'Odyssey of Iska' came about when Wayne called me personally to play on new album. I was, of course, thrilled beyond belief to asked to play on such a project with those great musicians. Wayne wanted to try electric vibes, which I had been experimenting a bit with with Hubert Law's band. Maybe Wayne heard the recording I did with Hubert and was intrigued. Although I used the vibe pickups occasionally, I wasn't confident with the set up, amp, etc. So, my friend guitarist Steve Khan, came to the session with me and helped me set up, adjust the amp, etc..
