Great Gregory Isaacs story! Lovely to have you both back.

[@Localbandography]

Saw Delight is my favorite Can LP oddly enough. I have a few different pressings. Lados B was my top jazz release last year even though it was recorded years earlier. The live Tom Skinner on the same label in the lead this year. Fantastic session again guys.

[@drrhythmn]

Lados B is fantastic! Will check out the Tom Skinner - cheers Dave

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.

A real treat with Freddie - his best album to my mind and one of the best Studio One albums ever too! Thanks for dropping by..Mark

Where did my comment go? I was just coming back to do a part two to my part one comment and it is gone. Crazy. I must have left you a fifteen line comment. Oh well. Good morning Mark and John. I will be back and try to remember some of the questions I asked. Wow. I have not seen James Taylor's "One Man Doig" album cover in years. Do either of you like the cover art on Can's "Saw Delight"? If they pressed the actual vinyl to look like a saw blade it would have been much cooler. {smile} Be back in while gents. Great to see you both again. Always missed~ Rob/Boston

Thanks for checking in Rob - looking forward to the rest of your comment! We are still here!

Great stuff as always. Every time you show that ATCQ ep I keep meaning to dig it out and play it, but keep forgetting. I'll have a look for the Busta Rhymes as well because I have that somewhere and I really loved the JayDee remix. Nice to see a mention on the set the trend channel, it a real gold mine of good information and different tunes. All the best!

[@drrhythmn]

Cheers Laurence - Set the Trend is a vital channel for social history - the interviews with Mistry, Norman Jay, and GQ are amazing!

Great Show Guys! John's "David Sanborn" Show corrected my cheeky jokes about him, I stand very corrected. Love that Crusander's record. Jeffrey Toobin wrote a book about the Patty Hearst kidnapping, the group, the symbionese liberation army we're going to replace the national anthem with "Way Back Home" once they took power, they even wrote the Crusaders a letter, they passed and the rest is history.......

[@drrhythmn]

It would be a great improvement on our National Anthem!

[@omniversal7]

😂Could easily have made a cheesy version of the Sanborn show.

[@Milo_Molnar]

Fantastic show. I really like the album mentioned here from Meshell Ndegeocello and saxophone player Immanuel Wilkins is great here. If I can I would like to recommend the album Chimera by the group ORGŌNE. There are songs and the singing worthy of Isaac Hayes or Curtis Mayfield. You have echoes of The Meters here,

[@drrhythmn]

Hi Milo - Im looking forward to her James Baldwin album too - listening to Chimera right now - always appreciate your suggestions - thank you

[@drrhythmn]

Just realised I have the ORGONE version of Funky Nassau already too - great tune!

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.

[@drrhythmn]

Cheers Michael - Stuttgart 1975 is on my listening list now - thank you

[@omniversal7]

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

[@michaelvalentini4869]

@@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. Yes, David Sanborn, like you and Mark, focused on what musicians have in common with each other, instead of keeping musicians in their own cages. Let Freedom Ring!

[@omniversal7]

@@michaelvalentini4869 Thanks for reminding me of that excellent Erskine trio. I have Juni and You Never Know. They're going straight in the playing box! Let Freedom Ring indeed!

[@Paneeks1960]

Is that the same Sam Gendel that was in the band dressed as clowns? They did a video in a public toilet if I remember right. Can you tell me the name of the artist that you showed at the 17:05 mark? 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". I am sure that you both remember it. Love the International Anthem label. I appreciate the breakdown of the Jeff Parker album. I must check out his guitar playing. Mark you talked me into checking out that Jazz Crusaders. Once again. You guys inspire my record buying and my music journey. Thank you both~ Rob/Boston

[@drrhythmn]

That was Meshell N'Degeocello and the album Magic City - a reimagining of Sun Ra's album from the super talented Meshell
