The Ed Bogas Interview
Once there was a band called the Blue Velvets. Saul Zantz didn't like the name and made them change it. They eventually settled on Creedence Clearwater and the Fantasy label hit gold. Ed Bogas was hired soon there after and became one of the lead producer and arrangers for all the jazz cats under contract. The funny thing was that he knew next to nothing about jazz. He attributes much of his success to Cal Tjader who had recently resigned with the label. Cal led him by the hand and eventually they sang lines back to each other. A true baptism by fire and some great stories.....

The Reunification of Roy Ayers and Carl Burnett
Transitions are part of Life. You move in and out of collaborations with artists, lovers, and job opportunities. But the genesis of transition stems from the beginning. The fruitful years of hearing new sounds and adding your own accent. The roots of creativity, work ethic and brotherhood.
Part of the goal of the Jake Feinberg Show is to reconnect those who played together in the beginning with a shared conception and goal. The idea of being dedicated to their instruments and holding obligation to nothing else. But through transitions and opportunities these individuals have not connected on any level for sometime. Maybe a chance airport run in but with no real time to reacquaint.
A state of being @ the Same time. Roy Ayers and Carl Burnett....glad to be the bridge. JF
