Friday Drive
Friday September 18th, 2020 with Trevor Walker
Toot's tribute medley + short spotlight on Sabu Martinez Afro Temple

With the passing of Frederick Nathaniel (Toots) Hibbert I did some reminiscing and the thought came to do a medley of my favourites from the crates. As a result we'll be running through various singles and excerpts from albums featuring releases ranging from the late '60's through the early '70's for the first hour and into the first quarter of the the second hour. In the remainder of the show we'll take a listen to excerpts from the exceptional "Burned Sugar" and "Afro Temple" from master percussionist Louis "Sabu" Martinez both recorded in 1973. Both stellar examples of Afro Latin Jazz Funk spiritual Jazz. Hope you enjoy the ride! Happy listening.

Toots was a giant of a man, super cool and tremendously energetic. What a fantastic catalog of music he has left too. Had the privilege of helping organize his concert at Café Campus in MTL back '89-'90-ish. What a performance that was, as we're subsequent ones after.... R.I.P.
