아직 여유 없는 내게 불쑥 들어 와버린 너
뭐가 그리 급한지 자꾸만 날 밀어내는 너

우 마냥 싫진 않지만
우 아직 겁이 많은난

Mission Improbable-By The Mind Club

Retro warning!  Old school. This is a song I used to play in that 70s band The Runners.  It was written by Skip Moriarty. Originally sung by Keith Jefferson. I changed this quite a bit.  I should probably get a little writers credit!  The bass line and other things.  But I think it's a great song. Produced by me in my new recording studio Henry's Place! Julian Cunningham on lead vocals.  Anita Jones is on the background choruses. Jeff Minnieweather is on drums.  Otherwise I played all the instruments.  If this was the early 90s it'd be a HIT!!  LOL.

The Runners was Keith Jefferson lead vocals/main lyricist, Skip main writer, Bong Bob Smith on bongos and percussion, Jerry Heckhuis or later Charlie Peacock (Chuck Ashworth)or Roger Smith keyboards. JImmy Griego drums, Al Kee but first Danny Virdier on bass and myself on guitar. Later Steve Skerlock.

I'm a jazz guitarist, composer and recordist. I also taught jazz at the University Of The Pacific and Consumnes River College. I own a recording studios - Henry's Place a tracking facility out of my home. My band is The Henry Robinett Group, which has been in existence in one form or another since 1985. We released 5 CDs.  The latest, "I Have Known Mountains" is the 5th in the series but without the group. I also play with The Capital Jazz Project.  In addition I'm active in producing various artists across the stylistic spectrum. 

I've taken a lot of my inspiration from my late cousin,  jazz great Charles Mingus. I lived and studied with him briefly in the mid-late 70s.

On this site I will put things up, all unfinished works in progress, unless I indicate otherwise, to either show what I'm working on or to give an overview.  We're working on a couple of CDs.  There's a wide variety of material, so I don't know whether it will become two or three different CDs, straight ahead jazz, my more accessible material or what. Many of the pieces here I have no plans to release on a CD. But it's good to get some feedback or just a feel for what folks are listening to. 

On another note, as I'm sure there's enough music here to upset everybody. Part of the pleasure of being a guitarist who plays jazz is being exposed to a wide variety of music in the popular idiom.  And frankly I love all genres. Part of my uniqueness, if there is any,  is being willing and able to play at most styles.  I don't consider my more "accessible" elements selling out, because I really like them, and I still play everything in my own style, rather than trying to cop anyone else either compositionally or guitaristically. What's more what personally drives me crazy is the narrow minded, musical fascism; almost a form of musical bigotry, that an artist has to stay within the confines defined as X or that anything but X is invalid as an art form worthy of ones attention.  The timbre of guitar and music has changed over the years. I like to explore it all. 

I believe part of an artists responsibility to is write what he hears and play what he imagines, if he likes it, regardless of other peoples considerations or pressure, one way or the other. If I only did straight ahead jazz or only did funk or only rock, I'd be dishonest.
