    So, I've had this cassette (a board tape) sitting in a drawer of mine since it was recorded which was 1990.

    This was the original lineup of his band:

    Othello Molineaux: steel pans
    Abel Pabon: keys
    Marcus Willett: bass
    Jonathan Joseph: drums

    (special guest)
    Eugene Goss: vocals, percussion

    I only had a few pics of this band, so they are thrown in randomly in the video portion.

    I cleaned it up a fair amount and enhanced it as best I could, but in the end it's still a 30-year old cassette recording. Anyway here it is...feel free to comment.

    I really enjoyed that live recording. I wish the Greenwich Tavern would still have acts as good as this today.

    I finally got to listen to the rest of this. I still think it was a great recording of a wonderful concert.

    Thanks for posting this, Marcus; can this become available for purchase as a CD (I know, that makes me old fashioned, eh? :laugh:)?

    I have Othello's It's About Time album with you on it Marcus, I bought it over 25 years ago way before Talkbass, you kill on it! I remember the BIG World label had a bunch of cool releases at the time like Manny's Car Wash and Kenwood Dennard's solo album.

    Make that three of us, as I bought mine way back when it was first released. :)

    Othello played at Night Town a couple years ago, it was great to see and talk with him. :cool:

    Thanks guys, yeah those were good times. The band was actually tighter at that time than when we did the record, that was like 18 months later and we hadn’t been working as much right before it. The record turned out well, not complaining I just feel like it would have been even better if we had recorded it at that time.

    @jerry yeah BigWorld treated us well and Neil Weiss (think that was his name) that owned the label was supportive and was also pretty excited about Kenwood’s CD which had just come out.

    @Jeff Scott, don’t really see any way it could be put out as a CD, but I could upload the file if you have a Dropbox or something. Without video it should be around 500MB.

    Back in the day before youtube, internet etc. I remember the buzz around Kenwoods's album because it had the first sighting of Marcus slapping Teen Town.;)
