"If you can live without it, do something else.... there's no plan B". Thanks Danny for your total commitment and a life of great music....and still making it with The Immediate Family!
I can imagine in many years from now. People everywhere believing in the afterlife when they hear the unmistakable sound of a tele being played by a maestro ringing out all around them and saying….”That’s Danny”. You and fender continuing to be together Danny? Forever I feel..
Danny Kortchmar know’s how to write great rock pop songs, and has a solid blues based approach on his guitar. Huge influence on me for the past fifty years.
The Immediate Family, with Leland Sklar, the workaholic who provides his fans with daily stories and great bass playing from the quarantine situation ...
Another great interview with a member of the Immediate Famoly.I loved how he said if you don't love...maybe its not for you.Like how he talked about Greta Van Fleet he is on top of it .Thank you for a wo derful interview most definitely !!!!
What a treat ❤️ Thank you Dom Mr.Kortchmar was a HUGE part of my musical education...50 yrs on I'm still making a living recording...due in no small part to the integrity and ethic he and the rest of "the section" brought to the projects they played on. Never sounded like a session....always sounded like a great band cos they were.LISTENING and serving the song. Wonderful interview and as we say in Australia."What a nice Bloke"
Three associations he doesn't mention are his brief stint in legendary 60's band *The Fugs* , his later jazz-pop group *Jo Mama* (have both their albums; both great listens), and *The Section* (have both of their albums, too), the jazz-fusion band he formed with Russ Kunkel, Lee Sklar, and Craig Doerge. I had the pleasure of seeing The Section open for the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the early 70's. Having already seen John McLaughlin, seeing Danny live was my primary motivation for going to the show, and they did not disappoint. Glad to see he's still active.
I first became aware of Kootch from my Fugs records. Then I started seeing his name as a session player on other records. He also mentions Charles Larkey
Talk about RIVETING! I love this guy because the music oozes from him and he knows what is really important - writing great songs...coming up with great arrangements...playing with other great players (or even average players). Notice there was no mention or talk of gear. I know that has it's own place, but in the end, it's all the other stuff that moves people.
I had the immense honor of playing guitar for Carol King for one show and it was a wonderful experience. She is an amazing songwriter/musician/singer. She really left her mark.
Hello, which event or concert. I learned so much about the piano just listening to her play for B. B. King on Indianola Mississippi Seeds, the James Taylor albums, and her own. Best of luck with your music, and thanks for the post.
James Peyton It was a fundraiser where we played two sets with a break in between. She was incredibly gracious with us. ruclips.net/video/L0Xf0aDMmsM/видео.html
Great series of videos, thank you so much. These guys are legends. I feel sorry kids these days will never know them. Or their predecessors in the Wrecking Crew etc
Thanks for watching! Be sure to check out The Immediate Family when released, which was done by Denny Tedesco as well with several of the legend musicians we've interviewed.
This dude may have an impressive discography from 40+ years ago. These days his playing is marginal at best. I've listened to his work with the "Immediate Family," his playing, especially the solos are hard on the ears.
guitar playing is great, but today every musician needs to learn how to write music, melodies, lyrics. They need to learn to use some software and how to record and mix. Do it all. Arranging, learn theory and harmony.. SIng also. Its not the 60s anymore
Great interview with a legend. RIP Dom🙏🏻❤️

much thanks. love to Danny. thanks for all the beautiful music. followed you my whole life.
I found it very cool that he mentioned Greta Van Fleet. I hope they’re just scratching the surface of what’s to come. Very talented young guys.

Love his guitar playing on New York minute
He is a legend
Da Kootch, a legend behind the scenes. Check out his solo on "Only Love Is Real" by Carole King for a lesson in tasty playing.
Thanks, that was worthwhile
I remember back in 83 me and Kooch were playing in a band called ....... just kidding. Gotcha !!!

Love slo leak....
Some sound advice here by “the man.”
I wonder if the guys from The War on Drugs have any idea this legend just said he listens to them! Amazing
Great interview. Danny is a player's player. Thanks!

Hey Dom can you do an online interview with an old friend of Kootch? Andy Newmark. That would be fascinating . He now lives in Faversham in Kent.
Hi Danny, long way from Larchmont, NY, huh.
What became of your association with Charley Karp?
Is the video sped up here and there?
he could get a Godfather part.
