Don't know about the Palm deal, but it is certainly possible. His latest
album was recorded for Telarc, though, and is titled MODERN ANSWERS TO OLD
PROBLEMS. With a lineup that includes Tony Allen, Courtney Pine, and Chris
Franck from Da Lata, this has GOT to be the bomb. Unfortunately, I haven't
been able to find me a copy yet. :-(
You should definitely check out the two albums he recorded for Island
Jamaica Jazz: BELOW THE BASSLINE and IN SEARCH OF THE LOST RIDDIM. These are
two of the best reggae/jazz hybrids I've heard. Top notch!!
