In The Groove: Ezra Collective, Claude Fontaine + a fond farewell for Sergio Mendes and Herbie Flowers
Listen to “In the Groove” with Ryan Patrick Hooper weekdays from noon-3 p.m. ET on 101.9 WDET.
"In the Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.
Today it’s first-time spins from Porridge Radio, Claude Fontaine, Supergrass, Special Interest, RAH & the Ruffcats, plus a special spotlight on Ezra Collective.
I also give a fond farewell for the man responsible with helping to bring Brazilian rhythms to America — the one and only Sergio Mendes — as well as an ultimate secret weapon on the bass, Herbie Flowers, who played on more than 500 hit records in his lifetime. Massive losses for the music community, but two figures that left everything they had on the stage and on the record. Rest in rhythm to Sergio and Herbie.
