  2. Don't have this recording but...... the same guys have a group called Red Hill Quartet. It's available as a free download from amiestreet.com and there is biographical info about them including their email address and phone numbers!! Maybe you could email or call them about the Luther Lane recording??!

    Harvey Lane - Tenor sax, soprano sax, flute. Along with musical partner Ricky Luther, has led jazz groups in Los Angeles for many years. He has a big, open sound and plays with a great deal of passion. Album credits include releases on Atlantic/Atco, Varese Sarabande, and Aim Records.

    Ricky Luther - Vibes, keyboards. The most prolific composer in the band, Ricky’s unconventional compositions provide much of the canvas the band uses for its musical images. His driving solos and unique approach to harmony add a great deal of texture to the sound.

  8. I hope that doesn't look like I'm jumping the queue to you, Cabinboy, but Christmas is just around the corner and I like playing Santa Claus ;-)

  10. Just wanted to say thanks for the kind words regarding the Luther Lane album. Also wanted to let you know that the current edition of Ricky's and my band is called the Red Hill Quartet. I justed posted some comments and background information on the album on the blog page of our website redhillquartet.com.

    On our website you can hear tracks from our 2 most recent CDs, find out where we're playing and join the email list.

    When you make music, it's always gratifying to know there are people out there who appreciate the work.

    Regards...
