Sam L. Williams, host of the Millennial Throwback Machine podcast, is committed to finding the unsung heroes behind classic American records: the studio musicians, arrangers, sound engineers, and more, who never got credit for their work. Sam and Gia met at the Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons start ceremony at the Hollywood Walk of Fame! In this episode, Sam joins us from his home in sunny California to give us names of musicians who helped define the sound of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons in the 60s, based on two sources: Studio Stories- How New York Records Were Made. A book by David Simons His interview with Charlie Calello! Some musicians include: ● George Devins, percussionist ● Al Gorgoni, guitar ● Buddy Saltzman, drums ● Lou Morrow, bass ● Stan Free, keyboard ● Charlie Mason, lyricist For all our music theory cats, we also broke down every instrument in “Let’s Hang On,” the original Four Seasons record and a cover by The Manhattan Transfer (with Frankie Valli on vocals). Sam is a singer-songwriter and arranger himself, and we discussed how The Four Seasons influenced his music.

Today, we're breaking down our friend Aaron De Jesus's heartbreaking performance as Frankie Valli, with his interpretation of the "summers in Jersey" monologue. This performance really resonated with us! Things to look out for: -His reactions to the phone rings -The amount of time he sits with the news of Francine's passing -The subtle overcast of the weight of the world on his shoulders while he speaks during a potentially peaceful and happy moment in his life Keep a lookout for tickets for Tuacahn Center of the Arts's production of Jersey Boys, directed by Aaron De Jesus and choreographed by his fellow Jersey Boys legend, Candi Boyd! We're doubly excited to announce that Aaron honored us with the task of creating a dramaturgy packet for this production. We had a blast creating it! We love you, our friend! Enjoy! A' Salud♥️🍷…
