THE FRANK STRAZZERI QUARTET - STRAZZ 1977

"I don't believe in styles" states keyboardist extrordinaire Frank Strazzeri in the liner notes to this diverse recording on the Catalyst label.

BUNKY GREEN - PLACES WE'VE NEVER BEEN 1979

Bunky Green is an extrodinary musician, a disciple of the Charlie Parker bop style during his teenage years, his experience with Mingus opened up his development into a wholly unique fashion. This is his third and final recording for the Vanguard label, unfortunatley the first two do not do the man justice (record company dictators) but here Bunky gets free reign to express and explore within his music, with a great line up of sidemen to assist.

Randy Brecker - Trumpet & Flugelhorn
Albert Dailey - Piano
Ronald Kubellk - Piano on Tension and Release
Eddie Gomez - Bass
