Fred Wesley: The Legendary Trombonist Who Changed Funk Forever

What’s it like to write funk history alongside James Brown, George Clinton, and Count Basie? In this electrifying episode, Rob Cass sits down with the legendary Fred Wesley — trombonist, composer, and bandleader — whose horn helped shape the very sound of soul, funk, and jazz across generations. From sharing the stage with his father to jamming with Pee Wee Ellis and Maceo Parker, Fred tells it all with groove, grit, and a lot of heart

Thank you so much. Feels like I’ve been listening to Fred for most of my life but that’s the first time I can remember seeing him interviewed.

What a lovely fella and wise old cat he is now. Wears those years very lightly. I could listen to him talk for hours.

Will deffo be buying his book. :sign_of_the_horns:
