    Jack is such a fucking enigma. He seems like a GENUINELY out there dude but at the same times he's self aware enough to exaggerate the quirks that make his persona entertaining. What a legend

      He's so wacky and aloof on stage and in interviews, thats it's not immediately obvious how much he cares about his work. But the proof is of course in the results.

      I think he just has a great feel for wording and timing, in some interviews you can tell hes a bit more "normal" so I guess he just turns the dial for whatever the occasion needs

If you want to be as cool as Jack be that cool to your friends. It's the little things that count.

    Jack baby, I've been around for a year now, I've loved every single video you guys put out because it's not JUST good sounds it's good MUSIC you go in depth you analyze you explain WHY things sound good. Maybe it's easier for people who have been brought up around reading sheet music and appreciating subtleties in arrangements. I am by no means trying to toot my own horn all I am is a choir nerd but sightreading comes to us all differently. I'm rambling
    What I really want to get across is that I'm really sad I couldn't make the show here in LA and I hope you guys announce something soon. You're a constant source of inspiration and you've pumped me up for many many days of work and I just can't thank all of you enough.

      Awesome!
      It must be noted that Larry & Fonce productions were anything but low track counts come the mid 70s and on.
      Take a typical song such as "Fantasy". Drums, bass, Rhodes electric piano, congas, guitar 1, percussion FX, guitar 2, acoustic piano, flute, Clavinet, violin, vocals, Solina strings, Hammond organ, horns. That's likely all squeezed onto 16 tracks (maybe 24 track) at Fantasy Studios. That's a lot of real estate :D

    As the Mizell Brothers they produced/arranged albums for Blue Note during the big jazz funk era of the 70s for artists such as Donald Byrd (the Blackbyrds is essentially the Mizell Brothers w/ Byrd), Bobbi Humphrey, Johnny Hammond Smith, and Gary Bartz.
