Episode 12: Jeff Cotton ('Antennae Jimmy Semens') on the making of Trout Mask Replica
In this episode, guitarist Jeff Cotton (known as 'Antennae Jimmy Semens') talks for the first time ever in public about his experience working with Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band on the albums Strictly Personal, Mirror Man and of course, Trout Mask Replica.
Famously publicity-shy, Jeff granted me the honour of this first ever interview, filling in crucial details of his story, and providing a new perspective on the making of some of the most beguiling albums ever recorded. He also discusses his subsequent musical projects, and talks about where he is at today.
