      I thought so too. He has such a positive, forward-looking disposition. It shatters some of the notions we might have about the connections between the lifestyle of musicians and morality..., or even Godliness. He is a good soul.

      ........after reading, my wife was so impressed by the quality of the great gentleman, and told me without equivocation that I should add the following to those qualities and virtues i already listed - superior diction , charm, composure and calm, even when stormy questions were fielded. Agbaletu should continue to bring "egg heads" like this for interviews. It was an academic discourse! Kudos to the anchor or moderator too.

    @babarindewilliams6890 Місяць тому +30

    Hello Feyi. Good to see you with the white biabia 😂. Anyways some corrections. Egbon Bisade's attempt to establish a band did not begin with Lagbaja. I remember in 1988 he used to belong to a 2 man jazz band called Itan. I believed he used to play the bass then and egbon Enitan his colleague used to play the sax. I know this well because they featured at Jazz 38 Ikoyi where I used to play with baba Tunde and France.... the extended family. I was then in unilag and you were in yabatech but squatting in lag. Then there was Bisade and colours when he became a fully blown sax player. We used to jam then at jazz et al (bread and butter on Allen) every friday. He became lagbaja after all these experimentations. So the audition you claimed to have attended must have been in the mid 80s. My point is : egbon Bisade's Journey did not start as lagbaja. Heck he even produced Fuji sandoka's album in the 80. The first Fuji album to feature the bass guitar. My name is Rinde williams. I left Nigeria in 1997 so you may not remember me.

    The songs on the album titled LAGBAJA include, SIDE BY SIDE, IKIRA, NAIJA GO SWEET AGAIN, SWEET MOUTH, NO TOUCHING, CAMPUS etc That album was late 1994, not 1995.
