Howard Roberts
Howard Roberts was a talented guitarist on the level of a Barney Kessel
or Herb Ellis, who spent most of his career playing commercial music
in the studios.
Shortly after he moved to Los Angeles in 1950, Roberts was firmly established
in the studios, although on occasion he recorded jazz (most notably
twice for Verve during 1956-1959, a Concord session from 1977, and one
for Discovery in 1979); however, most of his other output (particularly
for Capitol in the 1960s) is of lesser interest.
The co-founder of the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, Roberts
was an enthusiastic and talented educator, and wrote a regular instructional
column for Guitar Player.
