This week Derick met with Keith Cheek, a flutist and saxophonist who plays for R&B/neo-soul band Adebisi and Jay Si Proof, a quintet inspired by contemporary funk and groove music. They discuss Keith’s musical origin story, the best and worst green-room environments, and the craziest crowds he has played in front of before discussing the consequences of the 2018/2019 government shutdown, go over Hidden Trax of the Week, talk Keith’s favorite food joints in PDX, separating a musician’s music from their individual beliefs and opinions, and lastly, hashing over Portland social climate.
