Composite Truth |
This lp marked Neftali's first Mandrill Lp. Composite Truth went on to be Mandrill's Biggest seller with hits like: Fencewalk, Hang Loose, Polk Street. This string of hits put Mandrill in the Headlining spotlight, touring with everyone from Deep Purple and Savoy Brown to James Brown and the Jackson 5 to Duke Ellington and the Symphony of the New World Orchestra. |
Footnote: Mandrill auditioned many other drummers and it came down to Dennis Davis and Neftali. Neftali got the gig with Mandrill and Dennis got the David Bowie gig. |
