[78-L] Mel Henke on Tempo Records (was Brother Bones)

[Han Enderman]

Label image of Tempo TR 442-A I Surrender Dear gives as personnel:
The Ultra-Modern Piano of 
MEL HENKE
Milt Holland - Bongos
Mike Rubin - Bass.

Tempo 466 (!) is only by 
The Ultra-Modern Piano of 
MEL HENKE
with titles Pennies From Heaven / Cocky Cuckoo Clock (A Mel Henke Original).

Is this Henke piano an electronic piano or is it Henke's modern style?
Bruyninckx gives same incorrect info as Lord, and is an expansion of Jepsen
who also spells "Cooky...".

>>> Does anyone have these sessions? Are they in the Reginald Foresythe or 
Alec Wilder mould? Some years ago I purchased a Tempo LP which I 
mistakenly believed contained these titles, but they turned out to be 
more recent material of Henke as a soloist.
