Came across an mp3 of a killer version of this tune, which *isn't* the one from Gil Scott-Heron/Brian Jackson's "It's Your World" but *is* credited to Brian. The tune is a studio cut and features samples of Gil speaking, starting with "It always feels like.... Rain".Have googled a bit but no joy so far. Anyone have any more info?"When in doubt, ask the Strut..."

There's never been a Brian Jackson solo record...
I thought this too..isnt there also a live version
however the sample thing you elude too has me intrigued
uhummm
found this on smooth-jazz.de that plus the cover =
further investigation shows me that brian jackson has been most recently featured on this poetic masterpiece

Enjoy.
I prefer the original to this ''smooth version'' but whatever floats your boat
The track is called Parallel Lean (featuring gil scott-heron)

mystery solved
I tried AllMusic too, before I ran out of ideas.
I like this one too because I love the chords. Without checking it's already happened, I sense GSH won't be around much longer as his habit has been getting... mo' worserer, even.

Never knew he's had a full-time I.T. career for over 30 years as well as having the legacy of the work he did with Gil. Of course, Gil took Brian's rightful cut, so there was the pain of having to deal with that and supporting five kids. He said they were as cool as they could ever be at the end. Never knew Gil was only 19 when he penned "Home Is Where The Hatred Is" and was completely clean. Esther Phillips, an addict herself who wanted to cover the tune, did not believe he could have written it until she met Gil.
Brian still definitely has it, at 71 - he's very youthful. They were playing "We Out Here" fest on the Sunday and that concluded the tour. Brian was playing keys and flute on Friday. He and the band were in my hotel so we got to hang for a while and talked shit about most things. I already knew Paul Jones (R) on drums for 30+ years from our days and gigs in Manchester. Steve Walters (L) was on bass, he's got a CV with Sir Rod/Amy/George Michael/Mariah... so there were some good stories.
Doan't sleap!
Dang! Nice one
Very cool! I saw his We Out Here show and it was my favourite set of the weekend. Were you playing WOH too?
Nah, I caught them in Leeds the Friday before. Would love to do WOH, the vibe I've heard is chill and the acts are ones I'd actually pay money to see otherwise. Wifey has done Glasto et al and it sounds like an open prison to me.
More than any vinyl (!) I love seeing music being created in front of me, from the ether (or if you're lucky, the spirit realm) by humans with instruments. Done right, it hits a mug right in the realities.
Glasto on the other hand is my nightmare. Musically unappealing / way too big for me but the pop stars and crowds are what most people seem to like about it. Grew up round there so went regularly mid-80s to early 90s when it swelled to about 70,000. Last time I went it was 200,000 all in and I hated it. Now it's about 250,00 punters and probably another 75,000 working. And my idea of festival fun is not Elton John or Foos. WOH tickets for next year just released !
Edit : Someone has already taken the name "Obi Band Kenobi".
We are at Southport (in Bognor Regis) next year if anyone wants to say hi. (Not performing)
