Tommy Bolin was an extremely gifted musician who made the ultimate
career move on 4th December 1976. He left behind a legacy of
recordings covering an entire musical spectrum from jazz to hard rock,
from soul to bluegrass.
As with many such artists, those who heard him perform at his best
have remained loyal even after nearly twenty years, and many such as
myself have had to draw on those expreiences in order to fill out our
knowledge. For myself, I came across his work with Deep Purple and it
has taken some prodding (thanks Kevin!) to get me to check out more of
his work.
Here's my modest contribution to keeping Tommy's vibe alive!
By the way - any reference to the "Official Tommy Bolin Fan Club"
should be ignored. Check out the Memorial Jam review for the latest
on that. And Trix's page
too.
