Also contributed to classic Stevie Wonder albums.

A visionary, to be sure.

I somehow never knew, 'til just now, that in his previous incarnation as a bassist he was a founding member of both The Jazz Couriers (with Ronnie Scott, Tubby Hayes and Bill Eyden) and Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated!

I always loved the first Tonto-album...it seemed like a blueprint for what bands like Yellow Magic Orchestra took to new extremes nearly a decade later.
I did read up on Cecil after I discovered his role on Minnie Riperton's Perfect Angel and his work with Stevie Wonder which was certainly groundbreaking, especially Talking Book. Consequently, I am now trawling through his blues period and checking out Blues Incorporated...

A millipede of music. RIP.

I didn't know that Les!

Check:
Malcolm Cecil - Expanded Series III Moog Synthesizer programming

Wow!

Obviously that's the lad's contribution here:



It have looked at those credits hundreds of times and didn't pick that up

Good lad Les

Good lad!
