Who is Lin Biviano?
Gary L Pearce
70's with Lin Biviano as lead trumpet. With the chops this guy had, I
presume he wasn't hurting for gigs. If that's the case, why have I seen
nothing from him before or after playing with Rich in the early 70's?
Did this guy withdraw from society to join a monastery? Did he join Chase
and die in the plane crash? Any info about Biviano would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Maynard's MF HORN 4 AND 5 springs to mind.
A look in the Bruyninckx MODERN BIG BAND DISCOGRAPHY further shows Lin
recording with the Berkelee Big Band around 1965, playing with Chase in
Herman's band in 1966 (on a Columbia album of Woody vocal features),
following up on Herman's live album from the Riverboat (partly reissued
on the LP EAST AND WEST) without Chase.

album Rich in London recorded live at Ronnie Scott's. This was the album
that the middle tracks on "Time Being" were taken from - although there is
some stuff on the album not on the CD. Also, on the compilation CD "No
Jive," there's a track titled "A Piece of the Road Suite" with him as lead
trumpet.

Supposedly, Lin was fired by Buddy on stage one night.
Does "Time Being" feature his destruction of the bridge of the theme from "Love
Story"? That's another of those silly things I remember from high school and
have been haphazardly trying to locate since then. It was probably the most
tasteless lead trumpet I'd ever heard in my life, until Scott Gordon played me
a tape of Roy Roman doing "Isn't She Lovely".

No, "Love Story" must have finally died along the way (even though it had
survived the transfer from the original double LP to the US-release
single LP!). In Lin's defence, the whole John La Barbera arrangement
is a clunker ...no one sounds good on it (so why did Buddy call it
-- especially since he "doesn't do ballads"?).
Granted, "most tasteless" does not necessarily mean "worst",
but Marc, have you heard "2002-Zarathustrevisited"? on Kenton's 7.5 ON THE
RICHTER SCALE? Jay Saunders' work there leaves me speachless. ;-)
His "Live and Let Die" is choice stuff too. And let us not forget that
cadenza by Danny Stiles on John La Barbera's "Dichotomy" on the Manhattan
Wildlife Refuge's first album! Pinch me. :-)

got last weekend "Rich in London." If you're still interested in getting his
"destruction of the bridge" (I *LOVE* the wording :-) on tape for posterity,
E-mail me and we can work out the details of getting a tape of it to you.
You wouldn't happen to have a tape of this Roy Roman guy, would you?

The trouble with Bruyninckx as a big band reference is that Basie and
Ellington are in other volumes ("Swing" I assume). But still, my
memory must be going not to recall that Biviano also was with Basie in
the latter 70's. He was on at least MONTREUX '77, PRIME TIME, and MILT
JACKSON+BASIE. (I discovered this while looking up Pete Minger w.r.t.
another thread!) Incidentally, on all those albums his name is listed as
Lyn, and always second in the list of trumpeters.
