?uestlove Interview

Check out this really nice interview with Questlove of The Legendary Roots Crew.  In it, he talks about how and why The Roots decided to take the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon gig (which had us fans scratching our heads for a minute), and the kinds of opportunities it's brought the band.


For musicians, there's a good lesson here about being really good at what you do so that you are ready for big opportunities.  Also, about how being versatile in addition to being skilled can take things to a whole new level.  The Roots have managed to turn what was a standard late night house band gig into being an integral part of the (arguable) comedic success of Fallon's show.


For anyone, there's a good lesson about striking when the iron is hot. From the Fallon gig, to recording/touring The Roots, to his steady DJ work, and the band supporting other major artists, etc. Quest and the crew are maintaining a pretty frantic pace.  They understand taking advantage of opportunities, and owning everything they do - with style, of course.
