Zac Rae (Death Cab for Cutie): The Traveling Wilbury's, The Killer, Pearblossom Highway, The Boy Detective Fails and Thelonius Monk

Mitchell Froom

Patrick Warren

Jim Cox

Episode 4 was very special, and centered around legendary producer and keyboardist Mitchell Froom (Elvis Costello, Latin Playboys, Bonnie Raitt) with Patrick Warren (Boogie Nights score, Fiona Apple), legendary session man Jim Cox and contemporary session man Zac Rae.  We talked everything from jam band mentality to FM synth programming to iconic organ solos and the dumbing down of EDM.  As always it was recorded w/ our trusty microphones from Samson &amp; our dedicated engineer John Paterno.  Somehow we forgot to discuss Mitchell Froom's brilliant recent solo piano recording, "A Thousand Days".  Pick it up to discover a different side to this musical living legend.  However we covered tons of other opinions, topics and anecdotes as always!Hope you enjoy!
