	Bob Bertles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the late 1950s and early 60s Bertles was an important member of the developing modern jazz scene that grew out of venues like the Mocambo in Newtown and especially the El Rocco Jazz Cellar in Sydney's Kings Cross.
		Bertles led a quartet with Keith Barr and Brian Fagen and Barry Woods, which played at Melbourne's equivalent of the El Rocco, the Fat Black Pussycat in Toorak.
		Only weeks after joining Bertles, Merritt and drummer Stewie Speer narrowly escaped death after their van collided head-on with a truck on the way to a country dance; all three were seriously injured and Bertles was left with a permanent limp.

	Stewie Speer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Another stalwart of the Sydney jazz scene, Bob was a powerful and commanding tenor sax player, who also had a strong background in rock as a member of Johnny O'Keefe 's backing band The Dee Jays from 1961-65, and he was also a regular session player on pop recordings.
		Bertles, Merritt and Speer were trapped in the front of the crumpled van and it took firemen more than an hour to free them.
		Bertles left to play with UK jazz-rock band Nucleus, Stewie toured Europe with Alexis Korner, and Max was forced to fall back on his old trade and take work as a bricklayer.

		Bob Bertles is undoubtedly one of the most experienced and accomplished saxophonists in Australia.

		Bob's front line partner on his own Rufus recordings is Warwick Alder, one of the greatest trumpet soloists Australia has produced.

	Max Merritt: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com
		While the Meteors' management continued to promote the group as wholesome and clean-cut, in truth they were becoming increasingly rebellious, living the debauched rock lifestyle to the hilt; after Merritt became obsessed with the music of Otis Redding [+], the band immersed themselves completely in blue-eyed soul, further baffling audiences of the period.
		Despite assembling what many fans believed to be the best Meteors lineup ever -- saxophonist Bob Bertles [+], bassist Yuk Harrison, and drummer Stewie Speer -- Merritt still struggled for acceptance; they accepted whatever gigs were offered them, playing the most remote areas of Australia just to remain afloat.
		It was while traveling to the tiny town of Morwell on June 24, 1967 that the Meteors [+] were involved in a horrific auto accident which left everyone but Harrison seriously injured; a series of benefit gigs were soon held in the band's honor.

		Television appearances, gigs and many pleasurable hours of playing with Max, the amazing Bob Bertles on saxes, and the late-great Stewie Speer on drums, took us to the UK where we played England, Wales and several trips to Europe over a period of two years.
		With the nucleus of a band - bass, guitar and drums still intact, the ex-Bret band decided we should continue and called on the talent of Bob Valentine as front-man/vocalist.
		Bob had decided to move on and was replaced by '70's songster, Russell (the Real Thing) Morris.

		Adelaide itself had some superb players, such as Bob Bertles (alto), Sylvan Elhay (tenor and flute), and Ted Nettlebeck (piano).
		Erroll Buddle (many reeds, mainly tenor) was originally from Adelaide, but was long gone; he was based in Sydney during the 60s, but, of course, put in a stint in the 50s in The Australian Jazz Quintet, a group led by Jack Brokensha and based in Detroit, Michigan - they recorded for Bethlehem.
		Also, Bob Bertles spent some time in London, England, where I caught him in 1972, playing with a lousy blues band which was way beneath him in quality, but, I guess, put food on the table for him.

		The disc is merely a representation of the David Jones Trio in typical performance, which in fact is how it was recorded Â— the trio simply invited a bunch of friends into the studio and got down to playing one of its typical gigs.
		And we tried something with a classical cellist but he wasnÂ’t comfortable with the idea of improvising live, because he was into repertory and being incredibly prepared etc Â— and thatÂ’s another side of it, and I completely respect that.
		So we got together at BobÂ’s place, and he was playing acoustic piano Â— a beautiful piano at home Â— again playing so soft to match the room.
