James, check the archives. This has been discussed.
Not sure about the 7th, but Roger recently confirmed(via FB)that the 5th with Previn was actually Norm Pearson. He said he was out doing the VW concerto somewhere. I too had always figured it was him as well.russiantuba wrote:Chuck, I already saw this.

I do know Bobo played on 5 and 6 (amazing recordings), but this recording was 1988 which was the year I believe he left. My friend who knows the recordings confirmed this and doesn't know who is on this. It isn't listed on Bobo's website, and really doesn't sound like him. Great recording, but can anyone confirm or send me the discussion, because this is the only thing which appeared in the tubenet search before I even posted this.
As much as I would like to take credit I did not record Prokofiev 5 with Previn. I talked to Roger about that last March and I'm pretty sure Roger did indeed do that recording. The only recording I am on before September 1989 is Previn/Alexander Nevsky. I'm not sure about the 7th,if it wasn't Roger it's possible it was Tommy Johnson, I would have to listen to it to be sure.Pete Link wrote: Not sure about the 7th, but Roger recently confirmed(via FB)that the 5th with Previn was actually Norm Pearson.

Wonderful playing, Norm!
