Howard Roberts - Antelope Freeway 1971

Howard Roberts was a talented guitarist on the level of a Barney Kessel or Herb Ellis, who spent most of his career playing commercial music in the studios. Shortly after he moved to Los Angeles in 1950, Roberts was firmly established in the studios, although on occasion he recorded jazz (most notably twice for Verve during 1956-1959, a Concord session from 1977, and one for Discovery in 1979); however, most of his other output (particularly for Capitol in the 1960s) is of lesser interest. The co-founder of the Guitar Institute of Technology in Hollywood, Roberts was an enthusiastic and talented educator, and wrote a regular instructional column for Guitar Player. AllMusic.
"Here is an interesting jazz/rock road album from guitarist "Howard Roberts". "Antelope Freeway" incorporates lots of trippy outdoor sounds and psychedelic influences with a mixture of humor and artistic expression. I have also kept both sides of the album wrapped as it flows much better and would spoil the feel of each 20 minute side. I hope you like it, as I did." Thanks to Chuntao from
