Musician Leslie Mandoki and His Mandoki Soulmates Deliver Love Letter to Music Enthusiasts with New Album, A Memory Of Our Future

The supergroup's latest masterpiece, recorded completely in analog vinyl from start to finish, is a call to action, if you will, against division and for humanity…something we can all use right about now

Influential producer, musician, and world-renowned Hungarian singer Leslie Mandoki formed his Mandoki Soulmates band 32 years ago alongside founding members Jethro Tull’s Ian Anderson, Cream’s Jack Bruce, and guitar great Al Di Meola.

When he asked me if I’d rather get a handwritten love letter or a text, my answer was a handwritten love letter. And that’s literally what he and his army of soulmates have delivered in their latest album, A Memory Of Our Future, a jazzy, prog rock love letter to all who appreciate truly great music in authentically beautiful vinyl form. 

To make it all the more lovely, it comes complete with an actual 12-page booklet of liner notes handwritten by Mandoki himself. I sat down with him virtually to hear all about it.
