Oct 31, 2024: Today, we're joined by saxophonist and composer Marion Meadows, a leading figure in the contemporary jazz world. He's here to discuss his latest release, , his 17th studio album, which showcases original music and collaborations with artists like Chris "Big Dog" Davis and Paul Brown. In this episode, Meadows also shares stories from his musical journey, explores topics ranging from the transformative power of the arts to his lifelong fascination with science, and reflects on how his music has evolved.

In this episode of the JAZZIZ Podcast, we speak with Vincent Ingala, a leading figure on the contemporary jazz scene, about his new album, Escape With Me, available now on Shanachie Entertainment. Ingala, a talented multi-instrumentalist known primarily for his saxophone skills, plays every instrument heard on the new album, which he also produced and engineered. He composed most of the tracks on its program, except two carefully chosen covers. During our conversation, we delve into the entirety of his creative process and explore the live performance aspect of his art that, as it turns out, was his initial inspiration to pursue a music career.

Most people wouldn’t associate Kenny Loggins with jazz. Best known for his hit songs for movies like Footloose, Caddy Shack and Top Gun, Loggins and Messina and his foray into parent-targeted children’s music, Loggins’  earlier days as a recording artists included long instrumental and improvisational passages with L&M, a few prodigious albums produced by Bob James, projects that included guitarwork from Lee Ritenour, Tommy Tedesco, Steve Khan, Eric Gale, Robben Ford, Hugh McCracken, Dean Parks and Hiram Bullock and a string of albums that featured sax solos from Michael Brecker, David Sanborn and Mark Russo, percussion by Paulinho DaCosta and Ralph McDonald, drummers Steve Gadd and Harvey Mason, bassist Nathan East and vocals by Lani Hall and Patti Austin. Connecting the dots, all four founding members of Fourplay had played on Kenny Loggins albums decades before the band coalesced and Loggins was (no pun intended) an instrumental player in the Zeitgeist of what is now called smooth jazz; casting some of today’s most credible contemporary jazz musicians predating their own solo careers. Publisher Michael Fagien sat down with the iconic singer/songwriter to discuss Loggins’ life, love, work, family and his new book that tells it all on the latest episode of JAZZIZ NOT WHAT YOU THINK.
