I agree with DR. How can ANYONE think Conti is any better than Bruno. Conti plays the SAME thing over and over and over. I think he does the Johnny Smith thing in EVERY song. It is sickening! There is no imagination there, he has played for years and has developed his own licks over given progressions, but he uses the same ones in all of his tunes. I have reservations for Bruno also, but Bruno is WAY ahead of Conti in my opinion.
JIM HALL IS THE MAN!
But, you know what they say about opinions.

Ray, you said:
"I don't mean to demean Bruno in any way,"
'the impression that Bruno could hang with someone like Robert Conti
without sounding strained'
Could you please explain these statements?
