At the film première, you also mentioned the period between 1968 and 1974 speaking to you recently.
It’s really interesting, particularly Charles Stepney (1931−1976), the arranger [and producer]. He worked on Earth, Wind & Fire records, the Minnie Riperton record ‘Les Fleur’. There’s something about that music – it’s beautiful, it’s spiritual, it’s psychedelic. It’s got amazing arrangements and beautiful, beautiful vocals. There was a lot of cross-pollination going on at that time. Miles Davis goes electric in that period in In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. I love the sound of those records.
