Friends with Mel Ellison, Smith Dobson, Chuck Metcalf, & Brad Bilhorn, recorded in 1977. This is a direct from LP to CD recording and the audio quality suffers....but the playing speaks for itself. This group was playing various venues in the Bay Area in the late 1970's such as Keystone Korner.....and mpressive as this studio recording is, made some 32 years ago (wow), it doesn't begin to capture the excitement of one of their live performances. You had to be there. (The photos, by Lila Metcalf, were taken at the time of this recording)
