Thank you so much...Incredible technique but even more impressive is the total lack of repetition..Each chorus is fresh and different.. He was amazing..Deserves more recognition than he gets.. Shally
The rhythm guitar is none other than Eddie Evans playing a Wurlitzer 200A. I recorded many of these dates and the usual band would've included Eddie Evans (p) Ace Tacone or Chuck Frye perhaps Dave Sayen (b) Teagle Flemming, Charlie Rice, (d) John Bonnie or Al Steele and Mark Evens (saxophones) these dates were recorded late 70s into the 80s in Philadelphia. J.C. Dobbs, Carol's Lombard were some of the usual places. Sonny Troy would also be in the rhythm section. You're listening to life long friends getting a chance to be together and play. These were my friends and mentors and the Jazz musicians I knew best, and I loved them all. Here's to you fellas, thanks for all the beautiful music and the memories as well. There's a wonderful book about Billy Bean written by Ted Greenburg, who is another wonderful guitarist in the L.A. area.
I'd like to correct my reply from last night. The wonderful book about Billy Bean was written by Seth Greenberg, sorry Seth and Ted. Thanks Jon for being the memory I wish I had.

Great soloing- who's on 2nd guitar? they're both great-
Wonderful. Bean's an unsung giant. Any context here? Approx. date? Who's playing rhythm guitar?
Sorry don't know who the rhythm guitarist is--date is 1979-1980 i think
@Johnny Soul When Jim Hall was asked 'who scared him' he answered right back-- Billy Bean!!
