DJ is a great guy. I picked him up, as an UBER driver, in KCMO in 2015 when the Stones were playing there because Keith wanted BBQ. He gave me tickets to the show. We had a very long interesting conversation on the way up and back. Thanks for the inspiration Darryl
Anika is amazing and I am keen to hear her new band. I would recommend her to watch the Nate Smith interview from last year (Newport Sessions) about the benefits of dedicated tour management. Which allows him to focus more on the creative side. Apart from that it is awesome that she can actually make a business from her online work, and has time to teach and learn. Great interview as always. I am also hoping to see an interview with another German drum legend, Wolfgang Haffner, who has had an extraordinary career playing with the world's greatest, but like Anika also has a very creative solo career.
It's great to see Mr. Abraham Laboriel spotlighted herel--one of the best electric bassists on the planet. I always enjoyed his work with Koinonea. Such a humble gentleman.Wonderful anecdote here ...very well said indeed. Thank you so much for sharing! Blessings to all.🙏🏿😊
"In Gadd We Trust". Bass Guitarist's Union 🙌🏿 I watched my favourite Bass Guitarist Anthony Jackson talking about Steve Gadd, what a great tribute from one giant to another. Please interview Anthony Jackson 🙏🏿 Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
I loved Miles’ late career music - especially You’re Under Arrest and Decoy - on which Darryl played - his band was always tight, the arrangements fresh, and the material challenging.
I literally said that a few weeks ago about Ray Parker Jr when someone had done a great ghostbuster cover. The guy who made the video was obviously an accomplished guitarist too. So I wrote: “it’s a shame that Ray Parker Jr is so under appreciated for the true genius he posses. Everybody seems to think he’s this one day fly doing the GB song, but when you see what he contributed in sessions and his incredible versatility, it’s bizarre!
Mr. Jones if you’re reading this, I had the good fortune of seeing you with the Davis band in Fukuoka Japan the summer of 1987. I’d only seen you once prior, on the Sting video of Let them free. I was blown away!!!!!!!!
in 1986, probably after zappa was already telling anybody who'd listen, there was a book written (money for nothing by simon garfield) that discussed the importance of retaining publishing via a publishing company. few listened back then (80s & 90s) - not even prince, initially. fast fwd to now and still few learned. maybe ul have to give up your masters (for the right deal). but never give up publishing. there really is no need to.
I had an op recently. One of the doctors found out I was a drummer and asked "who the best drummer is?". I said Vinnie, he said "Who? Well anyway, its Neil Peart". It was at that moment, I knew he was clueless.
I played bass on Jimmy Smith’s last Quartet tour of Europe with Phil Upchurch on Guitar and Jimmy June Bug Jackson on Drums. That was about 20 years ago and it was a lot of fun!
The funny thing about listening to a wide range of music is that your musical world just gets bigger and bigger. Example: I found out about Jimmy Smith years ago through the Beastie Boys. I can't remember exactly what it was they said or referenced, but it led me into Groove Holmes and Jimmy Smith and from them into Jimmy McGriff and from him on and on. It's a mistake to limit what you listen to. Just last night my son was playing some They Might Be Giants stuff for me that I'd never heard before. Bigger and bigger world.

Because of his curiosity and openness, the interviewer has brought a lot of insight to those who don’t know much about the subject but are also curious and open to learn it from Mr. jones himself. (One could also pose the thought that Mr. Jones found someone to ask the question so he could elaborate on the personal story that is interesting for any listener.) So many musicians ignore the reason why one makes music. They often focus their attention on training and the technical aspects of their craft. When one has a need to express themselves musically more than anything else in the world than deep communication between humans is possible. That’s what Miles Davis was listening for in Mr. Jones’s Bb Blues - and everything anybody else ever played.
@Danielsobotta.. Yes he was, they did the Sting album Dream of the Blue Turtles with friend of mine Omar Hakim on drums, Darryl (bass), Branford Marsalis (sax, etc.) & Kenny Kirkland (keyboards)..I saw Kenny Kirkland many years ago at the Panasonic Jazz Festival in NYC playing for Kenny Garrett with Jeff "Tain" Watts on drums of which whom I met. Sadly not long after that show Kenny Kirkland passed away in his hotel room. R.I.P Mr. Kirkland..you will always be missed.
