Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Why do you like the music you do?  Is it as simple as “It's what I heard on the radio”? Or something deeper? People with elder siblings may be exposed to music earlier than first children.   Jeff had an older brother, so was exposed earlier to cool music - Beatles, Janis, Hendrix, and so on.  Mick was the eldest in his family and had to find his own taste. (No surprise considering what he listens to!) Were you bullied as a child?  Influence!  Did you share music with your friends?  Influence!  Did you have access to a good radio station?  Or print media?  Influence!! We talk about our early influences – musical & otherwise – and look at how they played a role in what we listen to today.    In Rock News, Ringo has released a country album, and Toto is touring.  Oh well, shouldn't take them long to play their 3 hits. You know Jeff's obsessed with AI, so he asked three AI brands to nominate the greatest albums of 1971.  Not much variation, really.  One day, we may ask them to understand quality, rather than sales figures, and see what they give us.    Our Album You Must Listen to Before you Die is “Blue” by Joni Mitchell - an top grade album that deserves to be here.  Mick references Atlantic Records' sampler called “Very Together” which featured “Carey” from this album, and pointed out a link between Joni Mitchell and Scottish hard rock band, Nazareth. How did YOUR tastes develop?  Drop us a line & let us know. Enjoy! References:  RAM Magazine, Rock Australia Magazine, Countdown, Molly Meldrum, 2DoubleJay, The Magus/Holger Brockman, Chris Winter, Mac Cocker, “Never Mind the Bollocks”, The Sex Pistols, The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, David Bowie, “Five Years”, “Room to Move”, Chris Winter, “Starman”, “Rock'n'roll Suicide”, Birdland, Weather Report, Joe Zawinul, Brian Eno, “Another Green World”, “Zawinul Lava”, “Rock'n'Roll Animal”, Lou Reed, Steve Hunter, “Sweet Jane”, “Heroin”, “Rock'n'Roll”, Berlin, Alice Cooper, Velvet Underground, Peter Gabriel, “Car”, “Stranded”, Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, “Song for Europe”, “Street Life”, “Psalm”, Sisters of Mercy, XTC, Nico, REM, Television, Patti Smith, “Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band”, The Beatles, "Within You Without You”, “Tomorrow Never Knows”, Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits, Like a Rolling Stone”, Revolver, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Simon and Garfunkel, Pearl, Janis Joplin, Tapestry, Carole King, Slade Alive, Hot August Nigh”, “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road”, “Dark Side of the Moon”, “Led Zeppelin IV”, “Silk Degrees”, Box Scaggs, “Journey to the Centre of the Earth”, Rick Wakeman, “Woodstock”, “Monterey Pop”, “The Song Remains the Same”, “The Last Waltz”, The Guitar Spa, Redeye Records, John Foy, bootleg records, “His Master's Voice”, “Sheetkeeckers”, Australian electronica/dance music store, Hipgnosis, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel, Regurgitator, “I like your old stuff better than your new stuff", DeepSeek, ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Blue, Joni Mitchell, Henry Lewy, “Very Together”, “This Flight Tonight”, Nazareth  Episode Playlist  The first song played by 2DoubleJay - “You Just Like Me ‘Cos I'm Good in Bed”

Brilliant drummer and percussionist talks about growing up learning music from his father and five brothers, joining Perez Prado in Las Vegas in 1964 and his relationship with Joe Zawinul in Weather Report and beyond. All Timer...

The record store day madness continues as the boys take two Cannonball Adderley air-shots from France for a spin.  Whether he's Poppin in Paris or Burning in Bordeaux, the listener can hear Adderley's group transitioning from the sixties to the seventies, even if things get bumpy from time to time.  To put the great alto saxophone player's creativity into context, two of his more surprising releases on Capitol Records also get a look in.  Once you've heard the man's stone classics, here's something else for you to try.  Cannonball Adderley:  ACCENT ON AFRICA; QUINTET WITH ORCHESTRA; BURNIN' IN BOURDEAUX; POPPIN' IN PARIS.

Miles Davis (May 26, 1926 - Sept 28, 1991) unabashedly said that he revolutionized jazz music several times over his career. While an argument could be made for that statement, it is undeniable that the many musicians who passed through his bands over the years have definitely revolutionized the music.   The list is long, virtually every musician who passed through Miles' many bands has had a lasting impact on the music, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Hank Mobley, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Joe Zawinul and the list goes on! Throughout his long career Miles retained his lyrical, introspective approach to soloing, regardless of the musicians he surrounded himself with.

Bienvenidos amantes de la música a un nuevo episodio, dedicado esta vez a un álbum con historia, fanáticos y reconocimientos. Es el disco "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" de Cannonball Adderley Quintet, una grabación en vivo de 1966 considerado un éxito del Soul Jazz, precedente del Funk que llegaría en los 70s, de hecho la pieza que da nombre al disco es una composición del tecladista austriaco, Joe Zawinul, el mismo que conocemos por la banda de Jazz Rock, Weather Report. La música Cool y el Bebop más refinado disgustaba a algunos músicos de Jazz más apegados al Blues que preferían un estilo más caliente y directo. Es el caso del quinteto de Adderley a quien escucharemos en una conexión total con el público que participa con entusiasmo de la grabación y son un protagonista más de este álbum. Esperamos que lo disfruten, tanto como nosotros. Los temas son: 1. Sticks. 2. Mercy, Mercy, Mercy. 3. Sack O' Woe. *Suscríbete a nuestro canal.

In this episode of Small Business Origins, host John Kelley interviews Rick DellaRatta, founder of Jazz for Peace, a nonprofit organization that uses jazz events to raise funds and awareness for other outstanding causes around the world. Rick shares how his lifelong passion for music led him to realize the power of jazz to bring people together across boundaries. On September 11, 2001, witnessing the attacks inspired Rick to found Jazz for Peace. He discusses how the organization works with small community causes to organize jazz events that support their fundraising and outreach goals. Main Discussion Points:- Rick's early years growing up in a musical family and starting piano lessons- Studying jazz and traveling as a musician around the U.S. and internationally - Seeing music's ability to connect with people regardless of background - Being inspired on 9/11 to use jazz to help outstanding causes and bring more peace- How Jazz for Peace partners with small local causes to organize custom jazz events- Raising money, awareness, supporters for community organizations in need Guest Bio: Rick DellaRatta is now considered by many to be one of the finest Singer/Pianists performing today and one of only a handful of Jazz Artists who can make a successful musical presentation to a large audience without having to abandon the true art form of Jazz. Through his life long endeavor to help advance people to their highest potential through the understanding of Jazz as well as spreading peace worldwide through his "Jazz for Peace World Tour", Rick DellaRatta is considered to be an innovator and a visionary.His unique and original piano playing and composing has been compared in print to Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, Joe Zawinul, Horace Silver, Oscar Peterson and Thelonious Monk while his signature vocal sound and style has been likened to Chet Baker, Billie Holiday, Joao Gilberto, Ivan Lins, Michael Franks and Antonio Carlos Jobim.Dr. Billy Taylor put Ricks impact in perspective when commenting on Ricks "Thought Provoking CD - he said: "Rick DellaRatta is one of the people who is taking Jazz to the next level".Company Bio:Jazz for Peace is a volunteer-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Rick DellaRatta in New York City in 2002.

Engage to support our work.Devin: what do you see as your superpower?Rick: Now, my superpower, because I've learned so much from these outstanding causes and from these amazing people I've met along the way… people are asking me if I might know the solution to something, so you can ask me anything. Now, I have a whole bunch of actual solutions to actual problems.In today's episode of "Superpowers for Good," I had the pleasure of speaking with Rick DellaRatta, the visionary founder of Jazz for Peace. Rick's insights into the power of music as a universal language for fostering peace and unity struck a deep chord with me and, I believe, with our listeners as well.Rick poetically expressed how "Jazz for Peace, coming through the trees, fills my heart like a celebration." This imagery captures the essence of what Rick has achieved through his work—using the universal appeal of jazz music to bridge divides, inspire hope, and foster a deeper connection among people, irrespective of their backgrounds.During our conversation, Rick recounted an incredibly moving experience in Ghana, where he performed for individuals who had never been exposed to jazz music before. His reflections on their genuine, unfiltered reactions to the music underscored the universal language of jazz. "It's funny because there's a video of it... and you can hear the people reacting to the music at certain points. They would start clapping and make sounds as it affected them, and they would just emote that it was affecting them," Rick shared.This experience in Ghana highlights the raw power of music to transcend cultural and linguistic barriers, offering a glimpse into the potential of the arts to build bridges and foster understanding. Rick's commitment to using his art to "espouse, so to speak, for who you are as a person, your growth as a human being, and what it means to you to make a difference for others" is a testament to the transformative potential of integrating one's passions with a purpose greater than oneself.Rick's journey with Jazz for Peace is a beacon of hope, showing us how the arts can be a powerful catalyst for positive change. As we continue to navigate a world rife with challenges, Rick's work serves as a poignant reminder of the beauty that can arise when creativity, humanity, and a commitment to peace converge.AI Episode Summary1.

People can learn more about Jazz for Peace and connect with Rick through the generic email address info@jazzforpeace.org, and his work focuses on empowerment grants and growing an "empowerment tree."How to Develop Transformative Solutions As a SuperpowerRick DellaRatta's superpower can be encapsulated in the phrase "transformative solutions."Rick's superpower lies in his ability to perceive adversity as an opportunity for improvement, a perspective that enables him to turn challenges into positive outcomes. Initially, this manifested in his talent for "making lemonade out of lemons" when aiding outstanding causes. Over time, this evolved into Rick possessing actionable solutions to significant global problems, garnered from his experiences and the wisdom shared by the numerous exceptional individuals and causes he's encountered.An illustrative story from the interview is Rick's account of bringing together Israeli, Palestinian, and American musicians in 2002 at the United Nations. This endeavor was part of his ongoing effort to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a commitment that has won him over a million impressions on LinkedIn from people interested in his solution to this longstanding issue. This story exemplifies how Rick uses his superpower to foster peace and understanding through music and dialogue.To develop a superpower akin to Rick's, one might embrace humanity, creativity, artistry, and intellectuality, thereby allowing the "cream to rise to the top." By bringing out the best in oneself, one can inspire others, finding common ground even in the most challenging situations. Music, or any universal language of peace, can be a vehicle for creating positive communication and understanding.By following Rick DellaRatta's example and advice, you can make transformative solutions a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileRick DellaRatta (he/him):Founder, Jazz for Peace™About Jazz for Peace™: Jazz for Peace™ provides Empowerment Grants, sustainable funding and advocacy for non-profits and all outstanding causes worldwide for over two decades to enable them to be more productive and successful.Website:  jazzforpeace.org X/Twitter Handle: @jazzmgmt Company Facebook Page: fb.com/JazzforPeaceGrant/Biographical Information: Rick DellaRatta is now considered by many to be one of the finest Singer/Pianists performing today and one of only a handful of Jazz Artists who can make a successful musical presentation to a large audience without having to abandon the true art form of Jazz.

La #SessionLive reçoit Ma Sané, Luna Silva et le souk sonique de Martin Meissonnier. Rares Talents 2024, 13è édition, du 26 mars au 13 avril 2024.Créée en 2008 par feu le charismatique musicien Hilaire Penda, l'association des Rares Talents réunit un collectif d'artistes et de professionnels du milieu de la culture, tous bénévoles. L'association incarne l'esprit et les valeurs généreuses de Montreuil, territoire accueillant où les cultures s'entremêlent et s'enrichissent mutuellement. Au carrefour des musiques venues d'Afrique et d'Orient, de pratiques musicales professionnelles et amateures qui vont du jazz aux musiques urbaines en passant par la folk, les musiques qui groovent et les fusions les plus folles, Montreuil est un vivier artistique, culturel et social unique. Le festival Rares Talents, dont la première édition s'est tenue en 2011 sous la houlette et la direction artistique d'Hilaire Penda, entend chaque année refléter pour partie cette réalité dans la construction de sa programmation et poursuit l'ambition de son fondateur : · D'offrir aux musiciens émergents comme aux musiciens renommés, d'ici et d'ailleurs, un cadre d'expression et d'exposition de haut niveau, un environnement propice aux rencontres et aux créations artistiques. · D'offrir aux publics de Montreuil, de Seine-Saint-Denis et de la capitale des soirées musicales (concerts, dj sets… ) et des événements associés divers, excitants et enrichissants.Notre 1ère invitée est l'artiste sénégalaise Ma Sané.Née à Thiès au Sénégal, Ma Sané croise dès son adolescence la route de Waflash, une bande de copains de quartier réunis autour de leur passion, la musique. Le public sénégalais découvre alors début 1990 leurs compositions mêlant le mbalax (musique sénégalaise populaire), l'afro-beat, le bougarabou (rythmes diolas) et le funk. Ma Sané et le Waflash tournent alors des dizaines de clips vidéos (« Sincérité » sera un énorme succès), se produisent en Afrique et en Amérique. En 2018, elle est invitée par l'opéra de Palerme à incarner Bintou Were, l'héroïne de « l'opéra du Sahel » composé par le musicien sénégalais Wasis Diop. Dans ce « cabaret des flagrants délires » repris au Théâtre de la Manufacture de Nancy, elle est comédienne, compositrice et directrice musicale. Désormais en solo et en France, l'artiste sort en 2023 son nouvel album MAMA ESSAMAÏ – La Mère Guerrière – dans lequel elle nous fait découvrir son univers jazz et dansant entre afro-folk et rythmes du bougarabou. Notre 2ème invitée est Luna Silva.Façonnée par ses nombreux voyages et par l'univers circassien dans lequel elle a grandi, Luna Silva mêle sa voix rayonnante et colorée aux sons de son ukulélé, de la contrebasse, de la guitare et des percussions. Le résultat est une musique métissée qui fait écho et résonne au-delà des frontières, alliant des tendances de musiques actuelles aux musiques du monde. Pour Luna Silva, la chanteuse émouvante et l'enfant de la balle, la scène est le théâtre d'une célébration heureuse, qu'elle prépare avec soin. Au sol, un tapis amoureusement tissé dans une contrée lointaine, au-dessus, de joyeuses guirlandes, elle avance, vêtue d'une robe aux couleurs éclatantes, une fleur plantée dans les cheveux en un geste cérémonial précédant le partage généreux de ses chants aux mille pigments. Notre 3ème invité est Martin Meissonnier, pour son nouveau projet avec Aziz Sahmaoui.Aziz Sahmaoui est un des co-fondateurs de l'Orchestre National de Barbès, il a longtemps accompagné le claviériste autrichien Joe Zawinul, jusqu'à sa mort en 2007. En 2010, il forme « University of Gnawa » son propre groupe avec 3 musiciens sénégalais : Alune Wade (basse) Cheikh Diallo (claviers et kora) et Hervé Samb (guitare). Le groupe prend ce nom en hommage aux rythmes de guérison des Gnawa du Maroc. Il tisse ainsi des liens entre son pays et l'Afrique Noire traditionnelle. En novembre 2023, il crée un nouveau groupe électro avec ses compagnons de route Martin Meissonnier (qui a déjà réalisé deux albums d'University of Gnawa), Adhil Mirghani (percussions pour l'University of Gnawa) et Baptiste Ferré (claviers de l'ONB) pour célébrer les musiques de transe du Maghreb. Martin Meissonnier est compositeur, producteur et réalisateur et travaille avec les instruments électroniques depuis le début des années 1980. Il a collaboré avec de nombreux artistes comme King Sunny Ade, Papa Wemba, Khaled, Amina, Yasuaki Shimizu, Haruomi Hosono et beaucoup d'autres… En 2024, il rallume 4 de ses synthés analogiques et ressort sa guitare électrique pour accompagner Aziz. Titres interprétés au grand studio- Reccuna Live RFI Ma Sané- Pajaro Live RFI Luna Silva voir le clip- Mokido, extrait de l'album Siba Sawt-System d'Aziz Konkrite, choix Martin Meissonnier- Mimouna (Traditionnel; arrangement A.

Le résultat est une musique métissée qui fait écho et résonne au-delà des frontières, alliant des tendances de musiques actuelles aux musiques du monde. Pour Luna Silva, la chanteuse émouvante et l'enfant de la balle, la scène est le théâtre d'une célébration heureuse, qu'elle prépare avec soin. Au sol, un tapis amoureusement tissé dans une contrée lointaine, au-dessus, de joyeuses guirlandes, elle avance, vêtue d'une robe aux couleurs éclatantes, une fleur plantée dans les cheveux en un geste cérémonial précédant le partage généreux de ses chants aux mille pigments. Notre 3ème invité est Martin Meissonnier, pour son nouveau projet avec Aziz Sahmaoui.Aziz Sahmaoui est un des co-fondateurs de l'Orchestre National de Barbès, il a longtemps accompagné le claviériste autrichien Joe Zawinul, jusqu'à sa mort en 2007. En 2010, il forme « University of Gnawa » son propre groupe avec 3 musiciens sénégalais : Alune Wade (basse) Cheikh Diallo (claviers et kora) et Hervé Samb (guitare). Le groupe prend ce nom en hommage aux rythmes de guérison des Gnawa du Maroc. Il tisse ainsi des liens entre son pays et l'Afrique Noire traditionnelle. En novembre 2023, il crée un nouveau groupe électro avec ses compagnons de route Martin Meissonnier (qui a déjà réalisé deux albums d'University of Gnawa), Adhil Mirghani (percussions pour l'University of Gnawa) et Baptiste Ferré (claviers de l'ONB) pour célébrer les musiques de transe du Maghreb. Martin Meissonnier est compositeur, producteur et réalisateur et travaille avec les instruments électroniques depuis le début des années 1980. Il a collaboré avec de nombreux artistes comme King Sunny Ade, Papa Wemba, Khaled, Amina, Yasuaki Shimizu, Haruomi Hosono et beaucoup d'autres… En 2024, il rallume 4 de ses synthés analogiques et ressort sa guitare électrique pour accompagner Aziz. Titres interprétés au grand studio- Reccuna Live RFI Ma Sané- Pajaro Live RFI Luna Silva voir le clip- Mokido, extrait de l'album Siba Sawt-System d'Aziz Konkrite, choix Martin Meissonnier- Mimouna (Traditionnel; arrangement A.

Playlist   Track Time Start Time Opening and Introduction (Thom Holmes) 11:57 00:00 1.    Herbie Hancock, Herbie Hancock Demonstrates The Rhodes Piano (1973 Rhodes). A terrific flexi-disc produced by Rhodes and narrated by Hancock who tells an interesting story about his first encounter with the instrument on a Miles Davis session and then he walks the keyboard through a series of effects. He speaks with the authority of a proud electronics tinkerer who understands the nuances that make this instrument so beloved by jazz musicians. This flexi-disc was originally delivered in the November 8, 1973 issue of Down Beat magazine. I provide both sides of the disc, in entirety. Tunes included during the demonstration include parts of Watermelon Man, Maiden Voyage, and The Spook. Soloist, Rhodes Electric Piano, Voice, Herbie Hancock. I thought it would be wisest to lead off this podcast with an overview of the Rhodes even though it is out of chronological sequence, being from 1973. We then go back a few years to hear tracks in proper time order. 12:48 11:57 2.    The Don Ellis Orchestra, “Open Beauty” from Electric Bath (1967 Columbia). Alto Saxophone, Flute, Soprano Saxophone, Joe Roccisano, Ruben Leon; Baritone Saxophone, Flute, Bass Clarinet, John Magruder; Bass, Dave Parlato, Frank De La Rosa; Bass, Sitar, Ray Neapolitan; Congas, Bongos, Chino Valdes; Drums, Steve Bohannon; Leader, Trumpet, Don Ellis; Percussion, Alan Estes; Piano, Clavinet, Fender Electric Piano Fender, Mike Lang; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Ron Starr; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo Flute, Clarinet, Ira Schulman; Timbales, Vibraphone, Percussion , Mark Stevens; Trombone, Dave Sanchez, Ron Myers, Terry Woodson; Trumpet, Alan Weight, Bob Harmon, Ed Warren, Glenn Stuart. 5:33 24:44 3.    Miles Davis, “Stuff” from Miles In The Sky (1968 Columbia). I think this was Miles' first album recorded using the Fender Rhodes, played by Herbie Hancock. See the opening tracks from this podcast for a story about this session from Hancock. Bass, Ron Carter; Drums, Tony Williams; Piano, Fender Electric Piano, Herbie Hancock; Tenor Saxophone, Wayne Shorter; Trumpet, Miles Davis. 16:59 30:14 4.    Joe Zawinul, “The Soul Of A Village (Part II)” from The Rise & Fall Of The Third Stream (1968 Vortex).

Arranged by Oliver Nelson; Rock-Si-Chord, piano, Steve Allen; Drums, Jimmy Gordon; session musicians, Barney Kessel, Bobby Bryant, Larry Bunker, Roger Kellaway, Tom Scott; Produced by Bob Thiele. 2:30 51:24 6.    J & K “Mojave” from Betwixt & Between (1969 A&M, CTI). “J” is J.J. Johnson (trombonist) and “K” is Kai Winding (trombonist). Their ensemble included Roger Kellaway playing the electric clavinette. An example of using the clavinet in jazz. This was most likely a Hohner Clavinet Model C which had just been introduced in 1968. Recorded at Van Gelder Studios during late 1968. 2:31 53:54 7.    Albert Ayler, “New Generation” from New Grass (1969 Impulse). An electric harpsichord played by Call Cobbs adds some subtle comping to this buoyant tune written by Ayler, Mary Parks, Rose Marie McCoy.

You can hear Sun Ra enticing other-worldly sounds from a Farfisa organ beginning at about 1:35. Recorded in 1970. Of the many electronic keyboards heard elsewhere on this album (and occasionally on this track), here the Farfisa is heard the most.

Recorded at Ballon Theater, Cairo, Egypt December 17, 1971. Sun Ra playing several electronic keyboards in turn, the organ, Minimoog, and Rock-si-Chord. What I hear is some organ (Farfisa?) in the opening, then Sun Ra turns to a wild exchange between the Minimoog (monophonic) and Rock-Si-chord (polyphonic) during the second half of the track. Alto Saxophone, Congas, Larry Northington; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Danny Davis, Hakim Rahim; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Oboe, Marshall Allen; Baritone Saxophone, Pat Patrick; Baritone Saxophone, Flute, Danny Thompson; Bass Clarinet, Elo Omoe; Composed By, Arranged By, Piano, Organ, Minimoog, Rock-Si-Chord, Sun Ra; Engineer Recording Engineer, Tam Fiofori; Percussion, Lex Humphries, Tommy Hunter; Photography By, Sam Bankhead; Photography Liner Photo, Mike Evans; Producer, Infinity Inc.

The great jazz funk flutist Bobbi Humphrey released a series of albums around this time that often-featured fantastic synthesizer players. Here you can pick out the Minimoog by Don Preston and the ARP (Odyssey?) by Larry Mizell. The synths included here are in contrast to the more experimental sounds that Herbie Hancock was issuing at the same time. Flute, Vocals, Bobbi Humphrey; ARP Synthesizer, Larry Mizell; Minimoog, Don Preston; Bass, Chuck Rainey; Congas, King Errison; Drums, Harvey Mason; Electric Piano Fender Rhodes, Fonce Mizell, Larry Mizell; Guitar, John Rowin, Melvin "Wah Wah" Ragin; Percussion, Roger Sainte, Stephany Spruill; Piano, Jerry Peters; Produced by Chuck Davis, Larry Mizell; Trumpet, Fonce Mizell. 6:39 2:06:19 20.Ramsey Lewis, “Jungle Strut” from Sun Goddess (1974 Columbia).

Lewis. 2:52 2:17:32 22.Clark Ferguson, “Jazz Flute” from RMI Harmonic Synthesizer And Keyboard Computer (1974 Rocky Mount Instruments, Inc.). Not an instrument often used in jazz, so I turn to the company's demonstration album for a sample of this more advanced in the RMI keyboard family. RMI Harmonic Synthesizer, Clark Ferguson. 2:43 2:20:24 23.  Fernando Gelbard, “Sombrero De Flores” from Didi (1974 Discos Redonde).

Producer, Engineer, Piano, Electric Piano, Moog, Oberheim, and the Freeman string synthesizer; digital sequencer, Drums, Percussion, Composed by, Jan Hammer. 4:29 2:32:26 26.Larry Young's Fuel, “Moonwalk” from Spaceball (1976 Arista).

Ballaké Sissoko, Vincent Segal, Emile Parisien et Vincent Peirani sortent un album commun : Les Égarés. Entretien avec Vincent Segal et Vincent Peirani. Puis la #SessionLive s'adonnera à du groove afro-caribéen made in France !   Une kora, un violoncelle, un saxophone et un accordéon. Nous recevons 2 des 4 musiciens Vincent Segal et Vincent Peirani. Les Égarés est plus qu'un disque. C'est un espace de jeu, un lieu de vie musical, un asile poétique habité par deux binômes qui, depuis des années, excellent dans l'art de croiser les sons et de transcender les genres : Ballaké Sissoko (kora) et Vincent Segal (violoncelle) d'un côté, Vincent Peirani (accordéon) et Émile Parisien (saxophone) de l'autre. Avec ces magiciens-là, 2+2 ne fait plus 4, mais 1. Car c'est bien une unité d'esprit et une fluidité du son qu'inventent ensemble ces individualités bien trempées, méprisant toute compétition d'ego pour se mettre au service du bien musical commun. Ni jazz ni traditionnel, ni chambriste ni avant-gardiste, mais un peu de tout cela à la fois, Les Égarés est cet album où l'oreille est l'instrument-roi, où la virtuosité s'exprime dans l'art d'être complice, où le simple et grandiose désir d'écouter l'autre aboutit à la naissance d'un splendide chant à quatre voix. Tout part d'une rencontre au sommet – en haut d'une colline qui surplombe Lyon. Ce soir de juin 2019, dans le cadre du festival Les Nuits de Fourvière, on s'apprête à célébrer les quinze ans du label NØ FØRMAT, dans un bel écrin de pierres romaines à ciel ouvert. Pour l'occasion, Vincent Segal est le maître de cérémonie et tient salon (de musique), entouré de convives de choix : parmi eux figurent déjà Ballaké Sissoko, Vincent Peirani et Émile Parisien. Entre les participants, un pacte a été signé : aucune répétition ne doit précéder ce qui s'annonce comme un moment de création spontanée. Mais comment réfréner de tels inspirés, animés par le désir de converser en musique ? L'après-midi, sous une tonnelle qui les protège du cagnard, les voilà qui, pour la seule beauté du geste et la grandeur du plaisir, se mettent à jammer. Et la musique, alors, coule comme source, limpide et fraîche. C'est dans le souvenir de ce jaillissement qu'a germé l'idée de composer le quatuor des Égarés. Et c'est à cela qu'aura ressemblé l'enregistrement de l'album : un partage spontané des élans et des savoirs. Il n'y a qu'une promesse que ce disque n'a pas pu exaucer : celle, caressée un temps par Vincent Segal, d'enregistrer à Bamako chez son complice Ballaké, comme au temps de leur divin album Chamber Music. L'extrême tension qui règne au Mali a eu raison de ce rêve, et c'est finalement à Gap que, une semaine durant, les quatre musiciens ont installé leur atelier de création. Dehors, la météo était très instable. Dans le studio, elle a été au grand beau, tout de suite. Mais ce n'était pas le beau fixe pour autant : dès les premiers échanges, tout s'est mis en mouvement et en vibration. Normal : aucun de ces quatre affranchis n'aime être emprisonné – que ce soit dans un rôle ou dans un type de jeu ou de son auquel son instrument serait condamné. Dans sa besace, chacun a apporté une poignée de diamants bruts, qu'il a soumis au groupe. À l'épreuve du feu commun, dans le creuset naturel du live acoustique, ces gemmes ont pris forme neuve, se sont sublimés : ils ont très vite fourni la matière d'un authentique butin collectif. De l'or musical, fondu dans un singulier alliage de timbres, de touchers, de souffles et de phrasés, dont le motif à l'unisson qui ouvre l'album donne d'emblée la formule de base alchimique.Il y a ainsi Ta Nye et Banja, merveilles mandingues qui sont comme les bornes de départ et d'arrivée de la route tracée parcourue par Les Égarés : deux thèmes de kora que les contrechants et reprises des autres instruments enrobent et déplacent insensiblement, avec cet engagement dans la douceur, ce souci d'accompagner au plus juste qui est l'apanage des musiciens d'expérience – écoutez donc l'introduction follement aérienne que signe Émile Parisien sur Banja. Un parfum d'Arménie enrobe les premières mesures d'Izao, pièce qui glisse vers la Transylvanie via la Turquie, et semble orchestrer par endroits de troublantes noces entre kora et Bartok. Soutenu par une basse lancinante, Amenhotep enclenche une lente mais sûre spirale ascensionnelle, transe coltranienne que soulèvent les souffles croisés de l'accordéon et du sax. Autour du thème de Dou, les quatre hommes prennent le relais comme s'il s'agissait de garder un feu, d'entretenir la mémoire d'un blues ancestral en lui donnant l'enivrant balancement d'une berceuse. Tout en majesté et en mystère, Nomad's Sky s'ouvre comme une plante aux fragrances capiteuses, trouvant de quoi étourdir durablement les sens dans la nervure obstinée de la basse, jouée au cello, et le déploiement progressif des motifs instrumentaux. La Chanson des égarés déroule quant à elle une de ces mélodies irrésistiblement cadencées qu'on se fredonne intérieurement quand, comme Vincent Segal, « on marche sans savoir où l'on va, en se laissant aller au plaisir d'être paumé » – plaisir qui, à lui seul, résume la philosophie du disque. Les thèmes empruntés à des sources extérieures sont pareillement transcendés. Esperanza, standard de l'accordéoniste Marc Perrone, sonne comme une cumbia à la fois alerte et douce, sa mélodie qui passe de main en main tissant une étoffe que l'auditeur porte à même le cœur. Dans Time Bum, tiré du répertoire de Bumcello, c'est l'illusion d'entendre un combo de cuivres qui prend corps, big band au groove ultra-serré que la basse au cello ne fait que renforcer. Dans Orient Express, reprise haletante tiré du grand-œuvre de Joe Zawinul, immense dresseur de ponts entre Europe, Afrique et Orient, le quatuor, sans recours à l'électricité ni à un feu roulant de percussions, réussit à conserver l'ADN de l'original tout en recomposant totalement ses tissus, sa force vitale, son groove infectieux. Sans la moindre démonstration, les quatre complices réalisent ainsi toute une série de prouesses qui ne sont jamais affichées comme telles. Les Égarés est ce disque sans voix soliste qui, pourtant, ne cesse jamais de chanter. Ce disque sans batterie ni percussions qui, pourtant, ne cesse jamais de faire entendre une très humaine et très sensible pulsation. Ce disque aux échanges si harmonieux que, par séquences, l'oreille, saisie par quelques illusions auditives (n'y aurait-il pas ici un balafon, et là un harmonium ?), en arrive elle-même à se perdre voluptueusement, à ne plus distinguer qui fait quoi dans l'intime entrelacement des voix. Ce disque qui, tout en repoussant la banalité, ne cesse d'embrasser l'évidence, dans un art du décadrage amoureux et de la dérive volontaire dont l'élégance audacieuse renvoie à d'autres grands égarés comme Don Cherry ou encore les musiciens sans matricule du Penguin Cafe Orchestra. « Je n'ai jamais enregistré un disque dans une telle atmosphère, souligne Vincent Peirani. Aucun de nous n'a été dans la “perf”, si bien que la musique raconte beaucoup de choses sans jamais se la raconter. Aucun d'entre nous ne détenait la vérité : nous la trouvions ensemble. » Au passage, Les Égarés rappelle tout ce que l'esprit de concorde peut avoir de frondeur, et combien l'art de jouer en si belle intelligence peut engendrer une manière extrêmement subtile de mettre le feu aux poudres. Contrairement à une idée reçue un peu pénible, vivre en harmonie ne signifie pas s'astreindre fatalement à des compromis pénibles, consensus mous et autres lénifiantes routines : quand elle le veut, la paix déménage. Et avec ces quatre-là, elle le veut bien, elle le veut tout le temps. Dans Les Égarés, elle soulève même des montagnes, recomposant le paysage musical pour tirer des lignes de fuite d'une beauté inouïe.Titres joués- Izao, La chanson des égarés, Time Bum et Banja voir le clip. - Voir le clip Esperanza.► album Les Egarés  (No Format 2023).Concert France 2023 à venir12 juillet - Les Suds à Arles.Puis nous recevons le groupe Abajàde dans la #SessionLive pour présenter l'album « Latopa », voir le clip.Latopa déploie toute l'étendue d'un groove mystique élaboré entre les rues de La Havane et les clubs de Paris. En colorant les chants yoruba dédiés aux orishas des univers musicaux de ce tout nouveau collectif, Àbájade apporte ses touches de soul et de jazz pour un son original construit à huit. Un premier album éclatant ! L'album se nomme Latopa car il est dédié à l'orisha Elegua qui ouvre les chemins dans la tradition afro-cubaine de la Santeria. Divinité des carrefours, nous le sentons emblématique de notre musique par la diversité des routes musicales qui se croisent dans ce disque.  Il comprend 7 titres, mélangeant compositions originales et arrangements inédits sauce Àbájade pour une durée totale de 36 minutes. Pour être au plus proche de notre énergie sur scène et restituer l'aspect organique de notre musique, tout a été enregistré en live. Nous voulions également un son chaleureux et un peu vintage comme sur les mythiques albums des années 70. L'enregistrement, le mixage et le mastering ont été réalisés sur bande analogique avec des micros d'époque.  Le disque s'accompagne d'un univers graphique conçu par le street artist Gilbert Mazout, qui a réalisé une grande fresque murale au coeur du clip et de la pochette.  Après avoir exploré la musique du saxophoniste Miguel Zenon dans notre premier EP, nous tombons par hasard sur le disque Méta Méta du groupe anglais Timeline. C'est une révélation pour nous, car, à travers des arrangements aux grooves léchés, parvient à nos oreilles une musique qui ne nous quittera plus depuis : les chants sacrés de la santeria cubaine. Nous sommes immédiatement séduits par la beauté des mélodies, les polyrythmies des tambours batá qui les accompagnent et la dimension spirituelle des orishas.  Nous commençons à intégrer ces éléments à notre répertoire, et quelques mois plus tard nous voilà à Cuba pour participer aux cérémonies dont nous jouons la musique. Un nouveau chapitre s'ouvre alors pour nous, au rythme des aller-retours à la Havane. À travers les rites quotidiens, l'ambiance électrique des tambours et les rumbas dans la rue se nouent des liens d'amitié avec les musicien.ne.s qui font vivre les traditions afro-cubaines aujourd'hui.  C'est l'atmosphère spirituelle, l'inventivité rythmique et l'énergie intense des cérémonies que nous avons pu vivre à Cuba qu'il nous tenait à cœur de retranscrire de manière personnelle et originale. En 2022, 3 résidences de création en partenariat avec des salles de spectacles nous ont permis d'élaborer notre nouveau répertoire. Nous l'avons rôdé sur scène avec un bon paquet de concerts en Ile-de-France et en Provence, durant lesquels nous avons exploré nos compositions, toujours prêt.es à improviser ensemble de nouveaux virages. Nous avons aussi invité des musiciens incroyables, comme le percussionniste cubain Barbarito « Machito » Crespo. Notre premier album trouve un bel écho avec des dates à venir au festival Jazz à Vienne, à la Flèche d'Or, au Tamanoir, à la Dynamo... et une release party au Studio de l'Ermitage à Paris.  Titres interprétés au grand studio- Peze Café Live RFI- Lalubanche, extrait de l'album Latopa  - Obatala Live RFI.Line Up : Thomas Celnik, direction artistique, claviers & percussions ; Julien Catherine, batterie & percussions ; Cyprien Corgier, chant lead & percussions ; Syrielle Guignard, chant & percussions ; Waly Loume, multi percussions ; Hamza Touré, saxophone ténor, flûte & clarinette basse ; Antonin Pauquet, basse ; Sophye Soliveau, chant lead.Son : Benoît Letirant & Matthias Taylor.► album Latopa (InOuïe Distribution 2023). Concerts à venir- Mai 2023, à La Dynamo-Pantin- 7 juillet, Jazz à Vienne.(Rediffusion).

Interview with L.A. based master keyboardist SCOTT KINSEY about his long-time association and friendship to legendary jazz icon Joe Zawinul.

In this episode we celebrate the incredible musical legacy of saxophonist, composer and bandleader Wayne Shorter, born August 25, 1933 in Newark New Jersey and passed away March 2, 2023. My special guest is Alex Acuña, a prolific drummer, percussionist, composer, and bandleader who has amassed more 900 recording credits. (its probably more now) After touring with Perez Prado during the 1960s and playing with Elvis Presley in Las Vegas in the early '70s -  In 1974, Acuña and his family moved to Las Vegas. He continued working with Prado's show band, and played for Elvis Presley's Las Vegas residencies in addition to serving in backing bands and orchestras for Olivia Newton John and the Temptations. Drummer/percussionist Don Alias heard him with the latter and suggested he try playing jazz. Alias arranged an audition with Weather Report and Acuña joined that band for their 1975 tour. He moved to Los Angeles and played on the band's two most successful studio outings, Black Market and Heavy Weather, and he toured with the group until 1978. During his tenure, Weather Report backed Joni Mitchell on Don Juan's Reckless Daughter. He has been a recording and touring sideman to a dazzling array of artists ranging from Paul McCartney and Joni Mitchell to Andre Crouch and Blondie.The stellar & diverse list of artists Alex has worked with seems never ending, the word prolific is an understatement. Wayne Shorter was a saxophonist, bandleader and composer. His compositions became jazz standards and he received worldwide recognition and critical praise.  Wayne Shorter won 12 Grammy Awards. His mastery of the soprano saxophone earned him (beginning in 1970) Down Beat's annual poll-winner on that instrument… winning the critics' poll for 10 consecutive years and the readers' poll for 18 years.  The New York Times music critic Ben Ratliff described Shorter in 2008 as "probably jazz's greatest living small-group composer and a contender for greatest living improviser". Via Wayne Shorter, We Love You! Source: https://drummerworld.com/drummers/Alex_Acuna.htmlSource: https://www.allaboutjazz.com/musicians/alex-acuna/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

"Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" is a jazz standard written by pianist Joe Zawinul and made famous by Cannonball Adderly's Quintet. In this tutorial, you will learn how to play the tune using authentic gospel voicings which have a variety of applications. Enjoy! Have you been trying to learn jazz piano with youtube videos, dvds, teachers but feel like you're still constantly guessing, can't play any tunes without copying what someone else has played, and don't know how to connect all the tid bits you've learned? I went through the same thing but thankfully stumbled upon a learning system I created based on proven language learning blocks. The JPS System brings you through 4 main categories of learning, Theory, Technique, Improvisation and Repertoire.

Als Kind im Zweiten Weltkrieg hat er Schreckliches erlebt, als Musiker dann hatte er aber eine Karriere aus dem Bilderbuch: Joe Zawinul. Kaum in Boston am Berklee College, wird Joe Zawinul schon eingeladen u.a. von der Sängerin Dinah Washington, wird jahrelang zum Pianisten erster Wahl von Cannonball Adderley, spielt historische Jazz-Rock-Alben ein mit Miles Davis und wird mit seiner eigenen Band "Weather Report" endgültig zum Jazz-Weltstar. Nervös war er offenbar nie, in einen Starkult abgehoben ist aber ebenso wenig, erzählt der österreichische Pianist David Helbock. Er hat Joe Zawinul verschiedentlich gesehen und auch kennengelernt, als er in einer Vorband vor Zawinul aufgetreten ist und backstage seine Band kennengelernt hat - und er ist zu Gast in der Jazz Collection bei Jodok Hess.

Le Mozart de la basse sénégalaise sort son 5è album Sultan. Il est venu au Grand studio en formule trio dans la #SessionLive avec Dharyl Esso à la basse et Tony Tixier au clavier/piano, pour interpréter 2 titres de cet album qui réunit Afrique de l'Ouest, Afrique du Nord et Moyen-Orient. Quatre ans après son dernier album solo African Fast Food, Alune Wade revient pour un voyage musical envoûtant entre l'Afrique de l'Ouest et l'Afrique du Nord, entouré de complices de longue date et de nouveaux venus, parmi lesquels Noura Mint Seymali, Paco Sery, Cyril Atef, Hugues Mayot ou encore Christian Sands et Harold López -Nussa… Depuis son premier album solo, Mbolo, paru en 2006, Alune Wade ne cesse de tisser une trame jazz intuitive. Bassiste, auteur, compositeur, interprète et producteur, avec Aziz Sahmaoui, il forme en 2010 le groupe University of Gnawa, avec lequel il explore les secrets de la transe Gnawa sur toutes les grandes scènes du monde. Les deux musiciens font partie de ceux qui ont joué avec Joe Zawinul et participé au métissage cosmopolite cher au claviériste et pianiste viennois. En 2015, Wade participe à l'album de Marcus Miller Afrodeezia (Blue Note) et enregistre avec le pianiste cubain Harold López-Nussa, Havana-Paris-Dakar (World Village/Harmonia Mundi). La bande son, ciselée à La Havane, témoigne de leur vision commune et de l'inspiration puisée dans chaque ville. En 2018, le bassiste produit African Fast Food, un quatrième album qui croise déjà les langues, les rythmes, jazz, afrobeat et folk, en s'entourant désormais d'une palette de musiciens, originaires de nombreux pays, qui composent à chaque fois un nouvel espace musical.   Ce cinquième album se présente comme un voyage musical entre l'Afrique de l'Ouest et l'Afrique du Nord, qui s'étire langoureusement jusqu'à l'Afrique de l'Est et l'Éthiopie, guidé par les rythmes arabo-andalous, berbères ou le souffle des chants soufis, et mêlant les saveurs cuivrées de l'afrobeat aux envolées des maqams orientaux et du jazz. Ce sont ces chemins bordés par les mers et les sables, qui mènent de Grenade à Oran, de Tunis à Tombouctou, de Dakar aux contreforts du royaume de Saba. Entre force et mystère, rythmes guerriers ou charmes envoûtants, Sultan déroule des épopées de mythes fondateurs du continent africain qui surviennent à la croisée de récits d'actualité brûlante, où les périples se font migrations clandestines et meurtrières, où les sables chauds cachent l'or noir qui incendie le cœur des hommes. Mais où le métissage et la tolérance peuvent également s'exprimer à bâtons rompus dans un café d'Oran. Les voyages initiatiques sont sinueux, empreints de troubles détours et passages lumineux. Parsemés de dangers ou trésors rutilants, ils débusquent les richesses intérieures, retrouvent des sagesses ancestrales en passant par les méandres du deuil ou de l'oubli. Et toujours exaltent les sentiments vivant à l'ombre des belles âmes. Douze titres comme autant de récits. Et un casting vertigineux. Dans le premier cercle des musiciens sur scène : Adriano Tenorio DD aux percussions, Cédric Ducheman au piano et claviers, Carlos Sarduy à la trompette, Hugues Mayot au saxophone et Daril Esso à la batterie. Sur l'album, on reconnaitra non moins de dix-neuf noms réputés chacun dans leur domaine, batteur, chanteuse, rappeur, flûtiste, tromboniste, joueur de oud, de guembri, etc. Il faut chercher les noms de Paco Sery, Cyril Atef, Lenny White, Josh Dutsh, Ismail Lumanovski, Hein Benmiloud, Mustapha Sahbi, Nasriddine Chebli, Harold Lopez Nussa, Christian Sands, Leo Genovese, Bobby Spark, Daniel Blake, Faris Ishaq et tous les autres, pour mieux entendre les voix de Nora Mint Seymali, Mounir Troudi, PPS the Writah, Aziz Sahmaoui, Mehdi Nassouli ou Djam. Il n'y a pas de hasard parmi ceux qui prennent part au voyage orchestré par Alune Wade, qui commence avec la procession emblématique de la reine de Saba. L'épopée s'aborde de front dans un roulement de tambours avant de s'achever dans une ville portuaire entre musiciens qui savent le sens du mot prodige.   Chaîne youtube Alune Wade  ►  Nouvel album Sultan (Enja Yellow Bird / l'Autre Distribution)   Titres interprétés au Grand studio Saba's Journey Live RFI Portrait de Maure feat.

"La musique est l'arme du futur". Le slogan du totémique Fela Kuti demeure d'actualité en 2021, tant les problèmes qui divisent depuis trop longtemps le monde en noir et blanc restent prégnants dans une société qui semble avoir dans sa grande majorité été sourde aux messages des artistes. Car le Nigérian est loin d'être le seul à avoir porté le débat des droits civiques sur les scènes publiques. Nina Simone comme Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield comme Abbey Lincoln, Miriam Makeba, comme James Brown, la liste est trop longue des musiciens qui ont fait de leur médium un instrument de luttes. Si les lignes ont bougé sur le terrain de la musique, les fractures sont encore béantes dans un monde qui tend à se replier vers des identités fermées et des idéologies réactionnaires. C'est tout l'enjeu de ce projet, dont le titre renvoie au grand mouvement citoyen américain, qui essaime depuis à travers la planète. Black Lives, from Generation to Generation, un message plus que nécessaire à l'heure où George Floyd comme Adama Traoré sont décédés.   Cette sélection conçue par Stefany Calembert s'en fait l'écho. La productrice entend démontrer la vivacité de ce message qui traverse depuis des décennies les générations et qui aujourd'hui, plus que jamais, incite à agir. Ici, les plus jeunes n'ont guère plus de vingt ans et le vétéran va bientôt fêter ses quatre-vingt printemps. Ils sont nés à Ségou, Bruges, Washington, Chicago, en banlieue de Pointe-à-Pitre comme dans le Bronx. Ils sont américains, martiniquais, sud-africains ou haïtiens, tous unis autour de cette cause commune, qui en rien ne doit gommer la diversité de leurs origines qui s'exprime ainsi dans une profusion stylistique. C'est l'autre objectif de cette sélection : démontrer en vingt titres la créativité d'une communauté afro-diasporique dont la bande-son raconte à travers un foisonnant éclectisme le destin d'hommes et de femmes qui ont su transcender cet originel arrachement à leur continent. Ce son, c'est celui du fond des cales des navires négriers, c'est celui des rythmes réinventés loin de leur terreau ancestral, c'est celui d'une voix qui parvient à sublimer ses douleurs, celui d'un saxophone qui hurle face à la ségrégation. Ce son, c'est celui de l'Atlantique noir, cet océan composé par tant de vies et de morts, cette zone de flux et de remous, d'allers et désormais de retours, d'où auront émergé aussi bien le blues que le rap, le jazz que la biguine. Au cœur ou dans les marges de cet espace informel et pourtant bien réel, ceux qui n'avaient pas le droit à la parole se sont exprimés, un temps dans le secret, aujourd'hui sur tous les canaux médiatiques, faisant résonner au plus haut ce message d'émancipation.   Black Lives from Generation to Generation Jammin'colorS / l'Autre Distribution.

Weather Report was one of the most prominent bands of the 70's and 80's . It existed from 1970 to 1986 and was initially begun as an idea from pianist/composer Joe Zawinul, saxophonist/composer Wayne Shorter and virtuoso bassist/composer Miroslav Vitous. They were initially inspired by the late 70's music of Miles Davos from his "In A Silent Way" album and his ground breaking "Bitches Brew" recording. All three had worked with Miles. The three principals foresaw a new vision for Jazz moving away from many of the more traditional forms plus the use of electronic instruments such as the electric bass and synthesizer. For want of a better definition, their music was called "Jazz Fusion". Alphonse Mouzon was their first drummer very soon replaced by Eric Gravatt and various percussionists were tried by finally Brazilian master Don Um Romaro was the ideal. Tonight's Jazz feature is from a concert in Tokyo recorded in January of 1972 and represents Weather Report at it's early artistic best before it began to use more R&B and funk elements and catered to a wider audience. The music moves through a variety of moods and tempos and is very dynamic and open. This album was only available in Japan for many years but finally issued domestically in the CD era. Enjoy Weather Report tonight!.

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)
