re: #630 Abu Al-Poopypants
Vertu. Never heard it, though. I saw him at Symphony Hall 3-4 years ago (I think) with Bela Fleck (banjo) and Jean-Luc Ponty (violin).
I was jamming with some folks in Concord, Mass. and I met a guitarist and bassist who were involved with the project somehow. I forget the names. I did buy the album. It was overprocessed and didn’t have much soul, as I recall. I think the world could use a fusion revival.
