Review
The Pan Assembly recordings spotlight the artistry of ace pannists playing contemporary and other familiar compositions at the time of each recording. In all of the recordings a varied range of instruments, the human voice, and the synthesizer accompany the pan. We Kind A Music, to me, encapsulates all of the assorted combinations of these accompanists playing across the Pan Assembly catalog. That feature and the selections on this CD make We Kind A Music a distinctive Pan Assembly recording.
Several of the tracks come from among the Who is Who of Calypso and pan composers: Fire – Crazy (and Ector); Dus’ In Deh Face – Goddard and Rudder; Musical Volcano – Greenidge; Dance Hall Soca – Preacher, Kenny Phillips and Byron Lee; My Band – Holman; and Pan Dingolay – Kitchener. Some of these compositions have become pan classics in their own right and an all time calypso favorite is Tan Tan. In this recording it is superbly rendered by Robbie Greenidge on pan and Frankie Francis in an inimitable saxophone solo.
We kind ah music yes, composed by we and played by we. Our happy music. [eC/Ron]
