In 1972, as Miles Davis was rewriting the genetic code of musical possibilities in NYC, Carlos Santana, his labelmate, was doing the exact same thing in San Francisco. Blazing electric keyboard player? Check. Hard-swinging drummer? Check. Inventive electric bassist? Check. Fathomless well of creative ideas and the fearlessness to apply them? Check and double-check. One aspirant who was so moved by this that he picked up a guitar and never put it down was our guest, Vernon Reid.
So did Santana ever play this music live?
Did anyone think to record it?
Did those recordings find their way to the WKCR archives?
Does Vernon Reid have 50 years' worth of introspection on this music to share?
Hmmm... One way to find out! Tune in to Mitch Goldman's Deep Focus with guest Vernon Reid this Monday 11/28 from 6pm to 9pm NYC time on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 or wkcr.org.
Next week it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/
