GEORGE MICHAEL – FAITH

GEORGE MICHAEL – FAITH with special guest JOHN ALTMAN. This interview took place before and after we listened to the vinyl album. It has to be said that John Altman is one of the great raconteurs and his stories caused many a jaw to drop in what was a truly classic CAT Club gathering. Unfortunately, George Michael didn't get much of a look in, but after listening this podcast you will understand why we've invited John back in 2024 for 'An Evening with John Altman.' So, back to George Michael's 'Faith' . . .One of the best selling albums of all time and the first album by a white solo artist to hit number one on the Billboard Top Black Albums chart.  Faith featured JOHN ALTMAN on saxophone. John is also a composer, arranger and conductor who has worked with Muddy Waters, Jimmy Page, Nick Drake, Tina Turner, Barry White, Chet Baker, Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, Chaka Khan, Quincy Jones, Björk, Peter Green and many, many others. His tv and film work includes James Bond Movies, Monty Python, Titanic, The Sheltering Sky, The Rutles and Léon. In the interviewer’s chair, performing admirably under the circumstances, was JASON BARNARD.
