A review of Roby from France. (www.bluestation.fr)

Bluesstaion.fr
Roby "SUPERSAX" EDWARDS (USA)
Originaire de Pittsburgh, il est incontestablement un des dignes heritiers
des honkers et autres hurleurs des annees 50.
Avec ses influences ancrees dans le jazz tendance R&B, jump et rock'n'roll,
Roby Edwards talentueux saxophoniste, honker dechaine aux riffs entetants,
a la finesse ourlee, est capable d'interpreter quasiment tous les styles.

English Translation:
Originating in Pittsburgh, Pa, he is incontestably one of the worthy
heirs to the honkers and other screamers of the Fifties. Roby Edwards talented saxophonist, hard blowing honker with the attention grabbing riffs, with polished smoothness, is able to interpret almost all the styles.

At 1:30am on February 13, 2009, Ayaba said…: Oh, yeah...and Roots. My cousin James Roots sang with Clara Ward Singers and his daughter Desiree is a wonderful Jazz singer in Richmond. There is "Plunky and Oneness" and an Afro Caribbean group called Ban Caribe`. Richmond does not have anywhere near the venues that Pittsburgh has though.

At 1:27am on February 13, 2009, Ayaba said…: Well Richmond has so many musical people there. My family is one of them, although we really came to Richmond from Charles City County. Lonnie Liston Smith, Joe Kennedy, Jr.,Bill Robinson,The Harmonizing Four (Roberta Flack and Ella Fitzgerald came from Newport News, Va.) We are Browns, Carter, Greens, Jones, Wallace, Banks, Coles.

At 7:25am on February 12, 2009, Ayaba said…: Thank goodness. I was afraid it was all over and that real jazz had drowned in the smooth jazz sea, a category that is really a misnomer. You got it all! That is the real reality! The ancestors are dancing and chillin' and finger snapin' and groovin' to all that you do. You are representin'. Give thanks and praises for your soul, your mind, your heart...and your looks? they ain't too bad either.

At 9:54pm on January 27, 2009, Kennard Williams said…: Thanks Roby,

You're great to listen to.
