mjzee Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 From Wikipedia: In Los Angeles in the mid-1950s he played in a quartet with La Monte Young, Billy Higgins, and Don Cherry. Wow! I'd like to have heard that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! I'd like to have heard that. And he would have been in his teens then! RIP to a talented and versatile guitarist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After looking up his total output I was really astonished about the number of groups he was participating in and those issued under his name as leader. Cannot understand why he was not better nknown and mentioned in various forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesnik Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 (edited) I've got him IIRC on an album with Bud Shank. It's actually two albums, New Groove and Barefoot adventure, which IIRC again was the soundtrack to a surf movie.

clifford_thornton Posted January 13 Report Share Posted January 13 Love his playing. This is a sad loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I first encountered him on a Flying Dutchman LP by drummer Jimmy Gordon, where he played a very nice solo on a Stratocaster. That solo would have been the only reason to keep that rockish LP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin V Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 I discovered him via the excellent Lalo Schifrin & Friends and then went on to check out some of his work with Chico Hamilton. He really hit the ground running and had a heck of a career. Thank you for the music, Mr. Budimir, and rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to think that a few months later he was playing with Derek and the Dominos, and he wrote and played the piano outro to "Layla" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how I always said it in my mind, but recently I thought it might be "Buddimer." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said an English-inflected pronounciation is a toss betwen "Boo-di-meer" and "Beoo-di-meer", but anything else is out IMO (or would at least sound very odd).

sgcim Posted January 18 Author Report Share Posted January 18 I like the way his Wikipedia entry ends; after listing everyone he played with from The Association to Zappa, they say something like, "Oh yeah, he also played on over NINE HUNDRED FILM SCORES. He's playing in a band with Eric Dolphy at this age????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Beat Steve Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 That pic rather says he played with Chico Hamilton at that age? And Eric Dolphy played with Hamilton too. That might make a difference (style-wise). And at (almost) the other end of the spectrum, he played with Harry James at that age too: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
