Une très belle surprise ce soir, puisque Mark Slotkin, le producteur d'un des plus beaux albums du label UNI (The Aquarians - Jungle Grass) nous a laissé 3 commentaires suite à l'article écrit sur cet album!!
Merci à lui. C'est pour ces moments sublimes que nous travaillons!!

Quelques précisions du producteur m'ont été données par mail :

"Hutherson and Lynn Blessing played Vibes. Bobby played the ones that had a black feeling to it, Lynn, more of the jazz part.
Jungle Grass was a semi-hit and was used all over the easy listening stations as their theme.
The concept was an updated, much hipper Brazil '66. Vladimir came to me with this idea and I financed the whole thing. All tunes were original, he arranged each instrument with charts, and he played piano and conducted. I got the "sound" and the mix right. I also provided the Gemini Twins as they were under contract to me.
I came up with the Jungle Grass title. Both for the song and naturally the album. Uni dropped the ball on this album, wasn't there thing, but 38 years later, still sounds good.
There was a couple of rehersals and then the whole album was done in one 10 hour session!. I don't know what has become of
VV, but he is brilliant." Mark Slotkin, producteur
