ROBINSON,WANDA
SOUL-JAZZ POETRY OF...
Some of the most righteous poetry ever recorded -- set to musical backings with a nice dose of funk! Wanda Robinson belongs to an elite group of young, hip female African American poets -- others might include Nikki Giovanni, Dana Bryant, or Camille Yarbrough -- and during the early 70s, she recorded 2 totally great albums for the underground funk label Perception. Both albums -- Black Ivory and Me & A Friend -- mix together funky jazz and mellow soul instrumentation, laid out underneath Wanda's strong, sincere readings of her own work. The titles of the tracks should give you more than enough of a picture of the work -- and they include "Carnal Was The Word", "The Un Hero", "Paranoia", "Good Things Come", "A Black Oriented Love Poem", "The Meeting Place", and "The Trouble With Dreams".
