Jazz
Recorded May 1968 at Donte's in North Hollywood, CA.
Howard Roberts (guitar); Dave Grusin (piano); Chuck Berghofer (bass); Tom Scott (tenor on track 6 and 7); John Gross (tenor on track 5); Pete Christlieb (tenor on track 6); John Guerin (drums)
This is the second recording of Howard Roberts' late 1960's band recorded live at Donte's by photographer George Jerman. Like the first Magic Band recording, Howard's group consisted of a keyboard, bass and drums augmented by at least one horn on the last three tracks. For this set, the keyboard is pianist Dave Grusin, while the horn alternates between Tom Scott and John Gross, with the addition of Pete Christlieb on Herbie Hancock's "Dolphin Dance". After having spent all day recording in the television studios, the musicians that formed this group would congregate at Donte'sto unwind and play the kind of music they most enjoyed. Fortunately, George Jerman, encouraged by Howard, was on the spot with his Ampex 900 ready to record these moments for posterity. This session was recorded on two successive week-end nights, and is an excellent example of Howard Roberts' straight-ahead jazz playing at its best. The sound has been carefully restored by Joe Sidore and is impressive considering the setting and the equipment used. This recording is a must for all guitarists and appreciators of great jazz.

Because he chose to spend nearly his entire career as a studio guitarist, there are relatively few recorded examples of Howard Roberts as a bop-oriented jazz player. This 1998 CD has seven privately recorded performances of Roberts at the legendary Donte's club in Los Angeles during May 1968. He stretches out on seven jazz standards with the assistance of pianist Dave Grusin (a few years before he started becoming well-known), bassist Chuck Berghofer, and drummer John Guerin. In addition to four quartet numbers (including "On a Clear Day" and "Alone Together"), Roberts is joined on "Milestones" by tenor saxophonist John Gross, on a burning "Giant Steps" by the young Tom Scott on tenor, and on "Dolphin Dance" by both Scott and fellow tenor Pete Christlieb, who at one point get involved in a saxophone battle. The recording quality is listenable, if not flawless, but the music (which shows that Roberts could jam with the best of them) is somewhat valuable.
