Something about it reminded me of Atoms for Peace, so I sent it to Thom. Just knowing him, I thought it would be a rhythm and a sensibility that he would relate to. And I was right, he did. With a gorgeous melody and the words, you know, about living in the \u2018upside down\u2019 and how do you make sense of things when we\u2019re getting all this fake shit and real shit? Everyone has their ways of dealing with the world. But he\u2019s just the warmest, free flowing, jamming motherf*cker.\u201d <\/em>-Flea<\/p>\n<p>Best known as a founding member and bassist for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Flea was first introduced to live jazz as a child, when family friends played the music together in his own living room. \u201cIt was the greatest thing I ever saw,\u201d he recalls. \u201cThe wildness, warmth and we of it. Straight Bebop. Boom. I knew there were higher things on this earth, way above the pettiness that had left me disheartened. The holy trifecta of my life, music, sports and nature was complete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Though he dreamed of being like his heroes Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Clifford Brown, Flea\u2019s path went a different direction: His close friend Hillel Slovak asked him to pick up the bass and join his rock band when he was sixteen, leading Flea into a decades-long career with the hugely successful Chili Peppers.<\/p>\n<p>But late one night in 1991, in the midst of that band\u2019s ascent, Flea was acting in the now-classic Gus Van Sant film <em>My Own Private Idaho <\/em>when he shared with a friend, \u201cI want to make an instrumental record with deep hypnotic grooves, trippy melodies layered on top, meditations on a groove.\u201d The caveat was that he first needed to get his trumpet-playing together.<\/p>\n<p>As Flea neared his sixtieth birthday, he realized if he did not pick up the trumpet again, he probably never would. So he resolved to practice every day for two years\u2013in the midst of a stadium tour with Red Hot Chili Peppers, with a wife and newborn at home. At the end of those two years, he would make an album, regardless of where his knowledge or talents ended up.<\/p>\n<p>Until <em>Honora<\/em>, Flea had never been scared of making music before. He worried that the all-star band he had assembled would think he was \u201ca non-playing motherf*cker, charlatan, rock poseur or fan.\u201d But, he says, \u201cIt turns out they were all the most genuinely supportive people, moving me deeply and daily with their generous spirits\u2026Sitting in a room and playing the music with them made me feel like I was on drugs. I was buzzing, tripping and floating around the studio. I love them, they truly gave of themselves. I bow all the way down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><u>Honora<\/u><\/em><\/strong><strong><u> Tracklist<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Golden Wingship<\/li>\n<li>A Plea<\/li>\n<li>Traffic Lights<\/li>\n<li>Frailed<\/li>\n<li>Morning Cry<\/li>\n<li>Maggot Brain<\/li>\n<li>Wichita Lineman<\/li>\n<li>Thinkin Bout You<\/li>\n<li>Willow Weep for Me<\/li>\n<li>Free As I Want to Be<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>The Honora Tour Dates<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>May 7 &#8211;
