- Just was in a record store looking at those ZYX reissues of ESP dates -
- fairly classy that they put in the musicians' discographies! Then I
- wandered over to the used LP section where I found a related true oddity:
- "The Traveller," by Perry Robinson, a clarinetist who worked with
- Archie Shepp and Henry Grimes, among others(?) in the early 60s.
- The album's from 1977, on Chiaroscuro records, with piano, bass, and
- drummer Philip Wilson (R.I.P.) the only name I recognized. It kicks:
- Robinson's playing is full of emotion, both sweet, and honking. He
- covers Willem Breuker's "Ham and Eggs Tango" (where does Breuker do this?).
- And he looks *real* hippie on the cover. Check out more Robinson (if
- you can find it - tho' I believe a ZYX mentioned something he did
- recently.)

- P.S. And Perry Robinson it turns out, is the son of Earl Robinson,
- folkie and writer of "I Dreamed I Saw Joe Hill Last Night." Wow.
