Philippe Saisse

Well here it is. The tune I was talking about in my latest post. "I can tell"  was co-composed by Philippe Saisse. Not sure but I think he even provides backing vocals to Al's lead voice. Couldn't believe this when I first heard this but on the other side it's a fun catchy tune that might stick in your thoughts for the rest of the day. You just wouln't expect this to be from the Al Di Meola catalogue.

The real one? Well, yes obviously. Guess I have to thank the guys at JazzrockTV.de. Flashback to about fifteen years ago when I first discovered Mr. Saisse on Al Di Meola's "Splendido Hotel". More? Check my next post to find out the tune and search the internet for footage of PSP: Saisse in collaboration with Simon Phillips and Pino Paladino. There's some great material from One Shot Not presented by Manu Katché.
