This is an historical recording. Bobby Miller, about whom John Coltrane
was quoted as saying 'Bobby Miller. . . he's the baddest there is', was
believed born in 1940 and died in 1979. This live recording from 1967
unfortunately may be the only evidence of Miller's talent. This music is
rooted in and beautifully integrates Bop with the developments of post
Bop. In fact, when one puts this 1967 music alongside other music of
that era, there is little doubt the quartet of Bobby Miller and Ron
Enyard was at the vanguard of the day. Four tracks (Get Happy/
Summertime/ Along Came Betty/ Oleo) make up this exciting find. Ron
Enyard remains active in the Midwest. Bobby Miller, were he better
known, would accurately be considered legendary. Anyone with an
appreciation of Bop and post Bop will find this a great treat.
