Episode 2 - Ledge talks to Malcolm Joseph
Episode 2
Tuesday, 19 January, 2021
Malcolm Joseph has a musical career that has seen him worth with some of the biggest and most ground breaking artists on Planet Earth. As a bass player he has held the groove for Massive Attack, Neneh Cherry and the UBER star that is Grace Jones. Malcolm is also an educator and when the pandemic hit, was in the US setting up a music education facility in New Jersey. I talk to Malcolm about how this pandemic has affected his livelihood and how he has managed to keep the 'wolf from the door.' Malcolm also shares his desires for a more engaged return to work when love events finally happen. He believes that whilst this break has been incredibly challenging, it may help audiences to re-assess their experience with gigs and festivals and enable them to immerse themselves in the moment more as opposed to just filling their Insta feeds. Oh, and there is a bit of bass guitar nerdery in there for good measure - because that is what happens when two bass players are left in a Zoom room for longer than five minutes. Peace, happiness and stay safe. Enjoy. (Oh and don't forget to subscribe.)
