Broer po pop,
er kleven vlaggetjes
aan je naam 

op Twitter
op Facebook
op Instagram

Als toiletpapier
zou hangen 
aan een schoen. 

En niet eens
een mooie schoen,
nee, nee, 
het is een kistje,
een kistje  je
lulwappert je naam

je vergist je
van kistje

*

Friend, be careful,
flags are sticking
to your name
on Twitter
on Facebook
on Instagram
Like toilet paper
would hang on a shoe.
And not even
a nice shoe,
no, no,
a worn boot, 
a military boot, stop
dickwapping your name, don’t
boot your name to boot.

Je Vergist Je Van Kistje - Je Moerhussel

I recently wrote this one.  This is from the University of the Pacific faculty Jazz group, where I teach.  Myself on guitar, Sam Grobe-Heintz on piano, Bill Vonderhaar on bass and Malachi Whitson drums. We recorded it with horns, but it's not a melody for horns so I took them out of the equation. I'm dedicating this piece to Chick Corea, one of my biggest heros. I realized that I wrote and recorded it coinciding with his 70th birthday! It reminds me of one of his tunes; not specifically, but by vibe. This is just a quick mix.  Recorded by myself at Studio Bohemia. I've done a few re-mixes to better fit the frequencies and relative levels. Please leave a comment. I love the feedback, especially if it's good!

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.
