The Hap Palmer Interview
I have two children both of whom love music. Not because I play contemporary child's music but because of my love of all musics. In fact I have struggled to find any real substantive children's music until I strolled into Desert Industrials and came across Getting to Know Myself and Homemade Band two of the definitive children's albums made by my guest during the fertile landscape of the early 1970's. This music swings and while not an all out funk fest these albums open kids minds to create the...

Jerry Of All Trades
Most people associate Jerry Garcia with the Grateful Dead. And rightfully so, they were the longest touring band in Modern American History. And because they have been dubbed a psychedelic rock band that's what many associate with Jerry's guitar style and sound. However a closer look reveals that Jerry was a curious student who made periodic stops along the way to increase his playing vocabulary. Jam sessions @ the Matrix that Bluegrass with OAITW and TGAMB, Funky Blues with Merl and Legion of M...

The Sonny Fortune Interview
Jake, you got me going into a deep recall. I first met Henry Franklin when he was with Willie Bobo and I was with Mongo Santamaria. Art moves in a strange kind of way. We’re in another kind of reality today as far as the art is concerned. There’s something else that’s kind of in front of everything and is kind of futuristic - electronics, lasers and bright lights and all that kind of stuff. There’s art in there as well, but I’m not necessarily seeing the imagination and the creativity that was i...

The Chester Thompson Interview
I have long sought after Chester Thompson. The guy moved from Ok. City to San Francisco to live the gypsy life. After night gigs at "Jack's on Sutter" and the Fillmore District he was back in a San Francisco bank singing "Your Still A Young Man," which he late busted out with East Bay Funk outfit Tower of Power. He lived among the people and saw how Bill Graham would weave these tremendous multi-racial concerts (Malo, Black Jazz, Jefferson Airplane). You had Chicano, Blacks and Whites all showin...

The Martha Reeves Interview
Wishin and Hopin' The sanctified churches in the south lent themselves to a Afro-Centric form of appreciation for their deity. The first modified drum kits were in the sanctified churches with sticks and tambourines and maybe even an electric guitar. The gospel hymns were infectious and spoke of celebration, hope and spirit. The preachers were often pugnacious and speaking to a congregation that wanted the truth, not the warmed over Anglo/Protestant messages coming from the other side of town. T...

The Howard Wales Interview Set II
My Brain is on a Subway as I head into the vortex of living the live…..do you practice what you preach on stage? Do you remember the cats who accompanied you into battle when the album is credited, or because of insecurity do you take all the credit? These are obviously things that each musician has to deal with in his or her own individual way. My guest today is someone who has gone up against it in his musical life. He played with the Temps and was fortunate enough to be around when the chitli...
