And in addition to Chatgpt I would add that the late 70s and 80s smooth jazz slop did not do saxophones any favours.

Huh I just listened to this one yesterday. It's a good one. My fave Red House is from Randall's Island. It blasts off into outer space.

Electric guitars replaced wind instruments because one man with an amp could be louder than a whole big band. Big savings.

You can still have a sax but they spend most of their time just standing there waiting to take a solo.

I like guitar but all the guitars and amps in the world cannot replace saxophones

I remixed it to tame the excessive ebass and got rid of the watermark.

Here's a unique version, Red House sung to Howling Wolf's Killing Floor. JH is having a good time jamming in a club as opposed to being down with the blues. With Buddy Miles and an inaudible Johnny Winter.

Sure. I'm talking about money, not art.

Written by a band called Big Star that had management troubles and never made it far.

RIP Jimmy Cliff.
From Wiki: James Chambers (30 July 1944 – 24 November 2025), known professionally as Jimmy Cliff, was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul musician. He is considered one of Jamaica's most celebrated musicians, and has been credited with helping to popularize reggae music internationally.

He did popularize reggae with this album in U.S.



From wiki: "Many Rivers to Cross" is a poignant song by Jimmy Cliff, written in 1969, reflecting his struggles as a Jamaican immigrant in the UK and the universal challenges of life.

Background​

"Many Rivers to Cross" was written and recorded by Jimmy Cliff in 1969 during a challenging period in his life. At the age of 21, Cliff had moved to the UK in pursuit of a music career but faced significant difficulties in breaking into the industry. He described this time as frustrating, stating, "I came full of vigor: I'm going to make it... And it wasn’t really going like that". The song emerged from his feelings of loss and confusion, symbolized by the metaphor of "many rivers" representing the obstacles he encountered.
