Guest Lecturer, CoArts Rotterdam Conservatory of Music
Background
Born in Louisiana, the cradle of jazz, Beasley started writing compositions in junior high
school, the first one for the University of North Texas Jazz Band. Jimmy Lyons, founder of
the Monterey Jazz Festival, heard Beasley's piece and recommended him for a scholarship at
the Stan Kenton summer jazz camp. The song was then added to The Stan Kenton
Orchestra’s repertoire that year.
Beasley is a third generation musician. His father is a bassoonist, pianist, and composer.
His mother is a brass instrumentalist and band conductor and orchestrator. His grandfather
was a trombonist. Growing up around musicians, John learned how to play trumpet, oboe,
drums, saxophone, and flute, mostly because of his mother's need for wind instrumentalists
for her bands.
Declining an oboe scholarship from the Julliard, at 17, Beasley went on the road instead to
tour the world with Brazilian artist Sergio Mendes and jazz icon Freddie Hubbard, while
keeping up with his garage band Audio Mind with Vinnie Colauita, John Patittuci, and Steve
Taviglione.
Film/TV/Commercial
At the young age of 24, Beasley started writing music for Paramount, Disney, and MGM's
television shows, including Cheers, Family Ties, Star Trek, and Fame. He wrote the
Touchstone TV logo, which is still used today. As a studio musician, he has worked for
luminaries such as Thomas Newman, Dave Gruisin, Alan Silvestri, and Carmine Coppola.
Today, he is part of Thomas Newman’s core team creating drum and synth programming for
James Bond Skyfall, Exotic Marigold Hotel, Finding Nemo, and Wall-E, to name a few.
He composes pro bono for films and podcasts for Nobel Peace Prize winning Doctors Without
Borders. Along the way, Beasley has written award winning commercials for ad agencies in
the US and Germany for over 20 years.
Miles Davis call and Recording Career
At 28, Beasley got the phone call of a lifetime from Miles Davis to join his band. While on
tour with Miles, he was inspired to release his first CD, Cauldron, which was produced by
Walter Becker (Steely Dan). His Positootly! album earned a 2011 Grammy nomination for Best
Jazz Instrumental Record. In 2012, he joined forces with two other Miles Davis alumni,
Darryl Jones (Rolling Stones bassist) and the signature drummer for Michael Jacksons Billie
Jean, Ndugu Chancler. This triumvirate wrote, as one reviewer said, some “tangy, ass-
wiggling funk.”
Reality TV
With the popularity of singing competitions, Beasley was enlisted to work on the juggernaut
American Idol. In 2005, as Associate Director to Rickey Minor, he ushered the 12 female
finalists by coaching and rehearsing them; selecting and arranging songs; and mixing the
shows. In the finale, his contestant Carrie Underwood took the title and became a global
music star, earning multiple GRAMMYs. Over the next 6 years (2005-2010) with Idol,
Beasley was Lead Arranger and substituted for Music Director Rickey Minor on the song
recordings for iTunes releases.
When ABC TV was looking for a Music Director for their reality show Duets with Kelly
Clarkson, John Legend, Robin Thicke, and Jennifer Nettles, Beasley was handpicked. He was
also MD for CW’s Pussycat Dolls Presents, The Search for the Next Doll. Beasley returns to
ABC in a new show “Sing Your Face Off” 2013.
Beasley has been able to combine being a recording artist, music director for TV shows,
composing/performing on TV, films and commercials, touring with major artists producing
and directing tours throughout his 30-year career.

stuff that needs to happen more often… contagious and penetrating grooves… honey dew

“sumptuous potion of distinct, powerful and peerless music created by this superb Trio”
“they collectively stir up a melting pot of jazz-funk, organic grooves, and soulful sounds
resonate feverishly through the walls of these eleven songs is uplifted to greater heights by
an extraordinary cast of guest performers”
Something Else! - Nick DeRiso - http://bit.ly/O515mY
3 BRAVE SOULS (R&B): An album of soul jazz that brings together three alumni from the
Miles Davis bands? We are so there. And keyboardist John Beasley (from Davis’ late-1980s
touring band); bassist Daryl Jones (with Miles for 1984′s Decoy and ’85′s You’re Under
Arrest; and drummer Ndugu Chancler (who played with Davis in the early 1970s) don’t
disappoint, creating a tangy, ass-wiggling funk on their self-titled debut for BFM Jazz. It’s
tempting to focus on the great, greasy lines by Beasley, whose 2011 record Positootly! was
nominated for a Grammy, but Jones and Chancler are just as important to this album’s
potent pulse: Jones takes a vocal turn on the Sly Stone-influenced “Stay,” while Chancler —
maybe best known for his later turn on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” — adds a spoken-
word contribution to the sizzling “Nail It Down.” Throughout, they create a groove so deep
you could fall right in.

Perhaps equally as important to their friendship, 3 Brave Souls collectively has an
unparalleled common denominator. In fact, at various intervals early on they played integral
roles and develop their character as musicians by performing with the legendary Miles
Davis. Therefore, they unexpectedly became beneficiaries of their tenure with Miles. As a
result, these astute alumni essentially qualify to make reoccurring deposits to others and
frequent withdrawals from this expansive template of innovative, progressive and creative
music rooted in the spirit of love, imagination and passion to play music.
Initially when I placed their “Self-Titled” disc into the CD player, I thought so but I wasn’t
ready to plug into the sumptuous potion of distinct, powerful and peerless music created
by this superb Trio. The beauty about this collaboration is when you have like-minded
voices utilize their resources properly great things can happen. In this case, we have the
multifaceted keyboardist and instrumentalist John Beasley from New Orleans paired with
his homey Ndugu Chancler proficient drummer-instrumentalist needed yet another
essential alias to complete this task. Therefore, bassist, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist
Darryl Jones was the missing link to help accomplish their goal. Now that’s what’s up, this
infallible threesome joins forces on their debut on BFM Jazz. Together, they collectively stir
up a melting pot of jazz-funk, organic grooves, and soulful sounds resonate feverishly
through the walls of these eleven songs is uplifted to greater heights by an extraordinary
cast of guest performers.
Out of the box, the trio jump starts the session with the gutsy yet animated funk baptized
in a pool of organic, contagious and penetrating grooves embodied in “Black Friday.” As
anticipated, this gem groans with tempting flavors, beats and accents of old school jazz
and funk rests in the body of homegrown Memphis soul. Next we have the soulful, hip and
mesmerizing vocals by Sy Smith, the songstress will simply blow you away with her
downhome swagger on “Wanna Get Away?”
Apparently the guys couldn’t get enough of vocalist Sy Smith, so they decided to marry her
voice with Dwight Trible on the downhome greasy, easy and back porch Church grooves of
“Nothing Left to Say.” At midway point of the album, the gifted Smith is showcased once
again with the sexy and vivacious ballad titled “Love’s Graces.”
Actually it’s been years since I’ve had the opportunity to savor the soothing honey dew
sounds of southern soul this project embellishes, the lyrically persuasive melody of “Come
and Gone” brings back even more sweet memories. The next song features two
distinguished and unsung sax giants in their own right Bob Sheppard and Steve
Tavaglione. They are featured soloist on the fusion infected “Ayala.” The band cooks
rhythmically by gradually blending a pot of mystic brew of off-metered progressions on
this progressively funky gem!
Some artists are like fine wine they age proportionally and with maturity they simply get
better and mo-better in a matter of time. Case in point, the multi-talented rhythm keeper
of the trio Ndugu Chancler sings and raps on the funky and toe-tapping beats of “Nail It
Down.”
“Ubiquitous” is up next, this track features Beasley on Hammond and Chancler on the
Kalimba solos mirrors the flexible melodies and grooves of the Crusaders meets Earth,
Wind & Fire with a heavy flow of tenacious and relentless beats as the centerpiece with
danceable disco layered over the top surrounds this baby from beginning to the end!
Bassist Darryl Jones is featured lead vocalist on “Stay,” this Sly Stone influenced tune is
engulfed sonically in this Titans groove certainly makes you wanna dance and shout.
Finally, the album winds down with the distinctive harmonica solos featuring Grégoire
Maret on the gorgeous “N2U” which is lavished with rich and compelling lyricism.
I will say this without hesitation, this album is seriously for old school jazz-funk and soul
music aficionados. The consummate voice of this determined Trio serves up a tasty gumbo
of raw, funky and soulful music not often expressed in sphere of today’s music. Over the
years cats like Beasley, Chancler and Jones honed their creative voices by performing with
infinite number of artists and mastered their skills. In return, a plethora of records have
been created and recorded by them. At the beginning and end of the day, when it’s all said
and done this Trio’s groove is tight, funky and fits perfectly in sync with relevant music
while adapting the mythology of old school with their “Self-Titled” debut ultimately delivers
a powerhouse performance.

3 BRAVE SOULS: Describing themselves as a funk power trio, this aggregation of three
generations of Miles Davis sidemen, who have collectively played with everybody, join
forces for a fun romp that feels like an off the clock session where the vibe is the major
concern---and they let it lead the way. With more bite than a simple groove record, these
major league jazzbos deliver a free and easy date that’s as friendly as a summer day with
low humidity and just the right amount of heat. Tasty stuff that needs to happen more
often. -

3 Brave Souls: John Beasley, Darryl Jones, Ndugu Chancler
Funky, soulful, interplay. These are just a few words that can be used to describe the
meeting of John Beasley, Darryl Jones and Ndugu Chancler on their new BFM Jazz release
titled 3 Brave Souls. These musical masters forge a symbiotic sonic bond reminiscent of
their individual efforts with the incomparable Miles Davis bands while coining their own
musical vocabulary on 11 new compositions that each band member contributed to the
recording. In addition to Beasley, Jones and Chancler, the trio invited such respected
musicians as vocalists Sy Smith and Dwight Trible, saxophonist Bob Sheppard, Steve
Tavaglione on EWI, Leon Mobley on djembe, trombonist Francisco Torres, Gregoire Moret
on harmonica and backing vocalist Monet Owens to share their musical expertise. The set
opens with Chancler’s “Black Friday,” a funky, soul/jazz piece with classic jazz flavorings
that rise to the top. The musical excellence continues with the John Beasley/Sy Smith
collaboration called “Wanna Get Away?” This song also features the killer multi-octave
vocals of Sy Smith taking charge of a funky, boo-ga-loo kind of groove that immediately
catches your ear. Its sudden stops and quick shifts in rhythm coupled with the imaginative
harmonization on the bridge make this song a winner. Next Sy Smith is paired with Dwight
Trible on “Nothing Left To Say,” which she also co-wrote with John Beasley. “Ayala” is an
exotic gem that really reveals Beasley’s compositional integrity. This song is one of the
more beautiful songs on the recording and really stays with you long after the song is over.
“Stay” featuring Darryl Jones on vocals and “N2U” which features Gregoire Maret, wrap up
the program and will leave you wonderfully lost in the music the ensemble has made
together. On 3 Brave Souls, it’s easy to get lost in the fire and funk, the soul and the jazz
but you can easily follow the light that this music emanates. Check it out. Click on CD

Nothing But Bass
http://bit.ly/Kzo9Ic
Bassist Darryl Jones teamed up with keyboardist John Beasley and drummer Ndugu
Chancler to form 3 Brave Souls, a trio informed by funk, roots, and jazz. In fact, each of the
members are alumni of Miles Davis’s band and as such bring together incredible groove
with intellectual playing. The group has released their self-titled debut album.
Jones, whose career credits include work with The Rolling Stones, Michael Jackson, and
Madonna among others, keeps the grooves tight throughout the 11-track collection.
“Come and Gone” shows off his melodic ability as he leads the group through a soulful
melody, while he steps up to the microphone on the song “Stay.”

Three generations of Miles Davis alumni having fun playing progressive roots music –
keyboardist John Beasley, bassist Darryl Jones and master drummer Ndugu Chancler – join
forces in a formidable new funk trio called 3 Brave Souls. Harnessing Beasley and Ndugu’s
hometown earthy undertones of New Orleans and Jones’ Chicago street-funk 3 Brave Souls
are knee-deep in the groove on their self-titled debut for BFM Jazz.
From the revved-up, rootsy Meters romp “Wanna Get Away” and the downhome “Nothing
Left to Say,” both featuring the remarkably soulful vocals of Sy Smith, to the hard-hitting
Fela Kuti like instrumental “Yabis,” 3 Brave Souls make a potent statement on this debut
outing. The aptly titled “Nail it Down” is a thick pocket groover with spoken words of
wisdom by Ndugu. The mellow ballad “Come and Gone” is a showcase for Jones’ melodic
penchant on the bass while Beasley conjures a hypnotic world music vibe on the exotic
“Ayala.” Guest harmonica ace Gregoire Maret is featured on the lovely and lyrical “N2U,”
Daryl Jones showcases his vocal ability on “Stay” with a Sly Stone-ish sound; and Sy Smith
returns for the gorgeous ballad “Love’s Graces,” which Beasley wrote.
John Beasley who is the consummate musician, composer, and music director has worked
with Chaka Khan, James Brown, Steely Dan, Queen Latifah, Aretha Franklin, and is currently
the MD for ABC-TV “Duets” (featuring judges John Legend, Robin Thicke, Jennifer Nettles
and Kelly Clarkson). Beasley wrote infectious songs that leave your foot tapping. His jazz
background includes eight years with Freddie Hubbard and an eye-opening year (1989)
with Miles Davis. Beasley’s previous record, Positootly! was nominated for a 2011 Grammy
Award.
Bassist extraordinaire Darryl Jones is one half of the funky rhythm tandem in 3 Brave Souls.
With his rock, jazz, blues experience playing with Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, and since
1993 touring with the Rolling Stones, groovemeister of the highest order, Jones’ credits
include work with such pop stars as Cher, Madonna, Sting, Lionel Richie, Eric Clapton and
Peter Gabriel.
The distinctive drums on Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean” could only be Leon “Ndugu”
Chancler. With a list of studio recording credits as long as the Dead Sea Scrolls, inventive
drummer and consummate timekeeper, Ndugu has recorded and toured with Santana,
Miles Davis, Michael Jackson, Herbie Hancock, George Duke and Weather Report.
3 Brave Souls, Beasley, Ndugu, & Jones, came together to write listenable, danceable
melodic music bringing the funk and plenty of downhome soul, with an undercurrent of
jazz sensibility to move you to the dance floor!
3 Brave Souls - John Beasley / Daryl Jones / Ndugu Chancler - (BFM Jazz)
4.5 stars / 5 stars - Album Review by Peggy Oliver - http://bit.ly/LBrmCi
Occasionally, I ponder about what truly inspires bands or vocal groups in choosing their
names and what their thought process was behind it. For instance, the name 3 Brave Souls
sparked immense curiosity. After checking their musical background, I particularly noted
that John Beasley, Daryl Jones and Leon ‘Ngudu’ Chancler had one major common bond.
These veteran musicians represented three generations who played behind modern jazz
trumpet pioneer Miles Davis. Considering those 3 Brave Souls’ close association with Davis
was partially enough for me to figure out that Beasley, Jones and Chancler must have been
somewhat brave in interacting with his moody, intense personality..
Besides their Miles Davis credentials, 3 Brave Souls have contributed to the music industry
in other capacities. Keyboardist John Beasley serves as musical director for the current
reality talent series, “Duets.” Jones, who handles bass guitar duties for The Rolling Stones
tours, has also worked with pop phenomenons Sting, Madonna and Lionel Ritchie. Chancler
is one of the most respected drummer/percussionists around but one of his major calling
cards is his pulsating funk beats driving Michael Jackson’s international hit, “Billie Jean.”
3 Brave Souls bridges their diverse talents for their self-titled debut to concoct an
ambitious and mostly entertaining recipe of pop, world, R&B and soul injected with funk
blasts and contemporary jazz class. “Black Friday” sweetly layers deep funk pockets with
R&B and pop. Chancler and Beasley’s vibraphone and keyboard tandem run the table on
“Nail It Down.” From the department of genius vocal casting, independent soul songstress
Sy Smith is the perfect choice who compliments 3 Brave Souls’ eclectic personality. Her
sassy lead and Beasley’s meaty organ solo propel “Wanna Get Away,” a Meters-esque romp
that proudly stamps the lively spirit of New Orleans. The sleek eighties R&B-like “Love’s
Graces” taps Sy Smith’s efficiency with slow jams, accented by Beasley’s spacey
synthesizers. While Jones is very capable holding down the rhythm section, “Come and
Gone” demonstrates his melodic bass lines with simplicity and fluidity. On the other hand,
one of the few misfires on 3 Brave Souls is Jones’ lead vocal turn on “Stay.” “Ayala” ventures
into jazz experimentation centered on different distinct textures of woodwinds: the EWI
(Electronic Wind Instrument) played by Steve Tavaglione and Bob Sheppard’s baritone sax.
“Yabis” is a certified African funk party complete with animated trombone by Francisco
Torres, and a fierce percussion line of Leon Mobley on djembe (a hand drum originating
from West Africa) and Chancler’s congas. “N2U” closes down 3 Brave Souls with Gregorie
Maret’s harmonica and Beasley’s glistening keys locking in a relaxing jazz/soul vibe.
After experiencing this riveting debut, there absolutely is something about that name 3
Brave Souls that says slightly daring and dare I say – a brave and welcome move for the
modern jazz market. I bet Miles Davis would be smiling on them as well.

The Birmingham Times - http://bit.ly/N6wnDj
Newly released on BFM Jazz is a dynamic collection titled 3 Brave Souls. This CD is a
fantastic recording that is simply pure funk. Keyboardist John Beasley, Bassist Darryl Jones
and percussionist Ndugu Chancler have produced a really remarkable album that is old
school with a new school twist. It is fabulous.
3 Brave Souls possesses a truly unique sound. Incorporating the down to earth tones of
New Orleans with the street funk of Chicago, it is a pleasing one of a kind collection. The
set opens with “Black Friday”, a mid-tempo track that has a great vibe. “Come And Gone”
is a mellow laid back tune. The defining elements in this selection are the string and
keyboard instruments. Nothing but the soul is released on “Nail It Down.” It is one of the
numerous danceable tracks; however, it features an added surprise – a modicum of spoken
word by Ndugu Chancler.
One welcoming addition to this collective is the silky sounds of vocalist Sy Smith. She takes
center stage on the track “Love Graces.” Likewise can be said about Gregoire Maret and his
prowess over the harmonica and Darryl Jones’ vocals on the track “Stay.” He is
awesome. Other featured guests are Dwight Trible, Bob Sheppard, Steve Tavaglione,
Francisco Torres and Leon Mobley. Stated on John Beasley’s web site about 3 Brave Souls
is: “Three generations of Miles Davis alumni having fun playing progressive roots music”—
these so few words perfectly sum up the entire collection.
John Beasley is a Grammy nominated musician, composer, arranger and music director
who has worked with Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Chaka Khan and many others. Daryl
Jones has worked with a number of artists including Cher, Madonna, Sting, Lionel Richie,
Eric Clapton and Peter Gabriel. Leon Ndugu Chancler is the distinct drummer on Michael
Jackson’s Billie Jean. Santana, Herbie Hancock and George Duke are among the list of
musician he has worked with.
Billings Gazette - http://bit.ly/NyAawq
They call themselves “3 Brave Souls.”
Maybe it’s because all three survived stints with Miles Davis. Maybe it’s because they dare
revive the seismic grooves of ‘80s funk.
Keyboardist John Beasley, bassist Darryl Jones and drummer Ndugu Chancler all spent time
with Miles, although their all-star turns didn’t end there. Beasley also spent eight years
with Freddie Hubbard and both Jones and Chancler played with Michael Jackson. On top of
that, Jones has been touring with the Rolling Stones since 1993.
But enough about their bona fides.
The trio’s debut is good, old-fashioned funk channeled through New Orleans, with a cover
of the Meters’ “Wanna Get Away” and the gospel-flavored original “Nothing Left to Say.”
It’s in the latter song that the trio pulls its trump card, the amazing vocalist Sy Smith,
whose liquid purr swoops over and under the best cuts here. She also lights up the
jumping “Wanna Get Away?” and the swooning ballad, “Love’s Graces.”
Chancler introduces “Nail it Down” with some smooth rap, in that groovy, pre-hip-hop
sense of the word. And, the trio reaches for a world beat, adding conga and Kalimba to
some cuts.
There’s only one beef here, and it’s a tiny one. The trio sometimes piles the funk
conventions on a little too thickly, laying the Rhodes over the Hammond B3, stacking up
the grunts, the groans, the bass runaways and the spoken-word swoons.
