I'm wondering too how much his car accident and subsequent increase in drugs shaped the later sound as well. Put these names together and the music will have a social reference: THE RED CARPET LOUNGE SABU'S BIG NICKS COPPOLAS BUMBY JOHNSON WALTER DEAN WALTER BOOKER CHIN GIGANTE

"Ife" is not a remix......remastered from the original 2-track master....

The difference between Sony/Bmg and Iraq is that at least in Iraq you get to have a gun

If you actually knew them you'd feel better about making that statement....and it's CRONY/BMG ("we put the 'B' in BORING")

Money...surely you jest....if we release this the band may clear 1K......plus the BBC made a multi-track recording.....so we can do this concert justice....for the music and not the bread....not in jazz anymore...

The house feed was only sax and turntables...the BBC made a nice recording but it wasn't available to connect with the Sony HD camera
