SkyDog Records Tower, Paris -
Monday, June 9, 2008 @ 6:30-7:30 pm [20-0826]
Special Guests: Gilles, Marc Zermati, Olivier, Philippe LeBras

I spent June 4-9 in Paris as a guest of the Filmer de Musique 2 film festival at a funky arts center called Point Ephemere under the careful sponsorship of my friend Marc Zermati, long-time French cultural warrior and proprietor of SkyDog Records. He arranged my Friday evening concert at Point Ephemere with an exceptional guitarist named Gilles and, two days later, a recording session with Gilles in a proper studio near the Arc de Triomphe known as Starski & Sons. On Monday afternoon before leaving for Charles deGaulle Airport Marc had Gilles, Olivier from Filmer de Musique, and our dear friend Philippe LeBras of SkyRanch Records over to his place in the 10th Arondissment to hang out together, get high and listen to some music. I took advantage of the occasion and set out my little digital recorder to capture our conversation for my radio show, featuring music from Nawfel produced by P. LeBras, selections from a rare Don Covay album reissued by SkyRanch in the early 1990s, and several tracks from Gilles & myself recorded at Starski & Sons Studio the day before. The closing cut, Nawfel’s “Too Mancini,” goes out to my friend Soul Lucille in Firenze.
