Rob Michael: Guitarist

My sessions with The Joe Henderson Memorial Big Band

// December 13th, 2009 // Comments // Jazz, Rob Michael

I played with The Joe Henderson Memorial Big Band led by Warren Gale Jr. until until mid 2009 when, due to CA state budget cuts, the group had to be disbanded. This was a stellar group of musicians, many of whom played with Joe over the course of his long career.

These tunes were recorded in a 2007 session.

Trumpets: Warren Gale, John Christensen, Dave Fava

Trombones: Jules Rowles, Chuck Bennett

Saxes: Mel Martin, Pete Yellin, Tim Divine, Jean Fineberg, Dave Tidball, Jim Rothermel, Amelia Timbang Catalano

Rhythm Section: Rob Michael: Guitar, Dave Udolf & Benny Watson: Piano, Ben Adams: Vibes, Paul Smith: Bass, Bob Belanski: Drums
