| Ken Greene, a Trini
born steel pan musician, thanks Ray Holman and
Len Boogsie Sharpe for "unknowingly [being]
instrumental in arousing my desire to write and
perform originals." Those words set certain
expectations and Ken delivers a high standard of
composition and panmanship.
His ensemble includes keyboards, marimba,
drums, bass, guitar, trumpet, trombone,
percussion and vocals. There is a strong Latin
sound in this pan jazz recording which the horns
make pronounced but never overwhelms the Steel
Pan. The vocal track "Just Give Me Love" is
hypnotic. I say just give me more of "Dancers In
A Dream". [eCaroh/Ron March 2004] |
