This week: Bobbee Zeno talks with guitarists Phil Upchurch and Gregg Wright.
PHIL UPCHURCH – A prolific guitarist whose distinctively funky, blues-steeped jazz style has graced well over a thousand recordings across the popular music spectrum, the legendary Phil Upchurch has also recorded 27 albums of his own leadership, as well as movie soundtracks. Jazz enthusiasts love and respect Upchurch for his singular approach to composition. He’s been a prominent figure in the blues, soul, R&B and jazz circles for more than 50 years.

GREGG WRIGHT – Wright played with two of the biggest record sellers of all time: Michael Jackson and Fleetwood Mac. Audiences from Monterey to Serbia have witnessed him bring that same skill and intensity to his live shows as leader of the awesomely tight Gregg Wright Blues Band. Blues Matters magazine says Wright’s 2009 CD “King of the Rockin’ Blues!” places him in the top echelons of the great blues guitarists. Read more here.
