Matt Bissonette. You've run across his name next to folks like Joe Satriani, Brian Wilson, Don Henley, Steve Vai, David Lee Roth, Elton John... SO many more actually. Also - Matt, along with his brother Greg and Andy Timmons make up the core of The Reddcoats, with elements of rock, funk and fusion. An INCREDIBLE mix of folks who are always playing with other bands, but enjoy getting together to play what they really want. We'll hear about and from their first two releases, fittingly, Reddcoats I and Reddcoats II.

Continuing the conversation about a fantastic new album, Father Son!A mix wonderful, wonderful treatments of standards and originals, as well as one cover that I don’t think I ever heard in the world of jazz.  this is one that belongs in any respectable jazz library, and the conversation was both informative and fun. Lots of laughter.

Father Son - from Nathan & Noah East, out for just a little over a month now. David Fleming speaks with both Nathan and Noah, with 95% of the conversation on the new album. Several incredible original mainstream jazz compositions. Outstanding covers as well including Killer Joe, Over the Rainbow, My Favorite Things, Yesterday, and more. A personalized treatment puts it mildly. Some of these have such an incredible touch on them that you would think that they weren’t covers at all.

It’s not ALL classical and operatic with Golda though. She also loves jazz, pop, broadway standards… even Madonna.Having returned from Italy close to a year ago, where she continued her studies with amongst the most elite, Golda now has a series of concerts going from near the end of May through the summer. The first one is free and is coming up rather soon. David Fleming speaks with Golda about the series of concerts as well as a bit of her past.

On this edition of KVC-Arts David Fleming speaks with Andy Timmons about his 2025 release, Recovery, just out. Like Electric Truth, this is a mostly instrumental album with many moods, layers, and color to take you to and through SO many places. Kicking off with a tune written for Jeff Beck and flowing from there. We'll also hear about a piece he had written with Peter Frampton in mind… then ended up having Frampton perform ON it!
