Maynard-joy, chops, sound, swagger. Unmatched trumpet talent. Multi-instrumentalist. Incredible body of work over decades. The talent that went through his bands might exceed anybody’s. Just piano-Joe Zawinul, Mike Abene, Jaki Byard, Chick Corea, Pete Jackson, Allan Zavod, Jeff Lashway, John Toomey, Christian Jacob. RIP to a giant.
I was lucky to see him and visit afterwards, he was good to everyone. He had no reason to trust me, but he/they allowed me to help strike and load the bands equipment. Truly a lifetime experience. I really miss him. There's never been one like him before, during or since.
Thats right, rub salt into my wounds lol x so jealous of all of you x i ADORE this bandx huge gratitude to both of u x so kind of you to upload the.vids x
Remember getting sent this on white label by the record co. Less than 20 secs into it, i knew this was gonna be a massive dance-floor tune (at least in my club!). Played it to death, and still my all-time fave JK tune. Monster!!!!
I was there and thoroughly enjoyed the performance. However, Jay Kay needs to show more appreciation towards his band. He never properly introduced any band member or thanked them, then did his own victory walk in the audience. Ive nicknamed him Camera Hog atm.
Whoever was producing the video didn’t do a good job of highlighting the band. There was one song during a sax solo the camera showed Jay drinking water and catching his breath. Maybe being a festival they weren’t familiar with this artist 🤷♂️
