Quote from prince's official instagram “On January 19, 1987, Prince released the first album from his mysterious jazz-fusion side project Madhouse, titled 8” Wow! That day was Eric Leeds's 35th birthday and my 17th birthday! #madhouse #8 #prince #ericleeds https://www.instagram.com/p/CY836aCPSyf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy Birthday to da man ERIC LEEDS!! 🎂🍾 #musicalinspirations #Prince #ericleeds Reposted from @prince On January 19, 1987, Prince released the first album from his mysterious jazz-fusion side project Madhouse, titled 8. Although the album credits listed a full band of other players, it was actually recorded alone by Prince with additional saxophone and flute parts added by Eric Leeds. "Because it’s not a vocal album, my saxophone and flute is the equivalent of the lead vocalist,” Eric Leeds told @JazzTimesMag in 2020. "He did this for me. I’m humbled by that. I couldn’t tell anyone it was me and him, but I was still humbled.” Read article with link in bio. https://www.instagram.com/earlvox/p/CY8GYJospus/?utm_medium=tumblr

#quarantunes it's Friday and so far everything's been a bit of a madhouse, so I figured I'd put on some actual music by the band #madhouse, an instrumental side project of #prince throughout the 80s that basically married Minneapolis funk to a late 70s / early 80s jazz fusion vibe, with the rumor that all of the members of the band were actually just #EricLeeds and Prince himself. At least until some of the later recordings, of which none have been officially released. #vinyl #funk (at SoFA District) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEccEeDDrEu/?igshid=2xcy7vxaccq7

Oh, how I love this album. 💜 One of my favorite Prince productions ever. It shaped the musician I became in a big way. #musicalinspirations #Prince #TheFamily Reposted from @stpaulpeterson 35 years ago today #TheFamily record came out.
