Bio
John Farrell Logan got his nickname by playing Little Walter's harmonica-instrumental gem, "Juke," incessantly. Rockin', multi-media-style, in the music world for over 3 decades, Juke's worked with countless major recording artists and musical trendsetters, such as Ry Cooder, Albert Collins, Leon Russell, & Los Lobos. And then there's radio. Juke was one of the most respected and popular blues jocks on Southern California radio (teamed with co-host Ellen Bloom, for National Public Radio affiliate KPCC, LA's "Friday Nite Blues Revue"). Sadly, the station's format changed in early 2000, as is so often the case in Los Angeles, so the Friday Nite Blues Revue will have to remain in people's hearts and heads. Yeah, his harp blows on a ton of commercials. Keep your ears peeled for his work with Ry Cooder. Dig both for the soundtrack of 1984's "Streets of Fire" film, and for the blues-based feature, "Crossroads." Logan played off-camera harmonica for the star and worked behind the scenes as coach, composer, and consultant. You want more? OK, how about "La Bamba" to "Midnight Run" to "Heathers." And if you have a TV, Juke's harp was prominent on the theme and score of the original "Roseanne" show for 9 seasons. He plays bass harmonica on the "Home Improvement" theme. You'll find Juke's music tucked into more than a few soundtracks, too. "I've always thought of myself, musically, as being in the people-movin' business. That's what we're trying to do with Mocombo's music - melodically, lyrically, emotionally, spiritually and rhythmically. Also central to this music are the rhythms of the City of Los Angeles, my hometown... multi-textural and multi-cultural rhythms... all the time bustin' through and messin' with ya..." ..........Pimp out your webpage with ..PimpWebPage....
