17. David Axelrod with Don Randi

Joe and Dave welcome legendary Wrecking Crew keyboardist Don Randi to discuss the discography of the nonpareil producer and arranger David Axelrod, whose lush and cinematic funk masterpieces proved to be manna from heaven for crate diggers of the hip hop generation. Don played on many of these recordings and talks about his experience working with Ax in his Capitol Records heyday. Axelrod's entire catalog is discussed in detail and all of his works are rated from 0 to 5 stars.

- official playlist curated by Joe and Dave on Spotify

- Don Randi discusses David Axelrod's legacy upon the 50th anniversary of the release of "Songs Of Experience"

- "Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet" from Don Randi's excellent Axelrod-produced album, not currently available on streaming but has the classic Ax sound

- Standout track from the 1977 album "Strange Ladies," which is sadly unavailable on streaming but definitely worth checking out - "The Shadow Knows" from the 2001 MoWax release of the excellent eponymous Axelrod album that was saved from extinction, currently unavailable on streaming

- Live clip of the man himself conducting the band and orchestra performing "The Edge" in 2004 at Royal Festival Hall
