trust me, this sun ra limbo lp is crazy

[chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez]

okokok so by now im sure youve all heard how i found "how low can you go"-Roz Croney the queen of the limbo on audio fidelity. ok i dont think theres such thing as limbo music, i dont know, but to me it sounds like calpyso or something,-- sun plays piano, "tack piano", and organ. gilmore does two solos on SOPORANO SAX! bass is ronnie boykins and pat patrick is on flute, the drummer too

I picked up a stereo copy of this a few years ago (Dauntless 6309; the mono is 4309), and it is "off the hook" fun. My copy has a little more wear than I'd like (it is a VG copy), but it plays nicely. "Doggie in the Window Limbo" cracks me up. This album is a killer.

Fun bunch of silliness.

Considering how many people haven't been able

to find any more info about "Roz Croney" - where is she now, etc.,

I've long thought that no such person ever existed

and that the name is just a humorous reference to

band members as "Ra's cronies" or to the specific singer as "Ra's crony."

This article in Ebony seems to imply she is real:

I've listened to this courtesy of a blog.

Um. . . .Totally forgettable in my opinion. Doesn't do much for me at all.

But. . .if it floats any boats, let them sail!

i hear ya jazzbo, but i really like gilmore soprano sax solo and i like the "loop de loop limbo"
