	Fred Wesley biography 02
		Fred Wesley first became apparent on the world stage during his period with James Brown as band leader and then as front man for the J.B.'s.
		Fred Wesley's funk playing is highly syncopated and particularly in the early days was full of variations on a number of established sixteenth note patterns.
		The space that Wesley leaves at the beginning of each phrase and the fact that these phrases end on an off beat at the end of the bar could be in sympathy with the 'one'.

		Fred Wesley: I don't remember the first time, no; but I have had the experience of saying: "I don't remember doing that!" Naturally at first I was upset, because when you hear yourself on something that's making a lot of money and you're not getting paid for it, then it causes concern.
		Fred Wesley: That is a problem because you have these young executives and these record companies now that may or may not understand this.
		Fred Wesley: I think one of the greatest reasons of his success is that he is never satisfied with himself, number one - he is always reaching for this new thing, he's gotta be better than everybody else.

		In his autobiography, "Hit Me, Fred: Recollections of a Sideman," Fred Wesley Jr., trombonist extraordinaire, architect of the infectious grooves that defined the James Brown sound and self-confessed jazz snob (specifically, "bebop snob"), relates his lifelong struggle with this dilemma.
		Much of "Hit Me, Fred" takes us into the darker realm of the sideman's world, the drug abuse and sexual excess that served as a means of escape from the pain of life on the road.

	Amalgamation by Fred Wesley
		Fred Wesley is another musician who has demonstrated how compatible jazz and funk/soul can be.
		In fact, the two complement one another beautifully on Amalgamation, a German release that unites the trombonist with trumpeter Hugh Ragin, saxman Karl Denson, keyboardist/organist Peter Madsen, bassist Dwayne Dolphin, and drummer Bruce Cox.
		The CD detours into Afro-Caribbean territory on the festive "My Neighborhood," while Wesley's romantic side asserts itself on Wham's "Careless Whisper." When Wesley was backing the James Brown, he had to do things Brown's way, but on this 1994 date, he maintains the driver's seat with engaging results.

	Defending the General - The New Yorker's unfair slam on Wes Clark and his role in the Kosovo war. By Fred Kaplan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		I don't know whether Gen. Wesley Clark is qualified to be president, but Peter J. Boyer's profile in this week's New Yorker â”which paints him as scarily unqualifiedâ”is an unfair portrait as well as a misleading, occasionally inaccurate prÃ©cis of the 1999 Kosovo war and Clark's role in commanding it.
		Boyer obviously talked with him in the course of researching the story, but the case against Clarkâ”while there very well may be oneâ”remains unmade.
		The officers in question, the MANY of them, are not the only ones to make this judgment.
