6) Michael Howell: The Call from In The Silence (Milestone) April 1974

Michael Howell – guitar

Bennie Maupin – bass clarinet

Henry Franklin – bass

Ndugu (Leon Chancler) – drums

Kenneth Nash – congas, percussion

... I think he went mainly into production/engineering after that. Unless it’s someone else by the same name, he popped up again in 1996 on a David “Bubba” Brooks CD.

On Michael Howell and David "Bubba" Brooks. According to the liners, Howell is described this way:

-born in KC 8 October 1943

-played with Hutch and Shaw

-moved to New York in 1979

-played with Dizzy til 1985

-recorded with Blakey and Dizzy among others

-continues to play and occasionally record.

Sounds to me like he's stayed active rather then going into production/engineering and he went back to his roots with the Blakey and Dizzy gigs and certainly for this recording with the elder brother of Tina Brooks.
