Emmanuel "Rico" Rodriguez
Rest In Peace
From the Duke Reid Group to the Jools Holland Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, from ghetto studios to the stage of Top Of The Pops, from the heat of Kingston to the less inspiring climate of suburban London, it's been a long musical and geographical journey for Emmanuel "Rico" Rodriguez. During his 50+ year musical odyssey, one thing remained constant: Rico's trombone sound — rugged, eloquent, uncompromising and rarely more than two steps from the blues.
