Great session. I also love this album by SML At first listen, it clearly looks like a jazz album. However, in addition to jazz elements, the musicians also play electronics, krautrock, dub, etc, If I can I would like to recommend the album I Sign, I Resign by Belgian female artist Annelies Monseré.
Good morning Mark and John. Fantastic spending some time with you both on this sunday morning. Oh Yeah I have not heard. I did see him live with Jeff Beck in 1976. I think I may have told you both already. A young band named Lynyrd Skynyrd backed them up. Hmm. Did you say that this Pharoah Sanders live album is a go-to compared with others? That was funny Mark. I too thought that he was brushing his teeth on the cover of the album. {smile} Excellent drummer Terry Williams on that Man album. He later went on to play with Rockpile and Dire Straits. I have been having good luck with the International Anthem label releases. Will check out Cat Pack. Con't~ Rob/Boston
Hi Rob. Hope you're well. On the Pharoah/Connors live album. No it's not very good imho. The studio one I showed in the vid is much better if a bit of an acquired taste....
Good to see your smiling faces always, John and Mark, not just sometimes. Jan Hammer toured with Sarah Vaughan and recorded with Elvin Jones and Jeremy Steig before John chose him for Mahavishnu Orchestra. Bobby Womack's brother Cecil, was married to Sam Cooke's daughter, Linda. The couple recorded under the name, Womack and Womack, their ''Conscience'' album was one of the first compact discs that I bought circa 1988, the album is a stone- cold classic, a true family affair! Eddie Jobson's album, ''Theme Of Secrets'' is a solo synclavier recording which predates Zappa's solo synclavier masterpiece, ''Jazz From Hell''. Despite the cheap cover art, Jobson's album is quite nice, totally different from Zappa's. Geri Allen played on Ornette Coleman's two companion albums, ''Sound Museum: Hidden Man'' and ''Sound Museum: Three Women''. The fact that Ornette chose Geri to play piano is interesting, he had not included any piano in his bands in the previous 35 years!
Hi Michael and great to hear from you as always. I love Womack & Womack too. I saw them live in the mid-80s. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they had an incredible on stage chemistry. Geri Allen is fantastic on those two Ornette CDs. Not an easy task after as you say all that time without a piano. Cheers John
Hi Michael - I always look forward to your thoughts and comments - such great knowledge and expertise! I will look out for the Eddie Dobson album - I am pretty sure I saw a version of Curved Air in the 70's that had Eddie on violin and Stewart Copeland on drums. I love the Womack and Womack Love Wars album...it was breath of analog fresh in the midst of a heavily gated sound palette of the 80's!
No matter what time it is during the day or night. Little Feat is always enjoyable. I got to ask you both. Why is it that so many people like Two Against Nature? First glance I thought that the Mazarati album was a Ted Nugent release. But I did not think that you listened to Nugent at all John. {smile} Everything that you both showed was interesting. I have a few that will be heard. The Mazarati album for one and the Cat Pack. Have a great day and continue to enjoy the endless summer. Good to know that the weather has been solid. It has been a pretty good summer here too. Just wish that I had the ample time to enjoy it more. Talk soon M & J~ Rob/Boston
Always great to fit Fela Kuti into a session.

I think I once had an Amboy Dukes single but that was about it for me and Ted J
