The latest episode of the Instrumentals of Rock Podcast is up and ready to listen to. Link in Bio. In the latest IOR podcast I interviewed Harry Weinger, a veteran of the entertainment industry who is currently Vice President of A&R for Universal Music Enterprises, the catalog division of Universal Music Group. Harry has produced and/or managed hundreds of releases, winning two Grammy® Awards and many other honors for his work. We discussed his unique job in the music business and in particular two releases he was a part of, Marvin Gaye’s Funky Nation, The Detroit Instrumentals and James Brown Soul Pride, The Instrumentals 1960-1969. Enjoy!#harryweinger#jamesbrown#marvingaye#sixtiesinstrumentals#instrumetalfunk#iorpodcast#iorock#instrumetalrockmusic#instrumentalmusic#boxsets#soulpride#funkynation#universalmusicgroup#thepopcorn#thechicken#mashpotatoes

Throwback Thursday! I met Neil Zaza back in 1996 during the IOR radio days. We met in 1996 on the floor of the Anaheim Convention Center for the annual NAMM show. Episode #5 is audio only from that interview. #neilzaza#iorock#instrumentals#instrumentalrock#iorpodcast#shredguitar#onedarknight#NAMM

I met Neil Zaza back in 1996 during the IOR radio days. On the last day in November of 2023, I spoke with Neil to see what he has planned for 2024 and talk about how his career path has allowed him to play guitar for a living.
