Nice one Quimsy, thanks. Covers all sorts of bases doesn't it ? 'Pointe des Chateaux' reminds me of some later Airto and Flora Purim ...
agreed - it is a little "all over the shop" - but what it does it does well IMO.
take care
Really nice rhodes playing too ... "West Indian Meditation" and "Butterfly Island" in particular ..
Never Enough Rhodes...
:)
Many thanks for this!
Cheers,
