Q&A with guitar virtuoso Marcelo Paganini, from classic prog rock, with unexpected contemporary harmonic solutions and melodic turns.

"Music is the most powerful form of magic and has the power to change people. And people can change things... The problem is how the right music finds the right people and the fact that there is way too much information, and nobody can deal with all this flow... We are drowning in meaningless stuff and missing on important stuff that could change things... From that chaos the culture is being destroyed because it is falling to reach the right…

"Oh, I miss a lot of things. I must admit that I just don’t find modern music as interesting as the music of the for instance the 60’ and 70’. I mean where’s the new BB King, where’s the new Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin? Who’s here to take over? I can’t see or hear them, but maybe I’m just to old to understand and appreciate modern music."

Q&A with drummer/songwriter Mark Murdock, carrying the innovative torch on Jazz - Prog Rock genre of music

"The artist conveys the times in which we live onto canvas, or in musical composition. You would think there would be a lot of dark colors painted onto the canvas or diminished chords nowadays. Still, I follow my instincts when writing, per bar or measure,  each note leads to a new opening which is what the world is currently doing, waiting for the cure or the next news."

"That the music industry is not full of fools and flakes and greedy bastards and crooks.

If you can’t make music, do what you can to make music happen."

Q&A with veteran saxophonist Brad Jenkins - from Criteria Studios in the early 70s to the San Francisco Rock & Roll scene of the 60s

"Music has a huge impact on everyone’s lives. A song can ease a tear down your cheek as well as bring a smile at the same time. It can take you to a time and place long ago and far away. It can remind you of the calm you desire. Imagine a romantic movie without music to inspire the emotion ahead or a scary movie with dissonant chords that don’t resolve."

Brad Jenkins: Peace, Love &…

Illustrator/artist Fred Carlson talks about his journeys in the art and music, the blues and the impact of art & music

"Art and music affect people emotionally, and in evaluating socio-cultural movements and change emotion almost always trumps rationality. Truth comes from fact and policy results (rational argumentation) but also truth comes from human feelings that come out in song and art (emotional argumentation).

Q&A with multi-talented John Fusco, returned to his musical stomping grounds: blues, soul jazz, and swamp boogie.

"I have always loved Plato's warning that 'Musical innovation is full of danger to the State, for when modes of music change, so do the laws of the State' -- or something like that. Music can have a powerful influence on people and can help make or break a culture. Sometimes in big sweeping ways."
