Music reviews of Mr Roberts Plays Guitar
Music Review: A Youthful Master at work
Rating: 5 Stars
Howard Roberts is perhaps the most widely heard and least known guitarist in musical history. His many years in the Los Angeles studios found him playing on thousands of pop records, commercials, movie scores, TV themes, etc. Whenever he played live, usually in Los Angeles, the audience often had famous guitar players in attendance, sometimes watching with their mouths hanging open, astounded at what they were seeing and hearing.
This outing puts the young, mid-twenties guitarist in company of recognized jazz performers, and he more than holds his own. Although the record is 50 years old, it stands up well to anything you're likely to hear today. If you enjoy this disc, I recommend you obtain Volumes 1 and 2 of "The Magic Band: Live at Donte's." With about 15 more years of experience and maturity, Howard sailed into stratospheric levels of excellence, burning up the fretboard with aplomb.
Howard was also an innovative teacher, founding the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles (now known as the Musician's Institute).
Cancer took Howard in 1992. It was a great loss.

Description of Mr Roberts Plays Guitar
These Hollywood sessions, recorded during 1956-1957, show off the stunning guitar work of this Motor-City master. Tracks #1-10 are taken from his first year with Verve's, Norm Granz. The last five cuts are recordings with Intro Records, and were part of the "Collections" album. Dangerously spontaneous yet masterfully executed music.
