Eat at Jo’s Restaurant, Melkweg, Amsterdam -
Sunday, May 11, 2008 @ 4:45-5:45 am [20-0821]

My first radio episode after returning to Amsterdam for the spring incorporates a “live” performance by Mark Ritsema and myself at Eat at Jo’s in the Melkweg this Sunday afternoon with a number of selections in rough mix form from my new recording just made in the Motor City last month, THE DETROIT ALBUM, featuring Lyman Woodard or Phil Hale on keyboards, Ms. Thornetta Davis on backing vocals, Jeff “Baby” Grand on guitar, Chris Rumel or Ibraheem Jones on bass, Tino Gross or Milton Hale on drums, Johnny Evans on tenor sax, James O’Donnell on trumpet, John “T-Bone” Paxton on trombone, Rick Steiger on baritone sax and, from a “live” recording at Cobb’s Corner in 1979, the Lyman Woodard Organization backing my closing number for Henry Normile called “My Buddy.” That’s Henry’s voice introducing and closing the final track, recorded in January 1979 the day before he was murdered next door to Cobb’s Corner in the middle of our recording sessions for Lyman’s album Don’t Stop the Groove.
