The late, great Mac Rebennack, aka Dr John, was THE ambassador for the sound of New Orleans music for an entire generation. “Breaking It Down" co-host Jeff Ganz was fortunate enough to have crossed paths with the Night Tripper himself. He shares his story, followed by a handful of our fellow musicians who have their own personal remembrances of the good doctor. We hope that these conversations pay some homage to this towering figure of American music.

James Jamerson changed the way hit records sound. His jazz-inflected, endlessly inventive bass playing added a whole new level of sophistication to pop records. Plus, he brought the serious funk. In this premiere episode of "Breaking It Down," pro musicians John Montagna and Jeff Ganz (both bass players, not incidentally) get deep inside the style, technique and approach of a man whose influence is as strong today as ever.
