just spent an hour talking with @misterminsoo about ensemble playing and the magic that comes from it. this video is a chance for me to reflect on how my band really realized the vision buried in this tune
hear the electric lead guitar -- the one squealing sweet, deeply 70s licks in response to the lyrics? that's Chris Boerner, who you might know from @hissgldnmssr -- he's all over this album and brought such a groove
the sax licks of course are @MattyBones, who's got a million different looks - this one, articulating and enriching the cadences of the vocal, is so perfect for this tune -- as is the three-horn bed he arranged
@jonwurster & Peter Hughes going full Mott the Hoople on rhythm section, absolute bedrock, there's no song without that as the foundation
the organ? that's Charles Hodges. He wrote and played the organ parts for "Love and Happiness" and "Let's Stay Together." His reputation precedes him; his was the last overdub, and the one that iced the cake
I think David Hollander's video for the tune captures all the energy of all these people and I am so grateful for it!! //thread
