In 2013, the world of contemporary jazz welcomed a newcomer who released her debut, self-titled album, Lindsey Webster. Since then, Lindsey's roots have continued to grow as she's released a total of six albums, with her latest album, “Reasons”, dropping in early September. In fact, the first single from the new album, “I Didn't Mean It”, features Brian Culbertson and hit the Top 10 on the Billboard jazz chart. Success is no stranger to Lindsey, as she and her writing partner, Keith Slattery, have produced two number one and eight top tens on the Billboard charts. In fact, in 2016 Webster became the first vocalist to hit #1 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz charts since Sade. On “Reasons”, Lindsey invites an incredible cast of guest performers, including Nathan East, Randy Brecker, Brian Culbertson, Lenny Castro, Nicholas Payton, Kev Choice, and Lil John Roberts. While there's no shortage of talent with her supporting cast, Lindsey's vocals are undeniable and the star of the show. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Lindsey Webster.

Our guest today is one Brittany Valint, who is no stranger to the program. Previously, we dissected Ben Kweller's 2002 record Sha Sha, which you can listen to in Episode 70. Brittany is someone who I've gotten to know a little more over the past year and I'm so proud to call her a friend. She makes up one-half of the atmospheric project known as Wall of Trophies with her co-conspirator Will Copps, and also pens songs under her own moniker, Brittany Jean.This time around, Brittany has selected The Instigator, - the second solo album from Rhett Miller, front man of the legendary band known as Old 97's. The Instigator, which was released on Elektra back on September 24, 2002, is chock-full of excellent artists in their own right alongside Rhett, including multi-instrumentalist and producer Jon Brion, percussionist Lenny Castro, X's John Doe, drummer Joshua Freese, songwriter/artist David Garza, legendary artist Robyn Hitchcock, Jim Keltner on drums, touring and session drummer Dan Mac Carroll on drums (Aimee Mann, Sheryl Crow and others), and vocalists Karen Kilgarriff and Chrissy Guerrero.We take our conversation “track x track” and Brittany sprinkles in a few personal stories about seeing Rhett performing solo at The Kennedy Center in DC, and on one frigid night at Starr Hill in Charlottesville, VA. Enjoy!

In addition, the release was chosen as Downbeat Magazine Editor's Pick in 2018. 2019 portends to be a busy year, as Haque has retired from 30 years at Northern Illinois University to accommodate extended tours with Cobham, Goran Ivanovic, and his own groups. Highlights to include The Montreux Jazz Festival with Cobham, and appearances with his own groups at The Bluenote Beijing, Louisville, and Minneapolis Guitar Festivals among others. New recordings with his own group and with Goran Ivanovic are scheduled for 2019, under the legendary Delmark Label.Born in 1963 to a Pakistani father and Chilean mother, Fareed's extensive travels and especially long stays in Spain, France, Iran, Pakistan, and Chile exposed Haque to different kinds of music from a very early age. While this natural eclecticism has become a hallmark of Haque's music, it was repeated visits to Von Freeman's Chicago jam sessions that gave Haque a grounding in the Chicago blues and jazz traditions. The 1981 recipient of North Texas State University's Jazz Guitar Scholarship, Haque spent a year studying with renowned jazz guitarist and pedagogue Jack Peterson. Fareed's growing interest in the classical guitar led him to transfer to Northwestern University, where he completed his studies in classical guitar under David Buch, John Holmquist, and Anne Waller.Soon after his transfer to NU, Haque came to the attention of multi-instrumentalist Howard Levy and joined his latin-fusion group Chevere. Thru Levy, Haque was introduced to Paquito D'Rivera and began a long and fruitful relationship with the Cuban NEA Jazz Master. Numerous world tours and recordings including Manhattan Burn, Celebration, Havana Cafe, Tico Tico, Live at the MCG were to follow. Especially notable is the classic and award winning Reunion featuring Haque along with Arturo Sandoval, Danilo Perez, Giovanni Hidalgo, Mark Walker, and David Fink.Thru D'Rivera, Haque was brought to the attention of Sting, who had just begun his record label Pangaea. Sting invited Haque to join the label and he released 2 critically acclaimed recordings, Voices Rising and Manresa. Haque toured briefly with Sting, including notable appearances at The Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as NBC's Michelob Presents Sunday Night with David Sanborn, but his own career demands led Haque in other directions.Haque has been featured on WTTW's ArtBeat and Chicago Tonight, Ben Sidran's New Visions, Michelob Presents Sunday Night with David Sanborn on NBC, his own Lonesome Pines special for PBS, and on BET cable jazz channel. Fareed has twice been selected as Talent Deserving Wider Recognition in Downbeat Magazine. In 1989, Haque also joined the faculty at Northern Illinois University as professor of jazz and classical guitar. He continues to teach at NIU to this day.After a short stint at Warner Bros. recording Majestad (unreleased and featuring John Patitucci, Michael Landau, Russel Ferrante, Grazinha, Lenny Castro, and Carlos Vega!), Bruce Lundvall signed Haque to the legendary Bluenote Records. While at Bluenote, Haque recorded three albums as a leader: Sacred Addiction, Opaque, and Déjà vu. Haque toured and recorded extensively with other artists, including tours and 3 CDs with Javon Jackson: A Look within, For One Who Knows, and Good People. In addition, sideman credits include tours and recordings with Joe Henderson, Herbie Mann, Bob James, Richie Cole, Joey Calderazzo, Kahil El Zabar and the Ethnic Heritage Ensemble, and numerous Bluenote recordings for producer/arranger Bob Belden alongside Cassandra Wilson, Dianne Reeves, Joe Lovano, Paul Motian, and many others. Numerous classical recitals, as well as appearances with the Vermeer Quartet and many symphonies across the US and abroad, added to an incredible diversity of performances during this period.Thru Belden, Haque was invited to join forces with Joe Zawinul as part of his Zawinul Syndicate. The group proved to be one of Joe's best and most eclectic. Included were percussionist and vocalist Arto Tuncboyacian, drummer Paco Sery, bassist Mathew Garrison, along with Haque on Guitar and Electric Guitar. A year of extensive touring brought Haque closer to his Jazz/Rock roots.In 2001, Haque's interest in jam bands and the jam scene led him to co-found the jam super-group Garaj Mahal featuring Kai Eckhardt, Eric Levy, and Alan Hertz. This began 10 years of extensive touring across the US, performing in excess of 200 shows per year. Haque also joined George Brooks' group Summit, featuring Zakir Hussain and Steve Smith. Haque was voted ‘Most Valuable Player' at the 2002 High Sierra Music Festival. Haque and Garaj Mahal released 3 Live CDs as well as 5 studio CDs: Mondo Garaj, Blueberry Cave, w00t, More Mr. Nice Guy, and Discovery, which featured Haque's debut of the Moog Guitar.In 2004, Fareed premiered his Lahara Double Concerto for Sitar/Guitar and Tabla with The Chicago Sinfonietta at Symphony Center in Chicago, under the baton of maestro Paul Freeman, featuring tabla virtuoso Ustad Zakir Hussain, to whom the work is dedicated.In 2006, Fareed was commissioned to compose a classical guitar concerto for the Fulcrum Point Ensemble. His Gamelan Concertowas premiered in May of '06 at The Harris theatre in Millenium Park.In 2007, Garaj Mahal won an Independent Music Award.In 2009 Haque was voted ‘Best World Guitarist' by Guitar Player Magazine's Readers' poll. His acclaimed 2009 release Flat Planetwas twice #1 on the World Jazz Radio charts.After 10 years of over 2000 dates with Garaj Mahal, Haque's interest in electronic music and the Moog Guitar spurred him to leave Garaj Mahal and form Fareed Haque's MathGames, featuring bassist Alex Austin and drummer Greg Fundis.Notable events during this time include Haque performing and assistant directing the first Jazz Festival en la Patagonia in Frutillar, Chile under his mentor and friend Paquito D'Rivera, and appearances with his own groups at Java Jazz, The Chicago Jazz Festival, The Twents Guitar Festival, The Indy Jazz Fest, Coleman Hawkins Jazz Fest, Jazz in June, The Lafayette and South Bend Jazz Festivals, Sophia Jazz Fest, Bulgaria and many others around the world.

Lenny Castro is one of the most influential percussionists in music and has performed on many hits that have become soundtracks of our lives. Artists like The Rolling Stones, Elton John, U2, Adele, The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Justin Timberlake are just a few who have relied on Lenny's masterful talent. His work with Toto, including performing on the iconic song “Africa”, has influenced generations. Lenny recently released his debut solo album entitled Hands Of Silk And Stone. In our in-depth conversation with him, we span the decades including his 1st meeting with Jeff Porcaro to the formation of Toto and hear selections from his fantastic debut record. Contact Gon Bops for the titles, in the order they were played.

This week's podcast is part of an entire month of "deep dives," a little something that we are calling "Deep Dive December with the 3D's." Here is the recipe. Start off with a heaping helping of great songs written by Chris Eaton, Roby Duke, Chris Eaton, Crissie Grossman Puig, Pam Mark Hall, and Russ & Tori Taff. Season to taste with the finest L.A. session players of the 1980s: Paul Leim, Nathan East, Neil Stubenhaus, James Newton Howard, Robbie Buchanan, Larry Williams, Dann Huff, Michael Landau, Paul Jackson, Jr., Bill Champlin, Tamara Champlin, Tommy Funderburk, Tata Vega, and Lenny Castro. What do you get? You get the album Medals, arguably Russ Taff's finest moment as a solo artist. Medals also found Taff reinventing himself for the record. As Lucas W. Hendrickson writes in the 2001 book CCM Presents: The 100 Greatest Albums in Christian Music, "Medals...falls squarely between the 'former lead singer of the Imperials' vide found on his solo debut Walls of Glass and the troubled, introspective nature of his 1987 self-titled project." As far as the 3D's are concerned, no album better personifies 1980s L.A. smooth/West Coast AOR CCM quite like Medals. --- The 3D's are Dan, Derek, and Dave. Three friends who used to work together in early 1990s in Christian radio who love to reminisce about music from the golden era of CCM, 1985-1995. If you love classic Amy, Michael, Petra, Russ, and White Heart, you have found your new favorite podcast. New episodes drop every Monday.

Toto es una banda de rock estadounidense formada en 1978 en Los Ángeles compuesta por destacados músicos de sesión.? Fue fundada por el teclista David Paich y el baterista Jeff Porcaro. La agrupación combinaba diferentes estilos musicales, como blues, funk, Soul, pop y distintas corrientes de rock.Han vendido más de 40 millones de discos, de los cuales: 13 son de estudio, cinco en directo, una banda sonora (Dune) y un trabajo compilatorio que cuenta con cuatro canciones inéditas.El grupo obtuvo seis Premios Grammy en su 25.ª edición en 1983 con el álbum Toto IV,? que incluye canciones como Africa y Rosanna. Tras el éxito comercial de este disco, los músicos de la banda fueron contratados por Michael Jackson y Quincy Jones para tocar en la producción más vendida en la historia de la música: Thriller.Paralelamente a la carrera de Toto, sus integrantes han tocado en miles de discos, Jeff Porcaro (baterista) registra más de 1050 álbumes —pese a su prematura muerte siguen apareciendo grabaciones suyas,? Steve Lukather (guitarrista) más de 1530,David Paich (tecladista) más de 1720; mientras que Steve Porcaro (segundo teclista) más de 660,y Simon Phillips (exbaterista que reemplazó a Jeff Porcaro) más de 660.Frente a esto no es exagerado decir que gran parte del sonido pop/rock de la década de los ochenta fue generado por los músicos de la banda.? Sin embargo, pese al éxito mundial y a la notable contribución de la agrupación a la industria musical, el guitarrista y líder Steve Lukather es categórico en señalar que la banda es "la más incomprendida en el mundo"? debido a las críticas negativas que ha tenido en el transcurso de los años en los medios estadounidenses e ingleses, Algunas de las tesis que surgen en torno al rechazo que ha generado la banda en los medios estadounidenses e ingleses, especialmente VH1,y Rolling Stone,es por el nombre de la agrupación al carecer de una propuesta estética en un período musical en el que la apariencia muchas veces primó,y otra es que los especialistas en música en estos medios jamás han concebido ni han aprobado que una agrupación mezcle tantos estilos musicales como lo hace Toto.En la misma línea, pero a favor de la propuesta musical de Toto, se encuentran algunos músicos, como Steve Vai, que dijo una vez que fue a verlos a Milán: "Esta banda creó un sonido propio y único. Es la perfecta mezcla de rock, pop, fusión y un poco de jazz, todo en un paquete totalmente armonizado", o Eddie Van Halen, que se refirió a la agrupación como "colectivamente, compuesta por los mejores músicos del planeta".En sus más de 40 años de carrera tuvieron más de diez formaciones,? que han variado según la gira promocional del álbum. El único músico que ha participado en todas es Steve Lukather, mientras que Paich y Lukather han estado en todas las grabaciones de los discos. El puesto más inestable ha sido el de vocalista: Bobby Kimball (1978-1984/1998-2008), Dennis Frederiksen (1984-1986), Joseph Williams (1986-1989/2010-presente), Jean-Michel Byron (1990-1991) y Steve Lukather (1991-1998) han estado en él.La banda se disolvió en el año 2008, pero volvieron a reunirse en 2010 a beneficio del bajista Mike Porcaro, que sufrió la enfermedad de esclerosis lateral amiotrófica y que le imposibilitó de seguir tocando,? Los destacados bajistas de sesión Leland Sklar, Shem von Shroeck, Nathan East y David Hungate, primer bajista del conjunto que volvió en 2014, han reemplazado a Porcaro, pero ninguno de ellos como miembro oficial de la banda. El 24 de enero de 2014, el baterista Simon Phillips anunció su separación con Toto para dedicarse a sus propios proyectos.Su última formación estuvo integrada por Steve Lukather, Joseph Williams, Steve Porcaro y David Paich, y sus músicos de acompañamiento eran Shem von Shroeck en el bajo, Shannon Forrest en la batería, Warren Ham en los coros y en el saxofón y Lenny Castro como percusionista. Lanzaron un último disco de estudio llamado, Toto XIV, que salió a la venta el 24 de marzo de 2015 en Estados Unidos a través de Amazon.

St. Paul chats with one of the most recorded percussionists in the world, Lenny Castro. He talks about his time with Toto, Joe Sample and how he survives being on the road.

En 1975 ingresa en el Lee Strausberg Institute for Actors de Hollywood y mucho más tarde —de 1997 en adelante— Mouzon retoma sus estudios en el ámbito de la interpretación bajo la dirección de Susan Ricketts primero y de Don Pitts más tarde. Baterista, compositor y productor musical de gran talento e inconfundible estilo, Alphonse Mouzon es, junto a Billy Cobham, uno de los bateristas que contribuyeron a la constitución y establecimiento definitivo del jazz fusión en la década de 1970. Músico de probada versatilidad, Alphonse Mouzon no se limitó a trabajar con algunos de las más importantes figuras del jazz fusión a nivel mundial, sino que también apareció junto a artistas de la talla de Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Carlos Santana, Patrick Moraz, Tommy Bolin, o Chubby Checker. Mouzon tocó en una grabación con Albert Mangelsdorff (trombón) y Jaco Pastorius (bajo), llamada Trilogue. Grabada originalmente en 1976 y reliberada en 2005 siendo esta presentación el 6 de noviembre de 1976 en the Berlin Jazz Days.

In cooking, there’s always that secret ingredient that make a dish special. In the LA music scene, Lenny Castro has been that secret ingredient for decades. Lenny has recorded and toured with hundreds of major recording artists throughout his amazing career. His mastery of percussion has made him a first-call studio musician and one of the most recorded in the history of popular music. Lenny had the good fortune to not have to “pound the pavement” for his first gigs in LA. It was Melissa Manchester who encouraged the teenage New York native to follow her to LA. He didn’t think twice and took the job. One contact led to another and he found himself playing gigs on a regular basis. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome the legendary Lenny Castro.
