Bobby And the Boys Wailing
Edward Abbott | Stuart, FL USA | 11/08/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"All in all if memory serves me correct thier were seven albums that compromised the Roosevelt Grill series. I can only hope that the rest will see daylight again.



This review is about Vol.4 in this series. There is little question that this was Bobby's favorite group of musicians. All managed to park their collective egos at the door and do what they do best and their best was jazz in a live setting. Bobby always had a great time in this type of setting and felt the group pushed further with the interaction of the audience and it shows very well on this outing.

Bobby was a tape recording nut and had more tape decks,microphones and mixers than most studios. He was always trying new gear. Here on this Vol.4 there is a difference between tracks due to his nature of trying new machines. No matter all the tracks here are solid, although some of the editing could have been better, but hey that was Bobby and his hobby.



Bobby had suffered from diabetes for several years and sometimes he failed to keep up with his insulin injections, which could account for some of the performances here. Bobby may not have heard this album as he had passed a year earlier due to his diabetes.



But nonetheless this Vol.4 is a pure joy to marvel and listen to. After all this was Bobby in his favorite setting. This is a much needed Volume in the Roosevelt Grill series. We can only hope for more down the road."
