Harold_Z Posted May 1, 2006 Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 FWIW I know that he used to live in the New Jersey area and at one time worked in the Sam Goody's in Paramus at the Garden State Plaza. That was back in the 60s. I'm thinking of that "The Grass Is Greener" album cover and putting 40 years on the cover photo. I bet it's him.

bertrand Posted May 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) Epistrophy, I was googling him, looking for a bio or something. Not much is known about him.

There were a few BN-ish albums on Atlantic in the mid-60's. See Duke Pearson's "Honeybuns" and "Prairie Dog," Elvin Jones's "And Then Again" and "Midnight Walk" (with Hank!), and Roy Ayers's "Virgo Vibes" (with Charles Tolliver and Joe Henderson), to name some.
