A Howard Roberts Select?

[tranemonk]

so I'm over perusing... jazzmaztazz's upcoming release schedule... and I notice another batch of Verve LPR's coming out in January... (incl. Herb Ellis' 1st date... ) One of the ones coming out is "Good Pickin's" by Howard Roberts...

So I go over to AMG, since I never heard of the guy and based on their bio and his discography (lots of Capitol and Verve dates), I'm wondering if this is a part of an upcoming Select or full set? Verve/Mosaic has done this thing a few times where they release 1 cd/set from an upcoming set (e.g., Mulligan Concert Jazz Band and Buddy & Sweets)... And I don't want to buy this single CD only to find out that there's a 6 CD set due to come out in 2006...

So What's the story with Howard Roberts???? Anybody got a sample track or two of his stuff they'd be willing to post?? Will there be a Select or full set??

thanks.... (And Hey Ron S.... Another guitarist....!!!)

Session player and teacher extraordinaire. This is a good one.

GEEEEEZ!! Howard friggin' Roberts.

Extremely competent guy.

No Mosaic, no way.

I'd prefer a Manny Klein set by a mile.

On the other hand, if you want to send ME $40, I'll see what I can do.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree. Another good album!

Looks like it rolled down hill.

I remember around 1966 or '67 hearing Howard Roberts' When Sunny Gets Blue played fairly regularly on my hometown's adult pop radio station.

4 twofers of his Capitol albums on Sundazeds very nice Euphoria imprint a couple of years back. Very nice sound, So there is unlikely to be a select I would guess, since these have so recently been licensed.
