This record was labeled funky jazz guitar and was arranged and
conducted by Monk Higgins. Robinson was supported by King
Errison on bongos & congo, Monk Higgins on organ, Paul Humphrey on
drums and Joe Sample on piano .
Robinson got
his start as a blues musician backing Little Walter on the Chess label,
before releasing some jazz albums on World Pacific.
Before Six is an
upbeat jazz tune with some congas and bongos as backing, but it sounds a
little over orchestrated. Coming Atlantis is a strange mix between
funky versus and a really light chorus. (I’m A) Fool For You is a Curtis
Mayfield song and Robinson whips out the distortion and wah wah pedals
to add some more funk to the mix. Black Fox has a bunch of strings at
the beginning, but then gets down to a nice funky groove. Rita is a
fast-paced soul-jazz song that builds a little tension at the beginning
by slowing down, before the rest of the song takes off. Together a very
nice listening experience.
Not as downright funky as Grant Green, but
much better than say George Benson or Charlie Byrd.
