A group called Mind and Matter performed at Uncle Sam’s in about October 1978. Members of the group include Turhan Bey (not the movie star from the ’40s) and Ira “Smitty” Smith. A 19-year-old Jimmy Jam was in the band. The performance was taped and shown on the first episode of a KSTP program called “Steamroller,” hosted by Marc Goldstein and Molly Lynch. The episode was aired on December 22, 1978, and can be seen Here. Thank you to show producer Ossian Or for the information on the show! I found a few other performances of Mind and Matter ranging from 1976 to 1979.
