[@taz9572]

Had it for several years but cannot think where I got it from. I've 12" record but I don't think it was on there....Several copies of the track (This track "Sweet Freedom" is my all time favourite song. Play it at least once a day lol. If I remember where I got instrumental from 12" and 7" I will let you know. I am pretty sure I cut the 12" down to make 7". Just love it. Drive my family nuts playing all the time in car lol

[@gerardmcmillan8591]

It was because I have the 12" and it with other versions was on it.

[@taz9572]

[@tur74d56]

Isn’t this on the B Side of the 12inch Record

[@taz9572]

Darren T Yes it is

[@afrosensuous]

Who plays the solos? Does anyone know? Who played.. Sax Trombone Guitar I know the trumpet is Jerry Hey

[@edgarbeat275]

I am sure it's Quincy Jones band it's has the tight well honed produced sound amazing. I did see a credit on Ya Mo be there. Also Quicny has huge at that era. I always thought this track had a jazz synth fusion sound. Blown away by the 2nd part and Quincy immediately popped into my head. I need to look into it to 100% to confirm but my ears telling me Quincy 😊 link below in the info mentions Quincy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6nLhoOYhcygmZo

[@lionelholmesjr617]

If Q has something to do with it u know that the Brothers Johnson r in there

[@pnwjazzer5849]

(Seawind Horns) Either Kim Hutchcroft or Larry Williams on sax solo, Bill Reichenbach on the bone

[@chriso8193]

​@@edgarbeat275 This song is all Rod Temperton and no Quincy. The regular version of this song has a synth bass, which has no credit, but may be sax player Larry Williams.....but the long version has a bass guitar solo, a "rhythm" guitar solo & an "acoustic guitar w/scat" solo. The regular version credits Paul Jackson, Jr for guitar, who also plays bass. So I believe it's him, as there is no other guitar player at that time that scatted other than George Benson. The sax solo is also Larry, the Trumpet solo is the Master Jerry Hey ...

[@chriso8193]

@@pnwjazzer5849 Right on the point, my man.....Seawind!!!! I forgot about Bill on bone & Gary Grant on trumpet

[@stphndelvacchio46]

this has been sample 2 times but i can do a better job

[@jh98231]

@Stephen DelVacchio... how can you do a better job than the original? You're delusional.

[@taz9572]

I'm still waiting lol
