Flea has released his new single, and seems he's made a pivot to jazz! When an artist from another genre says they are making a jazz record it doesn't always turn out super great (looking at you, Andre 3000) but Flea seems to know what he's doing! Excited to see Jeff Parker on here as well, one of the best current jazz guitarists. Looking forward to the album, hope he can keep up the quality of this track!
Cool to learn that about his history with trumpet! Does that track actually have Flea on it? I can't find anything about him being involved with Incubus or Halo 2 but would be cool to find out...

He was also featured on the trumpet for two tracks on The Mars Volta’s Frances the Mute - "The Widow" and "Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore”.

Man, I didn't expect it to be Flea of RHCP. What a treat. And holy shit that transition from the calm jazz to the erratic midsection. Freaking beautiful.
Also, Flea's look is kind of timeless. The man has never changed his style and it never seems out of date. His wrinkles get a little deeper but everything else remains the same. Hope I can age like that!
I love this. Awesome music, wild video, great message too. I don't know much about Flea, I've never really "followed" him. Every time I learn something new about him it's completely unexpected, in...

I don't know much about Flea, I've never really "followed" him. Every time I learn something new about him it's completely unexpected, in the best way. He's just so unabashedly, admirably weird. I feel like I should probably do a deep dive on the guy and put together a better picture of what he's really about. Where to start?
I admit I don't know much about Flea's stuff outside of RHCP, but of course if you haven't listened to Red Hot Chili Peppers get on it! Blood Sugar Sex Magick is a good place to start

I'm pretty sure flea played jazz trumpet before bass.
For a not early example, take this song from the Halo 2 soundtrack: https://youtu.be/kF9z78FEzrA

He played the trumpet on that one... Sorry, I probably could have made that more clear!
