“Black Unity” by Bobby Ellis and The Professionals meet The Revolutionaries - album review
| features in: Album Chart of 1977 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |
Studio One horn arranger and ace trumpeter Bobby Ellis is paired with legendary saxophonist Tommy McCook for the third time, as the pair blow their way all over some effortlessly cool roots-rocking instrumentals, courtesy of Channel One Studios house band, The Revolutionaries.

Ellis’ flugel-led wail on “Skanking Rockers” is worth the price of admission on its own and it’s he who steals the show…
