If anyone wants to hear rare recording of Fernando playing with JOHN McLAUGHLIN'S ONE TRUTH BAND (with L Shankar - electric violin), the audio concert website JAZZFUSION(dot)TV has a One Truth Band concert from Melbourne,Australia recorded in 1979 .
He was raised not three miles from me. He is from the Woodward & State Fair area and I am from the 7 Mile & Mound Rd. area. He may have gone to Pershing High School. I am talking Detroit, yawl. I met him by chance at a Sunday afternoon jam session at Alvin's in Detroit. The M.C. announced his name and I ran right up to him. I was hot off of his two Nemperor releases with Jan Hammer. I couldn't believe that I just ran into him. He has come a long way. Sooo smooth.
What a fantastic musician!
I have been lucky enough to see him live twice.
Once with the Jan Hammer and Jeff Beck and once with
Jan Hammer /Tony Williams Group.
His playing on the old Jan Hammer Group Cd's was great.
Check them out if you can find them.

I got to work for Fernando a couple years ago on a Lou Reed tour. He was great guy and great bassist. He taught me how to play the KYDD Bass!
