How was music taught to my guest. He studied music as Prestigious institutions but the music was in the streets and on the bandstand. New a Rules were being created by my guests heroes who were stretching the sonic boundaries playing African Juju Music with acoustic instruments. Playing thesaurus' of scales and free form with a little Kama Sutra mixed in. Melodic improvisation must be swung by the...

My guest today hails from a bastion of regional arts and entertainment. Berkeley California grew out of the Kerouac and Ginsberg beats whose howling gave way to a mindset of creativity by embracing all cultures to form one race, the human race. My guest developed his chops as a Bass player through playing on the bandstand with Salsa De Berkeley and other gigs at Andre's or Jimbo's Bop city or The...

Master composer and musician talks about the backward and misinformed nature of our (US) society.  How the first step towards reconciliation is the way in which history, of this country, is taught in schools. People of color were not the one's who started this problem (sub-human treatment) and can't fix the problem. The hole is deep and "everything is under control" as the Proud Boys mobilize to p...

Musical Arkansas  talk about growing up on the bandstand with Levon Helm.  

Just this past week a buddy of mine gave me a snare drum and a tambourine. I get to go home and play that drum to music good or bad. For a few seconds or maybe a minute I begin to dance, eyes closed in my head knowing that if I start to think about Hangups that it's rhythm interrupted. Still I hold on to that previous time and get a taste of how special being a master professional drummer truly is...

Wollamaloo and tigger to. To the days of swagger and shipwrecks and sound expansion. Stretching peoples minds instead of shrinking them. My guest was at the forefront of Australian Kool swing be it with a piano, tennis balls, mallets or a 7 inch reel box. Joining forces with cats like George Shearing and Miles Davis to reintroduce the world to peace after World War II. And that music swung just li...

Running down the funk with one of its foundations - George Porter. 

During the military dictatorship that engulfed Brazil in the 60s my guest today left the beautiful city of Rio to immigrate to the United States. He grew up with the rhythms that have come to be known as "Bossa Nova" and that craze crept into our national consciousness and the record industry at roughly the same time he came to the US. He was an autodidact and from an early age his ears were never...

So many amazing interviews – thank you so much. I think the two Keltner interviews are among my favorites. Lots of appreciation from me here in London for what you are doing. John Kieffer 

My guests are sound creators of the highest order. They both have been extrapolating off the grid for the last 50 years. One got noticed and appreciated by John Hammond which sparked a career on Columbia. The other was playing with JJ Johnson & an unknown Barbara Streisand @ Champagne Urbana. Both of my guests came to San Francisco in the middle part of the 1960s. They were established jazz mu...
