IVAN BODLEY & JAZZ/FUNK UNIT: Beauty is Only Knee Deep
"Jazz/Funk Unit"

Ivan “Funkboy” Bodley is bass player and musical director to the stars. He has performed with 24 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame™ inductees and counting. He is musical director for Sam Moore, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, The Shirelles, The Crystals, The Tokens and has performed with: Sting, Elvis Costello, The Temptations, Solomon Burke, Ben E. King, Percy Sledge, Eddie Floyd, Rufus & Carla Thomas, Bo Diddley, Buster Poindexter, The Uptown Horns, Paul Rodgers, Wynonna Judd, and David Foster.

Appearances include: Creative Coalition Obama Inaugural Ball as featured in the Barry Levinson documentary “Poliwood,” Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, The Today Show, Emeril Live, Imus in the Morning, Charlie Rose Show, Live with Regis & Kelly, Carnegie Hall, Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Istanbul State Symphony and Israel Symphony Orchestras, and “Rock of Ages” on Broadway.

Ivan is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of the Berklee College of Music. To date, he has traveled to 26 countries around the world and played to audiences of up to 30,000 people in performance settings ranging from jazz duos to 150-member symphony orchestras.

“Pigs Feet & Potted Meat” is Funkboy’s third recording as bandleader. It is feel-good funky music, unapologetically buoyant and fun. It ministers to the human condition, soothes the soul, and penetrates all shields, surfaces, and obstacles. It’s soul-jazz that even has jam-band crossover appeal.

With Jim Dower-keyboards and Joe Goretti-drums, Ivan & company travel the world together backing Sam Moore, The Temptations, Martha Reeves and other royalty of soul music. On days off back in New York City, the trio creates instrumental groove music that might result if The Meters joined Lou Donaldson and Ramsey Lewis for a jam session. There’s plenty of pithy jazz harmony and arranging for the intellectually minded. But there are NO prerequisites for enjoying this music. Everything is rooted firmly in the groove. The songs evolved very organically during the trio’s creative writing and recording sessions every week or so at Joey’s house.

“Pigs Feet & Potted Meat” is equally nutritious for the cerebrum and for the booty. It is a healthy part of a balanced diet. Use only as directed. Void where prohibited. Shake well. Apply liberally.

Hey, bro! Congrats on the Carnegie Hall show! See that...All that practicing finally paid off! Lol!! Hope all is well with you these days? As for me, I moved to the Philly area. Been doing a classic rock gig playing all the casinos in A.C. & all the "A" rock rooms from S. Jersey/PA down to WV and everywhere in between. Been writing a lot as well, and hope to finally begin recording soon once we settle into this area a bit more. Anyhooo...Hope all's well!
My best,

In Colombia an individual can be fined up to $90,000 for gossiping. Good thing they're not in the WIDR broadcast range, otherwise all sorts of folks would be gettin fined for gossiping over whether or not your track was the best to be played on last week's show.

Check the blog for more info.
