T
he first album “Mind How You Go” was released in 1990, the second, “Talk, Talk & More Talk” in 1993 – both on Acid Jazz Records. Some of the first album was recorded before I had the record deal with Acid Jazz & as far as I knew at the time I was writing & playing latin jazz. How wrong can you be? It turned out I was playing Acid Jazz. For this band I had chosen some old friends who happened to be some of the UK’s top salsa musicians: Dave Pattman on bongos, Simon Edwards on bass, Roberto Pla on timbales, Poland Perrin on piano, Roy Dodds on drums & Pete Eckford on congas
Both albums were released worldwide & some tracks have been released on other Acid Jazz compilations & have had extensive plays on radio & in clubs. This band was “put on the back burner” for a couple of years but has recently been reincarnated as Roger Beaujolais’ Latin Vibes & is (very occasionally) gigging again with plans to record another album. The only thing I need is money…
