Ep 28 Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band, Melvin Seals and JGB)

In another very special episode recorded in Jamaica, Rob sits down with the one and only Melvin Seals. Melvin shares his experiences working with Jerry Garcia and offers some great insight into their relationship both on and off the stage and the importance of keeping the Garcia band repertoire alive through JGB. We go way back and hear how Melvin first got into music through the church and he explains the adjustments he had to make coming from that background into the world of improvisation, plus much more.
Also on the show is Mark Hitchcock of the Buffalo Dead All Stars and we feature Tampa Red in the Black Music Moment.
