One of my teacher's great inspirations: "When one door closed, [Robeson] opened two." His Othello is recorded, and after listening to his recording, I was -- and am -- in awe. He makes Olivier sound like a bad dream. |

You can find some excerpts of "Call Mr Robeson" on youtube. Tayo's own page is http://www.tayoalukoandfriends.com/robeson/ |
