Vince-Orange-Amps-Shot_crop — Episode 26: The Vince Wilburn Conversation May 20, 2014
Show notes

Vince Wilburn joins the show this week. Mowo! sits down with Vince and talks about growing up in Chicago around one of the richest most creative music scenes in the history of American music. Vince is the nephew of music Legend Miles Davis. He toured and played with his uncle for years following in the footsteps of legends (major shout out to Al Foster!! ) .That experience in and of itself is worth the listen. Nothing is funnier than the thought of Miles Davis sitting in his room after a show and listening to the board tapes of that nights show and breaking walkman headphones wondering whether or not he was gonna buy the band dinner that night based on their performance. ( apparently Miles constantly broke Walkman headphones ). Vince talks about growing up and being mentored by Freddie White. ( Look up Freddie White. Brother of Verdine and Maurice White of Earth Wind and Fire and a major major musician ). Chicago was Earth Wind and Fire , Ramsey Lewis , Chess Records, Eddie Harris , The Blues ……..REAL MUSIC and history….period. The conversation touches on many different topics. It should be noted that Vince (along with his cousins Erin Davis and Cheryl Davis) runs the Miles Davis Estate. A huge responsibility that he takes on with love and respect for the legacy of his family. We love Vince and we hope you do to!

Style: "70's look" — Episode 25: The Joe Satriani Conversation May 13, 2014
Show notes

Dateline 1979: A young Charlie Hunter with his mom stumbles into a local guitar shop in Berkley,CA looking to pick up some basics so he can just know how to play a little guitar. The teacher he would meet that day happened to be a young Joe Satriani who just happened to have a gig teaching local kids how to play guitar. Not metal guitar , not progressive rock guitar. ACTUAL guitar. Nuts and bolts guitar. So it was at Second Hand Guitars that a young Charlie got his ass handed to him on a weekly basis by a slightly older Joe. Joe just so happens to have also studied with Lennie Tristano. Think you know somebody by their body of work or the style the specialize in? You don’t.Not many of you would expect that Joe would be Charlie’s teacher. Both have such distinct styles and sound on their instruments. Says a lot about both Joe’s teaching ability and Charlie’s dedication to learning and developing on his instrument. Joe and Charlie sat down in the lobby of a hotel in New York City that wasn’t gracious enough to give them a quiet place to conduct and interview. Thanks unknown overpriced midtown joint in Manhattan!!! Charlie and Joe speak about Joe’s start of his solo career by putting the expenses of his first record completely on a credit card. Taking a shot on making an instrumental rock guitar album during a time where nobody bought them. Joe invented something. Joe reluctantly taught at the guitar store for ten years and helped shape the styles and playing a many players in the area. An incredible conversation between old friends with a real love of music.

kristyedmunds — Episode 24: The Kristy Edmunds Conversation May 05, 2014
Show notes

Question: Who’s the only artistic director of a major world player arts program that also happens to be able to say they had a full athletic scholarship to Montana State University to play volleyball? I know,this is a gimme question but for those few of you that don’t already know the answer please allow us to introduce you to Kristy Edmunds. Kristy runs Center for The Art Of Performance or as it’s more well known “CAP”. UCLA’s spectacular performing arts center. Mowo! sat down with Kristy and had an entertaining and frank discussion about the experience of running an arts program and her journey as an artist in her own right.While still in her 20’s in 1995 Kristy founded the Portland Institute For the Contemporary Arts (PICA) which is still going strong. Kristy then left the United States and ran the highly creative and influential Melbourne International Arts Festival from 2005-2008. When she finished up her unprecedented 4 year run there she then served as the Deputy Dean of Victorian College of The Arts at The University Of Melbourne. Having said that we’ve reached a new all time high here at the Compared To What Podcast a Dean has joined us and we just used the adjective “unprecedented” …heady stuff for us.The Dean is here so behave or you will be put on double secret probation dear listener. Kristy is the perfect addition to the show. No pretense , no bullshit. Kristy’s a straight shooter who is in it for the love of the experience of discovering and presenting new and bold things in all aspects of art. She is the master of provoking folks into caring about the arts. A real defender of the arts and why they really matter who also happens to want to run a hotdog cart with an open mic. She can also play some mean volleyball. it’s win win people……enjoy!

90142*304 — Episode 23: The Dave Dederer Conversation. Apr 28, 2014
Show notes

Charlie sat down with Dave Dederer and had an incredible chat. You guys may know Dave as the guitarist of The Presidents of The United States Of America. Dave joins Charlie in his hotel room, makes a coffee. Dave is a fascinating individual because he’s managed to find success in both music and in the white collar world. Two very different worlds indeed. He also worked at a communist pizza parlor. Just had to put that out there because I wonder if they had a “Trotsky Pie” and what would be on it. Maybe Dave can answer that? We hear about the changes in Seattle over the years. Dave also tells us about how he came to a crossroads in his late twenties with the creation of The Presidents and the success that came with it after having been a teacher and grad student. It’s a wild thing to find success in making music at that point in your life. You’ll love the way he explains that experience. Fans of the Presidents will also love listening to Charlie’s explanation of the Presidents sound and his complimentary words about their process and what they created. They touch on the using of space in music,Rahsaan Roland Kirk, Nels Cline. We’re proud to have Dave join the merry mix up here at The Compared To What Podcast and hope you enjoy this conversation.

Rocco Smaller — Episode 22: The Rocco Urbisci Conversation Apr 21, 2014
Show notes

What’s the absolute coolest thing that George Carlin and Richard Pryor have in common? ( hint……it wasn’t having heart attacks) ….ok…..The answer is Rocco Urbisci. Rocco worked closely along side Richard Pryor on multiple films and tv shows. He co-wrote “Jo Jo Dancer Your Life Is Calling” with Richard and also Directed the NBC series “The Richard Pryor Show”. As if that wasn’t amazing enough in and of itself, Rocco is also directed all the comedy specials during George Carlin’s amazing run on HBO between 1986 and 2008. Throw in some incredible work with Lily Tomlin on a couple of specials and one woman shows and you begin to see that Rocco has really worked on and helped shape some of the most important comedy of an entire generation. Mowo! got to sit down with Rocco in the intimate setting of The Santa Monica Playhouse (btw, thanks Santa Monica Playhouse for allowing us to use the main stage for this episode very nice of you guys). The two touched on many subjects and Rocco spoke glowingly of both Richard Pryor and George Carlin. He also basically makes it about the artists. He’s NOT about him…..he’s about them. Good times indeed. Enjoy.

33c017f789f01b385ff63b520e97a9c374574a39 — Episode 20: The Dan Epstein Conversation Apr 07, 2014
Show notes

PLAY BALL!!!!! This week we decided that with the new baseball season upon us that Mowo! should sit down with amazing baseball writer Dan Epstein ( hearty cheer heard round the internets). You may know Dan as the author of the definitive book on baseball in the the 1970’s entitled “Big Hair And Plastic Grass-A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America In The Swinging 70’s”. If you don’t know that book , look it up and make sure to read it as it’s an incredible ride through one of the best decades baseball has ever given us. Some of you however may know Dan from his many years of writing about music for Rolling Stone , Revolver and Rhino Record’s “Single Notes”. Dan’s also got a new book coming out called “Stars and Strikes” but we don’t promote anything here at The Compared To What Podcast so you didn’t hear it from us and we’re also not telling you that the book is about the 1976 baseball season. We just don’t roll that way here. Mowo! and Dan sat down and talked some serious 1970’s baseball and growing up collecting baseball cards. Committing the most mundane stats to memory was a badge of honor as children for the two ( for the record Dan has Mowo! beat by a mile in that category ). Now all you need to do is get a mental image of Ron LeFlore roaming the outfield of Tiger Stadium circa 1976 and then hit the play button below. CLICK BELOW TO HEAR THE BEST BASEBALL STORIES EVER TOLD BY DAN EPSTEIN AND MOWO!….

Show notes

Charlie got to sit down with Trombonist Curtis Fowlkes at his home in Brooklyn. You guys may know Curtis as a member of The Jazz Passengers Curtis has also worked extensively with Charlie Haden , Charlie Hunter ( yes that Charlie Hunter! ), The Lounge Lizards , Bill Frisell , John Zorn, Marc Ribot , The Big Apple Circus , and as a member of the house band in Robert Altman’s “Kansas City”(Hal Willner anyone?) but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Curtis. Curtis talks about growing up in Brooklyn in the 60’s and getting on the scene. Wynton Kelly played at his high school prom for example. That’s the Brooklyn we want to know about right? Just a great conversation between two obvious friends. Curtis is just such a great cat can’t say enough good stuff about him. We need WAY more people like Curtis in the music business. Enjoy.

Alekesam_Stills-10-1024x576 — Episode 18: The Stewart Levine Conversation Part 2 Mar 25, 2014
Show notes

This week we continue our conversation with the great Stewart Levine. For those that don’t remember where we left off we had decided to break for lunch. I can now confirm that a Badger Salad was NOT on the menu. Please check out part 1 of the conversation because I don’t want to repeat who and what Stewart Levine is here. During this conversation we cover Stewart’s time producing mega hits in England with Simply Red , Womack & Womack and Jamie Cullum. We also cover Stewart’s very spot on viewpoint of the American Idol show. I don’t want to give anything else away. Just give it a listen , you’ll be glad you did. (Stewart is the one on the left in the photo. His son Sunny is on the right…….two great cats. Oh and yes that’s Levine up top giving us a little taste on the sax.

SidneyGreenmanCTWP — Episode 17: The Sidney Greenman Conversation Mar 17, 2014
Show notes

Charlie got to sit down with his 103 year old grandfather Mr. Sindey Greenman. Born in New York, City in 1911, Sidney remembers clearly the efforts to support the troops in WW I. That’s right I said WW I. He used to bring peach pits to school to support the war effort but you’ll have to listen to the episode to understand why. (it’s kind of amazing actually). Speaking of World Wars, Mr. Greenman also served his country in WW II in the Pacific theater. The son of jewish immigrants from Poland who went on to attend Harvard’s Law School starting in 1928. He’s about as great an example of the “American Dream” as it gets. To say that we are honored to have a guest like this is sort of along the lines of saying “Muhammad Ali was a pretty good boxer”. It’s incredible to hear someone so clearly explain life in the early 20th century in the United States as Sidney does. He vividly remembers horse drawn fire engines and when the site of a plane flying in the air used to stop everyone in their path in amazement . He also got to see Cab Calloway on a kind of regular basis at the Cotton Club. It’s just a fascinating story we hope you all enjoy. Also, if you’ve ever wondered to yourself “Do I know anyone that’s ever seen Ty Cobb play in person?” …..well ,now you do and his name is Sidney Greenman.
