I’ve toyed with the idea of creating themed podcasts for
the longest time, and basing each one around an individual producer’s or session
musician’s work has long been at the forefront of my ‘theme’ wish list. I wrote
a short-lived series of articles about producers for Liberation Frequency,
again, focusing on some of their best stuff, but this idea brings me screaming
into the current century.
Episode #1 of our ‘get to know’ series has kicked off with
incredible success with Raphael Saadiq’s production wizardry under our
respective spotlight this month. I say ‘incredible’ success and, by my
standards, I’m not actually exaggerating – the views, plays, favourite-ings,
downloads are increasing by the day so there’s clearly a whole host of Saadiq
fans out there and I’m thrilled to have connected with.
During the podcast, we announced our next producer whose
music I’m chomping at the bit to showcase, and it’s Jack Splash – we’re about 2
weeks away from having that one uploaded, and we’re eyeing several other
producers and musicians for podcasts including Questlove, James Poyser, Thomas
Brenneck, Jay Dee, amongst many others, and with his recent work on Booker T’s
and Trombone Shorty’s respective new albums, I’ve just completed the playlist
for a second show dedicated to Raphael Saadiq’s productions (apologies,
however, as it may be some time before you get to hear that one).
I’ll end with one of the best teases ever… In further
exciting news to readers of The Blue-in-Green Blog, exciting interviews have
just been secured with Jesse Fischer (from Soul Cycle), along with Myron (from
Myron & E). Our exclusive features will be available to readers of the site
over the next few weeks.
