Anyone else notice that Simon Katz only appear in TWM videos
I was watching high Times singles today and noticed something never before. Simon Katz only appears in music videos from Traveling Without Moving Era, even though he was around during Space Cowboy and Synkronized. I know that he joined the band during the recording of Space Cowboy but he did record some of the songs on there, so they could not have filmed the videos before the album was completed. Strange. |

I'm pretty sure he joined in 1995, cause he's not on any of 1994 live recordings. |

Correct, Gavin Dodds was the tour guitarist from 1992-1994. Katz replaced him in 1995 for touring. Note that usually only the core members were in the videos anyway. _________________ Bass to jazz.... j-j-j-jazz to bass... |

In the 'Return Of The Space Cowboy' album, the first member of the band that leaves is Nick Van Gelder, the drummer(but his playing in 'The Kids' was left in the album), and Derrick McKenzie appeared for the auditions.. He was helped by a friend for the audition and he was selected six and a half hours after his second audition in January 1994. And finally, Gavin Dodds left the band as musician and Simon Katz took his place (both recorded the album), the same happened for Maurizio Ravalilo and Sola Akingbola. Percussionist Sola joined the band in 1995.
That was the main formation during the tours (Maurizio Ravalilo and Gavin Dodds starting the tour, and it finished with Sola Akingbola and Simon Katz in their places). Adrian Ravel in flute, Mike Smith in sax, and Winston Rollins in trombone joined the band on that same tour. |
but teecheedeedee you are probably right about the core members thing |
