Captured during his guest appearance with the Freestyle
Collective at the fashionable Original 4 Bar in Leicester
-a hot night of CC on top form with a kicking band singing
6 of his songs and 2 great covers including eccentric theremin
appearances...

background
Each
month the Freestyle Collective invite a guest performer to
front their session. Once chosen they have 1 night's rehearsal
and the session is 3 days after that. ~
The band did an amazing job soaking up 6 Conway originals
and his 2 chosen covers - the Pharoah Sanders/Leon Thomas
classic The Creator...., and Teddy Randazzo's Latin song he
wrote for Little Anthony & The Imperials. It was a hot
steaming night and the music reflected that.
As well as capturing several of CCs rare songs live, the recording
captured an electric night at the O4 that regulars were talking
about for some time. The theremin was especially noted. CC
threw himself into this session and it shows.
