Detroit 420 Party, Jazz Loft, Detroit
April 20, 2008 @ 9:00 pm-2:00 am [20-0823]
The 4th Annual John Sinclair 420 Party.

This episode comes beaming out of the Jazz Loft in downtown Detroit from the 4th Annual John Sinclair 420 Party, Music & Art Fair produced by Holice P. Wood every April 20 in celebration of the benevolent weed and the spirit of freedom and resistance shared by so many of us who smoke it in the Motor City & environs. The 2008 show added an opening set by Glowb, my homies from Flint, and I joined them on a couple of numbers before the Holice P. Wood All Stars—Chris Codish, keyboards & vocals; Bobby East, guitar; Paul Randolph, bass & vocals; and Skeeto Valdez, drums—took the stage for the rest of the evening, with Mike Boulan of No Cover Records in the house and at the recording controls to take everything down. The “live” selections from the 420 Party are capped by closing music recorded the next night at the Jazz Loft for my project THE DETROIT ALBUM with Jeff Grand on guitar, Johnny Evans on tenor saxophone, Phil Hale at the keyboards, and Tino Gross on drums, with my very special guest Thornetta Davis adding her voice to the ensemble. All music recorded in Detroit April 20-21 by Mike Boulan and edited & assembled at the HeadPress Bunker in London on May 24, 2008.
