Iconic double bass player talks about his musical life.

Iconic double bass player talks about his musical life.
From time to time on my Transcendental Journey Towards Re-creation I do interviews that seem to get tucked away in the archives. This is one of the them, its actually an appendage to an earlier interview I did with Mike. http://www.jakefeinbergshow.com/2011/09/jfs-se-the-mike-clark-interview-part-i/ Mike is in a great mood on this one as he travels from the Magic Bag in Detroit to his next show in the Midwest. We talk about playing with Jerry Garcia, Charlie Brown Soundtracks, Gee-Go-Goo and the...

Mind Expanding. A great history lesson. Tommy is a great example of someone in the “music biz” that has woderful taste in music. We seem to have lost that in music today. Mike
Many Westerners are unfamiliar with the history and importance of the diaspora or the disambiguation of African Slaves to the Americans. Some went state side where they were saddled with slavery and abusive treatment. Another cross-section wound up in Cuba and the surrounding Caribbean islands. They created an enclave of traditional dance rhythms based off of the Cleve and what would be dubbed Afro-Cuban Rhythms. My guest today is a product of the Bahamas where he was a professional jockey and d...
Gifted pianist and composer talks about the eternal search for the musical creation and peace.
I sit here today in BBS totally humbled. Humbled by the fact that my searching for authenticity has led me to an iconic figure. I really am awed by the fact that my guest was submerged in one of the greatest regional music scenes in our countries history. The Bay Area - the intermeshing of the ethnic fabric that is/should be this country. This is something I have covered relentlessly on this program but to hear someone speak of it so eloquently is a treat. Sonic Wizardry was abound with the like...

Welcome to a special edition of the JFS. my guest today was part of the Band called the Jazz Crusaders. Unlike most bands that form through connections, serendipity and recommendations my guest today joined forces with guys in his neighborhood in Houston. He knew Joe Sample when he was six years old. He went to his mama's house for meals and Joe did the same. Around the same time he linked up with Wilton Felder and Stix Hooper. This group had southern roots, loyalty was paramount, evolution was ...
Sonship "Woody Theus" His spirit superseded his own being. An individual steeped in scripture and creative energy. The two worked hand and hand. He would allow the light of his god to shine through him when he played. He was a audacious performer, what with the knee high boots, multi-colored drum kit and masked marvel eye wear. He was not shy about his outward appearance and felt it was a necessary part of his transcendent spirit. Sonship didn't party or chase woman like his cadre. He was apt to...

He has...

In relationships you have a first love and chances are you move on and marry someone for reasons other than true love. Once you are married you can't go back to your first love. Returning to your first love is possible in art. A multi-instrumentalist might return to the tenor saxophone after years of playing other wind instruments. A sculpture might return to the paint brush. My guest today is returning to his first true love- singing. After a storied career in Hollywood that spans 30 + playing ...
In my continual search and discovery of all-time great musicians certain songs and albums have helped guide me towards these legends. Through these albums I have been able to put together configurations that made up these sessions. Some of the players have left us but many still remain active and playing. Such is the case with my guest today who played on more then a few albums that put me on this path towards affirmation. He has played w/ Charles Kynard, Phil Upchurch, James Jammerson, Stix Hoo...

Hi Jake, It’s great irony that your interview with Eddie Henderson was posted on my page on Facebook, I’m not sure by whom, but I was glad because Eddie is a contemporary of mine. Though I am so busy with little time to pay attention to social media I kept the posting there and today, 02-13-14, several weeks later, I came across to that again and clicked on it. From the beginning of the interview I knew that I was going to listen to it ‘til the end, don’t matter what else I had to do, and I did....
My guest today is expanding the musical boundaries of the Jake Feinberg Show. He grew up studying classical music however the times were so progressive that he wound up deep in roots music playing with Bill Monroe the father of bluegrass. Before the likes of Jean Luc Ponty he was the pioneer of incorporating the electric violin in jazz/rock settings. This led to the formation of his folk rock conglomeration Seatrain and was followed by collaborations with old follies like Jerry Garcia and David ...
