Legendary guitarist from Patterson, NJ talks about his working relationships with Trudy Pitts and taking over for Pat Martino in her working band.
Today's guest was bound to happen. Meet Tex Mosely from Neverland Ranch Davidians. Tex and his band were suggested to me a couple of years ago by my friend Ian. I reached out and we tried to get everything to mesh but just couldn't make it work. A few years later, here we are. Tex talks about growing up in Philly and having music all around him. His uncle was a professional bass player. Tex started playing guitar and even took lessons from jazz legend, Pat Martino! He began his life in music in Philly, but he eventually found his way to LA. He joined up with The Slaves and found favor with Concrete Blonde, one of my favorite bands. But after a while, rock and roll and substance abuse took its toll on him. But he found help, love, and safety back with his family in Philly. After his recovery, Tex moved back to LA and joined a band called Neighborhood Bullys. They had such a good sound that they ended up being Suzi Quatro's band for her album In The Spotlight. But there's one odd thing about that recording and I'll let Tex tell that story. Tex's latest band is Neverland Ranch Davidians. It started off as a lo-fi project and wound up being his singing debut. He tells how he met the other band members, Max Hagen and Will Bentley and how he came up with the band name. Their sophomore release is out soon and it's an amalgamation of all Tex's influences (except maybe Pat Martino). It's called Shout It On The Mountain and that title tells it all. It's a rock album. That's it. Tex is a blast to talk with and shares great stories from his early days through the making of the new album. Pre-order it on Heavy Medication Records, buy the debut, and follow Neverland Ranch Davidians on the socials. You can't miss them.

Never mind what your podcast feed may seem to imply - the bastards haven't recorded a podcast together in two months, and this one got completed by the skin of their teeth. In this episode we look at two alto sax players from two very different generations (and degrees of reverence for the "tradition") and a piano player few have heard of and fewer still can understand. Pop matters covers the gamut from Dylan to the Blue Man Group with a few hobbits tossed in for good measure. Eric Kloss - ONE, TWO FREE; Sarah Hanahan - AMONG GIANTS; Hasaan Ibn Ali - RETROSPECT IN RETIREMENT OF DELAY.

Jazz, at its best, inducts its own into aesthetic alliances, some long-lasting, others fleeting, but all meaningful. Musician and listener can find fellowship musically. Meaning is experienced when we find something of value, something worthwhile. When two or more agree on meaning—especially in music—the fellow-feeling may run deep and true. The late Pat Martino, jazz guitarist extraordinaire, along with a good friend helped this happen to me in the summer of 2012 in Chicago at The Jazz Showcase. This event is sweetly and securely lodged in my memory and often brings tears to my eyes. Perhaps my short story of his encounter will ring true and trigger a certain grace of understanding and experience. Jazz is, at its best, relational. It moves from person to person, from instrument to ear, and not from product to consumer. Jazz, as one of life's many gifts, can open doors to a treasury of free and freeing fellowship where art and heart meet and kiss. And I thank my God for it.

Podcasters note: I mistakenly called this podcast, episode 18. It is in fact episode 19.I first became aware of writer, producer and author Bill Milkowski back in the mid to late 70's, when, as a young up-and-coming rock guitar player, I started buying Guitar Player Magazine. As my pursuit shifted to Jazz Guitar, Bill's writing was right there with me in such publications as Downbeat, Jazz Times, Guitar World and other top-shelf publications. Not to mention countless album liner notes. Suffice it to say, his writing is just as impactful today as it was when I was 17.In this podcast, Bill and I talk about Wes Montgomery, Pat Martino, Jaco Pastorious and much more. He is definitely full of surprises and has a vast wealth of knowledge in both the Jazz and Rock worlds.It's a fun, insighful, informative and entertaining interview and is definitely worth checking out! I think you're really gonna enjoy this one!As always, I'd love to hear or read your feedback so don't be shy!And for more Jazz Guitar related content including interviews, reviews and more, please visit Jazz Guitar Life at www.thejazzguitarlife.com.

Multi-dimensional keyboardist talks about playing with Philly legends Tyrone Brown and Pat Martino.
Tony Monaco began his keyboard life at age eight, on the accordion. When he was twelve, his destiny as a jazz organist was sealed when he first heard Jimmy Smith. An enthusiastic student, Tony began working in Jazz clubs as a teenager in his native Columbus, Ohio, guided by local organ gurus Hank Marr and Don Patterson. For further inspiration, he studiously absorbed the mastery of Jimmy McGriff, Richard "Groove" Holmes, Charles Earland, Jack McDuff, and Dr. Lonnie Smith. All would play a role in the development of his musical palette. On Tony's sixteenth birthday, his prayers were answered. He received an encouraging phone call from Jimmy Smith, who soon became his Mentor/Teacher. Four years later, Jimmy Smith invited Tony to play at his club in California--a peak lifetime experience for Tony. From 1980 to 2006, Tony stood by his family businesses and married to have three daughters, while running Monaco's Palace Italian restaurant for ten years while performing weekly in the lounge. Tony then entered the food brokerage industry peaking towards Torchbearer status with SYSCO Foods. Always inspired by music, Tony then went to work as an assistant Broadcast producer for a prominent ad agency learning his production skills and playing gigs at night to continue supporting his family. After graduating from college with a B.S.B.A. from Franklin University in 1989, Tony's occupation changed again to supervisor of Monaco Concrete (“my Father needed a good manager and my daughters were getting close to going to college!”). Tony now enjoys and concentrates on all his musical energies flourishing ultimately as he pursues his passions. In April 2000, Tony met fellow jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco, who offered to produce a debut CD for him. This collaboration resulted in the critically acclaimed "Burnin Grooves”. The international success of the recording served as the catalyst for regional and national tours. This success was followed by two more releases for Summit Records that received critical acclaim and significant sales, charting in the Jazzweek Top 10. In September 2003, Summit Records released "A New Generation”, a unique recording featuring both Tony's and Joey DeFrancesco's Trios. They recorded the project using two "Hammond-Suzuki New B3's" as Tony was awarded a major endorsement role with Hammond and Suzuki. As Tony's reputation has grown, he has been blessed to play with some of the greatest musicians in jazz, including Mel Lewis, Lewis Nash, Red Holloway, Plas Johnson, Sonny Fortune, Jon Faddis, Adam Nussbaum, Bruce Forman, Harvey Mason, Chester Thompson (drummer) Herlin Riley, Matt Wilson, Jeff Clayton, Terrell Stafford, Eric Alexander, Late Bobby Durham, Russell Malone, Peter Bernstein, Paul Bollenback, Bruce Forman, Kevin Mahogany, Victor Lewis, Pat Martino, Fareed Haque, and even George Benson. An ardent student of the organ, it's no surprise that Tony is an accomplished teacher as well. In addition to private students, classes and clinics, Tony has produced a series of instructional DVDs titled "Playing Jazz Hammond" that have quickly become indispensable for any serious student of the organ. Tony teaches Lessons online with a system he created giving lessons one on one online to anyone from anywhere around the globe! Presently, Tony maintains a busy schedule touring, including festival appearances, clinics, and workshops In 2007 he appeared on the cover of Keyboard Magazine. In April 2012, Tony released "Celebration Life * Love * Music, a two-disc set of all originals as he continues to Celebrate his Musical gifts and shares his skills with everyone. Tony's drive as an innovator and missionary continues to carry forward his passion for the Hammond Organ. Now Executive Producer of the Summit Records subsidiary Chicken Coup Records, he has recorded and released CDs for several undiscovered organists around the globe, and his role as an educator has allowed him to spread and cultivate many new hopefuls to the art of the jazz organ. In 2014 Tony released Furry Slippers with fellow guitarist Fareed Haque and Drummer Greg Fundis! Topping the Jazz and College charts and gaining several reviews! Tony continues his mission to raise awareness and appreciation of the jazz organ and its importance in genres as diverse as traditional Gospel, RnB, and Modern Jazz.

Tonight`s Jazz Feature is the recording debut of a young prodigy named Eric Kloss. Eric is celebrating his 73rd Birthday today and playing his music is a good idea to honor his recorded legacy. Eric was born blind and learned music and the saxophone at the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children and made his professional debut at age 12!! He continued to perform in and around Philadelphia at concerts and festivals and made his recording debut at age 16! This album was called ``Introducing Eric Kloss`` and was the first of ten for Prestige Records. He is heard here on alto and tenor saxophones with the great Don Patterson on Hammond organ, Pat Martino on guitar and Billy James on drums. Eric went on to record for Muse Records in the 70`s and mixed straight-ahead Jazz with fusion. He also taught at various colleges but health problems curtailed his playing and recording activity and he has kept a low profile since. Today he celebrates his 73rd Birthday and I hope we might hear him once again. Enjoy his debut tonight right here!
Tonight's Jazz Feature is a bit of a catch-up as we return to live broadcasting. This Jazz Feature is an extended tribute to Black History Month and part 1 is Sonny Rollins' famous piece "The Freedom Suite" which was recorded in February of 1958 for Riverside Records. Mr. Rollins wrote this suite and performed it here with two pioneers of Modern Jazz, bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Max Roach. It is Rollins' statement to the trials and triumphs of African Americans and was a ground breaking recording. It is in 3 movements and spans about 20 minutes of magnificent playing by all, Part 2 of tonight's Jazz Feature is a performance by the John Handy "New" Quintet at New York's Village Gate. Handy is on alto saxophone with Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Pat Martino on guitar, Albert Stinson on bass and Doug Sides on drums. The piece is dedicated to the great but underrated civil rights advocate, James Meridith who risked his life to integrate the University of Mississippi in Jackson. It is sometimes referred to as "Old Miss". Meridith was successful and today there is a statue at the university in his honor. John Handy wrote and performs his composition dedicated to Meridith called "Tears Of Old Miss" (Anatomy of a Riot). It is a stunning and intese performance depicting the effort it took Meridith to accomplish what he did. Both pieces are a tribute to Black History Month.
For over 40 years, he has stood as one of the most innovative electric bassists of the 20th and 21st centuries. Known for his one-of-a-kind tone, jaw dropping technique and highly advanced harmonic approaches to the bass, Jeff has been one of the major figures in firmly establishing the electric bass as a solo instrument well deserving of its own distinct place in modern music. Jeff's recording and performance credits include a who's who of jazz and rock. They include: Bill Bruford, Allan Holdsworth, Larry Coryell, Pat Martino, John McLaughlin, Yes, Frank Zappa, Patrick Moraz and many more.GUITAR TRAX is hosted by mulit-Emmy award winning guitarist Brian Tarquin featuring in- depth interviews with today's hottest guitar legends and airs every Monday night from 10pm-12pm on WFIT 89.5FM on the Florida space coast and can be streamed on WFIT.org.

Downbeat Magazine named Tony in the top 5 jazz organists internationally for the years 2005-2011 and his albums have been both commercially successful and critically acclaimed, with several climbing to the upper levels of Jazzweek's annual top 100 listings. Our conversation covers much ground related to error, ego, humility and music, but also Tony's struggles with alcoholism over the course of his career. And be sure to listen all the way to the end for a great live rendition of Tony's composition I'll Remember Jimmy. John Kaag is Professor and Chair of Philosophy at UMass Lowell and External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute. John W.

On this Jeff Berlin interview: his early childhood trauma and how it impacted him, “falling apart” from years of emotional pain and his subsequent recovery… his awkward first meeting with Eddie Van Halen, early lessons learned playing jingles in NYC after Berklee… great story how he hooked up with Bill Bruford and the doors that opened up for him as a result, his Top 3 Musical experiences (VERY cool), funniest things that happened to him in the studio and on stage, backstories to some of the tracks on his new Jack Songs LP & hard-earned lessons he learned from making this record… best decision he ever made, great advice for musicians, and LOADS of stories. Awesome interview, very courageous and sincere Cool Guitar, Music & ELG T-Shirts!: http://www.GuitarMerch.com Originally from NYC, Jeff is one of the most highly-regarded jazz and fusion bassists of the modern era, and a well-respected bass educator. He's known for his tone and technique, and has been one of the major figures in firmly establishing the electric bass as a solo instrument. His career took off in 1977 when Yes founding drummer Bill Bruford handpicked him to play in his band. Jeff's other recording and performance credits include a who's who of jazz and rock: Larry Coryell, Pat Martino, John McLaughlin, Yes, Eddie Van Halen, Frank Zappa & many more. Just to address this up front, Jeff's done dozens of interviews on the controversial comments he's made about bass players learning by academic teaching vs being self- taught. We're not going to address this issue, because Jeff's owned a lot of his mistakes here and has made public apologies to the people he needed to. But what we will talk about today is the genesis of what prompted the fairly dramatic shift in his position, and his ongoing emotional recovery from the things that contributed to this situation in the first place.

Pat Ryan came through the studio this week and told us about what he has coming up and where he is now with his music. Here are some excerpts from his latest interview with the Falmouth Enterprises JOANNE BRIANA-GARTNER "A presence on the Cape's music scene for nearly three decades, Mr. Ryan is a performer, educator, organizer, and promoter, primarily of jazz music. One of his influences was Eric Jackson, host of WGBH's “Eric in the Evening.” Mr. Jackson died last month. “He was known as ‘The Dean of Boston Jazz Radio,' and he educated listeners with his thoughtful, personable curation of music, presented beautifully and consistently,” Mr. Ryan said. “I was a huge fan.” “We brought many great musicians to Falmouth, some even before they became widely known, like Esperanza Spalding and Jon Batiste,” Mr. Ryan said. “We brought the late guitarist Pat Martino, Grammy-nominated vocalist and Hyannis native Kate McGarry, The New Black Eagle Jazz Band, Arturo O'Farrill, Dizzy Gillespie's Alumni All-Stars, and many other renowned artists. We also featured fine local and regional talent, including the Falmouth High School jazz band.” Limani will feature live jazz on Wednesdays from 7 to 10 PM, beginning October 19.

Grab you guitar, today I'm sharing with you one of my favorite jazz arpeggio shapes with some color, upper color tones to explore in your solos. In today's lesson, you learn how to play an arpeggio that adds both 9th and 11th color tones into your jazz guitar solos. I first learned this colorful arpeggio from a Joe Pass solo I transcribed, and later found it again in Pat Martino's solos, among other great players. First, you learn the first half of the m7 arpeggio and improvise with that shape. (I comp the chords for you just like a one-one-one lesson.) Next, you learn the full arpeggio and solo with that shape as you and I jam together over an Am7 vamp. To finish, you focus on phrasing, rhythms, and playing by ear & instinct in your arpeggio lines and solos. Have fun as you learn this arpeggio, jam over a bossa nova groove with me, and build your jazz vocabulary in a fun and interactive lesson. Get the TAB and practice tips for this arpeggio here. https://www.mwgcourses.com/p/joe-pass-arpeggios Lesson Contents 0:00 - Am11 Arpeggio Shape 0:38 - Lesson Material 1:14 - Memorization Exercise 1 3:02 - Soloing Exercise 1 4:17 - Memorization Exercise 2 6:40 - Soloing Exercise 2 8:10 - Leaving Space Exercise 11:15 - Jazz Rhythms Exercise 14:15 - Soloing Exercise 3 16:44 - Further Practice
Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus is back live on WKCR this Monday (8/8) for the first time since March 2020. Guitarist/sonic architect Ben Tyree joins Mitch in examining rare live recordings of the magnificent guitarist Pat Martino who we lost since our last live broadcast. If Pat Martino had not existed, some brilliant screenwriter would have had to make him up. But who would have ever believed such a crazy story? What other artist ever brought himself to the top of his game (a highwire act if ever there was one), then fell back to earth due to a near-fatal brain seizure (he had no recollection after it of guitar or even of his own family) and then started from the beginning to teach himself again to be "the guitarists' guitarist"? And too bad the movie could never be made because no one else could play with his flawless chops and immediacy. Pat Martino is an enduring model of how to live on the bandstand. This Monday from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org. The following Monday it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/ #WKCR #JazzAlternatives #DeepFocus #PatMartino #BenTyree #JazzRadio #JazzPodcast #MitchGoldman Photo credit: by Tom Beetz.

Big Fat Five: A Podcast Financially Supported by Big Fat Snare Drum
This week's guest is the incomparable Josh Dion (of Paris Monster and a million other rad things). He's a busy New York cat and I've wanted to get him on for a long time. If you don't know of Josh, he's an independent drummer for than one reason (and yes there's a dad joke coming); h's played with sooo many including John Scofield, Pat Martino, Joe Bonamassa and many others, but, in Paris monster, he plays drums with his left hand, synth with his right hand, and sings lead vocals…now THAT'S independence. Ok. We start off by breaking down a bunch of the songs from his career and then hop into the 5 records that shaped him into the extremely-unique drummer his is today. This was so fun and Josh's drumming superb to say the least. Cheers!

The great Andy Aledort is a fave of this podcast, because he's a super cool guy who is also incredibly generous with his time. He's been on before to talk about his Stevie Ray Vaughan book and to discuss the passing of EVH - but this is the first chance we've gotten to discuss his music!Andy has an amazing new DOUBLE ALBUM (yes you read that right) called "Light of Love". It's a beautiful album that was decades in the making - but well worth the wait.Andy talks all about the new album, including how he got to utilize the famous Double Trouble rhythm section, knowing Stevie Ray, his thoughts on the passing of Pat Martino, and much much more! Great album, even better dude - do it up! Andy Aledort website: http://andyaledort.com/Trading Fours Podcast website: www.tradingfourskc.com
