'For Alec Wilder'

Jimmy Wyble (b 1922) is best known as a studio guitarist in the Los Angeles
area - much revered by fellow guitarists There are many examples of him playing
on www.youtube.com.

A recent CD dedicated to Jimmy Wyble, who as far as I know is still alive, has
been put together by well-known LA musicians, led by Larry Koonse.

non-members)

I mention it here because one of the tunes, presumably a Jimmy Wyble
composition, is 'For Alec Wilder' . I know nothing of the connection between
Jimmy Wyble and Alec Wilder, although Wyble played with Benny Goodman for some
years.
