[78-L] Jerry Gray "Restringing the Pearls"

[Taylor Bowie]

Thanks,  Julian...that is one heck of a band roster...the amazing "Goz" 
added power to so many brass sections...I know the piano was somebody great 
and Rowles sure fits that description.

Years ago I had a chance to talk to Rowles on a break between sets...we 
chatted about Margaret Whiting and  Lee Wiley,  two of my faves and,  as it 
turned out,  two of his...he raved about Whiting with whom he had worked on 
occasion.
