tranemonk Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 so I'm over perusing... jazzmaztazz's upcoming release schedule... and I notice another batch of Verve LPR's coming out in January... (incl. Herb Ellis' 1st date... ) One of the ones coming out is "Good Pickin's" by Howard Roberts... http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?...ic&frm=lk_jzmtz So I go over to AMG, since I never heard of the guy and based on their bio and his discography (lots of Capitol and Verve dates), I'm wondering if this is a part of an upcoming Select or full set? Verve/Mosaic has done this thing a few times where they release 1 cd/set from an upcoming set (e.g., Mulligan Concert Jazz Band and Buddy & Sweets)... And I don't want to buy this single CD only to find out that there's a 6 CD set due to come out in 2006... So What's the story with Howard Roberts???? Anybody got a sample track or two of his stuff they'd be willing to post?? Will there be a Select or full set?? thanks.... (And Hey Ron S.... Another guitarist....!!!)

Sundog Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Session player and teacher extraordinaire. This is a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 GEEEEEZ!! Howard friggin' Roberts. Extremely competent guy. No Mosaic, no way. I'd prefer a Manny Klein set by a mile. On the other hand, if you want to send ME $40, I'll see what I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Another good album! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GA Russell Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 I remember around 1966 or '67 hearing Howard Roberts' When Sunny Gets Blue played fairly regularly on my hometown's adult pop radio station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Pusey Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 4 twofers of his Capitol albums on Sundazeds very nice Euphoria imprint a couple of years back. Very nice sound, So there is unlikely to be a select I would guess, since these have so recently been licensed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
