Rico Rodriguez

[Pogue Mahone]

Sadly, Rico, the legendary trombonist who was in The Specials for many years, died yesterday. He was a great performer. RIP.

Thought we were signing a flair striker on loan

Blow! Mr Rico blow!

 

[Jack Straw]

Another Reggae legend bites the dust. He always surprised me when he kept on performing, not looking like he'd finish the gig. Bigger cheeks than a Puffa Fish when puffed out presumably due to a life time of tromboning.
"Man From Wareika" is a beautiful album and if you're not familiar with it, give it a go.
Rico - RIP.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Well that's sad. Not my type of music, but he made A Message to you Rudy distinctive from the get go and doubtless loads of other stuff I'm not aware of.

 

[Peter Grummit]

Legend is an overused word. But Rico was the ultimate ska trombone legend.

RIP Rico Rodriguez.
