Leaving Africa now & heading on to a run of Dub adjacent sounds, but first, although this is not Dub but a blast of jazz/funk/classical, I'm sharing it now, because I feel like it.
A brief interlude before some Ambient Dub, Dub techno, & Dub house. Just a palate cleanser before the rest of Dubwise.
I gathered up this one quite recently...in fact when I was working on the X-Ambias Day shares this past December.
In the essay sheet included in Outland, Bill sez:
" I got along very well with Peter and obviously we did many things together. I think of his stories. Starting out, he was playing guitar and worked in a bank. Everyday going home, with his guitar, he would pass a river, and stop and play with the river flowing. I think that’s where the ambient obsession began. I made a piece with Bernie Worrell called "By a River (for Peter)". It is the first track of the box set compilation Die Welt ist Klang: a Tribute to Pete Namlook."
Well, that track is on this mixtape that Bill made for Sean Westergaard for broadcast on his July 29, 2016 show What It Is on WCBN. It was Bill's high-five way of sharing his camaradarie for Bernie Worrell, a lost friend.
Bernie had died the previos June 24.
