Text us about this show.There's no shortage of talent when it comes to jazz in NE Wisconsin and The Chalk Down Trio is proof of that. Guitarist Alec Riegsecker, bassist Andrew Wilson, and drummer Ryan Thomas are three very talented young men that have jelled together to make music that bridges the jazz and funk realms. What makes them the musicians they are is their willingness to be open to what older, more seasoned jazzers in the area have to say and learn from them. It doesn't hurt that they also pick up bits and pieces from the other bands they play in and let that inform The Chalk Down Trio's style. This is one jazz combo you'll want to pay attention to."All Of Me*," "People Make The World Go Round†," and "Ugetsu‡" arranged and performed by The Chalk Down Trio℗ 2024 The Chalk Down Trio.

We hand the mic to Kirk Hamilton from the Strong Songs podcast to help us break down the groovy 1973 self-titled release: Tower of Power. We unpack what makes this Oakland funk outfit a generational institution – from David Garibaldi's precision drum fills and Rocco Prestia's machine-gun bass lines to what may be the tightest horn section of all time. We dig into standout tracks like “What Is Hip?” and “Soul Vaccination,” spotlight Lenny Pickett's wild ascent from TOP to SNL, and detail some funny production quirks (like why the drums are panned hard left). It's a full-course tour through funk, soul, and brass brilliance – with a healthy side of stank face.Check out the Strong Songs podcast → https://strongsongspodcast.com/ABOUT OPEN STUDIO------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------As the premier online jazz education platform, with an ever-expanding course library and 20,000+ members, Open Studio (OS) has everything you need to excel and thrive on your jazz journey.Featuring everything from beginner to advanced lessons, engaging courses from A-list instructors, step-by-step curriculum, real-time classes and a thriving and incredibly supportive community, OS is the perfect platform to level up your jazz playing, whether you're a total beginner, or an advanced pro-level improvisor.

  Multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Michael Bogart has deep musical roots which spread through many boundaries as well as a career in music spanning decades.   Known primarily for his trumpet and trombone playing, he played the jazz trumpet chair (and conch shell) with the legendary Maynard Ferguson Big Bop Nouveau Big Band in the late 990's.   From 2000-2009 Michael was the lead trumpet, trombonist and background vocalist for soul super group Tower of Power and can be heard on several of their albums, including the critically acclaimed 40th Anniversary: The Fillmore Auditorium.   He has also recorded with artists as diverse as Aerosmith, Puff Daddy, and his mothers' favorite, Neil Diamond.   After taking a break from touring and recording to retire from the United States Navy, focus on his spiritual path and study jazz at the prestigious Royal Academy of Music in London, Michael has been busy composing and recording his own music.   His music is an earthy blend of soul influenced-straight ahead jazz and Hasidic Jewish nigunim (melodies). As well as being a Jewish Mensch.    

Welcome back to Drummers on Drumming…a podcast powered by Big Fat Snare Drum. I'm back with another installed of Big Fat Five — a segment of the podcast where we dive into the five records that shaped the way great drummers approach their craft. My name is Ben Hilzinger and today's guest is someone whose playing and educational work has impacted me personally in a big way. David Garibaldi is not only the legendary drummer of Tower of Power, but his book Future Sounds has been one of my go-to practice tools ever since my good friend Sarab Singh first turned me onto it. In this conversation, David shares the five records that shaped his unmistakable sound and approach to rhythm. I'm so honored to have him on — let's get into it. I hope you enjoy my chat with David Garibaldi. Cheers! --- Get Your Copy of the Drummers on Drumming Book Today!

I've got Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff of Lettuce on the show this week, and he's bringing the heavy funk vibes to Roadcase!!  Constantly evolving and exploring new boundaries, Lettuce has been at the forefront of funk both in the jam world and in more traditional lanes. Their newly released latest album, Lettuce with the Colorado Symphony Orchestra, is a stunning representation of the melding of classical instrumentation with the funky grooves that Lettuce inhabits, and it's a potent mixture. Shmeeans is a chill dude with a vibe that is one of a super cool funk player, but is just as down-to-earth as it gets. He talks to me about coming up at Berklee School of Music where he met his future bandmates, and we talk about the atypical path of ascendance that Lettuce took to get to where he is today. This is a great conversation and I'm thrilled to have Shmeeans on the Pod!! For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comOr contact Roadcase by email:  info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

Show Notes: In this festive episode of Backstage Bay Area, host Steven Roby sits down with Emilio Castillo, founder and tenor saxophonist of the legendary East Bay soul band Tower of Power. Emilio shares the story behind the band's very first Christmas album, It's Christmas, a soulful and funky collection that brings new life to beloved holiday classics. From “This Christmas” to “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” Emilio talks about their creative process, working with producer Joe Vannelli, and how the band infused their unmistakable Oakland sound into each track. We also get a behind-the-scenes look at Tower of Power's Holidays and Hits Tour, which blends their classic hits with fresh holiday magic. Emilio reflects on their deep connection to Oakland, especially the iconic Fox Theatre, where the band will perform on December 21st. Tune in for an episode filled with music, memories, and a sprinkle of holiday cheer, featuring timeless tracks like “This Christmas,” “Santa Claus is Coming to Town,” and “Silver Bells.” Guest Information: Emilio Castillo Founder and tenor saxophonist of Tower of Power Website: ⁠towerofpower.com⁠ Facebook: ⁠OfficialTowerOfPowerBand⁠ Instagram: ⁠@towerofpower⁠ Call-To-Action:

The GURU has some very harsh words for the Commissioner of Baseball and the greedy owner of the Oakland A's, you both can rot in hell! This situation in Oakland shouldn't have happened. It makes me sad and angry to see this proud franchise and the community suffer due to the ignorance and stupidity of Manfred and Fisher! For any city to lose their sports teams is heartbreaking, but in this case it's just down right WRONG! This situation had an easy fix, but this is the worst part of sports, GREED! The GURU will always recognize the franchise as the Oakland Athletics. The GURU likes the NY Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx to advance to the WNBA Championship. Thanks for listening and enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend. We will be back next week with Episode 238 of the GURU TALKIN SPORTS podcast.

This week heed the call of the sumo wrestling, battle-axe-wielding, baby seal-faced man! All hail Johnny the Mighty Tior!!! Yep, it's another installment of our ongoing series called “Grave Mistakes: They Shoulda Been Huge!!!”. We're talking about a seminal New Wave Of “Not So” British Heavy band turned Power Metal trendsetters: RIOT! Infamous as much for horrible album cover visuals and weird heavy metal mascot, Riot is a true heavy metal tour de force that is still kicking ass in 2024. We focus our listening on the first half of their career from their start in 1977 until their transition to pure power metal in 1990. They were always slightly ahead of the curve and trends, but never achieved the success of many of their peers or bands they influenced. We think RIOT shoulda been huge!!!What is it that we do here at InObscuria? Well, we exhume obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. This episode covers a band clearly in the Lost category for most and forgotten for others. As always, we hope that we turn you on to something new. You can check out the documentary we referenced several times during the show here: three-part documentary: Riot – Fight or Fall, available here on Youtube Songs this week include:Riot – “Warrior” from Rock City (1977)Riot – “Road Racin'” from Narita (1979)Riot – “Don't Hold Back” from Fire Down Under (1981)Riot – “Loanshark” from Restless Breed (1982)Riot - “Born In America” from Born In America (1983)Riot – “Thundersteel” from Thundersteel (1988)Riot – “Little Miss Death” from The Privilege Of Power (1990)Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

HPR All Things Considered host Dave Lawrence welcomes back longtime guest Emilio Castillo from Tower of Power. The sax legend and founder of the band is also a gifted storyteller, and shares fun memories with Dave ahead of their return to Hawaiʻi at the Blue Note July 19 & 20.

To kick off the show, Joe tries to trick David by being on a Insta Live at the same time as recording the pod. That soon falls flat though as David knew anyway. In spite of their discomfort at being ‘live', they plough on regardless and let's just say, things don't go smoothly. But then they get one of the viewers to join them who saves the days with some wonderful words of encouragement - thanks Emma! Then Joe tells David about his magical day at the ceremony to award Sue Johnston the Freedom Of The City Of Liverpool and also explains why he's not going to Thorpe Park today to ride the rollercoasters. David then puts a call-out to the Patreons to see who's been on The Tower Of Power waterslide in Tenerife. After a short wait there are plenty of Chatabiscuits joining them - so let the rollercoaster club commence!

Zach Fell loves Wisconsin music so much that he created, produces, and hosts the Wisconsin Music Podcast which is "amplifying Wisconsin musicians." Like Into The Music, Zach uses WMP to expose local artists to a wider audience literally the world over. But there's a lot more to Zach than WMP—he's a band director, a studio owner, producer, engineer, arranger, and one heck of sax player as is evidenced by the jazz/funk/rock instrumental "I Don't Know" by The Fell Boyzs. So get to know Zach here and then make it a point to catch him on the Wisconsin Music Podcast!Part 2 of this crossover event will publish Tuesday, April 16 on the Wisconsin Music Podcast.

And what can you do with an old boat anchor like this?

Send us a Text Message.Catching up with Ozzie Melendez, our second trombone player, is like being teleported into the heart of the music industry. From his musical beginnings in fourth grade to landing the big gig with Willie Colon's band, Ozzie shares the essence of a musician's journey, and why it's crucial to seize every opportunity to prove oneself. We swap hilarious anecdotes featuring fellow musician Terry Nigrelli and reminisce about Ozzy's inaugural gig tour in Peru. Striding onto the bigger stage, Ozzy takes us backstage, revealing his experiences with big band legends like Bruce Springsteen, Mark Anthony, and Blood Sweat and Tears. The essence of a good gig, he believes, lies in preparation and keen attention. The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as we compare the club dates of the past to the gigs of today and the unique challenges a trombone player faces. As we move towards the end of our discussion, Ozzy peels back the curtain on his collaborations with various musicians, the challenges and the opportunities encountered as a free musician, and the four phases of a musician's life. Tune in to be enlightened about the music industry, the evolution of recording music, and how the industry has drastically changed over the past two decades.Check out Ozzie's publication "Dynamic Flexibility" and his full bio at https://ozziemelendez.com/Check out our collaboration at https://youtu.be/yUqwLFUmg8gSupport the Show.
