In one of the most captivating interviews this year, Prince and the NPG drummer, JOHN BLACKWELL, visits "The Upper Room with Joe Kelley". This funkster with jazz chops discusses a variety of topics including: his musical background and his dad's influence, his schooling at Berklee College of Music, his tours with Cameo and Prince, his respect and explanation of how Kirk Johnson and Prince have helped him with drumming, his admiration of drummers who went before him, the dynamics of the recent Montreal Jazz Festival show with Prince and the NPG, and his preparation on tour to get that maximum energy. Lots of laughs and words on funk, concerts, and life.

Those who heard it this past Monday say it was one of the most enjoyable interviews in recent times. The interview lasted over an hour and a half and we could have gone longer. Don't sleep on this show. In between the interview runs, you will hear creative music in funk, r&b, and hip-hop.
