Dans cet épisode, Ombline Roche nous fait découvrir Herbie Hancock, l'une des figures les plus influentes du jazz du XXe siècle. Pianiste de génie, Hancock a su repousser les limites de son instrument, en fusionnant le jazz avec le rock, le funk et même le hip-hop. Enfant prodige de Chicago, il a été marqué par la rencontre avec le légendaire trompettiste Miles Davis, qui lui a appris l'importance de l'écoute et de l'improvisation. Toujours en quête de nouvelles sonorités, Hancock n'a cessé de se réinventer, passant des pianos acoustiques aux synthétiseurs modulaires. Avec des morceaux emblématiques comme "Watermelon Man" et "Rock It", il a jeté les bases du hip-hop et influencé de nombreux artistes. Cet épisode retrace le parcours fascinant de ce géant du jazz, toujours à la pointe de l'innovation musicale.Notre équipe a utilisé un outil d'Intelligence artificielle via les technologies d'Audiomeans© pour accompagner la création de ce contenu écrit.Distribué par Audiomeans.

Episode 71: Harvey Mason Sr. You've heard Harvey Mason Sr., whether you realize it or not. From the iconic grooves of Herbie Hancock's Head Hunters to the GRAMMY-winning “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal, Harvey's drumming has shaped music history across genres, decades, and mediums — albums, film scores, and TV alike. He's not only a musical powerhouse, but a dear friend, and in this episode, we finally sat down to dig into his legendary run — especially his work with Herbie Hancock and the Head Hunters album. Harvey shares the story of how that band came together, the sessions behind Chameleon and Watermelon Man, and why he chose not to tour with them at the height of their success. We also dive into his solo career — how it started, how it evolved, and the surprising role Clive Davis played in making it all happen. Harvey opens up about his long-standing friendships and collaborations with Quincy Jones and Chick Corea, his approach to fatherhood (including raising his sons Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, and Max Mason, former VP of Quincy Jones Productions), and how he built a legacy both on and off the kit. Fun fact: Vic Firth was Harvey's teacher — and Harvey still receives royalties from the early days of Vic Firth drumsticks! We also get into his stunning new album Changing Partners: Trios 2, featuring the likes of Chick Corea, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, James Genus, Dave Grusin, Stanley Clarke. This conversation is a masterclass in musicianship, legacy, and love for the craft. Enjoy my sit-down with the incomparable Harvey Mason Sr. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

Redd Foxx was one funny motherfucker. And, hell on wheels. Apparently, he was the scourge of taxi drivers in Las Vegas, where he lived, worked, and is buried - because he would either throw up in the backseat of their cabs, or refuse to pay his fare, or both. As the “King of the Party Records”, Redd made 50 dirty albums (I have a few on 8 track) - before hitting national gold on Sanford and Son, that show about a junkman and his boy that ran for six seasons, starting in 1972. I just found out that Foxx's birth name actually WAS Sanford - a factoid that makes me smile. If fact everything about him made me smile. I loved it each time he'd clutch his chest feigning a heart attack, and groaning “Elizabeth, I'm comin' to join you, honey!” And, now, hearing Quincy Jone's theme song again, I'm sporting a broad grin again in remembrance.Q was a master of innumerable musical genres, coming up as he did as Dinah Washington's arranger, Sinatra's band leader, Film scorer par excellence, and Michael Jackson's record producer, etc, etc. Here he's channelling Herbie Hancock's “Watermelon Man” - and the funky clavinet makes me want to bob my head along with the syncopation.Although the character of Fred Sanford was supposed to be in his sixties, Redd was only in his 40s when he made Sanford and Son, and he was only 68 when he died in 1991, having exhausted himself through a jam-packed roller-coaster existence. Rumor has it he died broke because the IRS has seized his assets two years earlier, so Eddie Murphy footed the bill to pay for his funeral.  As Arthur Miller once wrote: “Attention must be paid!”

It's a very special episode, screamers! Recently, the Fort Worth Film Club screened Melvin Van Peebles' scathing look at white privilege, 1970s Watermelon Man. At our post-screening discussion we were lucky enough to be joined by Mr. Marcellis Perkins, and Dr. Frederick Gooding Jr. It was a candid, lively, enriching conversation, and we are pleased to present that live recording here.    Next episode we'll be back to wrap up discussion on Hal Hartley and discuss the new(ish) films 'The Book of Clarence,' and 'The Iron Claw.' Until then, enjoy the live conversation with Marcellis and Dr.G.     Keep in touch and read more at whydoesthewilhelmscream.com on instagram @whydoesthewilhelmpod and twitter @whywilhelm Find out more about upcoming Fort Worth Film Club screenings and events at fortworthfilmclub.com and @fortworthfilm Support the next generation of film lovers at reelhousefoundation.org and on facebook reelhousefoundation Artwork by @_mosla_

Playlist   Track Time Start Time Opening and Introduction (Thom Holmes) 11:57 00:00 1.    Herbie Hancock, Herbie Hancock Demonstrates The Rhodes Piano (1973 Rhodes). A terrific flexi-disc produced by Rhodes and narrated by Hancock who tells an interesting story about his first encounter with the instrument on a Miles Davis session and then he walks the keyboard through a series of effects. He speaks with the authority of a proud electronics tinkerer who understands the nuances that make this instrument so beloved by jazz musicians. This flexi-disc was originally delivered in the November 8, 1973 issue of Down Beat magazine. I provide both sides of the disc, in entirety. Tunes included during the demonstration include parts of Watermelon Man, Maiden Voyage, and The Spook. Soloist, Rhodes Electric Piano, Voice, Herbie Hancock. I thought it would be wisest to lead off this podcast with an overview of the Rhodes even though it is out of chronological sequence, being from 1973. We then go back a few years to hear tracks in proper time order. 12:48 11:57 2.    The Don Ellis Orchestra, “Open Beauty” from Electric Bath (1967 Columbia). Alto Saxophone, Flute, Soprano Saxophone, Joe Roccisano, Ruben Leon; Baritone Saxophone, Flute, Bass Clarinet, John Magruder; Bass, Dave Parlato, Frank De La Rosa; Bass, Sitar, Ray Neapolitan; Congas, Bongos, Chino Valdes; Drums, Steve Bohannon; Leader, Trumpet, Don Ellis; Percussion, Alan Estes; Piano, Clavinet, Fender Electric Piano Fender, Mike Lang; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Ron Starr; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Piccolo Flute, Clarinet, Ira Schulman; Timbales, Vibraphone, Percussion , Mark Stevens; Trombone, Dave Sanchez, Ron Myers, Terry Woodson; Trumpet, Alan Weight, Bob Harmon, Ed Warren, Glenn Stuart. 5:33 24:44 3.    Miles Davis, “Stuff” from Miles In The Sky (1968 Columbia). I think this was Miles' first album recorded using the Fender Rhodes, played by Herbie Hancock. See the opening tracks from this podcast for a story about this session from Hancock. Bass, Ron Carter; Drums, Tony Williams; Piano, Fender Electric Piano, Herbie Hancock; Tenor Saxophone, Wayne Shorter; Trumpet, Miles Davis. 16:59 30:14 4.    Joe Zawinul, “The Soul Of A Village (Part II)” from The Rise & Fall Of The Third Stream (1968 Vortex). Zawinul, along with Hancock, was an early adopter of the Fender Rhodes. Cello, Kermit Moore; Double Bass, Richard Davis; Drums, Freddie Waits, Roy McCurdy; Percussion, Warren Smith; Piano, Fender Electric Piano, Joe Zawinul; Tenor Saxophone, Arranged by, William Fischer; Trumpet, Jimmy Owens; Viola, Alfred Brown, Selwart Clarke, Theodore Israel. 4:16 47:10 5.    Oliver Nelson and Steve Allen, “Go Fly a Kite” from Soulful Brass (1968 Impulse). Another Steve Allen record, whom we heard from in part 1 playing the Wurlitzer Electric Piano. Here is a selection from an album on which he plays the Rock-Si-Chord and occasional piano. Arranged by Oliver Nelson; Rock-Si-Chord, piano, Steve Allen; Drums, Jimmy Gordon; session musicians, Barney Kessel, Bobby Bryant, Larry Bunker, Roger Kellaway, Tom Scott; Produced by Bob Thiele. 2:30 51:24 6.    J & K “Mojave” from Betwixt & Between (1969 A&M, CTI). “J” is J.J. Johnson (trombonist) and “K” is Kai Winding (trombonist). Their ensemble included Roger Kellaway playing the electric clavinette. An example of using the clavinet in jazz. This was most likely a Hohner Clavinet Model C which had just been introduced in 1968. Recorded at Van Gelder Studios during late 1968. 2:31 53:54 7.    Albert Ayler, “New Generation” from New Grass (1969 Impulse). An electric harpsichord played by Call Cobbs adds some subtle comping to this buoyant tune written by Ayler, Mary Parks, Rose Marie McCoy. Baritone Saxophone, Buddy Lucas; Design Cover And Liner, Byron Goto, Henry Epstein; Drums, Pretty Purdie; Electric Bass, Bill Folwell; Piano, Electric Harpsichord, Organ, Call Cobbs; Producer, Bob Thiele; Tenor Saxophone, Flute, Seldon Powell; Tenor Saxophone, Vocals, Albert Ayler; Trombone, Garnett Brown; Trumpet, Burt Collins, Joe Newman; Vocals, The Soul Singers. 5:06 56:22 8.    Bill Evans, “I'm All Smiles” from From Left To Right (1970 MGM). Piano, Rhodes Electric Piano, Bill Evans; Bass, John Beal; Conducted, arranged by Michael Leonard; Double Bass, Eddie Gomez; Drums,Marty Morell; Guitar, Sam Brown; Liner Notes, Harold Rhodes, Helen Keane, Michael Leonard; Produced by Helen Keane. For his 24th solo album, the long-established jazz pianist Evans took his turn playing both the Fender Rhodes and Steinway acoustic piano on this album, as two-handed duets no less. Liner notes were written by Harold Rhodes, inventor of the Rhodes Electric Piano. 5:42 1:01:24 9.    Sun Ra And His Intergalactic Research Arkestra, “Black Forest Myth” from It's After The End Of The World - Live At The Donaueschingen And Berlin Festivals (1971 MPS Records). You can hear Sun Ra enticing other-worldly sounds from a Farfisa organ beginning at about 1:35. Recorded in 1970. Of the many electronic keyboards heard elsewhere on this album (and occasionally on this track), here the Farfisa is heard the most. Farfisa organ, Hohner Electra, Hohner Clavinet, Piano, Performer, Rock-Si-Chord, Spacemaster, Minimoog, Voice, composed by, arranged by, Sun Ra; ; Alto Saxophone, Clarinet, Flute, Abshlom Ben Shlomo; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Clarinet, Danny Davis; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Oboe, Piccolo Flute, Drums, Marshall Allen; Baritone Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Flute, Danny Thompson; Baritone Saxophone, Tenor Saxophone, Alto Saxophone, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Flute, Drums, Pat Patrick; Bass, Alejandro Blake Fearon; Bass Clarinet, Robert Cummings; Drums, Lex Humphries; Drums, Oboe, Flute, James Jackson; English Horn, Augustus Browning; Mellophone, Trumpet, Ahk Tal Ebah; Oboe, Bassoon, Bass Clarinet, Leroy Taylor; Percussion African, Other Fireeater, Dancer , Hazoume; Percussion Hand Drums, Nimrod Hunt; Percussion, Other Dancer, Ife Tayo, Math Samba; Photography By, Hans Harzheim; Producer, Liner Notes, Joachim E.

Recorded at Ballon Theater, Cairo, Egypt December 17, 1971. Sun Ra playing several electronic keyboards in turn, the organ, Minimoog, and Rock-si-Chord. What I hear is some organ (Farfisa?) in the opening, then Sun Ra turns to a wild exchange between the Minimoog (monophonic) and Rock-Si-chord (polyphonic) during the second half of the track. Alto Saxophone, Congas, Larry Northington; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Danny Davis, Hakim Rahim; Alto Saxophone, Flute, Oboe, Marshall Allen; Baritone Saxophone, Pat Patrick; Baritone Saxophone, Flute, Danny Thompson; Bass Clarinet, Elo Omoe; Composed By, Arranged By, Piano, Organ, Minimoog, Rock-Si-Chord, Sun Ra; Engineer Recording Engineer, Tam Fiofori; Percussion, Lex Humphries, Tommy Hunter; Photography By, Sam Bankhead; Photography Liner Photo, Mike Evans; Producer, Infinity Inc.

The great jazz funk flutist Bobbi Humphrey released a series of albums around this time that often-featured fantastic synthesizer players. Here you can pick out the Minimoog by Don Preston and the ARP (Odyssey?) by Larry Mizell.

Lmao google the movie title and you'll get what the title means.That aside the boys are back and with another hard hitting episode. We had to start off the right way covering Shake JMJ Day One's, the botching of Wales Bonner drop, speculate on the response to the FoG Athletics drop, and we had a long talk about how the sneaker game has changed.

Movie reviews forever. Seven 70's film to review, for you, today. We've got three greats, one really good, one good, one with a very problematic scene, and one crappy Disney film, that one of our crew has been conditioned by Disney to enjoy more than the other 2 who are less susceptible to the power of the D. That's it were done. Not really but seriously lets roll through them quick. (watermelon man 1970) summing these up today in one sentence each, this one's is. Godfrey Cambridge died way too young, but we can always see him here kicking this movies butt. (Sweet Sweetbacks bad ass song 1971) Another great example of trippy early 70's filmaking, and maybe have someone who's seen it work the remote and skip about 56 seconds of this thing. (Jeremy1973) a newly discovered gem for us that can be described in one word, beautiful. (Five on the black hand side 1973) Rad mother finds her extremely powerful voice and gives sexist asshat a last chance to be cool. (Hestor Street 1975) Kinda reminds a lil of the plot of the last movie, but further back in time, in black and white, and Carol Kane will kick your arse, with acting. (The seduction of Joe Tynan 1979) Title gets it right, also Streep, Alda's cool, but Flippin Streep. (The last flight of Noah's Ark) Not to jump the shark of an upcoming review, but this film is better than escape to witch mountain 2, wait is it? That upside down helicopter was in 2 right? Sorry this is more than one sentence. Thanks for listening friends.

The Watermelon Man has a smashing good time in Nashville, and now it's time to take NASCAR to the streets of Chicago. Brett McMillan welcomes Davey Segal of Sirius/XM NASCAR Radio, and Bruce Martin of Speed Sport.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" have begun a new decade for their retrospective and they're taking aim at the 1970s, the era of autuer directors flexing their creative muscles and for new voices to emerge. They discuss two movies from 1970, the soldiers-as-scoundrels caper "Kelly's Heroes" starring Clint Eastwood and Telly Savalas and Don Rickles, and then "Watermelon Man," a social satire about racism from the vision of director Melvin Van Peebles.  Available on Spotify and Apple Episode 383 includes: -Ben learns about the breaking news of OceanGate's lost sub of billionaires touring the Titanic. Irony explodes.  -Trailer reactions to "3 Body Problem" Netflix series and "Quicksand." Yes, it's a contained thriller about a couple trapped in quicksand, the overly prevalant fear of many a child.  -Nate declares "Elemental" a cute and winning romance from Pixar.  -Is the long-gestating movie "The Flash" an unmitigated disaster? No. Is it good? Not really.  -By the Decade -- 1970 -- "Kelly's Heroes" / "Watermelon Man" -The guys discuss the men-on-a-mission WWII action movie with Clint Eastoowd leading a group of soldiers into enemy territory to rob a German bank of its gold, and then director Melvin Van Peebles' racial satire of a white man who wakes up one day and becomes black.

Fresh off his triumphant homecoming at the 1967 San Francisco International Film Festival, Melvin Van Peebles finds himself in a very different America than the one he left in 1959. There are protests against the Vietnam war, a growing counter culture culminating in the ‘Summer of Love', and The Civil Rights Movement evolving into cries of Black Power. Soaking up this chaos like a sponge, Melvin combines global politics, street conversations, and his favorite 1880's French Singer to create the worlds first hip-hop album, ‘Brer Soul'. From there, he goes to Hollywood for his first and only studio film, ‘Watermelon Man'. Facing oppressive studio oversight, Melvin uses every trick at his disposal to subvert Hollywood's racist pass from the inside out.Email us: behindtheslatepod@gmail.comInstagram: @behindtheslatepodTikTok: @behindtheslatepodYouTube: @behindtheslatepodcastJoin our weekly film club: https://www.instagram.com/arroyofilmclubProducer: Greg KleinschmidtSources:'Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song' by Melvin Van Peebles (1971)'2008 Interview with Red Bull Music Academy': https://www.redbullmusicacademy.com/lectures/melvin-van-peebles-dont-write-a-check-your-ass-cant-cash'Unstoppable: Melvin Van Peebles, Gordon Parks, and Ossie Davis in Conversation': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHuW5bxVamg'Interview with Olumide Productions': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRn9nr5qXOgMarlon Brando Eulogy for Bobby Hutton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g05Sb9CcnEInterview with Reelin In the Years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B48FJ03-tkUVisionary Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeRJLgAbW-4&list=PLCwE4GdJdVRLS1R8f9-G8hihJQKmePpCW&t=116s'How To Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (And Enjoy It)' (2005) Dir.

Mike and I had a great time talking to Bill Summers (who was in Herbie Hancock's band The Headhunters)!  We talk about various drums, his first meeting with Herbie Hancock, and the famous sound Bill created for one of the best known Jazz songs ever ... called Watermelon Man... Bill even demonstrates for us how the sound was created. About Bill: During the 1990s, Summers played with Los Hombres Calientes along with co-leader of the group, trumpeter Irvin Mayfield and Jason Marsalis.  However, Summers has a much longer musical career, often working behind the scenes on film scores for various movies such as The Color Purple and the television miniseries Roots with Quincy Jones.

Joey Logano gets his second NASCAR Cup Championship, while The Watermelon Man has to settle for second. Doug Rice subs for Brett McMillan this week and welcomes Jim Utter of Motorsport.com, and Jamie Little of Fox Sports to the panel.

74 years later and the chaos continues in the world of NASCAR. Sunday's race at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway went down on the wire between Ross Chastain and Joey Logano. Joey got the best of the "Watermelon Man" as he took the checkered flag and became the first of four drivers to punch their ticket to the NASCAR Championship race. However, that wasn't the biggest topic of conversation, Bubba and Larson tangled and had a bit of a shoving moment. Kenny and Rene will talk about the incident and some of NASCAR's inconsistent moments from 2022 and in the past.  Then the duo will give their predictions for this weekend's race at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

On today's episode of our daily NYFF60 edition, director Elvis Mitchell and executive producer Steven Soderbergh discuss Is That Black Enough For You?!?, a Spotlight selection of this year's festival, with NYFF Executive Director Eugene Hernandez. American film critic Elvis Mitchell's kaleidoscopic documentary creates a definitive narrative of the Black revolution in 1970s cinema, from genre films to social realism, from the making of new superstars to the craft of rising auteurs. With Is That Black Enough for You?!? (the title referencing a recurring line from Ossie Davis's 1970 benchmark Cotton Comes to Harlem), Mitchell takes a personal and panoramic approach, expressing his own experiences as a viewer while detailing the cinematic and political histories that led to this extraordinary flowering of a newly ascendant Black heroism. The Learning Tree, Watermelon Man, Shaft, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, Cool Breeze, Sounder, Super Fly, Coffy, The Spook Who Sat by the Door, Claudine, Uptown Saturday Night, Cornbread, Earl and Me, Killer of Sheep, and dozens more are analyzed with Mitchell's customary verve and perspicacity. This is a work of painstaking scholarship that's also thoroughly entertaining, an essential archival document and testament to a period of American film history unlikely to be repeated. Featuring interviews with Margaret Avery, Harry Belafonte, Charles Burnett, Laurence Fishburne, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Suzanne de Passe, Glynn Turman, Billy Dee Williams, Zendaya, and more. A Netflix release.

Cuando Herbie Hancock debutó con Takin Off apenas tenía 22 años. En aquel inmenso disco, editado por Blue Note, aparecía ya Watermelon Man, una de las piezas más reproducidas de la historia del jazz. Con aquel primer trabajo Hancock demostró que tenía un talento fuera de lo normal.Los primeros pasos de la carrera de Hancock estuvieron marcados por su talento, por los enormes músicos que rodearon al joven prodigio y por la innovación. En apenas tres años el pianista editó su debut, My Point of View, Inventions & Dimensions (1963), Empyrean Isles (1964) y el inmenso Maiden Voyage (1965). Una racha tremenda que compaginó con sus grabaciones y giras junto a Davis. Esta semana dedicamos el Sofá Sonoro a recorrer estos primeros discos de la carrera de Herbie Hancock y lo hacemos de la mano del periodista Manuel Recio y con los reportajes de Lucía Taboada.Diez discos eternos de la historia del jazz

We answer the big question kids, sock or donkey? 

This week the boys sat down to discuss all the crazy happenings at Circuit of the Americas. Starting off with breaking down the trucks series ending from the chaos that loomed from Cup Series drivers vs Truck series regulars. How that final set of laps really told us all we needed to know for the rest of the weekend. After the truck series race we showcase what made the Xfinity Series so great compared to the trucks. How again Cup Series drivers vs the lower series fairs when they want more track time vs other drivers in the Cup Series. Watch out as we break into quite the conversation at one point showcasing why we can run the show how we want to compared to other shows out there. The comic relief section kicks in very hard. Last but not least we engage in a great conversation about the Cup Series event from Sunday and how almost nothing we've seen on Road Courses compares to the sights and thrills of the entire race from COTA. Was this the best road course race since Watkins Glen with the infamous battle between Keselowski and Ambrose? Or more along the lines of the first Charlotte Oval race? Let us know! Finally, we give our picks for the upcoming race at Richmond for the seventh race of the season.
