Grooveblaster Feature on Chillcast #139

9 Comments

As promised, this week I present a special artist feature on loopmaster extraordinaire, The Grooveblaster. Gerry and I spoke via phone about his long musical history and the process of creating his new album, Cities, Streets & Bebop Nights. He shares lots of really interesting stories, and coupled with the tunes, I think this feature will give you a nice portrait of the man behind the music. Warning: I do a say a few naughty words and play a few non-podsafe songs…

i agree, macedonia. i was amazed by his stories! sounds like he’s come out of it stronger, though, so i expect continued good things for the grooveblaster!

great interview with the grooveblaster. the songs included give you a well-rounded view of his musical output, plus hearing the stories behind them offer great insight into how his mind works.

gerry’s been through too damn much. here’s hoping that the new album does well for him…
