Flux Capacitor


Here is a live performance by the fusion power trio, PSP. Three incredible musicians who have individual histories as producers, arrangers, studio musicians for just about everyone on the planet. Simon Phillips the drummer began in Toto,
Pino Palladino has become one of my favorite bass players. He seems to be able to empathetically absorb and immerse himself in any style. I have seen him play straight jazz and all styles of pop.
The Keyboard artist is Phillipe Saisse, who has been plaing and producing since the early 80's. He works with David Bowie, produced and played with Tina Turner, and is an innovative plaer who takes advantage of the best of the old and new technologies.

Phillips and Palladino have been the rythmn section of the present version ofThe Who for the last 5 years.
PSP started to play together in Italy 2 years ago and this is music cemented by a personal friendship, common interests and sheer trust. I saw them perform this piece last night on the French/German Television show One Shot Not, hosted by the drummer Manu Katche.
