Mwamba & Robinson

Press quotes

Corey Mwamba and Orphy Robinson[...] was a great bit of pairing[...] as vibes players, they have very contrasting styles.

Looped rhythmic phrases that both players created on the fly provided a subterranean jungle and a sound world over which both could improvise. It was a magical experience to see these two work together Oxford Times, April 2008

[...]a fascinating duo between vibes man Orphy Robinson and his all-instruments protege Corey Mwamba that used electronics and laptops to adventurous effect[...] Jazz Journal International Vol. 59, 2006

This is a duet with the range of a dozen musicians [...] While the array of "little instruments" on stage evokes the heyday of the Art Ensemble Of Chicago, the hypnotic, Afro-Asian quality of much of the music boldly upholds the spirit of Don Cherry and occasionally that of Yusef Lateef. [...]the set unfolds as several lengthy movements whose evolution never stops intriguingly twisting through wiry pentatonic rhythms and blues-inflected melodic statements. Jazzwise, October 2006
