Bill DeArango: Clevo Jazz
Interestingly enough, Bill DeArango’s love of guitar pushed him through various eras of jazz and even into psych rock. He eventually lent his talents to some Cleveland locals in a group called Henry Tree. On the album Electric Holy Man (produced by Bob Shad of Mainstream Records fame), you can hear how DeArango was able move from the hard bop of Gillespie to the prog-rock of North-East Ohio.
There’s no use in my waxing about this gentleman – except he ran a music shop down the street from where I grew up. If you take a look HERE, you can find out all you need to know.
