Paul´s percussionist Jamey Haddad who´s in Simons band since the 1999 Simon/Dylan tour constantly for the last 4 years and was one of the main band members of the You´r the One album appeared on the latest Lenny Kravitz song ´We Want peace´ playing djembe
It seems as if Paul has reduced his band to 5 main members now (Vincent, Steve Gadd, Bakithi, Mark and Tony) and Jamey is not working with Paul on the new album (hopefully finished and release in fall 2003)
In a 60 minute interview Paul gave a few days ago he didn´t answer the question how the new album will sound or what direction he will go - he said there are only 3 songs, so he cant´ answer the question.
My guess is that YTO was the last album with a big percussion background, his new sound will be more dominated by guitars, like his early work.
