Jimmy and John Pauls Session work

[Sathington Willoughby]

^ Rod Stewart originally did that song as a session singer for an Australian group called Python Lee Jackson. His payment was a set of car seat covers. Powerful organ in this version - anyone we know?

Cool info there jim, thanks for sharing! Did a little Googling to try to find the organ player, no luck though.

Just discovered this one a few months ago, great Floyd-esque track, David's playing is reminiscent of his work on 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' IMO.

Nice find, Willoughby. Enjoyed that. Maybe the closest we'd get to a Zep-Floyd. Now if we could get Jones, Gilmour, and Mason to perform No Quarter.

No reason Gilmour and JPJ couldn't do further projects - and like No Quarter, imagine the epic songs they could cover! That was JPJ on organ, on "In a Broken Dream", BTW. The picture of him with a bass was just a generic one, I believe.

David Gilmour is releasing his next solo cd in Sept 2015. Richard Wright was the keyboard player on his last solo tour, since Richard is no longer with us, maybe JPJ on keys?!

The links above and below also include background info about the artist, with the latter mentioning Jonesy playing live with her previously:

The Barbican also produced a three-night series of shows by Traoré that summer, entitled Donguili – Donke – Damou (Sing – Dance – Dream). For the Sing evening, held at the Barbican, Traoré and mandolinist/former Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones joined young musicians from Traoré’s training program in Mali, Foundation Passerelle.
