The Jake Feinberg Show

Save something for the children, so says my guest, maybe a song for Wounded Knee or the fundamental respect of basic human rights and the historical significance of the indigenous people. Let the Dove Fly Free so says my guest. On the wings of a dove which carries the melodic fiddle of Papa John Creach or riding the tiger with Jimmy Hendrix in a smokey lounge with a Hammond Organ swirling the liquid fusion of musical styles that brought my guest and his long lost bass to the States. He is one of the most unheralded multi instrumentalists to come out of the melting pot that was San Francisco. Every picture tells a story and the one painted by my guest is a blanket of Ansley Dunbar fills, blues piano with Steamhammer, original scores for Documentary and a little late night Moonalice @ The Sail Inn. It reaches beyond the music with my guest who has made it his mission to fight for human rights causes and remember the leaders who fought for their own people. He shares this attitude with Peter Rowan and Grace Slick, David Nelson and Babatunde Olatunji.......save the whales, save the streams, save the drinking water for my kids and yours and do it through music.....strong music from Jon Hiseman, John McLaughlin and Dave Holland.

He Didn’t Have Control ​by David Garland ​When Bigfoot opened up for the Dead in 1968, it was bizarre. They were telling us, “When you walk down the staircase, don’t put your hand on the rail.” We liked LSD, but we figured it was best if we didn’t go out and play on that stuff. That was the big time for us. I had never met Bobby Weir until then. ​Eventually I had an opportunity to get involved with Weir, who I just love. Being in that band was the most fun time of my life ever. Weir let us all profit-share. ​Bobby Cochran was my friend. When Brent Mydland decided he didn’t want to play with the Midnites, I got the opportunity. ​I showed up at rehearsal and they said, “OK, you’re in.” Eventually meeting Alphonso Johnson, Billy Cobham, and Kenny Gradney was amazing. They’re all great players. ​I have really good musical instincts. What I lacked in technique I just shut my eyes and went for it. With Bobby I would jump into the jams without any preconceived idea of what I was going to do. He’d have fragments of tunes, and we’d put them together. That’s the beauty of jazz and that’s the way jazz should be played. ​That band wasn’t like the Dead, because of all the strong personalities. Bobby Weir didn’t have control over that band.
