Mike Dillon is a percussionist, vibraphonist, bandleader, singer-songwriter, and vocalist born in San Antonio Texas. He is a member of Critters Buggins, Les Claypool's Fancy Band, and Garage A Trois. He has performed with many musicians including Ani DiFranco, Galactic, Brave Combo, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Marco Benevento, Clutch, Claude Coleman Jr., and New Orleans musicians Kevin O'Day, Johnny Vidacovich, James  Singleton, and Ricky Lee Jones. Mike Dillon & Punkadelick makes its recorded debut with Inflorescence, an album of heady, instrumental rock highlighting a band deep in the throes of creative freedom, road tested and wild. Consisting of 10 tracks in 42-minutes, it's an expansive, focused and fearless collection, representing a world where Duke Ellington and Augustus Pablo rub shoulders with crate-digger exotica, the freak-funk of Parliament and the ‘anything fits' outsider ethos of acid-fried punks like The Meat Puppets. A trio featuring Mike Dillon (Ricki Lee Jones, Ani DiFranco, Les Claypool) on vibraphone, marimba, Prophet 6, congas, and bongos, Brian Haas (Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey) on Fender Rhodes, piano, bass Moog and melodica and Nikki Glaspie (Beyonce) on drums, cymbals and vocals, Punkadelick is the unified vision of six hands creating a world that often sounds like the work of an ensemble three times the size. During 2020 and 2021, while many music venues were still shuttered, the group began touring, sweating their way through cuts Dillon and Haas had composed during quarantine writing sessions. Locking in on stage, it quickly became clear the band was functioning at a level that made the hair on their arms stand at attention—even for three live music veterans accustomed to life on the road.   July 27th Mike and Punkadelick are playing the Grog shop in Cleveland OH tickets here! https://grogshop.gs/event-details/13536034/mike-dillon-punkadelic-hello-3d-c-level/   Mike's Info https://www.mikedillonvibes.com/

I'm so very excited about this episode for a variety of reasons.For starters, it's the first installment of the Becoming a Swifty series that I hope has a number of future guests (Note: Number two's already on the books!). This is an idea that's been cooking in the back of my brain for a good little bit, and it's always nice to see an idea come to fruition, whatever that may look like. And -- before you come for me, Swifties -- know that I'm aware that some of you may not care for a particular piece of the series spelling. The only thing I can say to that is that it's my show. I'm the language nerd, and I'm allowed to geek out in whatever aesthetic fashion I see fit. I do actually love the music of Taylor Swift, but probably not as much as you, and certainly not enough to defy the laws of grammar on that particular level. "And that's all I have to say about that."Second, my guest is a very cool, very-special homegirl, whom I've known for a good many years, and hadn't seen in nearly 20. So, to say I was stoked to have these two worlds collide is for sure an understatement.Sophia Reade is a daughter, a sibling, a niece, a granddaughter, a mom, a partner, a friend, a hoot, and one of the hippest Swifties I know. I'm so very delighted that she agreed to join me, and I couldn't be more thankful for the gift and expense of her time, as she drove in from St. Louis just to sit and talk life and music with me. I'm also very joyful that she was born with a strong will and has managed to overcome a lot of bullshit that life has put on her plate. And I don't use that term lightly. We all deal with bullshit, but it's oftentimes -- for many of us -- small stuff that we maybe make too big of a deal out of.Not in Sophia's case.The hand of bullshit she was dealt for most of her younger years is preposterous, ridiculous, and unfair. And I know that there are plenty of folks that have dealt with more, but they're mostly not in my circles. Sophia is, and has been in varying sorts, for nearly three decades.Finally, I'm grateful that I've been able to keep this thing alive for what is now 95 episodes, and it looks like we'll make it not only through the end of the year, but to that big century mark, which is maybe both dope and silly at the same time. I dunno. It's been so many things, this journey. Fun, educational, exciting, challenging, stressful, surprising, disappointing, anxiety-provoking, a source of pride.Back to Miss Reade, though. We talked about many things Taylor Swift, and that included her discography:self-titled (2006)Fearless (2008)Speak Now (2010)Red (2012)1989 (2014)Reputation (2017)Lover (2019)Folklore (2020)Evermore (2020)Midnights (2022)We also mentioned a few non-Taylor albums that are special to her. They're these ones:Ceremonials (2011), Florence & the MachineLourde's Pure Heroine (2013)Strange Desire (2014), BleachersAgain: Such a treat. So thankful in so many ways.Cheers.copyright disclaimer: I do not own the rights to the audio samples present in this episode. They are clips from a Karl Denson song called "Who Are You?"

We are so stoked to have our brother Will Hanza of Escaper back on No Simple Road this week! Escaper was formed in 2015 by Will Hanza (guitar, vocals) as a musical collective that pushed creative freedom.

It would afford them the opportunity to employ some of the original tools that Miles Davis, Joe Zawinul and Chick Corea used some 50 years prior – all recorded through an Auditronics 501 console that had once resided at the famed Wally Heider Studios in San francisco – the same studio where Herbie Hancock recorded Mwandishi, Head Hunters and Sextant in the early 70's. Next week on Courtney Pine Global: original sounds from Jazz Is Dead and inspirational northern lights from Norway!  Hit subscribe wherever you're listening so you don't miss it!

He is truly a unique human and artist and we are honored to have him on the show. So hop aboard the Roadcase bus learn more from this elder-statesman of funk, Karl Denson.

RIP Oct 16, 1969 - Nov 02, 2018 (age 49) All Music Guide Copy by Matt Collar In addition, he formed his own funk- and hip-hop-influenced group the RH Factor, debuting the cross-pollinated outfit with 2003's Hard Groove, which featured guest appearances by D'Angelo, Common, Meshell Ndegeocello, Q-Tip, and others. In between more straight-ahead jazz sessions, he would return to the ensemble, releasing 2004's Strength and 2006's Distractions -- vibrant productions that found him communing with soul, hip-hop, and gospel artists alike, including saxophonists David "Fathead" Newman and Karl Denson, keyboardists Bobby Sparks and Bernard Wright, bassist Pino Palladino, vocalist Renee Neufville, and others.

Travel, self exploration and radical expression through imagery and personal stories. Erin Douglas is a Maryland-based travel & lifestyle photo journalist, and 3 time Burner.

She wanted to create a place where people of color could be seen.

Welcome CHRIS LITTLEFIELD (Trumpet- Karl Denson's Tiny Universe) to Episode 035 of The Upful LIFE Podcast ! In addition to being a brilliant musician and veteran funk/R&B trumpet player, Chris is a longtime friend going back over fifteen years. It was tremendously rewarding to get with him for a riveting 90-minute conversation that is at once informative and inspiring. Chris Littlefield takes us into the reality of his surroundings, unpacking a plethora of insight and ideas. Chris Littlefield INTERVIEW @ 15:00 In lieu of the standard chat going down memory lane, instead Chris and I jump into a myriad of topics du jour. Littlefield details his day-to-day mind-frame here in the now frontier, with KDTU off the road due to coronavirus he finds himself at home with his family more than ever. Chris reveals a bit about being a father in these unprecedented, troubling times, and he explores both his own childhood in Oakland and his daughters' in Seattle, from cultural, social, and technological standpoints. Littlefield also discusses the transition to online teaching, and how his students have acclimated to Zoom sessions and digital lessons, with regard to his longtime position at Seattle Drum School of Music.      Eventually, we turn the corner and get into the stuff that's pretty hard to talk about. I am grateful for such a strong friendship bond with Chris, so I felt empowered to ask these tough questions about racial relations in the US, at this divisive, intense moment in history. Chris Littlefield leaves nary a stone unturned in this no-holds-barred discussion on race, one that extrapolates into racial components among American cities, teaching his children well about what's happening with protests and police violence, Black Lives Matter. We get into the Black Panthers legacy, intermarriage, the beauty of the people of Seattle, and more. Plus Black musical legacies, Black American music, the jazz-funk/jamband audience's role in preserving the history, and dialogues that go beyond. All that plus the 411 on Chris's main musical endeavors- he's again heard on trumpet and flugelhorn all over Karl Denson's Tiny Universe's newest album Gnomes & Badgers, and Chris opines why this record was conceptually a little bit ahead of it's time. And we get the latest from Klozd Sirkut, Littlefield's longtime electro-funk side project out of Seattle.   Vibe Junkie JAM KDTU "New Afro" ( later rechristened "Odysseus" after 12 years on the shelf)    Late Night Live from the inaugural Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in 2002, Manchester, TN   EMAIL the SHOW!

When one wants to find out where the "mainstream" gets its lifeblood, simply look outside and underground–there you'll find all the hidden gems and roads less taken. Karl Denson is an artist who has operated in both of these worlds since the 1980s. His saxophone is the first choice of Lenny Kravitz and the Rolling Stones, to name a few, and on the flip side he cuts with Andy Bey and the Greyboy All-Stars. Then there's his own stunning discography... Funk, blues, rock steady, and loads of soul make up the music of Karl Denson, along with some gnomes and badgers, which he'll explain in the segment.   One thing we're proud to brag about here at the Major Scale are some of the artists we've featured from the late night talk show scene: such as Grace Kelly and Jon Lampley from Stay Human of the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Thanks to a suggestion by Hillary Donnell, we can now add Allison Miller to the list. She's one of the rotating drummers from Late Night with Seth Meyers, and upon listening to her work you can tell why she get's the gig. Or simply ask Ani DiFranco and Dr. Lonnie Smith, some of the other excellent talent she's held her own with. Miller's band is called Boom Tic Boom and they're on a roll with their latest album "Glitter Wolf."

Episode 008 of *The Upful LIFE Podcast* welcomes Community Organizer/Permaculture Educator RYAN RISING of Permaculture Action Network to the show for a profoundly informative chat on a gang of salient topics. Ryan was kind enough to invite me over to his beautiful Berkeley backyard garden, where we linked up and sat down for a lengthy conversation. For several years, Ryan has been a force of nature in the music community, leading the Permaculture Action Network in various collaborations with musicians and festivals; his work with The Polish Ambassador in 2014 on the groundbreaking Pushing Through the Pavement Tour and documentary film Pushing Through the Pavement: A Permaculture Action Story was essential to the burgeoning Permaculture movement in live music/festival culture, as is the Permaculture Action Hub which he helps organize and produce at various international events. It was at this time that The NOHM Co.'s Jill TrAshley, a trusted friend and the person that first put Permaculture on my radar, was adamant that Ryan Rising was doing big things; that's precisely why I pegged him as a "person of interest" so many moons ago. Finally, I had the chance to ask about his journey, how this important organization and movement was launched. Before Ryan Rising, first a shout-out to our friends at Disc Jam Music Festival; and take a stroll through the NYE-week run of shows in the Bay Area (4mins 30secs), including CloZee/Goopsteppa, Erykah Badu, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe featuring Z-Trip, Thievery Corporation, and Dave Tipper. Ryan Rising Interview Starts at 23:50   Rising starts off with the upcoming Oakland Permaculture Action Day, Sunday January 20th, at 319 105th Ave, Oakland, CA.  The Action Day will be at the Sogorea Te' Land Trust & Planting Justice Nursery, where the indigenous women's land trust is building the first ceremonial arbor that has been on Ohlone land in 250 years. Sogorea Te' and Lead to Life are at the helm, and so is Planting Justice, who started a nursery in West Oakland using an economic justice model that Rising details in a language that we can easily understand. He explains just why Sogorea Te' is the organization he's most honored to work with, and delivers passionate downloads on what Lead to Life is all about. It was empowering to find out about all these righteous organizations doing good work right here where we live, and Ryan explains how we can plug in here in the East Bay and get involved. But the work Ryan does and his plethora of relationships and collaborations extends well beyond the Bay Area. He's been involved in Atlanta, Georgia (with Lead to Life), and Permaculture Action Network's varied Action Days across the country, including a few I was honored to participate in. Ryan Rising explains how Permaculture Action Network got connected with Rising Appalachia and some of the collaborations they have undertaken, and what that work has lead to over the past few years.      Permaculture Action Network and Rising Appalachia collaboration. #ActionDay Ryan Rising talks about his evolution from being a "weird kid reading anarchist books in math class", to how he found himself inside of punk rock. His life's work begins volunteering with Food Not Bombs and various organizations, and evolves into demonstrating at George W. Bush's second inauguration in Washington D.C., all the way to Rage Against the Machine's legendary township rebellion at the Democratic National Convention in 2008. From there Ryan details his path as a Community Organizer and his involvement in Occupy Wall Street, how Occupy informed his organizing and direct action tactics and concepts, and how he brought them to the West Coast. Ryan takes us back to his time living and learning with the Zapatistas in Chiapas, Mexico, and how he brought those ideals and lessons back to the States. We both were turned on to the plight of these people through the music of Rage Against the Machine, and we discuss how we were individually awakened by singer Zach de la Rocha poignant lyrics at a fertile time in our respective youths. Ryan explains how punk music was at the core of his belief system at a very young age, and how the DIY ethos informs his ideals and way of life. Naturally, we take the opportunity to geek out on some music ish, talking hip-hop, punk, and later Drum & Bass and Tipper.     Vibe Junkie JAM of the Week (1hour 47mins) Karl Denson's Tiny Universe's lusty, timeless chestnut "Groove On" from October 2002.
