  2. Hmmm,a non-mini lp that says "Tronto"....wonder if this one is a counterfeit (eBay seller in China)? Anyone here own this particular edition (VICJ-60023)?

    "Tronto"! Tee hee... We residents know it's "Tronna".

    Spell it how you like , but if you mean to refer to the actual recording location for this album , you better pronounce it , "Vancouver" :)

  3. As a Booker Little fan (and really , is there anyone who isn't ?!) I was wondering if David Hunt's article in the February 1969 issue of Jazz & Pop magazine is worthwhile ? I'm not expecting anything as interesting as Robert Levin's Metronome interview with Little of course , but is there any biographical detail or musical analysis in it that makes it worth reading ?

  4. Agreed that is a great date. Also agree that it is not overly "difficult", even though it still sounds fresh all these decades later.

    In my view there is nothing remotely outré about the writing or the playing on the date . In addition , given Robinson's sound , it might even be fair to characterize it as a 'clarinet record for those who don't like clarinet' .

    Why didn't more ever come of Perry Robinson?

    More what ? He's recorded quite a bit over the years .

    I should add that I think Bill Smith's recordings for Contemporary , RCA and Epic might appeal to those who like Robinson's approach on Funk Dumpling .

  5. I have a Columbia LP by Chico recorded in 61 or 62 under the name of DRUMFUSION; THE DYNAMIC NEW CHICO HAMILTON QUINTET.

    The quintet consisted of Charles LLoyd, Gabor Szabo, Garnett Brown and Albert Stinson. Wonderful music.

    If for nothing else , Lloyd's threnody for fellow Memphian Booker Little , A Rose For Booker , makes the album worth having .
