Ryan JansenHOST
From the UK, that was Jumeirah Kwai with Too Young to Die.

Herbie Mann wanted to make a record with some real Memphis soul in it.
Ryan JansenHOST
So instead of trying to recreate that sound somewhere else, he simply went to Memphis.
Ryan JansenHOST
He set up at Chip's Moments American Sound Studio... brought along jazz heavyweights like Roy Ayers, Larry Correale, and Sonny Chirac, and put them together with some of the best session players that Memphis had to offer.
Ryan JansenHOST
It was a pretty good idea.

And when I met Sylvia, who was first born here from Germany, I knew through the guy J.D. Shaw at the record shop, an artist that I toured with and recorded with, a guitarist named Sonny Chirac, he was from Ossining.

And he played with Herbie Mann, he played with Pharoah Sanders, and he just took us kids really on.
Dan MayHOST
