The series of "Live at the Village Gate" albums were recorded throughout the sixties at the Village Gate Club in Grenwich Village, New York. All live recorded, seminal jazz recordings, capturing the excitement and enthusiasm of the crowd.
When I was asked to re-mix a song by spoken word poet Buddy Wakefield I decided to strip away the Delta Blues style of the original, have a soul band play the music and set it in the Village Gate Club on a hot August evening in 1965.
