Tenor saxophonist
Spike Robinson
has had many visits to England throughout his career, including time spent as a member of London's Club 11 in the early 1950s. This Capri LP (not yet out on CD) finds
Robinson
back in England recording with veteran trombonist
Roy Williams
and a fine British rhythm section (pianist
Ted Beament
, bassist
Paul Bridge
and drummer
Allan Ganley
). The music is predictably excellent (
Spike
has long been very consistent), containing swinging renditions of such standards as
"Have You Met Miss Jones,"
"The Man I Love" and "Indian Summer." ~ Scott Yanow
