Glen DaCosta worked with Bob Marley long before he became a superstar, beginning back in early 1972 at Lee Scratch Perrys Blackheart Studio in Kingston, Jamaica, where Bob was passing through with Bunny Wailer and Peter Tosh. At the time Glen DaCosta was there as a regular studio musician, and since Bob knew and liked my work he asked me to do saxophone arrangements for some of his own songs. They all got along well on a personal level, and that combined with the professional aspect meant my credentials with him were doubly good. That was the start of over a decade during which Glen DaCosta spent much time with Bob Marley. Glen DaCosta did scores of shows and concerts together with Bob Marley and Zap Pow, recorded at least six albums with numerous songs and toured extensively, and during this period I discovered facets of Bobs character that not everyone appreciates. For instance, when Glen DaCosta and Bob Marley were arrested at the drugbust in London his sense of humor really came to the fore, helping us all to see the funny side of an otherwise very serious situation. No one else in the group would have dared speak to the British police like he did.
