In 2011, Daryl Sanders gets the word from "all but one" of the surviving local A-listees who played on Blonde On Blonde---& made Galileo look like a Boy Scout, too much man, let it all hang out:

two months pass...

Maybe not the perfect thread for this, but today I learned about Barry Miles, who released a record as a 14 year old drum prodigy on Charlie Parker's record label (!), featuring his original bebop tunes:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEqgfqTy-Mw

Then he switched to piano, and made fusion records with his *14 year old littler brother on drums* playing like Tony Williams:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIZ_mEdhBs8

Then he was Roberta Flack's music director during the '80s/'90s, with his brother on drums sometimes I think. And apparently his brother Terry Silverlight is a very successful tv composer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Silverlight

Look at them go...

“I had been hesitant to make a follow up to "The Wrecking Crew". But when I was approached with the idea of "The Immediate Family", I didn't think twice. The Immediate Family consists of Danny 'Kootch' Kortchmar Guitar/Vocal, Leland Sklar Bass, Russ Kunkel on Drums, Waddy Wachtel Guitar/Vocal and Steve Postell Guitar/Vocal.”

Oh right.

Pictish in the Woods (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 19 January 2024 23:06 (two months ago) link

A friend showed me this, which is pretty interesting, though the interviewer looks like a distracting cross between Paul Williams and George Lucas:

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 19 January 2024 23:15 (two months ago) link

Kunkel is okay but not revelatory. Wachtel is a legend just for his hairdo.

But Lee Muthaflippin Sklar? That dude gives me a frisson of gratitude every time I reflect on our collective good fortune that we get to co-exist with him. This story alone solidifies his place among the GOATs, where he put a non-functioning "shimmer" switch on his bass.

Yes, Lee Sklar seems like a great guy.

Bulky Pee Pants (Tom D.), Saturday, 20 January 2024 09:59 (two months ago) link

I am not a Beato fanboi but that Tommy Tedesco anecdote is golden.
