"...
Rico's warm and expressive trombone sound and his solo style has always
been highly estimated by fans and musicians, and even now, at the age of
sixty, he hasn't stopped recording for innumerable bands and producers
all over the world. But most of all, Rico loves to play with his own band
which he formed some time ago, comprising some of the most gifted of Jamaica's
and England's session and studio-musicians, with a rhythm section that
provides a real backbone to the grooving and swinging tunes and a horn
section that blows up many storms. This current CD was recorded live in
a crowded club in Dortmund, Germany in March '94. While it is sometimes
somewhat raw and funky, it is not at all unsophisticated, and as you listen
to this fine piece of art, you will quickly feel the special atmosphere
that Rico and his band create at all of their gigs - a sure delight for
all music lovers ..."
