Drummer Vern Mobley stopped by my
house last weekend and we had a fantastic conversation. His band,
Fusion Jazz Trio, is going to celebrate their 10th anniversary in
2012. He told me about the band from the early days to today, and
the importance of the chemistry that he shares with his band mates.
They have been playing together for so long that they know where
each other is going in a song. This makes it a lot of fun for them
as performers, and makes for an exciting show for their fans. Vern
is very active in the local music scene. He wears many hats, and he
talked with me about how he balances family and music. We also
talked about his roots in gospel music, and how is father was a
major musical influence in his life. Vern was a lot of fun to
interview, and he shared many greats stories and insights. You can
find him online at http://www.vernmobley.com/fr_thebeginning.cfm and

I hope that you enjoy this as much as I did. Let me
know!
