Don't know where to start (or end) with AJ, I have just about every album by him....Lol...
Just love his voice.

Anybody go to the Wembley arena gig in the early 80's ?
Truly outrageous gig, with David Sanborn band supporting.
Silly amount of talent on show, including.....
Marcus Miller, Nate East, Steve Gadd, Ricky Lawson, Hiram Bullock,
Greg Phillinganes, Bobby Lyle and a few others.

I did read somewhere though, that he once sacked Anthony Jackson from his band, 'cos he wouldn't dance .

Went to see Morrisey-Mullen at the Cricketers (Oval) in the early 80's - they weren't on, and me and my mate were the only ones in the pub except the DJ running through some stuff for the next weekend. He played a couple of tracks off This Time, first time we'd ever heard of him, and luckily, few weeks later we got standing room only tickets for a gig in Victoria - amazing musician.

Yep, I was there. My father was a jazz trumpet player so this was part of my education aged 12!!
