    Jason Crosby Interview ~ Part 1

    Joe Poletto talks with Jason Crosby. Over the past three decades Jason Crosby has toured and recorded with some of the biggest names in modern music, from Jackson Browne and Phil Lesh to Father John Misty and Jenny Lewis. Jason has performed at Madison Square Garden, the Grammy Awards, appeared on the Tonight Show and Austin City Limits. He has shared stages with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, and Outkast. Born and raised on Long Island, Jason discovered he had perfect pitch in an early age and he immersed himself in a world of classical music. With his school orchestra, he traveled the world; China, Russia, Australia, and Cuba. But during his teenage years, a fascination with rock, funk, jazz and blues began to take hold, and by the time Jason was in his 20s, he had landed a gig on the road with Grammy winning bassist Oteil Burbridge. Crosby would spend the next 30 years on the road performing with a Who's Who of legendary artists on some of the world's most iconic stages. Along the way he would relocate to California, sign with the artist collective Blue Rose and release his celebrated solo album 'Cryptologic' all while continuing his musical journey.  Produced by: Joe Poletto & Karl Derfler Engineered by: Karl Derfler Production Director: David Gross Production Manager: Michelle Garramone "Later Days" song by The Mother Hips

    Steve Forbert Interview ~ Part 1

    Steve Forbert is one of the few artists who can mesmerize a crowd with nothing but a distinctive voice, an acoustic guitar and his trusty harmonica slung around his neck. More than four decades have passed since Steve first made his way to New York City from Meridian, Mississippi. Steve's debut album 'Alive on Arrival' became one of 1978's most acclaimed records.  Rolling Stone contributing editor David Wild recently reflected that "now or then he would be hard-pressed to find a debut effort that was simultaneously as fresh and accomplished" comparing it to "a great first novel by a young author who somehow managed to split the difference between Mark Twain and JD Salinger." One track from that album, 'Grand Central Station March 18, 1977' earned Steve a spot on the 2014 Village Voice list of the 60 best songs ever written about New York City.
