I didn't realise that August Darnell was still around the place
performing.

What I did want to ask is whether Dr Buzzards Original Savvanah Band are
still performing and recording.

I picked up an indepedent release that they must have done around the 89
- 91 period about three years ago. I found it in the cheapies bin in an
independent record staore who normally specialised in thrash. Wondering
if they have done anything since.

Since we are on a theme...... is Coati Mundi (aka Andy Hernandez) still
around? After he was pushed from Kid Creole in the mid 80's he released a
solo album on Virgin and then and then and then ...... nothing.

On a completely different thread - picked up the second Digable Planets
album and its seriously fly. Aurally they are on another planet. Also
picked up the third Brand Nubian album. Whilst it is slick, has not had
the immediate impact of the first two albums.

he still into a jazz funk thing or is he straightahead jazz???
