[1] Guitarist Tuck Andress met singer Patti Cathcart at an audition in San Francisco in 1978.

[2] Before this, Andress studied classical music at Stanford and was a session musician with the Gap Band.

In The Jazz Book, the authors write that Andress uses "unusual percussive and tapping techniques to create rhythmically unbelievable effects".
