A message I read a couple of days ago on the Acid Jazz Mailing List said that Australian Funk Bass player Alex Hewetson (ex d.i.g basser) got a callup to fly to London to tryout for the vacant position in Jamiroquai's lineup.
Jamiroquai's first album, Emergency On Planet Earth, was released in the UK this week in 1993. The band's fourth album, Synkronized, was released this week in 1999.
