Hello everyone,my name is Armin Alic.I am a bassist, born in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, in 1980, and based in Germany since the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina started in 1992.Welcome to my “Talking Spirits Podcast”, where you will be able to listen to talking spirits, meaning that I will be hosting many different people from all over the world and we will talk life in general and all of its wonders in particular.While it is in the nature of things that many of my guests will be musicians or people who are working in the music business, in fact the only mandatory thing in order to become a talking spirit is having one or many stories to tell and being willing to share them with me and the world, so basically anyone can be a guest. Due to the story of my life so far and me being a traveling musician I am a multi-lingual guy, so the “Talking Spirits Podcast” is as well multi-lingual one, as there will be episodes in English and in German.A huge THANK YOU goes out to my dear friends Mem Nahadr, Hanno Busch, Roman Babik and Leon Mucke for grooving with me on the “Talking Spirits” jingles you can hear in every episode, to my dear friend Andreas Herr from the Heyday Studio in Wuppertal, Germany, for making the whole broadcast sound right, and to my dear friend Vladislav Filipovic for the amazing artwork and support with the web page.

My guest today is my dear brother, the American maestro vocalist Dean Bowman. Dean and I go back a very long time as we met in 2006 on Myspace, after I have been a fan of his for some time already. In 2007 we founded the band "Little Rock Nine", and had lots of fun making music together. While the band went on a hiatus in 2009 when my band Royal Street Orchestra came together and became a focus for me, we are still friends and will definitely do some more music together in the future… In our conversation we are talking about the impact of Covid-19 on Dean´s life, his "tenure" as the original vocalist of David Fiuczynski´s Screaming Headless Torsos, his very diverse body of work, which includes working together with highly acclaimed musicians such as John Scofield, Don Byron, Lester Bowie and many more, being a vocalist, why Jazz can be a white racist word, and many more highly interesting topics… Definitely an episode you wanna listen to, if you are into Black Music… Chapters: 00:00:00 Intro 00:01:36 The impact of Covid-19 00:02:49 First memories of music in life 00:04:09 The decision to go for it as a singer 00:06:43 Screaming Headless Torsos 00:14:25 Wedding in Sarajevo 00:19:41 Working in different musical settings 00:22:50 The music of Ray Charles 00:26:35 Building different characters as a singer 00:33:42 Advice for singers 00:35:12 Jazz (is a white racist word) 00:39:28 Charles Mingus 00:42:39 The art of a-capella solo performance 00:48:09 Traveling 00:50:48 Becoming a father 00:54:02 Current activities 00:55:57 Message to the listeners 00:56:45 Outro Links: Dean Bowman on Facebook Black Rock Coalition webpage Screaming Headless Torsos debut album on Spotify Dean´s blog post "Father´s Day and the Alic Family" Dean´s a-capella gospel album "Death don´t have no mercy" on Spotify
