Hi all! It's Sunday morning down here in New Zealand and I am kicking back drinking good coffee and enjoying Robbens latest offering, ' Truth'.
It has been awhile between albums but I have to say it has been worth the wait. Awesome as expected.
I had the pleasure of meeting Robben a few years ago while he was on tour down this way. We had a good conversation over a scotch and I was blown away of how he just came across as an everyday guy. Managed to get a few albums autographed which was cool.
I am really into Jazz fusion and Robben has always been top of the list for me. The work of Jing Chi a real highlight.
Anyway must go get a coffee top up!
This is my first post here so Hi everyone and have a great weekend!
Nigel. |

Hello Nigel (always liked that name!),
Welcome, and I'm glad you're groovin' to Truth. Also check out Neil Larsen's Orbit since you enjoy Robben's jazzier side. It's also a very recent album, and I recommend buying it through a vendor named Elusive Disc. They offer free shipping for first-time customers, although I cannot say if it holds for outside the US. But, whatever the cost, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as Truth...
Come back often!

And Robben is going to be in D.C. for 4 nights/8 shows next month !!! 
I wonder what his line up will be ?

I read that Gov't Mule bassist Andy Hess would be joining Robben for the NY, DC, and Oakland gigs.
