It Could Happen to You

///////////////////////////////// TOO MUCH COFFEE MAN (2000) Bob's second Blue Note release – again highly praised by the critics – adds Phil Woods' alto, the guitar of Joe Cohn and the sterling Steve Gilmore / Bill Goodwin rhythm team.
The Coffee Song ///////////////////////////////// WHO'S ON FIRST? (WITH DAVE FRISHBERG, 2000) Bob and Dave recorded this one live at The Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles. On these two numbers, Bob's out there alone.
Health Food Nut ///////////////////////////////// YET MORE BOB! A rare treat! Jazz-and-poetry was all the rage during the Fifties. Here’s Bob with a perfectly nuanced reading of Lawrence Ferlinghetti's poem “Dog," originally released during that period on a Pacific Jazz anthology entitled Jazz Canto. As you'll hear, the meaning of life is succinctly explained in just under four minutes. Enjoy two delicious excerpts from Blossom Dearie's Needlepoint Magic CD: Blossom and Bob together on "Baby, It's Cold Outside" and "Two Sleepy People." Now here are tracks from three hard-to-find Dorough albums recorded in Europe. Bassist Bill Takas is an integral part of each. > "Aren't You Glad You're You?" (from 1982's Devil May Care II, cut in Paris) > "My Melancholy Baby" (from Clankin' on Tin Pan Alley, a terrific 1986 project that also includes saxophone work by Turk Mauro on tenor and Michel De Villers on baritone) > "But Beautiful" (from Songs of Love, done in Spain in 1987 and featuring Art Farmer's trumpet) ///////////////////////////////// OTHER ARTISTS DOING TUNES WRITTEN OR CO-WRITTEN BY BOB > "Small
Day Tomorrow," sung by Diane Hubka on Look No Further, a
Challenge album co-produced by Bob > "Never in a Single Year" from Carol Fredette's Everything I Need, a delightful 1999 release by Brownstone on which Bob is both co-producer and guest (an album that also includes Dave Frishberg) > "Devil May Care" from Meredith d'Ambrosio's 1985 collection (on the Sunnyside label) entitled It's Your Dance, with Harold Danko on piano and Kevin Eubanks playing guitar > "Just About Everything" from The Real Thing, a 1988 album by Nancy Marano and Eddie Monteiro, with Eddie's high-tech accordion providing the sole instrumental backup on a treatment that's just as upbeat as Bob's lyric > "Devil May Care" from a landmark 1962 Miles Davis date with solos by both Miles and Wayne Shorter (available on Miles Davis and Gil Evans: The Complete Columbia Studio Sessions)
