Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Jack Wyles is (Just_Seein_Whats_Up).
I studied with the late legendary bassist and composer Jaco Pastorius, and was leader and executive producer of the Oakland,CA band " In The Pocket!",whose C.D.was put into initial nomination for a Grammy in 1993 for Best New Jazz-Fusion Instrumental Group. This new C.D., "Just_Seein_Whats_Up", ranges from funk and hip-hop to swing jazz to rock...from jamming instrumentals to spoken word and rap. It does bend a few genres....but as beatnik / sage Mr Espresso says:
Time for the light to turn green
Maybe change the scene
You know what I mean?
Time to find a new street to walk on
To open up, to drink from the cup.
Re-configure the paradigm of linear time
Flippin, trippin like a spaceship ride
as you slide......
Touch the colors floating by
You can climb above the sublime.
It aint free
but it's worth it to see
the inter-connectivity
of you and me.
Kinda makes you wanna go
BLIP - BLOP
Shoobie Doobie
DRIP - DROP
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Occasionally.....Mostly studio
Your musical influences
Miles Davis, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock
Anything else?
I truly put alot of myself into recording "Just_Seein_Whats_Up"...Hope you enjoy it!
