Austin James Hicks interview, Listening Lyrics Nov 18th, 2016Fri, 11/18/2016 - 5:05pm | Pieter PastoorOur guest on 11/18/16 was Austin James Hicks. Born in Berkeley, CA.he has been playing guitar since he was 8 and singing since 10. Why does he do this? To him its simple but he is still searching for the right words. "I guess because music is sort of everything. Not everything in sense of it being all I want to do but simply that it sort of feels like it's interwoven so tightly in all aspects of my life that it almost feels silly to talk about it as if it were separate from anything else I do. I like to think that everyone has that in some way with something. But if I were to break it down to simply the act of writing, playing, and performing, it's both what is getting me through this crazy life and what makes this crazy life worth getting through."- from an interview with Federica Buonsante for The Babel Harbinger.

The Bumptet rocks Listening Lyrics on KDRT Sep 30th, 2016Fri, 09/30/2016 - 5:05pm | Pieter PastoorListen now with the BUMPTET in the studio. The Bumptet is a high-octane mix of funk and jazz with a jamband mentality. Their music regularly launches into epic, improvisational sojourns, but not at the expense of arrangements and execution. The group includes some of Sacramento’s finest musicians including Arlyn Anderson, guitar – Barry Eldridge, drums – Andre Fylling, keys – and Jonathan Stoyanoff, bass. The Bumptet is currently in rehearsal for an upcoming EP, which will feature new compositions and concepts the group has been working on. They are also performing in residency at Shine in Sacramento every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month in an effort to build a scene for funk-fusion music. |
Ryan Scott Long "Drum Talk" Sep 23rd, 2016Fri, 09/23/2016 - 5:05pm | Pieter PastoorDrummer/composer Ryan Scott Long continues his life long fascination with music that's led him to study drumming and improvisation with Scott Amendola, Simon Lott, Hamir Atwal, Joshua Smith & William Woodley and many other greats. With his forward-thinking approach powering what may be an exciting new style of drumming, there's a bright future in store for Ryan as he continues to make his mark.
Most recently Ryan released “Just Like We Used To” with his band BroJazz in May of 2016. BroJazz features Ryan on drums, Ben Wallace-Ailsworth on bass and renowned saxophonist Joshua Smith. Oz Fritz describes BroJazz as “a shapeshifting experiment in postmodern jazz that can change course from a heavy, industrial, noisy, trance groove to soft, light, sweet, delicate, waterfall melodies in the blink of an eye; spin your sensibility 180 degrees then drop you off back home with lyrical tenderness and a wink and a smile.” His accomplished unit Booker Long Duo released a self titled EP on November 3rd, 2015 and is available on all major digital distribution sites. The EP features Grammy Award-Winning drummer Thomas Pridgen & guitarist Mike Sopko on “The Chance”. Their self tilted EP marks the second release from the band. Together Booker and Long fuse original compositions, well thought out arrangements of covers they enjoy, and explorative improvisations that keep listeners wanting more. Ryan is proficient in jazz, rock, funk, Latin, hip-hop, and many more styles. Ryan has toured all over the country. |

What can I say; I LOVED THIS SHOW!
Additionally, I'll let you in on a secret, this was the first time that I listened to, not one, but two complete Rap songs -- and enjoyed them. :)
Loved the show and thoroughly enjoyed Cory. Tell him what Michael J Fox once said; "I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business." He was excellent.
the October 3rd show was way too short. What a mellow and superbly classy hour that just blew by. Thanks!
