The word “mother” gets used a lot in this episode of The Major Scale, and we don’t just mean it in the maternal way. When we heard Dwight Trible’s stunning take on the Beatles psychedelic anthem “Tomorrow Never Knows,” the song wasn’t even half over before we were reaching out for an interview request. His Mothership album blows wigs back as we’ve come to expect from an artist who’s as legendary as his colleagues; ranging from Pharaoh Sanders and Charles Lloyd, to J Dilla and Kamasi Washington, and whom we’ll hear play on the segment.Is this for real, the great Amina Claudine Myers is on our little show?!? Holy mackerel this is a sweet gig. Even sweeter, Hillary Donnell returns to host the back and forth with one of the true titans of American music. They cover Myers’s career, the Winter Jazz Fest, Bessie Smith, and more. If the music doesn’t awe and charm you (how could it not?), then the conversation certainly will.
In episode 121, Simon and Chris welcome Ataan and Keri from Massachusetts as well as Poppa Tom from here in town for three rounds of Simon Time Trivia!
