RESPECT! DANCEFEST WEEKLY PODCAST: SEASON 4 is premiering NOW! Tune in and listen to this knowledgeable interview with our hosts Micaya and Corey Action, featuring the special guests Michael Manson , Lillie Karunanayake , Gabby M. and James G. Boxton from House of Jit Detroit. Look forward to learning about Detroit Jit style, its culture and their explosive piece “Rhythm of The Feet” , which they will perform at this year's SFIHHDF shows.

En esta edición estrenamos 'Changes 2', el nuevo disco en solitario del compositor, teclista y cantante Mike Lindup, uno de los componentes de la exitosa banda Level 42. Repasamos novedades de la música Smooth Jazz protagonizadas por Stephen Duros, Lin Rountree, Brian Bromberg, Cindy Bradley y Everett B Walters. En los minutos para el recuerdo repasamos algunos de los momentos más destacados de la discografía del bajista Michael Manson.

Dancer/choreographer Michael Manson is an internationally recognized authority in Detroit Jit, a dance genre birthed in his hometown over 50 years ago. His talent earned him a national audience when he appeared on “So You Think You Can Dance” in 2015, and as a performer and teacher he has worked all over the States and as far away as Paris and La Paz. Once a student of famed dancer/choreography Rennie Harris, he now tours with Rennie Harris Puremovement in performances of “Caravan,” starring jazz scholar Terence Blanchard.Last year, Mike, in conjunction with the non-profit Living Arts, was one of five recipients of a prestigious Joyce Foundation grant for artists working in the Great Lakes region. Thanks to the grant's support, Mike has been able to commit to his passion, namely teaching young people in Detroit about their city's rich cultural history and ensuring that Detroit Jit is recognized, respected and studied as a distinctive American dance genre. The Joyce Foundation grant also allowed him to create “Rhythm of the Feet,” a concert-length dance production that not only centers Detroit Jit but also, thanks to a cast of professional dancers from around the country, places it in the context of other seminal American footwork styles, such as tap, Chicago footwork, House, Memphis Jookin and Lindy Hop.Here he describes how he developed his passion for cultural preservation in tandem with his dance skills and explains why he takes pride in seeing his students overtake him … as long as they remain respectful of the Jit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSSGccDQNXM&t=51shttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ioq0MK1mhdghttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/p7ZHQqOEX_0

Michael Manson, Bass player extraordinaire will always give you THE BOTTOM LINE with his bass playing skills and overall musical prowess!  http://mikemanson.com/

Chicago native Michael Manson has filled the bass chair for some of the top names in jazz and gospel music such as George Duke, Larry Carlton and Kirk Whalum. I caught up with him while he was in town with Jeff Lorber Fusion and we chatted about what it takes to be prepared for a high profile gig like that as well as the importance of developing your own voice on the instrument, his classical upbringing and his solo career. Manson not only has blazing chops but his sense of melody and pocket are second to none and it was blast getting to jam and talk with him! http://www.basslessonsmelbourne.com http://mikemanson.com/ http://www.facebook.com/bassguitarlessonsmelbourne

A naturally gifted musician, San Diego born bassist Darryl Williams began playing bass at the young age of 13. Within two years he was playing at local clubs and events around the San Diego area, which includes opening up for smash RnB group Lakeside. He also played with Gospel Legend Shirley Caesar at age 16. After graduating from high school, Williams did a four-month tour of Japan with other young talented musicians, which he states as being "unforgettable". Upon returning to the States, that same band did a three-month tour opening for soul legend Al Green. After that tour, Darryl enrolled in the Jazz Program at San Diego State University and studied with San Diego legends Gunner Biggs and Rick Helzer. With a hunger to grow musically, he sought out other teachers as well which includes former Miles Davis and John Coltrane bassist Marshall Hawkins, Sarah Vaughn bassist Bob Magnusson, great San Diego bassist Cecil Mcbee Jr. and San Diego sax icon Hollis Gentry III. By age 21, Williams was a regular on the San Diego music scene performing regularly with artist like Hollis Gentry, Evan Marks and Patrick Yandall to name a few.

In 2008 Williams relocated to California. Upon relocating, he released his first solo CD, “That Was Then” and received high praises from several top smooth jazz writers and dj’s. In a Jazz Times Magazine article dated October 2008, noted jazz writer Brian Soergel says, “ Is there room for another smooth jazz bassist to join the ranks of Wayman Tisdale, Brian Bromberg, Michael Manson and Gerald Veasley? In the case of Darryl Williams the answer is an enthusiastic yes”!

Michael Manson is tremendously excited about the Thumpin' CD/DVD release.  He is equally as excited about the possibility to walk the same path as his mentor and friend, the late, George Duke.  In his words,"it is now my responsibility to use all that I have learned from George, to do all that I can, to make the best music I can, so that I continue the legacy and lineage that he has invested in me. So we move forward.  As George would say, "we were there, and now we're here" so here we go". My 1st live record. It features some new tracks and some reworking of some other tracks.  On this recording, no special guests from my friends, but just a showcase of my band and I "getting it in".  Most importantly and personally, for me is a tribute to my friend and mentor George Duke who I dedicate this project to.

On Michael Manson's new cd "UP FRONT", he is credited for writing and production. For this album Michael has collected the who's who of smooth jazz: Rick Braun, Kirk Whalum, Jeff Lorber, Brian Culbertson, Nelson Rangel, Norman Brown, Paul Jackson Jr., the legendary George Duke and many more great jazz musicians. This album is a great mix of contemporary jazz, R&B and even a little gospel.
