“I think the one thing that makes music special is its soul. Look at music like the Blues. If a computer creates Blues music when it has never experienced the Blues, is it truly the Blues? No. I’m sure that’s the type of question – whether something is music or not- that people will spend a lot of time arguing over. But for me, the music comes down to that soul and warmth. And that’s important to me during the process of creating music as well.“ - Rob Garza
In our first artist interview for the 2024 Newport Jazz season, we sat down with Thievery Corporation’s Rob Garza.

The prompt is HighThievery Corporation, “Lebanese Blonde” from “The Mirror Conspiracy,” 2000
Lyric:
“Too low to find my way
Too high to wonder why
I've touched this place before
Somewhere in another time
Now I can hear the sun”#ThieveryCorporation might not be the household name that fellow #downtempo practitioners #MassiveAttack have become, but they are nevertheless global superstars in the world of downtempo. The lyrics above aptly describe their music; unlike the moody darkness of #TripHop, Thievery Corp's music is imbued with warmth via #reggae, Brazilian, Middle Eastern, and Indian influences.
Founders #EricHilton and #RobGarza busy themselves as DJs, producers, record label impresarios, and solo recording artists, but it’s as Thievery Corporation that they rose to prominence, and that I know and love them best.
