BOTSWANA SWEDEN JAZZ EXCHANGE

I first met Uncle John at a hotel in Stockholm. We were gonna reherse for a TV - performance the next day with Shanti Lo. He was the guitar legend, playing with Paul Simon on the Graceland tour and much much more, an amazing musician with a totally unique sound. And style! His snake skin pattern shirts and flare on stage was one of a kind! Anyway - we met, and we started to jam, we played Misty. John started crying, cause the connection was so real. The magic between musicians touching souls in the music. We’ve had so much fun on stage together. He’s one of the great musicians who also encouraged my piano playing and songwriting - and I am forever grateful for my moments with uncle John!
