Gandharva/In A Wild Sanctuary - Beaver and Krause

1970/71 - Warner Bros. - two albums reissued on one CD. In A Wild Sanctuary was issued in 1969 and Gandharva was issued in 1971.
Selections : - all selections by Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause - In A Wild Sanctuary - Another Part of Time, And There Was Morning, Spaced, So Long As The Waters Flow, Aurora Hominis, Salute To The Vanishing Bald Eagle, People's Park, Walking Green Algae Blues, Sanctaury. - Gandharva - Soft/White, Saga Of The Blue Beaver, Nine Moons In Alaska, Walkin', Walkin' By The River, Gandharva, By Your Grace, Good Places, Short Film For David, Bright Shadows.

Comments: Nice bluesy guitar on Walking Green Algae Blues by H.R. Interesting music generally on these recordings - in the same spirit as H.R.'s Antelope Freeway and Equinox Express Freeway. The last 5 cuts were recorded in Grace Cathedral, San Francisco in 1969 by a group consisting of Howard Roberts, Gerry Mulligan, Bud Shank, Gail Laughton, Paul Beaver and Bernie Krause. Some excellent music and H.R. is great on Short Film for David. Supposedly there was a documentary film made of this event by Warner Bros. - one of the first music videos (see a snippet here). Thanks to Bernie Krause for some additional details. Bernie is involved with a company that produces recordings of nature sounds throughout the world - a direct development from the In A Wild Sanctuary album. He worked many sessions with H.R. and recalls him as very quiet with "major abilities and talent". I've seen many references where Bernie is cited as one of the key pioneers in electronic music. There are also some interesting comments in Into a Wild Sanctuary - A Life in Music and Natural Sound - by Bernie Krause, Heyday Books, 1998. It seems Walking Green Algae Blues, which featured H.R. was adopted as the theme song by the Green Party in Germany by Daniel Cohn-Bendit. Also some interesting comments and photos of the Grace Cathedral concert are in this book. Also this article describes the first commercial quadraphonic recording.

Comments : This is a live recording from the Sea Wolf Restaurant in Oakland, CA. H.R. is very prominent and plays excellently. Beautiful guitar on Don't Worry About Me and Greensleeves in particular. Thanks to Don Jansen for bringing this to my attention.

Comments: H.R. Only discernible in a couple of places. One nice tune Doctor's Office features a nice guitar duet that sounds a bit like Guitars Inc. from the 1950's so I'm guessing Al Hendrickson and H.R. on this.

Dirty Harry Anthology - Lalo Schifrin

1971 - issued on CD as Aleph Records 003 in 1998.
Selections with H.R. Dirty Harry's Creed (Schifrin).
Personnel: None listed.
Session:
Comments: This CD is a compilation of music from the various Dirty Harry movies which were all scored by Lalo Schifrin and issued on Schifrin's own record label. As far as I know H.R. played only on the first Dirty Harry movie which was called Dirty Harry. He may be on other selections on this disk but there is no mistaking his trademark tone and use of the volume pedal on this selection. Great music but they should give appropriate musician credits!

The Age of Steam - Gerry Mulligan

1971 - A&M
Selections:One To Ten In Ohio (Mulligan), K-4 Pacific (Mulligan), Grand Tour (Mulligan), Over The Hill And Out Of The Woods (Mulligan), Country Beaver (Mulligan), A Weed In Disneyland (Mulligan), Golden Notebooks (Mulligan), Maytag (Mulligan).
Personnel: piano - Gerry Mulligan, Roger Kellaway, bass - Chuck Domanico, drums - John Guerin, Joe Porcaro, guitar - Howard Roberts, percussion - Emil Richards, Joe Porcaror, trumpet - Harry Edison, Roger Bobo, trombone - Bob Brookmeyer, Jimmy Cleveland, Ken Shroyer, saxophone - Bud Shank, Tom Scott, Ernie Watts, Gerry Mulligan.
Comments: This album is discussed, with many references to Howard Roberts in Listen: Gerry Mulligan by Jerome Klinkowitz, Schirmer Books, 1991. There are some nice contributions by H.R. on this album. A DVD based on this album has been released in 2004. This was put together by Gerry Mulligan's widow and includes interviews with some of the participants, the charts and a master class given by Gerry Mulligan. This is a highly recommended package. In an interview with the producer Stephen Goldman he mentions that he was responsible for getting H.R. involved and Bob Brookmeyer mentions that there was a guitar player involved whose name he doesn't quite remember. I must say, after listening to this album once again after some years, that H.R.'s contributions are outstanding. More than his solos his rhythm playing just adds so much. He developed a very personal "funky" rhythm style that I don't hear from other guitar players in the jazz genre. Of course I'm biased, but for me he is the star of this album.

Session: Seems to have been recorded in Memphis and Hollywood. My guess is that the jazzier numbers were recorded in Hollywood, February 7, 1972.
Comments: A mix of r&b and jazz stylings. There is some very nice guitar work on the tune A Very Gentle Sound that s definitely H.R. In fact this is the nicest musical moment on the album.

Comments: Wa-Wa Watson replaces Hollywood Fats on Homework. Album doesn't list personnel. Details come from the producer Ed Michel who also produced H.R.'s Antelope Freeway album. H.R. is playing the Broadcaster. Many thanks to jazz record collector C.C. Weijman of Utrecht, Netherlands for this.

Personnel: arranger - David Rose, guitar - Howard Roberts and others unknown.
Comments: There are no personnel listed on the album and there seem to be a number of guitarists. But Workin' On A Groovy Thing has a fairly distinctive H.R. solo (tone is a little different though) and Aquarius has some fills that are almost certainly H.R. The bass on Workin' On A Groovy Thing is almost certainly Carole Kaye, what a great sound.

Personnel: keyboards and percussion (and producer) - Tom Collier, guitar - Howard Roberts, bass - Dan Dean.
Session: Recorded at Mallet Head Music Productions, Seattle, Wash., spring, 1983.
Comments: A record to be used to gain some experience of what it is like to play in a studio setting. The record is accompanied by charts for the songs. One side is the whole band while the other side is minus the guitar. The music is quite good and H.R. plays a couple of nice solos. The music is very similar to the much of that found on the Turning To Spring album. Many thanks to Jeff Sherman for this. This material was reissued on CD 5910 by Music Minus One in 2000 called Jazz Improvisation: A Course in Improvising, Sight-reading and Ear Training by Tom Collier.
