I think it's cool that Brian wanted to play with some of the music students. Those students will never forget that gig!!!

I love this version of Cantaloupe Island. Note that instead of playing D-7 for 4 measures they play D-7 for 2 measures and Db7 for two measures. Very cool.

[@EPICSOUNDTRAX]

I think it is the version from his album .probably his re harmonization.

[@bassmonk2920]
