NOW YOU'RE INSIDE THE MUSIC
Inside MusiCast (IMC) has provided music education, opinion, industry insights and music-news content since 2006. We’ve created and produced hundreds of insightful interviews with the music industry’s leading producers, musicians, singers and writers/composers—young and old. Our focus is also to point the spotlight to creators and collaborators who are often “behind th

e scenes” of the music-creating process. We help them tell their stories while working in the recording, film, education, audio and marketing arenas of music. Inside MusiCast is a non-profit program of Escala Foundation, a 501c3 entity. Your donations are tax deductible.

Sometimes ideas are born when they're least expected. For Eddy and me, it was a Saturday morning breakfast between two music-loving friends that sparked the idea for Inside MusiCast. We were already Correspondents for the Toto Network, a social media-style web site designed by Scott Page and his company NewMBC, so we decided we'd start with Scott as our first guest and see where this would lead. 20 years, and over 330 episodes later, here we are - still chatting with some of the best musicians, producers, and engineers on the planet.

Along this journey, we've learned so much from all of you who have followed us and contributed your own thoughts and opinions here on Facebook and on our other social media pages. And we thank you for supporting us along the way.

And we could never have sustained this mission without the efforts and knowledge of our Correspondents: Brian Pearson, Kim Reilly, Scott Gross, Mikael Engstrom, Scott Sheriff, Don Breithaupt, Loretta Sassaman, Yinka Oyelese, and Arnaud Leger. We also want to recognize past team members Uwe Reith, Max Zape (rest in peace, Max), and Mats Uneland. And special thanks to Jean Luc Raymond for contributing his interview with Bill Labounty to the show recently.

We certainly can't predict how long the IMC ship will sail, but we do have future guests on our radar with more to come.

We appreciate you!

- Rick and Eddy

Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Keith Killgo of The Blackbyrds!

Drummer, vocalist, and one of the founding members of The Blackbyrds, Keith Killgo has had music running through his veins since he was four-years-old. By the time he turned 11 he had already played drums with such greats as Sonny Stitt, Stan Getz, Miles Davis, Woody Shaw, Bill Hardman, Art Blakey's Band and Eddie Harris. His piano teacher? None other than Roberta Flack. Music was Keith’s destiny, and this path led him to meet Donald Byrd and the formation of The Blackbyrds in 1973. With a fusion of R&B, blues, and jazz, the band had several notable songs, including “Do It Fluid”, “Happy Music”, “Rock Creek Park”, and their Top 10 hit “Walking In Rhythm”. Here to chat about his amazing career in music, as well as his role as an educator, is Keith Killgo.

Catch this new interview with Keith at www.insidemusicast.com, or on a variety of podcast apps including Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, iHeart Radio, Audible, SiriusXM, Castbox and more!

The Doobie Brothers paying tribute to Walt Parazaider says everything you need to know. A classy salute to a fellow musical giant whose fingerprints are all over the history of Chicago. Respectful, heartfelt, and pure class on every level.

Do you remember this classic song from The Blackbyrds? Tomorrow we will be releasing our latest interview with Keith Killgo, founding member and drummer for the band. You'll love this charismatic conversation. And you'll never guess who one of his piano teachers was. 🤔
