James Genus - Daft Punk to Herbie Hancock
Episode 67
Sunday, 24 November, 2024

It was such a pleasure to sit down with James Genus while he was in town playing with jazz icon Herbie Hancock. Genus' has had an incredible career not only as a first call sideman for the likes of Branford Marsalis, Roy Haynes, Bob James and Chick Corea, but he has held the bass chair at Saturday Night Live (SNL) for nearly 25 years and played on one of the biggest pop albums of the 2000s - Random Access Memories. We get into detail about all of this and more (including THAT story about his stolen Fodera near the end of the interview) so make sure you grab some snacks or drinks and settle in for a great conversation with a modern day bass legend: James Genus Links: INSTA: https://www.instagram.com/basslessonsmelbourne/ MY MUSIC https://open.spotify.com/artist/3DPXwb75biH3nUBuAULz0y FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/bassguitarlessonsmelbourne WEBSITE http://www.basslessonsmelbourne.com
