sophisticated mixture of R&B, Rock, Pop and Jazz – Grammy-winning Jay Graydon. His name is found in the credits of tracks and albums that have gone gold, platinum and even multi-platinum. With long-time collaborations with friends like David Foster, George Benson, Al Jarreau, and Steely Dan, Graydon has positioned himself as one of the most creative songwriters, producers, and session guitarists on the LA scene, while continuing to pave his own road with Nashville resident and writing partner, Randy Goodrum. They’re the brains behind JaR, a collaboration of two of the best musical heads in the industry who have released ‘Scene 29’, an album that any West Coast Music fan most certainly has in their audio collection. From Airplay For The Planet to Earth, Wind & Fire’s After The Love Has Gone, Graydon has delivered just what West Coast fans have asked for over the years. Inside MusiCast welcomes Jay Graydon.
