TODAY LIVE! SPECIAL PERSON - SPECIAL TIME ** 6 PM PT**

Leland Sklar, one of my favorite people on the planet, and no doubt many of yours, too, has played with everybody on everything: Phil Collins, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Billy Cobham, Carole King, Hall & Oates, Crosby Stills, & Nash... on and on and on... to the very present, with his compatriots in The Immediate Family: Russ Kunkel, Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, and Steve Postel. They’ve got a new album, live shows, and Denny Tedesco's brilliant doc.

There’s been loads of TV, sessions, and touring, the man never stops, not even in COVID- he amped it up! His YouTube channel is HUGE. An active activist, he's stood up, compromising his own civil rights all over the place. 

We’ll be talking about it all. The man gives great story and has the sweetest heart. Everybody Loves Lee! We'll talk about the book, in which I'm honored to be included, too. Win, win, win!

Did I mention I adore the man?

🎶 "Oo-dla-ba-doo" - Maya Angelou / Miss Calypso / 1957 / Liberty Records / LRP 3028 - Maya Angelou, 4 April 1928 - 28 May 2014. An early and largely forgotten artifact of Angelou's career, Miss Calypso got a second chance at life with a CD re-issue on Scamp Records in 1995 thanks to the lounge and exotica revival of the time. That said, this is an original 1957 Liberty Records pressing. - #birthday #mayaangelou #misscalypso #1957 #libertyrecords #spectrasonic #spectrasonicsound #albello #tommytedesco #calypso #scamprecords #vinyl #records #vinylrecord #vinylrecords #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #vinylcollection #turntable #vinylcollective #nowplaying #nowspinning #recordcollection #thisdisco

Whaddya get when you put 5 rock icons and a rockstar filmmaker together on a Zoom screen… besides a ridiculously hip Brady Brunch, Hollywood totally not Squares scene? Nirvana - sans Kurt.  Sitting down with The Immediate Family, Danny Kortchmar (Kootch), Leland Sklar, Waddy Wachtel, Russell Kunkel, and Steve Postell, plus documentarian, Denny Tedesco, could have been a chaotic mess, instead. like the brilliance that pervades their music and art, the time flew like smooth jazz, only more like great rock ’n roll… cause that’s way more fun. 

We talked current events, their upcoming album, tentatively titled, The Best Record Ever Made, the one cover they’ve covered, to be the first single, their hitting the festivals now documentary, Immediate Family, featuring James Taylor, Keith Richards, Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, and Stevie Nicks, to name some, touring in real-time, with Lyle Lovett and Stevie Nicks, and the toll COVID is taking, upcoming shows in Los Angeles at all the Canyon Clubs in November (for the dates, ask Steve), how they first assembled 50 years ago, became The Section, and how they reassembled, added Steve and became The Immediate Family. Denny gave us insights into the making of the movie, and the boys tossed out favorite parts. 

For anyone who grew up with or now listens to rock ’n roll, these players define the music of our generation. Pretty much every record in heavy rotation on my turntable through the years was graced with their genius. And now, the brothers come together front and center, featuring not only the hits they helped create, but new songs that will no doubt blaze a similar trail. They rock like hell and together they may just be the best rock ’n roll band any of them has ever been a part of. 

Check out the doc preview: https://immediatefamilyfilm.com/

I can’t wait for the thing. I love these guys so damn much as people and as artists. Still flying from the time spent in their collective good company, and I haven’t boarded a plane in 3 years. Long live rock!

Today! Live @5 - Iconic musicians with history, and for the fun of it, I've got some history with some of them, as well. The Immediate Family, oft known as The Section, has played with pretty much every artist I've seen Live and played on most of the albums I've listened to throughout my life. Iconic barely begins to describe the legacy of Danny Kortchmar (Kootch), Leland Sklar, Waddy Wachtel, Russell Kunkel, and my 35+ yrs long friend, more recent addition, Steve Postell. Together now, front and center themselves, first with the music they created with, and for others, and now with new music and The Denny Tedesco documentary Immediate Family, winning festivals and soon to drop, they're doing what they love, loving it, in each other's great company. Happiness is... 

The Immediate Family can be heard on albums from Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks, Keith Richards, Warren Zevon, Graham Nash, Neil Young, David Crosby, and many, many, many more. Kortchmar, Sklar, and Kunkel have worked together since the early 70s and made up three-quarters of The Section, best known for both their studio and live work in support of some of the top-selling singer/songwriters and solo singers in the history of music, as well as their own acclaimed instrumental albums. (By the mid-70s, they were later joined by Wachtel). Collectively, these musicians helped define the sound of a generation. Talkin' 'but my generation.

Danny Kortchmar’s credits as guitarist, producer, songwriter, and session musician include work with James Taylor, Don Henley, Carole King, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, and Billy Joel, among many others. As a songwriter, Kortchmar has both written alone or collaborated with numerous artists, penning indelible tracks such as Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry,” “All She Wants to Do Is Dance,” and “New York Minute,” as well as Jackson Browne’s “Somebody’s Baby” and “Shaky Town,” to name a few.

Legendary guitarist, producer, and songwriter Waddy Wachtel has worked with many of the same artists as Kortchmar, as well as artists like the Rolling Stones, Keith Richards, Stevie Nicks, Randy Newman, Bryan Ferry, and the late Warren Zevon, with whom he co-wrote and produced a number of hit songs including “Werewolves of London,” which The Immediate Family has included in their setlist. Wachtel’s production work includes Keith Richards, Bryan Ferry, George Thorogood, and The Church, and he has composed numerous scores for feature films. 

Leland Sklar has performed in the studio and on tour with Phil Collins, James Taylor, Toto, and Billy Cobham, to name a few. Actually, Sklar has the most credits of any of the members of The Immediate Family, having worked on over 2,600 albums.

Russ Kunkel’s credits include Jackson Browne, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Bob Dylan, Stevie Nicks, Lyle Lovett, and dozens more. He has created and co-produced film scores for Mike Nichols’ Heartburn, Joyce Chopra’s Smooth Talk, and New World Films’ Certain Fury. Production work includes Clannad, Jimmy Buffett, The Derek Trucks Band, Dan Fogelberg, Aaron Neville, and others.

Steve Postell is a seasoned touring and session player who has worked with David Crosby, Jennifer Warnes, Michael McDonald, John Oates, Robben Ford, and many others. He recorded and mixed the final 3 performances of Ravi Shankar, and has scored films including “Dying To Know” about Timothy Leary & Ram Dass and narrated by Robert Redford.  He has released several solo records, including the critically acclaimed “Time Still Knockin’” on Immergent Records. 

The Immediate Family’s new EP Live from Telefunken Soundstage is a six-song live recording captured at Telefunken’s Connecticut headquarters on November 14, 2021 during a stop in the group’s recent nationwide tour.
