The late Bob Enevoldsen

[AllenLowe]

I met Scott Robinson, by the way, for the first time in a recording studio (it was Randy Sandke's idea to use him in place of a bassist) and yes, he was something -

Waaaay back in the day, our HS "stage band" purchased a set of "professional" (ahem...) arrangements. We ended up using two - "Outta Sight" by Benny Golson & "Summer Snow" by Enevoldsen. The latter was righ in woodwind doubling, brass mutings, and a vibe/guitar lead. Our director was a reformed (again, ahem...) gig rat who called in a favor from Rich Matteson, who had not yet assumed the position (ahem X 3 ...) at NTSU but was living in the DFW area. When Matteson saw the Enevoldsen chart, he promptly went off into a spiel about how freakishly talented a guy Enevoldsen was, how they got to know each other working the in Tahoe, how summer snow was uniquely beautiful, how it was not uncommon in Tahoe, how Sammy Davis. Jr. was one of the greatest, most giving people he'd ever met, and a joke involving a Jew, an Arab, a fly, and an airplane, all in less than 10 minutes.

You don't get high school jazz education like that anymore, folks. You just don't.

Just got two CDs by Ntemi Piliso, who played all the saxes up from baritone to soprano, filled in occasionally on piano, flute, mouth organ and drums, and was also a very competent string bass player - it sez 'ere.

Seth Asarnow from the S.F. Bay Area is the most versatile multi instrumentalist I have met.

cello, bass, piano, organ (B3), vibes, drums, bandoneon, composer, transcriber, and I'm sure some horns that I don't know about.

He is very well versed in jazz, pop, rock, tango, etc. He is a wonder.

One page about him.

Guess we should start a multi instrumentalist thread.

Anyway, I just came upon this Earl Bostic info. Check out what he is playing.

He his doubles are 1/4 as good as his alto playing...
