No, I’m not afraid to admit that when I was younger I was not aware of the Ellington original, in fact so much so that the first time I heard Ellington’s version I was like “Hey that sounds like an older version of that Steely Dan tune.” O_o. Ah… youth. But alas, I saw the error of my ways, but actually that’s what this serious and this site is about: “Bridging the gap” between generations through this powerful medium of music.

Paul Hardcastle takes on the Steely Dan classic “Do It Again” from his Hardcastle 1 project.

Inaugural episode of the GFM series that hopes to bring you the best in sax in its role in popular music over the last few decades. I must admit the saxophone has been missing somewhat on the contemporary landscape as far as memorable solos or lines go but quite frankly a lot of instruments have been M.I.A. in that regard. I hope you enjoy this classic that features Pete Christlieb on Tenor and to coin a phrase “They don’t write ‘em like that anymore.” Enjoy!

With all the strides that we have made in recording and producing music, it’s good to watch and learn how Grown Folks Music was made as often as you can. The tools utilized for baking(making music) may change over time but grandma’s pound cake recipe still uses the same ingredients for the same result: a great cake. Enjoy!
