Thanks so much. I heard Sam Brown on an old record with Keith Jarrett
  and Gary Burton (many of the tunes contained in that album are in the
  Real Book), and later in some other albums (with Paul Motian, Keith
  Jarrett, Liberation Music Orchestra).
  I know he died, but never knew what happened to him, and looking for
  info about him, i never found anything.
  I thing he was one of the pioneers of fusion guitar

  Hey Ralph,

  Just wondering if you could tell a young guy about what
  technology was available to record at home in 1962.
