	The Howard Roberts Quartet - Dirty 'n' Funky
		Howard Roberts was born in Phoenix, Arizona in 1929.
		Howard had a genuine talent for teaching and curriculum development - a talent he shared with his wife Patty (who as of this writing is still active in the education field).
		But it was the terrific combination of Howard's fingers, his black guitar (the often modified Gibson archtop that he acquired from Herb Ellis in the early 1950's, which is pictured on the the back cover of Color Him Funky and this CD) and his Benson amplifier that produced the extraordinary sounds on these records.

		Howard was pictured with this guitar on the cover of his Real Howard Roberts album recorded for Concord.
		By the time he secured his recording contract with Capitol Records, Howard Roberts was sporting a signature guitar which he used on and off throughout the coming decade.
		The Epiphone Roberts was essentially an ES-175 upgraded to better wood, equipped with a single floating mini-humbucking pickup mounted at the end of the fingerboard and an oval soundhole instead of the traditional f-holes.

	Vintage Guitar® magazine : Artist Pages
		Madeline Roberts (Howard’s daughter, president of the Phoenix Musician’s Union, and a superb guitarist in her own right) recently told us, “That black guitar was the sweetest guitar I ever played.
		Roberts modified the pickup cover by enlarging the polepiece holes on the neck side so the coil could be moved closer to the fingerboard, no doubt for sonic reasons.
		Roberts played the guitar through a variety of amps, beginning with a Gibson GA-50, but most often favoring his small Benson 300HR model with a single 12" JBL speaker for jazz playing, and a larger Benson with a 15" JBL for other studio dates.

		For example, were Justice Roberts to vote to take a strict line on affirmative action, the outcome in a case like that from the University of Michigan law school, could be quite different.

	Vintage Guitar® magazine : Music Reviews
		Roberts Plays Guitar, and logging a telephone book’s worth of sessions in the L.A. studio mill, Roberts moved to Capitol Records in ’63 and quickly proved that 1.) a jazzer could remain contemporary without dumbing down or marching hopelessly out of step, and 2.) in the right hands, hip could be commercial and vice versa.
		Howard and his partner-in-swing, Jack Marshall, provide the arrangements, along with Shorty Rogers, and they’re obviously having a blast with the material.
		On a tempo-shifting “Manha de Carnaval,” Roberts charges into his solo like a racehorse bursting out of the gate, and on the title track he displays a command of the blues on a par with Grant Green.

	Robert E Howard
		Howard's name is inextricably tied to one particular magazine, a circle of authors whose stories also starred in that magazine, and a phenomenon that has since become an icon of the horror, fantasy and science fiction genres.
		Howard always had a strong sense of history, and unlike other fantasy authors who put their characters in purely fantastic worlds, Howard delved into the rich tapestry of the history he knew so well for a wealth of material and ideas.
		Howard's main characters were grim and gritty men, often with a pessimistic life-view, but with an indomitable spirit that always comes through in the end and raises them to the status of hero.

	A Short Bio of REH by Rusty Burke
		Hester Jane Ervin Howard, Robert’s mother, did not enjoy robust health, to put it mildly: there was a history of tuberculosis in her family and Hester Howard was sickly for much of Robert’s life.
		On the night of December 29, 1933, Howard and three friends were returning from Brownwood on a foggy, rainy night, when Robert ran his car head-on into a flagpole, painted grey and set in concrete in the middle of the street, in the town of Rising Star.
		Isaac Howard was a country doctor, a profession that entailed frequent lengthy absences from home, and thus he may have wished to be certain that his wife of two years would have adequate medical attention when she delivered their first, and as it transpired, only child.

		Howard's invention of what has come to be known as S & S was more purely invention, more purely his own.
