Freedom 4 Donovan

I’ve been following this story for what seems to be…no wait..it HAS BEEN years….I had the opportunity to speak to Ronny Drayton today, not because of his credits and status as a talented musician but because his son, Donovan has been incarcerated for years at Rikers Island without a shred of evidence to prove that he was guilty of anything, nevermind the terrible crime of murder. This conversation lasted a half of an hour and was a very heavy deal, which I know boiled the blood of many of the listeners out there. Please take the time to read Donovan and Ronny’s story written by friend of the proGram, Mr. Greg Tate and when you feel those words, hearing Ronny describe the situation (as deeply as he could), was so intense and emotion filled…..it was meaningful to be a part of it…and my hope and Ronny’s hope is that the next time he and I speak will be to share new music projects he is constantly involved/evolved in….as well as to celebrate the freedom of Donovan. While it stopped seeming important, there was music attached to this conversation…the three songs following the conversation w/Ronny are off a new album you can look into here (to help the cause).

Airfield- Javelin
Same Old Clown- Chico Mann
Asi Soy (Instrumental)- Deela

Hear the flow

I want to thank Mike Dillon for being a guest on the proGram. Mike is one of those musicians who happens to be involved with many projects that I have shared throughout the years. It is always a pleasured reminder when speaking to artists like Mike of why I choose to do radio, and especially the conversation with the artist themselves part. The Mike Dillon Band is in town opening for Umphrey’s McGee at the Orpheum and we discussed what the set up for that would be, including the players in the band, the instrumentation and the way this New Orleans Punk sound works along-side what other bands do. We spoke of the differences his new release “Urn” provides a listener, the experience of dead flowers in a vase vs. live flowers…We even touched on how some of those other projects of his (Garage a Trois, Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade) make their way into this new album and a live show. I also had time to feature some tuneaGe in this second part of the proGram….

Wax Tailor was the House

After having “Wax Tailor” on the proGram to talk about the latest release, and what one could expect from the show on February 6th at the High Noon Saloon, one would think we would have been prepped for the event, you know, be ready for it. But as quick as the stage was on for Wax Tailor, we were brought into a story, a plot-line…an individual experience within a shared doing…..we we all going. We were featured in this film. The set was an experience pieced together by the visual minds eye escape as well as the surveyor of the crowd, the watchers of their surroundings got more than bargained for as well. The infamous WT soundbytes were the laces on the grooved up beat shoes, it held the story tiGht. It all made no…yet sense all at the same time. The music made it happen. The tunes got lush with funky lounged down and up grooves surrounded by a hip hop facilitation by Mattic on the Mic. He said it, he felt it and he meant it. When Charlotte Savary was on the stage, we were lured into a state of the otherworld, a hypnotic voyage where the words were ridden over the music, over the crowd….toGether but solo. When the show came to a close, it was one of those were you gather yourself back, and I swear I saw my name rolling down within the credits.
