Music reviews of Color Him Funky: H R Is a Dirty Guitar Player
Music Review: IMMENSE!
Rating: 5 Stars
Generally I tend not to pick words from other reviewers but this case is different. Mr Sadd thinks this work is excellent but dated. I want to add a brief answear in my review. If these two albums from Howard Roberts are dated I am Santa Claus. If these albums are dated the jazz history in its entirely is dated, something which obviously is not. Probbaly Mr Sadd and me have two completly different tastes in jazz. He likes J Scofield. When I heard J Scofield I tend to fall asleep, he is one of the most boring Jazz guitar player of all time in my opinion (and I know them all). I respect him, but I don't like him. If I have to pick a modern player I'd pick Joe Diorio probably. Second for me comes J McLaughlin. Certainly not zzzzzzzz sorry I fell asleep. =)))) The end. These two albums are absolutly stratospheric, skyscraper tall, eternal Jazz. My friends, this is some of the best music I have ever heard no matter the 7000 thousands jazz cds I own. Howard Roberts in these records is unbelievable. He stands absolutly near the greatest musicians Jazz guitar ever offered (Wes, Johnny Smith, Joe Pass, Tal Farlow, Jimmy rainey and many others). I totally agree with the amazon reviewer, "Howard's playing is superb, sophisticated and at times ferocious, with blistering solos that testify to the hard-driving style of this architect of the 60's West Coast Sound". I'd add that is guitar tone is superb, pure vintage 175. Buy this cd, you'll find two amazing records (they are two as a matter of fact, HR is a dirty guitar player and Color him funky) that you'll listen for a long long time. Absolutly one of the best buy you can do. 5 stars for each albums, so this cd deserves at least 10!! I really love this! Thanks Mr Howard Roberts WONDERFUL guitar
Some time later .... I can't stop myself. I have to say something more about these albums (they are two, do you remember?), now that I know them by memory, note for note. I think this combination makes one of the greatest jazz guitar albums of all time. Apart from Wes Montgomery stuff that is the greatest ever, Howard with this "compilation" comes first. his playing is sublime in my opinion. Only Hank Garland and some Barney Kessel stuff from the fifties come close, but Howard is the best. There are a lot of more difficult albums than this one especially in guitar a place where auto indulgence is very common, but this one is incredibly funny and lovely and absolutly perfect in its balance between technique and heart. I am a Jazz guitar player. I listen this one almost everyday. Immense.

Description of Color Him Funky: H R Is a Dirty Guitar Player
2 LPs on 1 CD - Color Him Funky & H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player. Music history was made in February 1963 at Capitol Records' Studio A in Hollywood. That's when Howard Roberts began recording a series of albums that would set the standard for compelling guitar-oriented arrangements. The series (beginning with Color Him Funky and H.R. Is A Dirty Guitar Player) capitalized on the interplay between guitar and organ (courtesy Paul Bryant and Burkley Kendrix, respectively). Howard's playing is superb, sophisticated and at times ferocious, with blistering solos that testify to the hard-driving style of this architect of the 60's West Coast Sound. Sundazed. 2002.Jazz CDs
