Eddie Kramer & John McDermott

This week Eddie Kramer joins Jay Jay for his second time on the podcast - the legendary engineer & producer is joined by his friend & business partner, producer/director John McDermott. This episode concentrates on the work that Eddie and John did on the audio restoration & transfer of the music for the Grammy award winning dvd's "The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966." The music and performances embodied on these dvd's are not only some of Jay Jay's favorite musical gems, they are an important historical legacy of American Blues music that must be kept in the conscience of anyone (especially musicians) who seek to learn about the very foundations of what was to become the bedrock of Rock n Roll. Eddie, John & Jay Jay also discuss Jimi Hendrix, their mutual deep love for the Blues, and some of their ongoing projects that are in store for 2022. Don't miss this insightful interview, and be sure to check out the documentary "The American Folk Blues Festival 1962-1966, Vol. 1." Produced & edited by Matthew Mallinger
