The rock opera needs some good talent. The energy needs to rise and in order for that to happen you need to command the stage.

My guest was an integral part to one of the greatest touring live ensembles in the history of the western world. He joined Frank Zappa at the tail end of the seventies

He brought that stage presence and his unique styling to a true jazz band. Playing symmetric and asymmetric scales. Different modes and scales and harmonies and melodies within stanzas of the same tune.

My guest has had a prolific solo career of his own touring with different bands and playing music from his soul and getting stuff out of his system.

Ike Willis welcome to the JFS.
