MIXTUREcast #10: We'll See

Episode 10 of MIXTUREcast covers the first track on the new album - We’ll See. This song has a touch of John McLaughlin guitar and even some Joey DeFrancesco-style B3 playing [thanks to the Roland RD700-sx and Native Instruments Kore B4 softsynth].

This episode also features a special audio guest [or a poltergeist, depending on your point of view], and Tom once again has to translate some “Joey audio engineer speak” into plain English.

We’ll See has a great swing feel that would be excellent for a college or high school jazz combo to pick up. The charts will be available over at MacMusicGuy.com in June 2012 - http://www.MacMusicGuy.com.

There’s even some advice for music students around the 8 minute mark - PAY ATTENTION!

....and along with some gratuitous HeeHaw and Dominican Republic references, there’s mention made of an upcoming contest where you can win some free autographed stuff.

MIXTUREcast #8: Sunday Brunch

It's time for Episode 8 of MIXTUREcast. This time our intrepid musicians rhetorically ask State Bank if they want to sponsor the cd release party - and Joey YET AGAIN tempts fate by invoking the FDA.

In the midst of the silliness are some recollections of writing and recording Sunday Brunch - the first tune the guys wrote together. It has a peaceful Sunday Afternoon kind of vibe.

Joey thinks the A section sounds like Lee Ritenour or Pat Metheny, and the B section like Yellowjackets. What do you think? LEAVE A COMMENT!

The guys also veer off-topic [yet again] to discuss Oceanside, Joey's EP from a  few years ago which featured a puccoloist named Francesco Bonifazi
http://www.thejazzwhistler.com/

The album is named MIXTURE because it's a blending of styles AND sources. - yes, someone asked!

....oh, and a quick apology to Patty Williams, who really DOES have good taste!

....and Have YOU met the jerk who makes things difficult for everybody?

MIXTUREcast 5: Crooked

 Episode FIVE already?

Yup, it's time for another epic episode [try saying that 3 times fast!] of MIXTUREcast, where our heroes --- uh, our -- uh --- the guys attempt to create something out of a mishmash of tracks.

Today's victim - er, track - is called CROOKED.

• Watch and gaze in wonder at Tom's VINTAGE Joey Stuckey Band tshirt.
• Decide if Joey is nuts when he compares Tom's Rhodes playing to Herbie Hancock.
• Watch in amazement as 2 grown men make their chairs bounce. 
• Snicker as a case of mistaken identity means the track title references the wrong jazz standard.
• Your jaw will drop as Tom & Joey discuss using the Take 6 samples from a Roland keyboard…and you will shake your head in amazement as you discover that Angry Birds has really taken over the entire world.
