** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in WYGYFF Episode 16: Denver-based keyboardist, drummer, producer and composer DeShawn Alexander, leader of the group Watermelon Funk. Spending his childhood as a church organist and later attending the Berklee College of Music, his repertoire has spanned funk, hip hop, blues, jazz and rock. Artists he has worked or shared the stage with include Marcus King, Lettuce, Eric Krasno, Talib Kweli, Joe Louis Walker, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Robert Randolph.  Heavily inspired by Parliament-Funkadelic, and especially Bernie Worrell, since 2021 Watermelon Funk has released three fantastic albums, including 2024's Afrodesiac – which features Garrett Shider and was named among FUNKNSTUFF's Top 25 Funk & Rock Albums of the Year.  RECORDED DECEMBER 2024 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives. WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations. LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

Lady Bianca is an American electric blues singer, songwriter and arranger. Lady Bianca has worked as a session singer, depicted Billie Holiday on stage, and since 1995 released six solo albums, three of which were nominated for a Grammy Award. Born Bianca Thornton, in Kansas City, Missouri, her first exposure to music was through gospel, and she studied at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. Her first professional gig was with Quinn Harris and the Masterminds, when she was aged 17. Harris dubbed her 'Lady Bianca', and the combination contributed two tracks to a compilation album released by Reynolds Records in 1970. In 1972, she played the role of Billie Holiday in the San Francisco stage production of Jon Hendricks' Evolution of the Blues. In the mid 1970s, she worked in various clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area, where she met bass guitarist Henry Oden. They were subsequently married for 15 years. She then joined Sly and the Family Stone as backing vocalist and keyboard player, and appeared on their 1976 album, Heard Ya Missed Me, Well I'm Back. Starting in October the same year, she toured for one month with Frank Zappa in North America, and a recording of her singing "Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station" appeared in 1992 on You Can't Do That on Stage Anymore, Vol. 6. The complete concert of 29 October 1976 in The Spectrum, Philadelphia (with Lady Bianca singing on several tracks) was published on two CDs by the Zappa Family Trust in 2009, entitled Philly '76, on which she is credited as Bianca Odin. The release included the previously released version of "Wind Up Workin' in a Gas Station," as well as "Dirty Love" and "You Didn't Try To Call Me." She is also heard employing the technique of multi-phonics with her voice on a wordless solo in "Black Napkins." After November 11, she left the band because of conflicts with Zappa. When not touring, she performed locally in the recording studio, backing musicians such as Lee Oskar, Merle Haggard and Taj Mahal. In 1977, she co-founded the short-lived ensemble Vitamin E, and they released the commercially doomed Sharing album on Buddah Records. Lady Bianca then joined another group, Zingara, which was set up by Lamont Dozier in 1980. The trio included James Ingram, Wali Ali and Lady Bianca, but again, it did not have any lasting appeal. Between 1981 and 1986, Lady Bianca toured with and recorded backing vocals for Van Morrison, appearing on recordings such as Beautiful Vision (1982), Inarticulate Speech of the Heart (1983), Live at the Grand Opera House Belfast (1984), A Sense of Wonder (1985), and No Guru, No Method, No Teacher (1986). Lady Bianca also worked with John Lee Hooker and Willie Dixon. In 1984, she met Stanley Lippitt, a songwriter and her eventual husband. She continued to perform locally and undertook more low-key recording work. After recording demos with Lippitt, she was noticed by Joe Louis Walker who helped arrange a recording contract. Her debut solo album, Best Kept Secret was released in 1995 on Telarc Distribution. Her backing vocals work continued in the 1990s, when she worked with Frankie Lee and Maria Muldaur. Lady Bianca's next solo effort was the critically acclaimed Rollin' (2001), which was released on the Rooster Blues label. Bianca formed her own record label, Magic-O Records, and with Lippitt have their own production and publishing company. Further albums were recorded and issued on Magic-O. These included All by Myself (2004), Let Love Have Its Way (2005), Through a Woman's Eyes (2007), and A Woman Never Forgets (2009). In April 2007, at the Bay Area Black Music Awards, Lady Bianca was awarded as Best Blues Performer. In March 2008, she was voted into the West Coast Blues Society Hall of Fame. In 2009, she appeared with Van Morrison at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Lady Bianca and the Magic-O Rhythm Band have appeared at many blues music festivals, including the San Francisco Blues Festival in 1987,

Der Winter hat Deutschland fest im Griff und auch in der Bundesregierung herrscht eine eisige Atmosphäre: Wo sollen bloß die fehlenden Milliarden Euro für den Haushalt herkommen? Viel Zeit bleibt nicht mehr. Da hilft nur eins: Ein Besuch in der weihnachtlichen "Haushaltsbäckerei". Und wenn der Kanzler schon auf Bäcker macht, dann kann er den Job als Heizungssanitär auch gleich mit übernehmen. Den Titel als "Klempner der Macht" hat er laut Friedrich Merz ja bereits sicher. Wenn Scholz den Titel jetzt klug vermarktet, könnte das den Haushalt retten. Vergesst "Super Mario“ – jetzt kommt "Super Olaf"! Außerdem fragt Moderator Peter Stein: Wenn die deutschen U17-Fußballer so gut sind: Können wir die dann nicht auch bei der WM im nächsten Jahr antreten lassen? Exklusive Recherchen zeigen: Der DFB denkt schon über eine Kinderfußball-Nationalmannschaft nach, und die FIFA wittert ein großes Geschäft mit den Kleinen! Aus den Kinderschuhen ist Chat-GPT inzwischen raus, in diesen Tagen feiert die künstliche Intelligenz ihren ersten Geburtstag. Höchste Zeit sich den wichtigen Themen der Welt anzunehmen: Wie können wir den Klimawandel stoppen? Für eine Antwort auf diese Frage muss man nämlich gar nicht bis nach Dubai zur Weltklimakonferenz reisen.

What a blast it was to talk to Mark Mondesir. I've been a fan for many years and have always loved Mark's playing. In this conversation, we talk about a variety of subjects, including his time working with John McLaughlin, Courtney Pine, Jilian Joseph, and many others. ENJOY! Mark Mondesir was born in Stepney, London, on 12 December 1964. Mainly self taught, Mondesir attended various music workshops including Ian Carr's workshops at the Weekend Arts Centre. He began his professional career with Courtney Pine between 1985 and 1989 and recorded with Kevin Eubanks in 1991 & 1993 for the Blue Note label. In the 1990s he accompanied musicians who were visiting the UK; these included Art Farmer, Joanne Brackeen, Cecil Payne, Ronnie Matthews, James Williams, Hermeto Pascoal, Joe Zawinul, McCoy Tyner and John Scofield. Since the mid 90s he continues to play with Pee Wee Ellis... including a brief stint with James Brown's Bobby Byrd, Fred Wesley & Vicki Anderson early in that period. In the 1990s and early 2000s he was part of bands led by pianist Julian Joseph. From 2007 - 2010 he toured & recorded with John McLaughlin's Fourth Dimension Band including the Grammy nominated album To The One. He has also toured with Todd Sharpville with blues legends Joe Louis Walker & Duke Robillard, ex Deep Purple bassist/singer Glenn Hughes & later with Jethro Tull in 2009.

We hope you will consider showing your support through our Patreon page. This helps to keep the episodes coming. Thank you so much! https://www.patreon.com/theplayerswebcast I have been following Sergio Bellotti for many years. He is among the top perforners and educators in the music business. This interview goes deep into the topics of education (bringing out the best in your students and watching them evolve), professionalism, learning, performing, and much more. Watch, learn, and enjoy. There's GREAT education in this interview. Here's a bit more information about the rich and diverse career of Sergio Bellotti. Sergio Bellotti is an international artist and Renaissance man. As a powerful and tremendously gifted drummer, he's played with some of the world's finest musicians. As an educator, he's an in demand clinician as well as a professor at the esteemed Berklee College of Music. As an entrepreneur, he owns 247 Drums which caters to the needs of drummers everywhere. Hailing from Bari, Italy, Sergio's passion for music and accomplished drumming spurred him to move to Boston in 1995 to attend the Berklee College of Music. Shortly after arriving in the U.S., Sergio met his longtime musical partner, fellow Italian expatriate and bassist extraordinaire, Tino D'Agostino. Together they founded and continue to lead Spajazzy, a jazz fusion group, which has featured guitarist Mike Stern on both of their cd releases. Good company indeed. In addition to his professorship at Berklee, where students from all over the world come to study, Sergio serves as a visiting artist at the GM Drum School in Torino, Italy and as a faculty member at the Conservatorio Della Svizzera Italiana in Lugano, Switzerland. Sergio is the founder of the “Do You Speak Drumming?” program and often travels to Europe to conduct clinics, concerts and master classes. He is a drum artist for both Yamaha Acoustic and Electronic drums. Sergio has recorded or shared the stage with world class musicians such as Blues Hall of Fame and Grammy nominated Joe Louis Walker, Mike Stern, The Platters, The Drifters, Tom Scott, Nathan East, Robben Ford, Alessandra Belloni, Bernard Purdie and Rocco Ventrella to name but a few. He has performed at international festivals such as the Montreal Drum Fest, The Golden Jazz 2015 in China, Bari In Jazz 2010,Cape Breton International Drum Fest, Berklee World Percussion Festival and the PASIC and 5 consecutive KOSA festivals. Sergio has been based in Boston ever since arriving in 1995 and is still immersed in the city's lively music scene. He holds down the drum throne for his weekly gig with We Jazz Up. Their Tuesday night show at Slade's has become a time honored ritual and one never knows which talented musician might visit to sit in. In addition to being an artist, educator and clinician, Sergio ministers to the needs of drummers with his shop, 247 Drums. The major manufacturers of drum gear have recognized his talents, and besides Yamaha, Sergio is also an endorser for Remo drumheads, Sabian cymbals, Vic Firth drum sticks and the Vibe T5 Stick which he designed himself. Whether playing, recording, teaching or supplying drummers with gear, Sergio Bellotti is truly a renaissance man.
