Summary

David & Phil joyfully welcome their friend Jimmy Jam and their new friend Denny Tedesco to "Naked Lunch" for a moving conversation about music, fathers and sons and so much more. Jimmy Jam shares an inspiring update about his ongoing reunion with his long estranged father, who is the subject of a great new book, "Deeper Blues: The Life, Songs & Salvation of Cornbread Harris" by Andrea Swensson, which you can buy here. Denny Tedesco tells how putting a spotlight on his legendary musician father Tommy Tedesco led him to direct two great music documentaries, 2008's "The Wrecking Crew" about the great studio musicians in Los Angeles in The Sixties and now, 2023's "Immediate Family" about a group of musicians who have defined The Seventies and made enduringly iconic recordings with the likes of Carole King, James Taylor, Jackson Browne and Linda Ronstadt, to name just a few. You can see both films on Hulu. To learn more about "Immediate Family," click here.
