Oh boy, you guys are somthing...Here's the deal...I can't even remember who did what, but I sent the Dick Hindman Secret Garden double CD and my Quartet CD..Speak low into who ever handles the sampler. I can't find who the hell that was, and i'm embarassed about that! Anyway, the Hindman thing was re-released by Dick from the original recorded in 1984. The Bohmann was recorded direct which makes it sound...Well, you know, not like its self. Dick goes on and on in the notes about how wonderful I am and even writes a tune for me..Paulo. (I thank him by quoting " Melancholy Baby" on my solo!) This alone is worth the price of the CDs!
The cut " Lost in a Dream " is the one Dick talks about in the liner that shows a little of the Bill Evans kind of piano/bass interplay, and is everyones favorite cut because of that. This was played at my wifes funeral.
My quartet CD is a " live " performance and actually captures the Bohmann sound pretty good. Both of these CDs are available on-line.
The Warburton/Bruning may be available through Capri recoords. Dale is a wonderful Jim Hall inspired guitarist and this was recorded during my Red Mitchell period. This is kind of a poor mans Jim Hall/Red Mitchell outing. Titled " Our Delight "
The Hindman section is also featured on Bossa Nova Eyes...Richie Cole/Palo Alto. This band toured Europe and Japan extensively.
Joe Bonners Impressions of Copenhagen / Theresa. Got me the European tour with Pharoah Sanders..and Samuel, how the hell did you know about that? Bonners Copenhagen can be found on Evidence if you're into out of tune strings and horns.
I got the Bill Evans/Philly Joe Jones gig entirely on the recommendation of the great lady Jazz pianist Pat Moran. Scott LaFaro made his first record with Pat.
I sent the entire " Bill and Paul " ( my time with Bill Evans kind of in story form ) To Bob Branstetter. Tell you more about this later.
Enough about me. What do YOU think of my playing?
