And if it was just "the man in the small print on the label" himself? Heinie Beau? The leader of the backing orchestra. He was a reed man and a seasoned session man, certainly well-versed enough to do his "white Maxwell Davis a.o." act here. Quote
JSngry Posted June 26 Author Report Posted June 26 I thought about that, but I know him strictly as an arranger. This sounds like a real tenor player, with phrasing credentials out the ass.. Maybe he did that too. Quote
mhatta Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 Buddy Collette? He used to be in Heinie Beau's band, and although he is known for playing flute, he is also a versatile (and can be gritty) tenorman. Quote
Niko Posted June 27 Report Posted June 27 fwiw, here is another single on the same label by Beau which apparently features Jackie Kelso on "Straight as an arrow"... Quote
JSngry Posted June 27 Author Report Posted June 27 Good suggestions all! My gut is still leaning towards Lee Allen, but I don't think he was in L.A. at this time. Quote
