  1. Definitely agree that Canadians Mike Murley and Phil Dwyer are overlooked / underrated.

    I was in Toronto about 4 years ago and heard a set by Mike Murley and he sounded magnificent on tenor.

    back when I lived in Rochester, NY I had numerous opportunities to hear Joe Romano when he would come

    home to visit his mother. He played both alto and tenor at a few different clubs. i particularly thought his tenor work was outstanding.

    Romano can be heard on a couple of Xanadu records led by Sam Noto. He is also on an Art Pepper 2 CD set called Live at Donte's on the Fresh Sound label. Not too many years before he died Joe put out a very fine Quintet CD titled  "This Is The Moment".

    Fresh Sound released a quartet LP with Joe as leader. It also featured Frank Strazzeri on piano. Unfortunately I never have heard or even seen that album.

    Here's a link, Peter:

  2. mjzee: I didn't know that! There's always something to learn.

    medjuck: I was curious, so I looked up his compositions at the BMI site to see if they included the release date (these days, you included the release date when you register the song as well of the title of the album), but that data in not included for anyone to see.
