Beginning his recording career in the 1960s as a pianist for some of jazz’s most prolific figures, he went on to lead his own group and release more than a dozen albums during the 1970s and 1980s that explored and redefined not only contemporary jazz but also jazz-funk and jazz-soul music, which later provided popular grooves for rappers.
Big names he collaborated with through the years include Roland Kirk, Pharoah Sanders, Gato Barbieri, Miles Davis, Norman Connors, Mtume, Marcus Miller and Phyllis Hyman. In 2023, he ended a 25-year studio hiatus with Vol. 17 of the Jazz Is Dead series.

A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where’d you get your funk from?
This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations.

Featured in WYGYFF Episode 22: Three of the six members comprising the current lineup of the mighty, irreverent and sometimes outrageous rock and soul band, Fishbone. They are bassist James “Jimi Bills” Jones, guitarist Tracey “Spacey T” Singleton, and trumpeter and vocalist John “JS” Williams. Since the early 1980s Fishbone – which hails from my hometown of Los Angeles – has been thrilling and challenging audiences with its unique musical blend of rock, ska, reggae, soul and funk punctuated by strong vocals and socially conscious lyrics.
The fantastic news is the band is back with its first new studio album in more than 20 years – the excellent Stockholm Syndrome – and out on tour doing shows.
