*******
"Vidcast" series are produced and directed by veteran music journalist, occasional record producer, and cloud-platform technologist Chris Hoard. It's a first in a series of "vidcasts" featuring master musicians from the "jazz-rock" era still influencing upcoming generations of innovative musicians into the present day of the new millennium. The planned two-part "Voices Electric" documentary will feature interviews Hoard has conducted with the jazz-rock era's most influential and accomplished master musicians who practice "genre blending" – jazz, rock, prog, R&B, electronica, hip hop and beyond. Upcoming vidcasts from Voices Electric Productions started with Soft Machine, and future episodes will feature interviews with Lenny White, Allan Holdsworth, Brand X, The Miles Electric Band (Darryl Jones and Vince Wilburn), Billy Cobham, Thundercat, Peter Erskine, Brian Auger, Kamasi Washington, Stick Men (Tony Levin, Markus Reuter, Pat Mastelotto), and many others. Stay tuned to our Voices Electric Youtube channel!

THE TROUBLE EVERY DAY FUNDRAISER
a message from Z.E.R.O.
The Trouble Coming Every Day Fund Raiser
One way to deal with the Trouble Coming Every Day is to listen to the music that makes you happy.
Another way is to try to help people out in need and to support the efforts of the folks you know and organizations that exist to assist those that need help.
The Zappa Early Renaissance Orchestra is attempting to combine the two by playing a song we love and giving it away to inspire people to donate towards a worthy cause.
This project began as part of a fund raising effort for a studio in SF (https://www.gofundme.com/f/keep-hss-open) who is suffering from the pandemic shut down, but then the protests over police butality began and we expanded our concept.
Given what the song "Trouble Coming Every Day" is about, we couldn't be more on target. Our idea was put it online for free and ask the folks that download it to donate a few dollars to an organization that is against fascism, or racism, or police brutality. Or to give something to folks helping the homeless; or whatever little thing they can do to help. No strings attached, just hope that some people will take the request seriously and help somebody that needs it.
So here you go. There are links below to download a format of your choice. Please enjoy the music and PLEASE donate whatever you can afford to a cause, organization, or human being that needs the help. We are trusting you on this.

MICHAEL LEAGUE
Tonight, or tomorrow, (or a little while ago) depending on when you're reading this.
Michael League : Snarky Puppy is a large band (you probably know this already). We have members from 5 continents who have lived very different experiences, each with a unique perspective based on where they come from and what they have seen. Given what is happening right now in our country (and consequently in different ones around the world), I thought it would be a good thing to bring the members of the band together to have a candid conversation about race and what can be done right now to help in creating a more just and equitable society. We will be joined by Dr. Kimani Nehusi, Professor of Africology and African American Studies at Temple University. Regardless of where you stand on this issue right now, I think it will be a good thing to hear what the members of the band have to say. We hope you can join us.
