"In addition to Parker on guitar and Refosco handling percussion, "A Plea" also features double bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Deantoni Parks, alto flutist Rickey Washington, trombonist Vikram Devasthali, and Flea on electric bass in addition to trumpet. Additional vocals are provided by Chris Warren and the song's producer Josh Johnson, who plays alto saxophone, too."
""I don't care about the act of politics. I think there is a much more transcendent place above it where there's discourse to be had that can actually help humanity, and actually help us all to live harmoniously and productively in a way that's healthy for the world. There's a place where we meet, and it's love.""
"Red Hot Chili Peppers have been busy these past few years, releasing two albums-Unlimited Love and Return of the Dream Canteen-in 2022 alone, but Flea keeps a booked schedule of his own while not on tour with his band. In addition to being a published memoirist and an actor in blockbuster movies, he's also got his own podcast, This Little Light. His debut solo EP, Helen Burns, came out in 2012."
Flea returns to his original instrument, the trumpet, on the song "A Plea," released on Nonesuch Records and featuring jazz luminaries Jeff Parker and Mauro Refosco. The track includes double bassist Anna Butterss, drummer Deantoni Parks, alto flutist Rickey Washington, trombonist Vikram Devasthali, with added vocals from Chris Warren and producer Josh Johnson, who also plays alto saxophone. The release includes a music video directed by Clara Balzary. Flea said the song urges listeners to build bridges, shine light, make beauty, and see and give to others, emphasizing a transcendent, loving space beyond politics for harmonious, productive living.
