Hybrid Jazz - With Daniel Bennett & Michael Bowie!
Two of the most creative artists in Jazz, etc. (that EYE know, anyway!) are on the show this Tuesday, May 7th, 2013.
Daniel Bennett starts the fun at one - and he has great news: The Daniel Bennett Group's "Clockhead Goes to Camp" is available for your grateful ears :) Since 2004, Daniel has been turning out music to buy, but he has been playing for a lot longer. A multi-instrumentalis who zeroed in on saxophone at age ten and writes music via guitar, this highly regarded New Yorker wears even MORE hats. Besides leading his intuitive band, he also produces and promotes shows other than his own. He's quite good at being the spokesperson for these events - and it doesn't hurt when he shows up for them - Daniel is quite handsome as well as a talented/progressive musician. Who will not allow boxes to deter his vision. The Boston Herald calls what he does "Exploratory, Folk-Jazz Hybrid." Hah! Why do you think he's on the show?!
DC based Uber Bassist, Michael Bowie, is clearly one of those stunningly capable players that make your jaw drop. Some of the TRULY great in Jazz have thought so: Betty Carter, Abbey Lincoln, Sarah Vaughn - because Michael played for them. By request. He studied under the great Keter Betts, is a National Endowment For Jazz Studies Award Winner, and has created "organic" (he loves that word!) repercussions from this region to international circles. Hey, if you're playing with Dee Dee Bridgewater, you're getting recognition - okay? Here's the reason why Michael is visiting: he has a group, Sine Qua Non (we'll ask questions :) Comprised of some of the most brilliant musical minds heard anywhere, this is (Michael's words), "Classical theory and fused with rhythms from around the world." As we say on Facebook: OMG - at three!
Get ready!

Hybrid Jazz - with Earl Carter & Brian Simpson!
A busy Tuesday in late April! We have a Washington, D.C., based guitarist/bassist/saxophonist featured first. At the top of the second hour, Earl Carter discusses his new project, "Welcome Back, Carter!" Having known this multi-gifted talent for several years, it's a pleasure to watch his star rise way past the Mid-Atlantic. He recently completed his fifth three-month stint in Ethiopia, where he plays at the five-star Sheraton Addis. Earl was handpicked by one of the wealthiest men in the world, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Al-Amoud, to be his most prestigious hotel band. Now back home, Earl is prepping for his CD release party, where he will no doubt gather some of those with whom he has shared the stage. Speaking of which, some of those include Angela Bofill, Pieces of a Dream, Spyro Gyra - and the best of Go Go, Soul and Jazz acts in the country. A front man as well as side, our friend is also known as a "go-to" Producer in the region.
You are probably not a stranger to the name Brian Simpson! The popular keyboardist/composer/studio musician has been immersed in the contemporary Jazz scene since he graduated from Northern Illinois University. Moving to L.A., he found musical kinship with Norman Brown and Everette Harp, among others. And took breaks from his serious intent on Jazz to tour with Teena Marie, Sheena Easton and Janet Jackson. In the 90's, he wrote the #1 hit for Surface, "The First Time" - and that's the decade when we glimpsed the foreshadowing of the Simpson Sound that was emerging. "Just What You Need" is dropping on April 23rd, 2013 - and that's the sentiment that many have regarding Brian - including Dave Koz, who has employed our guest as Musical Director for over a decade. Brian will be coming to Rehoboth Beach for his release party, but will spend time with us before he does - join us :)

Twisted South Lunch Bytes with The Wanton Bishops
To experience the "essential, eccentric south" real & raw go to http://www.twistedsouth.com
The Wanton Bishops are "Rock, blues, bourbon and sweat."
The Wanton Bishops are a two-piece blues and garage rock revival band from Beirut, Lebanon. The band is made up of Nader (vocals, harmonica, guitar, keyboards) and Eddy (guitar, backing vocals, banjo), who are joined on stage and in the studio by a hired drummer and a bassist. Nader met Eddy in a blues bar in Beirut a couple of years ago. Well, technically, they met outside the bar on the sidewalk in the middle of a fistfight. Luckily, they weren’t punching each other, and their friendship developed over cheap tequila. They eventually decided to form a band together.

EP 06 Chuck Dukowski of Black Flag/SST Records: PUNK IS DEAD
Anti-Social Commentary
Episode # 6
Our guest did not make it today, but some wacky shit did happen on the show anyway... Laura Feline Kat from Legal Weapon and Hugh Asnen of the Hi-Z's expressed their opinions about things...
As the founding member and bassist for Black Flag back in the day, Chuck Dukowski was the man behind epic songs such as: "My War," "What I See," "I've Heard It Before" and "Spray Paint"
Chuck was also co-owner of SST records until the late 90's. SST was the label behind album releases for bands such as Sonic Youth, Minutemen, Hüsker Dü, the Descendants, the Meat Puppets and many more influential bands. I'd say they were instrumental in many successes over the years.
We didn't get to talk to him today but planning on rescheduling this show. Stay tuned.
