Howard Roberts "The Real Howard Roberts" - 1977

Howard Roberts, was a great jazz guitarist as well as educator, plus, he was a highly regarded L.A. studio musician to boot.  Gibson guitar reissued a semi-hollowbody jazz guitar, the Howard Roberts Fusion, in a few different iterations, and yours truly, has begun playing one, which led me to wonder about some of Roberts' musical contributions.  Well, here is one of them, aside from his session work.  This is his 1977 "The Real Howard Roberts" record, in it's entirety.
