Brilliant episode Vinnie. Thank you. Btw, Bill Frisell comes to mind as someone making music that’s accessible to non-musicians yet very appealing to musicians as well.
Greatful for your candid missives. As a drummer I have emence respect. As a young man recording at Ocean Way I met you briefly in the parkinglot at SIR back in '87. You had be rehearsing with Joni? You were very kind and helped me load my stuff into the rental car. Proud of all you have accomplished and share your sentiments about the current state of the industry, or what is left of it. Shine dude...you are still one of the greatest of all time. No-one can take that away from you.
Spot on - thanks :D I was a child in the 1960s, a teenager in the 1970s - and I wouldn't trade with the youth of today. The musical variety that was all the way back to jazz's infancy and up through the 30s, 40s, 50s, and on to the decades when I was a child - is not found in the mainstream today. To hear Bill Evans today, you have to search for special channels, and I think it should be a human right to be presented with such sublime music. Listeners must be educated, but also be open themselves - and a colossal music universe can open up. But nowadays it happens all too rarely.
Zeitgeist indeed! As throughout all history artistic expression reflects the state of humanity and it's safe to say that the current one is a low historic point. Social media is the main culprit in my opinion, they've elevated the dumb and neutered all that's meaningful.
Hey Vinnie, really enjoy the podcasts! Thanks. Would live to know where the restaurant is in Italy that plays Bill Evans? I'm in southern Italy and I actively avoid restaurants because they play the worst kind of pap you could imagine.
Musos do active listening, while Joe Q generally does passive listening. (The listening you do when you're not really listening). Musos delight in hearing more and more on subsequent listens, Joe Q is unlikely to listen twice. Write your music to please yourself. Nobody else is listening.
The formula is based on nursery rhymes. It’s all nursery rhymes always has been always will be. But seriously, isn’t it just a good hook I think they fucked it all away when they quit on the blues. I don’t know it’s my guess. and then… the shit show of music they have out there now may self correct with the advent of interfaces and everybody being a producer on their own maybe the hook and the nursery rhyme will come back. I hope so.! i’ll be sure to check out those mics. I’m just building my studio still working on it. Need some good overheads You’re well spoken, Vinny. Hope this damn channel takes off !
@@breakfastwithvinnie7228 I already did I sent a link to two guitar player, friends of producer and a bass player. I’ll think of more later keep going, bro.

With all the record labels drying up people producing on their own, maybe the shuttles turn around hopefully
@@edjones2199 Yeah good point.

@@bobpeeleondrums yes. Ultimately we have to please ourselves. We may be intuitive but we’re not mind readers.
