He and ...I knew Shamek fairly good back in the day. He and Norman complimented each other well. The music is first class although somewhat some what advance on his understanding of tone and tempo. I recall when the group played at Bronx Community College on early 1974. The group left folks amazed. Through contact with with Shamek and Norman I was able to understand what Fist Impressions was all about. Shamek was laying tribute to his first born, his daughter. That's why the under was a little far off but pricise. Shamek Farrah was a friend of mine back in the Bronx 1973-1977. I have always enjoyed listening to this group. In fact I was supposed to do the linar notes for his second album, but O was out of town when the album dropped<br /> I am sorry I miss the opportunity to help expand the audience for the group. To me that eas a missed chance to bring more ears for the misic. That is JAZZ music ya hear.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445395641264497082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3266956345774469059.post-55214816043076589982012-02-22T14:01:23.543+11:002012-02-22T14:01:23.543+11:00Hi Simon, just wonder which ATCQ song sampled Firs...Hi Simon, just wonder which ATCQ song sampled First Impressions?
