Billy Robinson - Evolution's Blend - Radio Canada International MS-10129. Sleeve: NM / Record: NM. Killer jazz funk lp, very rare on the CBC imprint. Finest condition copy I've ever found. "Billy Robinson belongs to a breed of saxophonists known as "Texas Tenors" for their clear, powerful and exhilarating sound. Born in Fort Worth, Texas in 1939, his jazz roots go back to his father's nightclub where he played boogie-woogie piano as a child, and watched the adult musicians perform. By age 16 his professional career as a tenor saxophonist was firmly established. In 1964 Billy moved to San Francisco where he met with Sonny Rollins, Freddie Hubbard and Ornette Coleman, all of whom encouraged him to move to New York City, which he did in 1969. That same year he was hired by Charles Mingus with whom he toured for one year. Amongst the other great musicians Robinson performed with were Freddie Hubbard, "Philly" Joe Jones, Woody Shaw, John Hicks, Wilbur Ware, Jimmy Garrison, Billy Hart, Archie Shepp and Julius Hemphill. In the early 1970's, Billy Robinson moved to Montreal where he recorded his first album, "Evolution's Blend"" Do not miss this!
