Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback! 
Thomas Joseph Tedesco was born on July 3, 1930 in Niagara Falls, New York.  Tommy eventually moved to the West Coast, where he became one of the most-sought-after studio musicians between the 1960s and 1980s.  He was primarily a guitar player.  However, he also played mandolin, ukulele, sitar and over twenty other stringed instruments including such unusual instruments as a requinto guitar.  Tedesco was part of the loose collection of the area's leading session musicians later popularly known as The Wrecking Crew, who played on thousands of studio recordings in the 1960s and 1970s, including several hundred Top 40 hits.  
I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and today we focus on guitarist Tommy Tedesco.  So sit back and have a listen to The Wrecking Crew - Part 4!

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback!    

Dozens of excellent musicians, including several skilled percussionists, participated in Los Angeles area session recordings of Top 40 hits during the 1960's and 1970's.  That informal group of sidemen (and one sidewoman) were part of one of the most influential assemblages of session musicians ever pulled together in one room.  They are now referred to as The Wrecking Crew.  I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and today 
- in The Wrecking Crew, Part 2 -  I am going to discuss the contributions of one of those session drummers:  percussionist Hal Blaine.

In the 1960s and 1970s there was a loose collection of ever-changing, Los Angeles-based session musicians who were playing anonymously in the background of many of the top hits of the day.  These musicians were employed for thousands of studio recordings  including several hundred Top 40 hits.  The musicians were viewed with reverence by industry insiders and are now considered to have been one of the most successful and prolific session recording units in music history.  They are now referred to as The Wrecking Crew.

Welcome to Rock & Roll Flashback!  I'm Jumpin' John McDermott, and today we will discuss the role and influence of one of the greatest collections of session musicians ever assembled - The Wrecking Crew!  So sit back and have a listen to The Wrecking Crew - Part 1!
