MUSIC= LIFE

Mr. Egan is a treasure.

His guitar on "night music", Wolf..is perfect.

The best gig I have seen and own is a Brecker Bros show from Belgium in 1994. That rhythm section with Dean, James Genus and Rodney Holmes just exploded! There was a certain rawness and grittiness to Dean’s playing…. Not real polished per se, but the notes and melodies he’d play just hit you right in the gut! Dean’s solo on the tune Spherical is the epitome of feeling a sound! I’m glad to have a gig from that band and that night in particular! Dean Brown should be required listening!!

Fantastic interview!

Hey Samo, just wanted to say I’ve really been loving all your interviews. This one was one of my favs and the Tim Berne one was also pretty special but there have been a lot of great ones so thank you and keep it up ❤

❤

Beautiful

Good stuff Anthony is awesome people should check his work on In This Life by Virgil Donati! And the Allan Holdsworth live tour! Thanks Dr Jazz!

Очень интересный пианист, на джазовой сцене Нью- Иорка несомненно один из самых ярких музыкантов.Неделю назад слушал его с группой в Smokie , получил огромное удовольствие.

love this one Samo! Susan is such a unique voice, regardless of instrument. Was lucky enough to see her in Houston in 2000 with Peter Kowald. Had never heard of her at the time but she more than held her own with the great German bassist

The Evans, Gomez, Zigmund Trio is definitely an extension of the Evans, La Faro, Motian Trio! Thank You

I like his playing if your love pat Metheny then there is no way you love his sound

Really enjoyed this. Saw Anat play live recently. She was wonderful!

Im absolutely amazed how much music you know of the people you interviewing and that you already interviewed 460 of them.

sounds fantastic, but it looks like the guitar player does not physically fit in this room

I completeley agree with him, however, the raw power and aggression was what made Tribal Tech so appealing.

🎉awesome 👌🏾 🎶 musical content within these lines , thanks for this interview

No sound?

kicking uss

Jon is killer. Thanks for sharing

as to what's said around five minutes in, there were people in the band that would never be in a band together normally, I submit to you 1976 with Bianca Thornton and Eddie Jobson in the band. Albert Wing maybe shouldn't ever have been in a band with Scott Thunes...

Those were the best years with Pete & Jaco.

No doubt ❤

Hello Central!

This is one of the first recordings that I heard Kurt play on. Once I listened to it I was hooked. This album is so killin'!! Thanks for putting this up for everyone to hear. I thought it was actually a mainstream release.

Moses is a living legend whose music needs to be recognized big time!

Cherry's first three albums for Blue Note are absolute masterpieces - if you are a fan of Jazz, you need to have them: Complete Communion, Where Is Brooklyn?, and Symphony For Improvisors ...... they will spoil you, though - his solo music after that never rose to that level, even if parts of Relativity Suite are quite well done.

Super interview. Jon is a smashing guy. So humble in person.

good insights into evans' processes. really interesting. thanks.

Scott : there is not one kind of music which has nothing to offer. There is - cajka from Serbia let him liste for an hour... 😅

Thanks for this interview. When Jon was in Indianapolis in the early 80’s I was one of his students. I have been so thrilled to see his career unfold over the last 40 years. He is a great person and was an incredible teacher. Such a talented player! I had the opportunity to buy his old Gibson Johnny Smith. He actually gave it to me for a week or so to mess around on. I just couldn’t afford it as a college freshman. Plus, I already owned a Gibson Les Paul Custom so I wasn’t about to sell it. Anyway, such fond memories of a great time with great people. You really made the interview engaging and enjoyable. Thanks again!

Thanks :D

Pat Metheny + Weather Report...now that'd be a show.

That man Sonny Emory! Wow!👏👏👏

Thank you for posting!!! I wish he would come to NY!!!

Inspiring! Thank you

If there's any bass player that comes close to Jaco Pastorius in terms of feel, playing and carrying so much authority on their instrument, it's definitely Mark Egan. He really channels in his spirit so much but still remains very much his own man, an absolute amazing bassist

A bass hero...thanks for this interview, Samo

Love seeing brother Bob, it's been a couple of decades since we last saw each other. A great human being besides a world class musician.

Totally agree - this is a desert island album for me!

I could listen to Jimmy talk for hours. and I have ! LOL Watching him play standards is great to pick up ideas. He's a great teacher. Have a listen to his album 'Like That" with Joey DeFrancesco on Hammond. The tune Pats House is nuts! It's a WTF moment for sure. That and Unit Seven are standouts on a great album. I hope he keeps playing and teaching.

Sonny Emory's playing is SO precise

Just talked to him last night, and he’s so humble and lovable. He’s in Norman Oklahoma this weekend.

How did a band like the one with Steve, John and Adam get gigs in Europe or even in the US outside of New York?Did they have an agency that booked the gigs for them,if not, how would they do it?

Yay Jimmy!!!!!!

great interview with heavy NYC cat,,, thanks

would be great if you could interview Wadada Leo Smith, Stephen Haynes or Taylor Ho Bynum

Fire Jelly is 🔥
