Steve Winwood – Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals

Jim Capaldi – Percussion, Vocals

A nice set from the boys and supremely high quality with solo piano and Jim on percussion which is probably best described as unobtrusive. Capaldi is worth reading up on more as he led a fascinating life  and is less well known than his super star friend and colleague Winwood. Though the two contributed to pretty much everything the other did it was always Winwood that achieved the spotlights and yet Capaldi wrote well and had hits too. He sadly died of stomach cancer in 2005 aged 60.

Dangerous Minds (check them out!) over on their blog has posted a beautiful video set from TRAFFIC this Sunday morning and what better to listen to to make your Autumn Sunday go with a smooth laid back vibe!? Here in '72 it is worth reflecting that Steve Winwood was still only 24. 

Nice notes too from Dangerous Minds to remind us what it was all about . . . . . . . . . .
