Just wanted to throw this out to you. After listening to The Doober album by Sam Wilkes and Sam Gendel. I Googled Clown and Toilet here on KZbin. I found the band. They are called Clown Core. I do not know who turned me onto this video. But I thought that they were unique. I think this is the Sam Gendel. Super talented sax player. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKO9cn9mjrd3gJI

Great video chaps. John, I've been listening to the Jeff Parker album and enjoying it a lot today. A new name for me. Also, the Sam Gendel record. All lovely stuff and great to see such a wide range covered. I think you might've got off lightly with Gregory Issacs - I'm sure I read somewhere that Lee Perry would often write and draw over pretty much everything when he stayed over. Imagine what your kitchen would turn into. Been on a Gregory Issacs kick recently. Soon Forward is great. Also, never heard that Freddie Mcgregor album - what a treat awaits me when I do. All the best to you both. Cheers for now, Steve.

The one with the fish eyes and face on the cover. Have not listened to James Taylor in years. I saw him live at Harvard University way back in the late seventies. He played with Joan Armatrading and Pousette Dart Band who was famous for their song "Amnesia".

John and Mark, thanks for another wonderful melange of sounds. I've been enjoying '' The Lost Trident Sessions'' by the Mahavishnu Orrchestra, I'll try and spot their sample on ''Mardi Gras At Midnight'' and try to decode the ''unknown'' sample too. The latest Can live archive release is ''Aston 1977'' recorded around the same time that ''Saw Delight'' was released. Czukay only plays short -wave radio and electronics, Gee handles the bass duties. So far, my favorite of the live Can series is ''Stuttgart 1975''. John, I thought you were going to tell us that Gregory refused to sign his album, or demanded a fee to sign his album. Your ending is much happier! R.I.P., Palle Danielsson, who is not as well known as David Sanborn or Dickey Betts. David Sanborn hosted a great TV show called , ''Night Music'' which had guests like, Sun Ra, James Taylor, Sonny Rollins, Todd Rundgren. I had the pleasure of seeing Dickey Betts with the Allman Brothers and with his own band, Great Southern.

You're right about Palle Danielsson Michael. Fabulous bass player, I had Tomasz Stanko's Litania record in the box but didn't find the right moment to play it at the session. Just to sort out the ATCQ sample question. The mystery sample is evidently Gil Scott-Heron "Peace Go With You Brother" and the Mahavishnu sample is actually on the next track on the EP ....😬 I listened to the Lost Trident Sessions the other day too. I think it might be my favourite Mahavishnu record. When I first saw 'Night Music' on a hotel TV in Manhattan I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Best music TV show ever. Very best John

@@omniversal7 John, it's amazing that there are so many talented bass players from Northern Europe. Palle's work with Jarrett is well- known but he also played in a trio with John Taylor and Peter Erskine. They put out 4 or 5 albums under Peter's name on ECM. I'm glad you feel that way about ''The Lost Trident Sessions'', it could very well, be their best.

Hello Mark and John, if my memory serves me correctly, this is your 31 year anniversary of playing music for each other. Times flies when you're having Fun! Miles' ''On The Corner'' is a prime example of ''Fourth- World Music'', there is nothing else like it. It tickles every part of my brain. I discovered Nate Smith through his work with Dave Holland. James Brown's drummer, Jabo Starks played on Bobby Bland's biggest hits. Anita Baker, Michael Franks and Christopher Cross are three favorites of mine. Threadgill's ''Too Much Sugar For A Dime'' is a masterpiece, fantastic drumming by Gene Lake, son of Oliver Lake. I shared Roy Haynes birthday cake after a show, he celebrated his 80th birthday. He sounded like a young god, blew my mind completely! Helen Merrill did an album with Gil Evans in the late 1980's titled .'' Collaboration''. I never owned it but always look for it.

John and Mark, amazing stretch of 13 years sitting next to each other, today most people could not sit side- by- side with someone else for 10 minutes without getting into a fist- fight or at the very least, a verbal altercation , in an attempt to be the Alpha Male! I just watched a live Pentangle performance from 1972, the band was in top-form and Jacqui McShee's vocals were heavenly. She should be as well-known as Sandy Denny but alas, she never sang with Robert Plant. Zeppelin name -drops John Cameron on their song, ''Royal Orleans'', maybe Page and Jones worked on sessions with him. Tony Oxley was as inventive as Max Roach on the drum-kit, he created his own Language. One of the best examples of his unique style is the album, ''Vade Mecum'' with leader Bill Dixon and two bass players, Barry Guy and William Parker. Luther Vandross was involved with Bowie's ''Young Americans'' album. Bowie rewrote a song by Vandross, which became ''Fascination'' and Luther sings background vocals on the album. There is a brand new Blood Sweat and Tears documentary coming out soon, it's about the American State Department forcing the band to play in Communist countries in the early 1970's! I discovered Abraham Laboriel when he played with Gary Burton. Jerry Garcia's version of ''Shining Star'' sounds like it might be just exactly perfect, will check that out!
