Annie Whitehead - Mix Up

Trombone in UK 1980s pop music meant, after Rico left the UK for several years, Annie Whitehead. She played with the latest 2Tone projects (Starvation, Wind of Change), she played with Robert Wyatt, The Penguin Cafe Orchestra, with Working Week and Jazz Jamaica All Stars - among others.

This one is her first solo album from 1985. Hope you enjoy! There was a CD re-issue in 2001 but I think it isn't available any more.

Robert Wyatt with The Swapo Singers: The Wind of Change (12")

As I've promised earlier today I would like to share "The Wind of Change", a song from the "SWAPO Freedom Songs" LP, here with Robert Wyatt and produced by Jerry Dammers! It was Dammers' next step on African matters after "Nelson Mandela" and "Starvation". The horn section is by Dick Cuthell on flugelhorn/trumpet and Annie Whitehead on trombone. Annie replaced Rico on several occasions in the UK post-2Tone scene. And she's done well.
Enjoy!
