Is it Rico

Post by Dubbaddikt »

I recently bought a single in Oxfam by Ezz Reco called King of Kings. I bought it because in spite of being on the Capitol label it was obviously a JA tune. In fact it is a nice little ska number with trombone. I then thought it could be by Rico Rodriguez ,knowing how spellings on JA records can vary a lot.Can anybody confirm this please?

dont know that recording but I can easily recognise Rico's tbone playing if you want to upload a sample... I have seen named as Reco too so it must be him.

No, he's not Rico. Calvin Reid was first a boxer, as Ezzard Reed, and then a musician, as Ezz Reco.

Track down a copy of Mojo (UK music mag) from August 2002 for the full story.
