This is pretty much what it’s like recording in Kingston. If I get to cut an album with Reggae Powerhouse Band it’s going to be WILDFIRE. I got bucket of hooks, songs, ideas for a Jamaican album that could be a really hot mix of what Jamaican session musicians are gonna do, and what I am gonna do…
I LOVE that meeting in the middle. It’s not about compromising. It’s about working with experts like Alex George, trained in the holy arts of Reggae, that know what the hell I’m trying to do, and what I would do if I have support on a scientific and spiritual level.
It’s still funk to me. It’s SOUL MUSIC. It’s still the Diaspora. It’s still finding what fits and what you didn’t know what was missing.
Alright back to finally getting Barbara J Mitchell my ‘Free Your Mind’ package for KEXP, on my one day off.
Hats off to Toots. Reggae got SOUL. It’s closer to Memphis that Seattle as a bird flies.
