A highly promising young musician who made his record debut with Les McCann's trio, Bobby swings hard but reveals in addition a gentle melodic gift that blends well with the blues that are the core of his invention. A quiet youth of mature demeanor, he seldom spoke or asked advice at these sessions but calmly found his place, mastered the difficulties of the charts and blew to the grinning satisfaction of all his companions." Mosaic recently reissued Groovin' Blue in a "Mosaic Select"
set dedicated to Amy's Pacific Jazz recordings. |
