Here’s a big THANK YOU to Jennifer Lynn of Philadelphia’s WHYY fame who digitized my old casette from the soundboard at CBGBs in NYC in 1989 when the Java Jel Band played there.
Jennifer’s cover of Purple Haze with Jorge Castenada on lead guitar, JD Wood on drums and Emanuel Blair Saunders on bass is very gutsy.
We are planning a band reunion in about a month but Blair is not available due to a chronic and unfortunate illness and Jorge is a big reggae music star in Lima, Peru. I am excited!
My son Jonah will fill in on bass and guitar with Jim “Jimmy Jel” Wood on drums with me on guitars and vocals and Jennifer on vocals.
Rock on Jel Heads!
