Tavares Brothers |
The Tavares Brothers Interview – The members of the popular rock group, the Tavares Brothers, are partying with their friends and fans (including members of the Dallas Cowboys) in their trailer, while talking about recording the hit song “Saturday Night Fever” so fast that John Travolta couldn’t dance to the music and explaining that the film company eventually arranged for the Bee Gees to record it, recording music that relates to people (“Simplicity is the key to everything, man”), performing music for the masses (“Music is the universal language”) and about getting arrested once while singing on the street corner (“It may sound funny to you now, but it wasn’t very funny when it happened”).

Sergio Mendez |
The Sergio Mendez Interview – While signing autographs and blowing kisses to his female fans, the Brazilian musician Sergio Mendez pauses long enough to talk about the origination of the popular group, Brazil ’66, playing music with jazz greats like Julian “Cannonball” Adderly and Art Tatum, the popularity of Latin rhythms in today’s jazz-pop scene, playing a concert for fans under a big tent (“It’s like a carnival-type atmosphere”) and making “the big switch” from the original two girl singers to three female vocalists with his recording group.

Lamont McLemore |
The Lamont McLemore Interview – While sitting on the outside of his trailer, enjoying the cool evening breezes and a wine cooler, Lamont McLemore, the originator of the popular recording group, the Fifth Dimension, talks about starting the group, (“I was really trying to stay out of jail”), playing baseball in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system, (“A pitcher is limited with a broken arm”), starting the men’s magazine, Genesis, serving as the photographic editor of Gallery magazine, becoming one of the first black photographers for Harper’s Bizaar, discovering singers Marilyn McCoo and Florence LaRue, the universal appeal through the years of the Fifth Dimension despite personnel changes (“It’s like a family attitude”) and the documentary film NBC-TV produced about his life (“It was wonderful, man, but, then, I could be slightly prejudiced”).

Woody Herman |
The Woody Herman Interview - The late big band musician and band leader Woody Herman relaxes in his dressing room, while talking about playing “one nighters” on the road, recording “directly to disc” instead of tape, the popularity of jazz music (”stronger than ever”), the origination of the band name “The Thundering Herd,” using University of Texas at Denton (North Texas) jazz musicians over the years as key sidemen in his band (”simply fantastic players”) and the difference in traveling by “jalopy” on the old highways, which always seemed to be full of “chugholes,” as opposed to “flying high in the skies” in modern times and enjoying air-conditioned comfort (“Your back breaks the same way”).
