What Is Elton John Thinking?
The comments from Sir Elton to shut down the internet just really bother me!
What if someone from the piano roll business or the sheet music publisher had told Thomas Edison that the phonograph needed to be destroyed because it was going to ruin the music business. Where would Elton or any other artist be today that succeed [...]

After Hours ~ Exclusive to our Site and Select Affiliates :
This week ... there's fresh listening that includes tracks from trumpeter Allistair Elliott, key-lady Fiona Joy Hawkins, and saxman Kyle Wolverton, as well as a great track from Earl Klugh and The Spice of Life. However, surprisingly that's it for the new music portion of the show as from there on in we've devoted the remainder of the program to the music of one man only - that being Patrick Yandall. We've gone to each of Patrick's releases for a 9-track Then & Now feature; that'll be roughly 20 minutes into the hour - and it's all part and parcel of another great non-stop action-packed fun-filled hour of musical entertainment!!

Patrick Yandall: Born and raised the son of a jazz musician and a long time spent recuperating from a broken hip, led Patrick Yandall to try both trumpet and guitar at the early age of six. Guitar won out with George Benson and Wes Montgomery becoming major influences. Equally adept at progressive rock and the more complex idiom of jazz, the native of Bay City, Michigan was playing underage clubs by his early teens. In the late 70s, he toured with the fusion group Clockwork, before returning to his study of music.

PY Promo Shot !
Based on a summer symposium at Berklee and his admiration for the stylings of Jeff Lorber, Yandall has followed a path based primarily in jazz and blues. In the early 80s, he moved to San Diego, but briefly went back east to attend Central Michigan. Later, Yandall hooked up with Devotion, a band in the style of Earth Wind & Fire that boasted a five-piece horn section - in addition, he also established himself as a premier sessionist and performer in both the L.A. and San Diego areas!
Having launched his solo career back in '92, Yandall has turned prolific of late and with the recent issue of Laws of Groovity has brought his cd output total to nine - all which helps set the stage for a Patrick Yandall Then & Now feature. Now, in truth we've actually run this sort of segment before on a couple of occasions, once back in 2006 on edition #407 and before that on edition #341 in 2004. Nonetheless, in that regard, we're back at it but in this case we're maximizing the PY factor by encompassing all of Yandall's projects with a 9-track installment that will not only be the biggest but undoubtedly also our best to date!!
Beginning with that aforementioned '92 debut, we have in order: Feed the Fire, One Perfect Moment, Marcus Street, On The Cool Side, Heart Promise, and Brazilian Affairs. Even so, we're still only 2/3rds of the way thru. As we span the last three years we're hitting on some of Patrick's finest tracks - the title track from Samoa Soul, Yandall's superb cover of The Allman Brothers classic In Memory of Elizabeth Reed from 1970, as well as Viejo Amigo (translating to "old friend") from Patrick's current Laws of Groovity release. Thereby, with this quick synopsis, we hit some of the
Great jams. Just chillin' to your music.
