I discovered Mother Earth on a 3CD collection in the UK (this is ...... Acid
Jazz), and Jesse was their featured track. Another compilation CD (phials of
Acid Jazz) has a track called Mr. Freedom. I just bought a double CD with 2 of
theirs on it : Stoned Woman and You Have Been Watching (1997, Snapper Records).
All this stuff is real 'acid jazz' - smooth and peaceful stuff. Tim - if you are
at Liverpool you ought to be able to get hold of all this easily. Enjoy ....
