Thanks for this. 😂 not the easiest interviewee, you still got some great insight from him 👏

Thank you for this interview, I enjoyed listening to it.

I’d love to have heard him discuss The Almoravid album. Sublime work with the most progressive musicians from 1971.

Thanks for the upload. It was great to hear Joe share his thoughts. The Blue Note jukebox section confirmed my suspicions. Thanks for teasing out the Medina album with Hutcherson. I wish he’d spoken more about the post-bop jazz era of the late 60s / early 70s. that Joe was part of. That to my ears was the high water mark of jazz and Joe played on so many very remarkable and progressive albums of that time. I would have loved to have heard more about the philosophy of spiritual consciousness of what drove that era of music and how they view that from today’s perspective.

This is a great interview. The only thing is that when he starts talking about what mics and where he used to place them on those recordings the conversation quickly takes a different direction. I guess it depends on the recording but what were his most common practices when it comes to micing drums in that mid to late sixties period on those Elektra recordings?

Awesome hang Jake! Thank you!!

Love me some Steve Roach!

I bought Tim"s first album when it came out in 1974, based on hearing the heartfelt "Second Avenue" on KJR radio in Seattle. Been a fan ever since. Great interview with a musical genius!

Your drumming ability and style influenced me very much,thanks

Jake your interviews are all phenomenal. There is no one better than you at this.

In regards to the street performer whose name I couldn't recall, his name is T. T. Fingers

Great singer! My first Santana concert was Alex first tour, Marathon Tour 1980.❤

Go and listen to any night of the fall 79 tour, so apparently after the first tour Billy spoke to Brent and told him he really needs to step up and bring it.. the rest is history.. the man is not even a year in the band and starts guiding some of the jam section.. listen to 10/25/1979 shakedown street! Brent fucking slays it

RIP Uncle John 🎷

Met Johnny when he was in Australia with John Fogerty and again on the Jimmy Barnes Soul Deeper tour Great musician and a nice guy

Given the subject is Mr Feiten, that the interview is invaluable is inevitable. Your interviewing skill moreover unearths material that otherwise would remain buried. I've remained a most ardent fan since Butterfield published Keep on Movin in 1968 when I also witnessed the band at the Fillmore in SF. Your revelation of Feiten playing with Gene Dinwiddie, Dave Sanborn and Bernard Purdie on Don Cooper's 1972 What You Feel is How You Grow is an unexpected bonus. Found this obscure vinyl on eBay. Can't wait to listen to that which but for your journalistic acumen I would remain in the dark. Thank you, Jake. Great work! Gratitude is the Attitude.

No way out POS

The thing that gets me about Ringo. Is that he's left handed, and yet he has such an amazing feel with his right hand.

This interviewer is not paying attention to what Keltner is saying.

I heard Jim Keltner say something like. My family still doesn't know what i do for a living. Not sure of the exact quote.

This is an amazing interview. I've always loved Merl's work with Loggins and Messina and was pleasantly surprised at his honesty.

what year was this interview conducted?

Mike's explanation of *analog vs. digital* reproduction is correct. However it has nothing to do with tubes versus solid state, as there are plenty of analog solid state amps (and the first computer was analog using vacuum tubes :o) The key question is, "When does the resolution of the digital approximation of the analog waveform exceed the resolution of one's ear/brain system?" In other words, "When does it become truly impossible to hear the difference?" I would say the best current digital equipment (e.g. a good $5000 DAC) is already there. But cheap digital and mp3 can drive me right up a wall for exactly the reason Mike points out - it just doesn't sound right, because there's *too much* information missing.

Rock as a Jazz-flavoured cheesy food-product overlaid with pompous, sneering vocals that punch down sarcastically at 'little people' culminating in a decades-long fart of a guitar solo aimed at his open-mouthed and gullible audience. Thanks Frank.

Amazing insights into the Stan Getz by Richie, who was on the road with Stan for three years. Great interview!

Leo Hollister MD was part of an incredible amount of research throughout the 50’s & 60’s with LSD, Red Oil (Delta 8 & 9 THC) along with a numerous other molecules. In 1997 Leo did follow up interviews with a number of the first Psychedelic drug investigators or the first wave researchers in Drug Research. I have the video of his interview with Stephen I. Szara who worked for NIDA.

Curious what Jim thinks of Andy Weil & his treatment of Richard Alpert at Harvard when he tattle tailed on Richard to the department heads. I can’t recall if Ram Dass was at the Halloween weekend Mushroom conference up at Brietenbush in 1999. Andy was there and mom & I cant recall seeing Richard talking to Andy at all… in fact I’m not sure that Richard ever forgave Andy for what he did to Richards career at Harvard….(??)

Cuando en MTV programaban música

I've always loved Billy, be he's wrong on the Trump bashing. I'm disappointed that he'd do that.

I was lucky enough to meet Elvin Jones. I held his briefcase while he signed autographs.

patiently awaiting the next talk, very cool man with a great story

Enjoyed this one thoroughly!

Hal Blaine, Jeff and Joe Porcaro, Emil Richards, Rich Lepore, Al Lepak...that's Hartford gold.

Sipe

Thank you Mr. Feinberg for interviewing my absolute guitar hero. Now I can die in peace...Greetings from Portugal

Russel was amazing! Not only the Aces but Run C&W was so much fun and very clever.......great voice, writer ,performer.....RIP Russel.....

He probably had sex with Nina blackwood

Is this the girl from the bus?

Ron is am Amazing musician

WTF???

don't you know what I have found, maybe you've found it too? today is made up of yesterday and tomorrow

Thank you.

Great to hear your interview with the best jazz producer of the 20th Century. I interviewed Creed in 1977 at KMUW in Wichita Ks. During the same period I also was able to interview Stan Getz And had him sign my Girl from Ipanema. Thanks

Jake, you're damn near doing God's work over here. How on Earth it took *this* long for someone to bother to interview mister Thrall at length like this, will forever be a mystery to me. Incredible job

I saw Weather Report on their Heavy Weather tour. Alex played the drum set very well. He's got a musical gift, for sure. Thanks for this interview.

Parler de Frankie est une perte de temps. Tout ce qui pouvait être dit à son sujet a déjà été dit. Sauf les impressionnantes compétences techniques dont font preuve les musiciens dans cette vidéo 🎖🧙‍♀🦹‍♀

From when? This month?

Pocket’s smooth and vibey

Yep, for sure.......Zappa for Pres. We need more FUN in our politics!!

No Jake the video you saw was not from '73, Chester was only in WR during 1975.
