Colin Hodgkinson

Weird...I was talking with FT Baker about him today in my lesson. I love the first album. Fred refers to colin as 'Bomber' no idea why though. Think they did a few duet gigs together in the past, man would loved to have seen that.

On talking about techniques and things...supposedly Stanley saw him in a club when they played in england (Maybe the ronnies gig!?) and the next thing you know School days was about. Now I'm not saying stanley couldn't slap already, but I guess he picked a few things up for Colin.

Saw Colin Hodgkinson this weekend at the Marsden Jazz Festival with his new band Back Door Too. Alongside Colin were drummer Paul Robinson (ex drummer for Nina Simone, Van Morrison etc) and superb sax player Rod Mason (who, remarkably, is Head of Music at a Huddersfield comprehensive school).
The gig was wonderful, Colin's playing outstanding, and he included a number of great vocals on blues standards playing alone.
They were selling advanced copies of an excellent new cd billed as: The Colin Hodgkinson Group - Back Door Too which is released generally on 28 October 2008.
